The Forsaken

Now she wondered if perhaps he had forsaken her that night as they’d bid him, she’d not be here with him now.Suffering the hatred of the one man she’d loved for as long as she could remember. The one man she’d never stopped dreaming of. Nearly every day.A slight sob escaped her, and she bit her lip.“Don’t.” His hard voice made her jump.“What?”“I can feel your memories. Your pain. Don’t dwell on things that don’t bring you happiness. It serves no purpose.”Your guilt tastes like ash in my mouth. Though he couldn’t see the things she thought of, the fact that they caused her so much guilt told him that it was either guilt for her children.Or possibly me. He hoped. Knowing how little the likelihood was.“What do you care?” She lashed out.Trying to hide that I'm right.Always hiding her emotions behind a verbal onslaught. Like any other hissing viper.“You know that I do.” Anger tinged his voice. His muscles flexing around her as he tightened with ire. Feeling like what he hid had

Complete Submission

Her cruel words still rang in his ears.‘Don’t worry. You’re not capable of making me suffer that much emotion.’ Those vicious words made him want to her body as much as she’d just wounded him. If that’s even possible.Rage flowed over him, and he took out on her inner walls. Bruising her soft flesh with his rough taking.She was beginning to fight harder which only fueled his anger.“Submit to me. Admit you were always mine.” He commanded.“Never.” She tossed her head. “You’re vile!”“Am I?” He growled. “You’ve seen nothing yet.”He shoved her over and pushed her onto her belly chasing her to flatten her against the unrelenting ground. Using it to serve her up to him.He put his palms to the dirt parallel to her and used them to balance himself as he dragged forward and then back. Groaning in pleasure at the feel of her tightening around him with each harsh stroke.“Stop!” She ordered. Putting her hands to the ground and trying to rise.Trying to get away from me. Again. But he was d

Styx's Sacrifice

Tightening her lips, she refused to respond. Feeling very much like a hard block of wood in his arms now.Unlike the soft creature that'd pleaded for him not to leave her, just hours ago.Angry now that I made her rise in her own climax.Despite her ire, she was too exhausted to push him off.He rolled to the side of her and tugged her against him. Wanting to feel a bit more of her warm closeness before she draws too far away again.Sighing, he said. “Let’s speak of other things.”He adjusted her so she rested on his chest. As she used to.Stroking her hair thoughtfully as he asked the burning question that’d been plaguing him. “What happened to the sweet laughing girl I knew in Enuchte?”“She’s gone.” She said coldly. Effectively ending any conversation there might have been.Making it clear she was done speaking to me tonight…Or ever…***The following morning Disseus found he couldn’t shake the curiosity he’d felt. Wanting to know her tale. What happened to her?It consumed his tho

Rain Drops

“And the years after that?” Disseus’ voice softened as he struggled to understand.Hating every word of this tale.“I lead them back to Enuchte. And the first fey I came across was a First Water Fey boy and his young sister. With the hoard sniffing at my trail, I’d no choice but to enlist the help of the children to bond Nierwae in the earth. Between the lands.”“You imprisoned Nierwae?”“Who else? I was fortunate that the two I came across were impressively powerful fey children. One destined to lead the guardians, and his sister fated to hunt the miraculous half-mortal fey that’d control the Giant Benu.”“You speak of Bernus and his sister Queen Risa Mane? It was they who searched for your daughter.” He hazarded a guess.Marnie. She controls the Giant Benu because he is her lover. It was finally beginning to make some semblance of sense.“Yes.” She nodded again. “I was lucky it was them. Together, we made a spell so powerful it took my own blood to break it.”He gave her a confused

Not So Easily Forgotten

When she didn’t respond, he leaned over far enough to tip up her chin. “Are you implying now that you left to somehow benefit me?” He was clearly incredulous. His eyes holding a hard glint that told her he was furious at the mere concept. It's pure idiocy. “I didn’t say anything like that” She was looking everywhere but at him. “Don’t play word games with me and then pretend I’m foolish enough not to catch your meaning.” Giving her a long look, he added. “Please remember we’re not new acquaintances.” “I’m trying to forget.” Go ahead and keep trying. “I’m not about to let you.” He straightened in his saddle, leather creaking. She felt his assessing gaze but couldn’t bring herself to meet it. Because she knows I'll see straight through all her little games. The sharp lines of his jaw tightened. A muscle in his cheek ticked. *** “What do you mean?

Purpose

It was Lon’s tentative voice that broke the tension “I could use your help here Edre, guarding Mora. If you wouldn’t mind.” The Hell you could. Disseus gave him a quick look. You're just trying to give her purpose in staying rather than defying me to go hunt. Disseus stared at him shrewdly. Clever man. “For you Lon,” She snapped before making her voice drip sweetness as she gave Disseus a purposeful look. “Anything.” Disseus stiffened and gave her a sharp look. She made it sound like an offer. Lon beamed, feeling as though he’d resolved the issue without bloodshed. He passed her a hunk of Almora’s leftover bread, as she sat. “Thank you.” She murmured. Leaning past Lon, she addressed Almora directly for the first time. “So, you know, I harbor no ill toward Dreads. And I'd have taken the bread from you. I was starving.” Uh oh. Disseus spun on his heel and gripped the door handl

Staying the Course

She hissed through her teeth at the reminder that she’d chosen a mortal for a lover once. Over me. Certainly, not liking me pointing it out. Disseus’ rage vibrated the air. His usual air of command expounded to the point his presence seemed to fill the cottage. Blooming even as she looked at him. For the first time, looking at him, she was truly afraid. He stood before her, one of the only two creatures in either world, powerful enough to harm her. But never would she have thought he would. Staring down at her with his eyes narrowed, lips tight, and body emanating barely leashed fury it seemed very possible he could right now. “Why do you defend the mortal?” She blurted in surprise. Stopping where she was. Still gripping the handle of the blade, he clutched. But not missing the dark seeping drops winding down his forearm. “He’s accepted what I am. Far more readily than you and your kind ever did." She

Skin & Satin

She opened her mouth, but when he quirked an expectant brow, she snapped it shut. Straightening on shaking legs she put her back to the wall to watch him fearfully. Afraid I may decide not to help her. He knew she was afraid, but he was so enraged he was having a hard time caring. Seeing she’d say nothing further, he rounded to walk away. His cloak cracked at the speed of his movement, as he suddenly faced her again. The cloth whispering to the floor behind him. As he stared her down. Jaw tight and face set in anger. She reared back out of his reach. Stunned at the violence of his turn. His elbows cracked into the wall on each side of her head, as he caged her in. She was pinned so suddenly, she found herself hissing through her teeth at the abrupt threat. Pawing herself for a blade. “Have you ever loved any man?” He demanded harshly. Wanting to say more but knowing he’d only get louder with every question he asked.

To Avoid

“So, you do know her name.” He referred to Almora. Ignoring Nim’s efforts to rile him. He spun her out away from him. Catching her hand and pulling her back to his chest. She cast a dark look up at him. “I thought you only called her ‘the Dread’.” He met her look and slid his free palm firmly down the front of her belly and then twisted it over the line of her hip. Sliding it around to grip the globe of her ass to pull her more firmly to him. She swallowed a lump. Standing frozen under his ministrations. “W-What…I…” His failure to respond to her baiting, was unnerving. She reached to move her hair. Tossing it over her shoulder. But he caught that her hand trembled. Though she was willing to stubbornly persist on her track. “Or is it only that I am unwilling that you find so appealing?” “Are you?” He smiled skeptically down at her. “Is that what you’re telling yourself?” He chuckled mockingly under his breath. His breath stirrin

Dreaded

He walked her backward. His lips slanting over hers in a slow sensual dance. A promise of what he wanted from her this time. Her hand lifted to press against his chest. She broke away from the kiss. “Don’t make me do this, Disseus. I can’t…Please, I beg of you.” “Of all the things I would give you, you’ll not have mercy from me in this.” He shook his head slowly. Conveying his severity. “Why!” She cried pitifully. “Why not?” Her desperation clear in the tinge of her high voice. In her shifting movements. She’s perilously close to running away. “Because, for a few moments, I’d have back what you stole.” He was watching her with dark intent. His movements to pursue her growing increasingly more predatory. She backed up faster. Deeper into the woods. Hands outstretched to keep him distanced as she floundered for an escape. “I didn’t steal anything Disseus.” “You did.” He said flatly. “When you took it all
