Bred (Imprisoned 5)

 

 If you commit a crime on Vaharis 6, there's more than one way to work off your sentence...

Corin left his home to escape a life that wasn’t his own, but he didn’t get far before that freedom he’d barely managed to grasp was snatched away from him again as he’s imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. A tentative friendship leads him to an escape, and then a whole new adventure begins on another planet … with a handsome Alpha considering him as a potential mate. Everything seems too good to be true, though Corin soon begins to feel safe in this new world. All he’s ever wanted is a life of his own, and he soon begins to see more opportunities than he’s ever had before. As the Alpha courts him, Corin must decide if his heart can submit the way his body has.

There is also a bonus short story at the end of the book. I like to keep the books in this series as stand-alones that can be read in any order, but two side characters begged for their own story. I included it with this book so no one would have to wait or hunt down another book to get their HEA.

Endless Nights

This story rambled around in my head for two years before I finally finished it earlier this year.

 Nobek doesn’t want to go to Endless Nights.

But he doesn’t have much choice. His older brother bought the resort, and it was his idea to do all the traveling for new acquisitions, so he’ll do as he’s told and go inspect the place. Endless Nights promises guests that “every pleasure” will be available to them, and Nobek’s assignment is to sample as many as he can.

Quinn doesn’t want to work at Endless Nights.

But the pleasure palace has bankrupted all the other resorts in the system, including the one his family owned, so he needs the money. They all do. To make matters worse, the resort has changed hands. Quinn’s job was already challenging enough, and he doesn’t feel like relearning how to do it just yet.

Neither of them wants to be where they are, but the cosmic fates don’t care about that. They have much, much better plans in the works.

When Jase found himself in a holding cell on Vaharis 6, he lost the last shred of hope he’d been clinging to. He’d been close to regaining control of his life, but any chance of escaping to a better existence had evaporated. His looks had always been a mixed blessing, and they’d likely be a curse inside one of the vilest prisons in the system.

 

Abraxa was born to lead his clan and doing so had been his only focus since the death of his wife. He’s amused when one of his clansmen returns from a mission to free some of their people from Vaharis 6 with someone else in tow—someone beautiful and intriguing and very, very defiant. Jase fascinates him, but the younger man also makes Abraxa see that everyone has old wounds that need to heal. Together, they just might find a refuge from the wrongs they feel the universe has done them.

Moonlit Kiss (Shifters of Arizia 7)

A new book in the Shifters of Arizia series is here! This story was originally book 6 in the series, but back in 2019, the story wasn't working for me. I wrote another book to tie off the series and thought I was done, even though I regretted not giving a HEA to Luke (or Ramsey and others). But this world has stayed with me, and I want to finish telling all the stories that were swirling in my head last year.

Over the next year, there will be 3 more Shifters of Arizia books. The next story will feature Ramsey, who was introduced in Scarlet Nights (book 5).

But for now, here's Luke's story, Moonlit Kiss!

Claude is ready to take the next step with Liam. He’s finally gotten over his hang ups about dating someone in the band he manages, which is a relief considering how his last relationship with a musician went. He knows he should probably tell Liam the truth about that, but he's sure he has plenty of time. Until he ends up in a meeting, sitting right between Liam and his former lover, Danny. The news that Danny is going to spend months filling in for the band’s injured bassist floors him, and it’s impossible to hide the truth from Liam and the other band members.

Danny felt sure he could handle being around Claude again, despite their messy breakup and a year of silence.

Assassin's Touch

Yuri has lived his entire life with no freedom, no choice. His situation only worsens when he finds out he’s being given to an assassin. He wanted to escape and explore the galaxy, but not as a killer’s plaything.

Korac wanted Yuri the moment he saw his beautiful face. He gladly cut his price for the chance to spend a month with the breathtaking young man writhing beneath him. Only imagining a few weeks of pleasure, Korac strikes the bargain, clueless as to just how perfect they truly are for each other.

But they’ll soon find out just how strange fate can be, and how quickly one touch can change everything.

Excerpt:

Korac studied the beautiful young man in his arms. Yuri’s body remained tense, and he seemed nervous. To try to soothe him, Korac cupped his face and caressed his cheek. “You’re shaking, sweet boy. Your name is Yuri?”Yuri nodded.“Cute name. I like it.” He smiled. “I’m guessing they told you all about me, but you don’t need to be scared. I’m not saying I’ll be a gentle lover, but I won’t hurt you. You’ll have only pleasure from my touch.”Yuri nodded again, his lips trembling a moment.Korac released him, a little confused by his behavior. “Did Barol do anything to upset you? The look on your face, honestly … I wouldn’t be surprised if you fainted.” Briefly, Korac wondered if someone had done a Bioscan on him when he arrived. Had the young rega been told just exactly how well endowed Korac was? It seemed unlikely, as the snobbery Nykonians possessed regarding genetic mutations would likely have had Barol treating Korac with thinly veiled contempt. He sighed, thinking it would be best to get it over with. Smiling, Korac said, “Come into the ship. There’s one thing I should disclose before we leave, just to be sure.”Yuri followed mutely at his side, his body still tense and his eyes darting about.Was the beautiful man a spy, dangled in front of him on purpose? Korac could believe it. Yuri was so beautiful he could distract anyone and be a mighty fine asset in many ways. Once they were on the ship with the shields raised, Korac turned to Yuri. “There. They can’t hear us. Tell me what has you so scared. Are you simply afraid to leave your home planet?” Or are you afraid I’ll catch you sending reports back to Barol?“I’m … just nervous … about all of it.” Yuri finally raised his gaze. “You’re a stranger. I’ve never left Nykon before.” He swallowed. “It was made very clear I’m to please you.”“And what I do frightens you, I’m guessing,” Korac said as gently as he could. He wanted to pin Yuri to the wall and make him so dizzy with need he’d forget any of his worries, but now was not the time.“Yes. All of that.”Korac paused and studied Yuri’s expression, trying to judge if he was telling the truth but still feeling unsure. “Nothing else?”Yuri tilted his head slightly. “No.” He shifted his weight a bit. “I’ll be fine once I get used to being here. With you.”Korac loosened the robes he’d been disguised in, pausing without letting them fall open all the way just yet. “I need to tell you something about me. You have no reason to be scared, but we need to clear the air about this before we take off.”Yuri’s pupils dilated a bit, but he seemed to be steeling himself. “All right.” He glanced down. “Are you saying you aren’t completely human? Or part cyborg or something?”“No, nothing like that, but I couldn’t talk about it here on Nykon, backwards ass world that it is.” He let his robes fall open completely and palmed both of his shafts, making sure Yuri could see his genitals very clearly. “I’m human, but born with a mutation. Two cocks, both fully functional. And yes, if you come with me, I will use both of them on you. But I’ll make sure you’re prepared. As I said, I won’t hurt you. I might be rougher than you’d like, but I don’t enjoy causing others pain.”Yuri actually seemed to calm then, which made little sense. The younger man took several deep breaths as he stared down at Korac’s cocks. They were perfectly aligned, one on top of the other with only a couple of centimeters of skin in between. The lower shaft was slightly longer and thicker. Watching Yuri examine him only made Korac grow harder, made him want to claim the beautiful man even more. Was Yuri so shocked he’d been lulled into this daze? Or was he relieved by Korac’s honesty?

Logan stows away on a ship when the station on Argan 5 is attacked, desperate to get away. He tries to stay hidden, but lusting after the ship’s owner makes him careless. Tyros suggests lots of naughty ways for Logan to pay him back, but the handsome man never acts on these suggestions, insisting he was only trying to teach Logan how dangerous life can be. Logan decides he’ll have to take matters into his own hands. He can’t go back to what he left behind, so he’ll need to persuade Tyros to keep him.

Excerpt:
  
Logan stretched out behind the cartons and waited for the ship’s lights to dim. Once they did, he’d be free to roam all over most of the ship, as the captain slept as if dead to the entire universe for typically eight hours at a time. Logan had even dropped things a couple of times and never been caught. The ship’s computer never reported him either. The captain, Tyros, seemed intelligent, but Logan thought it might only be academic. Tyros made a decent living doing something that involved a lot of reading and working on files, yet he remained clueless to the fact he’d had a stowaway on his ship for two weeks.When the lights finally lowered, Logan crept down the hall to relieve himself. The wash station in the back of the ship was small but still functional. He hadn’t been able to take a shower, as it seemed a key code was needed to use any of the main water reserves, but he’d managed to take care of things with some bottled water he’d taken from the storage area. Next, he went in search of food. Usually, Tyros didn’t eat much. He’d prepare large meals and then live off the leftovers for a couple of days. Thus far, Tyros hadn’t noticed portions of these leftovers going missing. The galley was clean and neat, but not too neat. Logan tried to put everything back in the right place, though, just in case.Tonight, he found some sort of vegetable concoction. It smelled awful but tasted pretty good. He ate enough to keep his stomach from growling for a while and then rummaged for some protein bars. Tyros lived off those, possibly because they were an easy fuel source, and he had cases all over the ship, so he never missed them.Logan went back to his hiding spot and sat down with a data pad he’d swiped. It was full of records mostly, but it did have a few games on it, proving Tyros had probably had it since he was still in school. The keypad froze up every now and then, showing the pad’s age, but Logan didn’t mind.He didn’t know where he was going to end up, but it was better than where he’d been. Briefly, as he killed mutants with some kind of laser sword, he thought about Tyros. The man looked human, but he had strange markings on his back. They might be tattoos of some kind or they might be evidence of a mixed heritage. They looked like clusters of dark circles, but Logan had never been close enough to really see them clearly. So many other alien races were compatible for reproduction with humans, and humans fetishized such couplings, so it seemed like one of Tyros’s parents could’ve been alien.Whatever his heritage, the man was the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome. Not to mention well built. He was fond of wandering around shirtless, and Logan had no complaints. Nothing could happen between them the way things stood now, but Logan had considered sneaking off the ship at the next port and then finding some way to introduce himself to the man.He sighed as he paused his game, his cock aching. He pulled it out and stroked it, closing his eyes to fantasize about his clueless captain.* * * *Tyros sat on the edge of his bed and ran through the security footage from the night before at quadruple speed. He chuckled when he came across his stowaway engaging in his favorite activity. Tyros felt his sex drive was healthy, but this guy? He masturbated every single day, sometimes twice. At least he cleaned up after himself. Tyros had been biding his time so he could find out what this guy’s plan was, but the young man didn’t seem to have one.Tyros had stopped in two different ports for appointments, but the stowaway hadn’t even tried to get off. He’d even tried to make it easy for him the second time, but the guy was still hiding out in the belly of the ship. He’d stolen nothing but food and hadn’t tried to harm Tyros. Yet. He was barely more than a kid, his pale blond hair and big blue eyes making him look young. And given how much he pleasured himself, he might very well still be a teenager, but his build was lean and somewhat more mature than a teen’s.Tyros felt a little like a pervert watching the guy, so he switched the footage off. It turned his stomach a bit to think the guy could easily be fifteen or sixteen. As an advocate, he’d worked with many victims of rape and sexual abuse, and he really hated the monsters who did that those kinds of things to others. But as he got dressed, he thought about his stowaway wandering around the ship and playing with one of Tyros’s old data pads. Regardless of age, the young man was attractive. Tyros led a pretty dull life, and it had been a long time since he’d been with anyone. If this guy needed help, would he accept it from Tyros? Would he be interested in more?Did he like men? And would he care that Tyros’s mother hadn’t been human? Some humans didn’t care at all, but he’d met a few who’d been repulsed. All humans loved the prosperity trading with other worlds brought, but many didn’t like the aliens themselves. Tyros pulled his boots on and cleared his throat. “Luna, turn up the lights.”Luna, as he called his ship’s computer, obeyed right away. “Do you wish the intruder detained?”The computer asked this question every morning. “No, thank you, Luna. He’s doing no harm.”“Yes, sir.”Tyros had two wills to deliver that afternoon, but first he needed supplies, so he had to go down to the galley and see what his guest had eaten. He always sped through the security footage just to see where the guy had gone and what he’d done while Tyros slept. The masturbation usually came about an hour after Tyros went to bed. Tyros tried to put that out of his mind as he ate a protein bar and looked around. His stowaway was healthy and well fed, and Tyros hadn’t noted any marks of abuse on him. Was he running from a debt maybe? If so, Tyros could probably negotiate with his debtor. He tried to think of other reasons the young man might’ve run away. Had he gotten a girl pregnant?Tyros sighed and went up to the cockpit to check their progress. They’d be at their next destination in about an hour, and Tyros sat down to ponder his problem further. He’d discovered his stowaway after leaving the main station on Argan 5, which had been bombed in the early morning hours the day he’d left. He’d thought he would be delayed a long time, but they’d caught the attackers almost immediately. He’d spent two weeks wondering if this man had been involved, but Tyros suspected that, if he had been, he’d have found a way to either hijack the ship or get off at the very first port. Terrorists didn’t sit around playing virtual games and masturbating. At least not the ones Tyros had met.He also wondered if the young man might’ve been a captive of the terrorists. The authorities on Argan 5 had arrested five humans affiliated with an anti-alien group. The group wanted everyone who was less than three-fourths human off the planet, even though humans had not been the first to colonize the Argan system. Tyros rubbed his temples, worry setting in. Most of the time, he didn’t fear the stowaway, but he knew that was a stupid attitude. He did keep his door locked at night, but that wasn’t enough, he knew. The guy could be anyone, even if he was cute. Even if he did make Tyros ache for something he hadn’t had in a very long time.Tyros went back to the main console in the next room and reviewed the wills he’d made for a local diplomat and his wife. They’d just had their second child and wanted to ensure their offspring would be provided for if anything happened to them on any of their diplomatic missions. Business had been good lately, and if these clients were pleased with his work, it would likely get even better.A crash sounded behind him, and Tyros sighed, wondering if fate had intervened for him. He could ignore the nighttime crashes, but his uninvited guest would grow suspicious if he didn’t at least investigate this one.

Excerpt:
Stryker knew something was wrong with his beta.And he didn’t like that.Stryker moved into the cockpit and slid into the co-pilot’s seat. They’d bought a new ship a few weeks earlier, and he’d let Rhys pick it out himself, hoping that would cheer his beta up.It didn’t seem to have made any difference.When Rhys didn’t look over at him, Stryker leaned across and kissed him on the back of the neck. Rhys kept staring at the data pad in front of him. When he finally turned, he said, “You should rest tonight. We have a big run tomorrow. We’ll be gone for three days.”“I know. That’s why I wanted us to have dinner and just relax.”Rhys gave a shrug. “Not that hungry. I’ll be in later.”He and Rhys didn’t have the conventional alpha-beta relationship Stryker had grown up with on Arox 3, but he was still the alpha. Backing down was never his first instinct.“Tell me what’s wrong, Rhys.”“Nothing’s wrong,” was Rhys’s flat reply.“You’re lying to me, and it hurts.”“That happens. People hurt each other.”Stryker grabbed Rhys by the hair and jerked his head back. Their lips almost touching, Stryker said, “Tell me.”Rhys’s eyes searched his face and soon glinted with lust. “Make me.”Stryker felt the smile curving his lips. “I will.” He closed the gap and kissed his feisty beta, reveling in the moan that came from him. Instead of resisting, Rhys submitted without hesitation, and Stryker deepened the kiss.When they parted, Stryker said, “You wouldn’t give in this way if you were truly angry. You’re hurt or upset. Tell me, baby.”“Fuck me first.”Stryker drew back in confusion. They’d been together for almost two years, and their relationship went so far beyond the sex that had at first bound them together. Rhys hadn’t favored sex over talking in a very long time, and it worried Stryker.“Are you worried? Afraid?”Rhys shook his head and stood up. He took Stryker’s hand and led him out of the ship and across the floor of their private docking bay. “Remind me who my alpha is. Come claim me again.” Rhys led him into the house and began stripping as soon as he was inside.Stryker watched his beautiful beta undressing, and his cock hardened at the sight. Just a flash of Rhys’s eyes could drive him wild, and he loved it when Rhys asked to be taken, to be claimed all over again.They moved into their playroom, which Stryker had designed when they built their home after his retirement from bounty hunting. Stryker stripped and pushed Rhys to the bed. Rhys’s gaze followed his every move, and Stryker climbed on the bed to tie him down. Instead of tying his feet to the footboard, Stryker bound them to his wrists, bending him in half and raising his ass high.Stryker smiled as he massaged Rhys’s heavy balls and hard cock. It leaked already, and Stryker bent to lick the head. He then got on his knees to rim his beta and ready him for a plug. Fucking would come later. His beta deserved a sound spanking for keeping secrets. When they were done, Stryker wouldn’t untie his hands until he had the truth from Rhys’s lips.Rhys actually whimpered as Stryker speared his tongue into his clenching, eager hole. He hooked his thumbs in and spread it wide to go deeper. He circled his tongue and laved Rhys’s channel. Then he drew back and gently blew over the wet skin.“Fill me, please,” Rhys begged.Stryker slid one finger in and let Rhys contract around him. He finger fucked his beta slowly and watched the pleasure on his face. He withdrew and went to the cabinet to get a plug, picking an extra fat one tonight. He showed it to Rhys and ran it over his lips. Rhys sighed and arched to lift his ass.Stryker took his time lubing the thick plug. It wasn’t molded to feel like a cock, but it was ribbed and did have a large, round bulb at the end. Stryker squirted lube inside Rhys as well before pushing the plug into him. It went slowly at first, but then it popped through the resistance and slid in several inches all at once. Rhys cried out, but then he moaned. Stryker pushed it in until the base met Rhys’s pucker, and then he pressed on the end and moved the toy within his beta.“Nice and full, baby?” Stryker asked.“Yes. Perfect.”Stryker kept massaging the end to make the plug move in a slow circle and massage Rhys’s channel.“I love you,” Rhys whispered, his gaze fixed on Stryker’s face.Stryker leaned in for a soft kiss and caressed Rhys’s ass. “And I love you. Tell me what’s wrong. I can’t stand knowing you need something.”“After.” Rhys tilted his head to kiss Stryker’s cheek. “Take me first.”Stryker drew back and moved down to suckle Rhys’s cock for another long moment. “You’re getting spanked first, baby. You’ve been keeping secrets.”Rhys turned his head away but lifted his ass higher. “Punish me then.”Stryker picked out a medium-sized paddle for this spanking. The surface was covered in a textured material that felt like a cross between silk and velvet, but the hard surface still made Rhys cry out loudly with every strike. Licking his lips, Stryker watched his beta’s skin pinken. He didn’t like to make it go bright red, though at times Rhys pushed him to that. Stryker loved the subtleties of their relationship and the fact that Rhys wanted and needed different things each time they touched. If Stryker had chosen a natural beta from his own planet, it wouldn’t have been this way. The beta, most likely, would’ve been constantly submissive and always seeking to please Stryker, even down to asking for things that would please Stryker more while neglecting his own desires. Stryker loved that Rhys always asked for what he needed when it came to his pleasure.Stryker threw the paddle aside and knelt on the bed. He massaged the end of the plug to stimulate Rhys more as he kissed his inflamed skin. He licked at the spots that seemed especially tender. Rhys sighed and arched, begging to be taken. His cock lay against his stomach, leaking fluid. His balls looked heavy with cum, and Stryker took one into his mouth.Rhys cried out, and Stryker sucked gently as he drew the plug from Rhys’s body. The lube he preferred tasted like citrus, and Stryker slid his tongue into Rhys to tease him. More sighs met his ears, and he added a finger to play with Rhys’s prostate. When Rhys’s cries grew louder, Stryker drew back and stroked himself. He gazed down at Rhys and studied his face. The pleasure in his expression couldn’t be denied, but something in his eyes still troubled Stryker.Stryker leaned down and kissed Rhys’s forehead. “I’m going to take you, and then you’re going to tell me what you want. What you need. I’d never deny you anything, Rhys.”Rhys chewed his lower lip and nodded. “I know,” he whispered.Stryker got into position. That response made him long to ask what had Rhys so worried, but his need to be inside Rhys couldn’t be denied. He slid home easily, as they’d always fit together so perfectly. He lowered himself to cover Rhys’s body with his and kiss his neck. They fucked slowly, much more slowly than Stryker had intended, but he felt the uncertainty coming from Rhys. He wished to reassure his beta and comfort him.Grinding against Rhys’s recently spanked ass made many little whimpers fall from Rhys’s lips, but his eyes shone with need as he looked up at Stryker. Pressing closer to create more friction, Stryker dropped a kiss to Rhys’s lips. Rhys responded hungrily and began to rub his ass against Stryker groin even harder.“Fill me, Stryker,” Rhys whispered. “I want your seed.”Stryker pushed deeper and then began a series of short thrusts. He came with a shudder as Rhys clenched around him. Their gazes locked, and Stryker knew what Rhys wanted. He hadn’t spilled yet, and just the thought of him still in need roused Stryker’s cock. He slid out and went on his knees again. He lapped at the seed dripping from Rhys’s ass and teased his heavy balls as well. He could feel how much Rhys needed to come. He gently freed Rhys’s legs and lowered them. Rising from the bed, Stryker took up the lube again and coated his finger, quickly preparing his own entrance. Being fucked by one’s beta was a natural part of the full claiming, but most alphas didn’t allow it often after that coupling. Fucking an alpha was supposed to be a rare treat, a reward for very good betas, but Stryker gave in every time Rhys wanted to fuck him. He loved switching and being fucked by Rhys, and he simply adored the feel his little beta’s cum inside him.Rhys licked his lips as Stryker straddled him and guided his cock. Stryker lowered himself slowly and opened his ass up for the penetration. Watching Rhys’s face during this always gave him pleasure. His little beta could be so expressive, every single movement of his lips and eyes telling Stryker how much pleasure he was feeling.
