Lady Luck
Get the complete series here! -- EXCERPT: NYLEENA The only thing I hate more about Luck than the fact that we’re forced to fuck every day to keep our sanity is his lack of dirty talk. He refuses to talk to me or let me talk to him. That makes me ragey. Because dirty talk is my favorite and he won’t engage. But one of these days… “Come,” he commands me. “Are you kidding?” I ask. “We just started.” He slaps his hand over my mouth and the rage that was only imaginary two seconds ago manifests in all its glorious reality when I wrap my legs around his middle and squeeze him so tight with my thighs, he gasps. Take that, asshole. He glares at me, momentarily distracted. And I use that distraction to my advantage by twisting my body and flipping him over so he’s on his back. He’s still inside me, the heads of both his cocks swollen in place. Locking us together until we come and relieve the lust hidden deep inside our genetically-matched souls. My tits bounce on his chest and he grabs my hair, shoots me a warning glare. I know what that glare says. Don’t make me bleed, Nyleena. He shoots this look at me every time, and every time I take it as a challenge. I raise my hand up. “Don’t,” he growls. “Oh,” I say. “He can speak. Tell me more,” I purr. “Do not—” But I do it anyway. I swipe my nails right down the side of his cheek and hiss at him like a feral cat. He wraps his muscled arms around my upper body, squeezing me tight as he pulls me down on to his chest. I’ll admit, Luck is strong. And when he gets me in a lock like this, there’s no way I can escape until he lets me. But I don’t make it easy. I squirm and twist in his grip. All the while his hips are thrusting up with powerful force. So hard that his balls are slapping against my clit. This momentarily takes my mind off the forced submission and I float a little. “Come,” he commands again, growling out the word in my ear. “Right. Fucking—” I do. I come. The light locked up inside me pulses out in flickering waves at first. And then it stops just as his cocks contract inside me. My luminous flux holds steady for a moment so when his contractions are over, and his sperm is ready to explode into me, my flux knows what to do and it bursts into fractals of geometrically-shaped light that dance and crackle around our bodies. Electrifying them like charged ions flowing out from a sun on a matrix of deep, dark space-time. He throws me over to the side, his cocks slipping out of me, dripping with our shared release, and breathes hard and heavy. I lie there with eyes closed. Not caring that he just literally threw me away. Because this is the best part. I wait for him to tuck his dicks away, mumble out, “Thank you,” as he walks off and leaves me alone. And then… I let out the last of my climax. Because I never give him all of me. I have one little hidden, secret surprise that he will never know about. I open my eyes and come for real. Silver-laced lavender light shoots up and out, bouncing off the UV reflectors above the grass and flowers, and comes back down to blanket my body, and this entire secret garden, in a soft, purple glow. And all the plants around me grow ten times taller from my sexy, lust-filled, nutritious light.

Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / iBooks -- EXCERPT: I lead the king down to the back entrance to the gardens, and we walk along between plots of dill, thyme, and chives. I wait, knowing he will speak when he is ready. “How much does your mother confide in you?” he asks as we near the middle of the gardens. I slide a look at him from the corner of my eye. “Enough. My lord.” His lips quirk, the first true smile I have seen from him. “Is that honest?” I pause beside a bed of borage. “How much do I need to know, my lord? You are here seeking a wife for your son.” “I am,” he agrees. “How often do you participate in the discussions between your mother and the council?” “I don’t, my lord. You should know I am not . . .” I hesitate, aware that I have no place telling this king what he should or should not know. Or jeopardizing such an alliance for my land. “Not what?” I struggle to find an appropriate way to finish. “Not—it is not thought my place to attend such meetings.” “You would never inherit the throne?” I could inherit, it is true, but I doubt the council would allow it given my history—and certainly not now that I might marry into another royal family, one that would be happy to add our lands to their own. Either way, should my brother die, the council would certainly pass over me in favor of our nearest cousin. “It is unlikely,” I say finally. “I doubt that,” the king says. “It has been my experience that even young men die. What you mean to say is your council would not accept you should your brother die without issue and you were yet unwed. Why?” If he knows all the answers, why is he asking? I look him in the eye and quip, “Perhaps I am too honest, my lord.” He laughs. “And too straightforward. You will have to learn to play with your words more.” He reaches out, his fingertips brushing my arm where my brother held me. I flinch back reflexively, as if the bruises have already darkened—as if he could see them through my sleeve. He watches me, his eyes glinting in the sunlight. “Once you are Menaiya’s,” he says, “your brother will never hurt you again.”
