Excerpt from BEYOND REACH
Walking into the silky rear-end of an uidiss,
she came to an abrupt halt. The creature had been walking at a steady pace and
then stopped. She’d failed to notice in time. Wiping fluff off her face, she
turned around and walked into another hard body. “I’m so sorry.”
Hands clamped down on her arms. “Are you all
right?”
She stared up into deep brown eyes. Chewing her
bottom lip, she nodded. If this man hadn’t been holding on to her, she would
have fallen to the ground. The word swoon held no meaning for her until now.
Am I only like this because of the ipsum I
inhaled back home? Or was there something more she found heart-racing
about the blue-skinned, well-muscled hunk of an Ubetron who held her up?
No, she couldn’t feel anything for him. Their
races had been sworn enemies for years. Everyone across the galaxy knew that.
Yet here she was, standing face to face, gazing intently at him, with no will
to move.
He smiled at her, drawing her attention from
his eyes to his lips. How would they taste? She’d never kissed anyone
intimately before.
“You look familiar. What’s your name?”
Name? Gods, what was her name? “Ni…Nixie.” Had
she told him, or only thought the word?
He released her arms to brush his fingers along
her jaw line. How she remained standing, she had no idea.
“Nixie. A beautiful name belonging to a
beautiful woman. Have we met before?”
Moisture pooled between her thighs. Her cheeks
warmed. “Thank you, but no.” She’d definitely remember meeting him.
As he trailed a hand down her arm, she sighed.
Her entire body tingled from his gentle touch.
“Okay, weird. You must remind me of someone
else. Now tell me, why were you in such a rush that you walked into the rear
end of that slow-moving beast? We’re supposed to be on vacation, enjoying all
this planet has to offer.”
Laughing at his description of the uidiss, she
leaned against his arm. Never before had she enjoyed a man’s attention like
this. “I’m not visiting. I live here. Have my whole life.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Really? So, what was
it like growing up on the pleasure planet?”
About BEYOND REACH:
Abandoned by her parents…
Born on Earth, Nixie was left on the planet
Schedar when her parents returned home. Growing up on the pleasure planet, she
follows in the footsteps of the woman who raised her, and learns the art of
erotic massage. But Nixie yearns for a different life, one where she receives
as much pleasure as she gives.
A runaway prince…
In an attempt to escape his arranged marriage,
Prince Mekai flees to Schedar. For, he could never love his betrothed when he
already loves another, a fantasy woman who invades his dreams every night. When
the woman he seeks carnal pleasure from turns out to be the same one in his
fantasies, he believes fate brought them together.
Fated lovers or forever enemies?
Just when Nixie and Mekai believe they have a
chance at happiness with each other, they find out why their races are at war,
and why they can never be together.
