#MidWeekTease: He couldn’t get her out of his mind in BEYOND REACH #sfr #romance #books
Happy Wednesday! It’s time for Mid Week Tease. This month, I’m sharing excerpts from Beyond Reach, one of my upcoming sci-fi romance stories. Here’s another excerpt…
Setup: Aris is waiting for his Suavita (sensual massage therapist) to arrive. But, after meeting Xia on the street, he cannot get her out of his head…
Aristides sighed heavily, waiting on the bed. He couldn’t get the young Terran woman he’d met on the street out of his mind. Xia. Not only was she absolutely stunning, she also reminded him of the woman he’d dreamed about for years.
But she shouldn’t be in his thoughts; Terrans and Ubetrons did not mingle. They didn’t even speak from distances. Their planets were positioned far from each other, across the universe. Bad blood had been spilled many star cycles ago, causing a rift between the two societies. And yet, he would bridge the gap, if given the opportunity, to experience Xia.
He closed his eyes, envisioning her beautiful face, her long, raven-colored hair flowing down her back, her almond-shaped, violet eyes. Oh, he craved her, a feeling he’d only felt for an imaginary woman until now.
A knock on the door startled him from his thoughts.
Shit! His Suavita had arrived. He’d been lucky to get an appointment so soon after his quarantine period. The bronze-skinned Culvan man at the desk wanted him to take tomorrow night, but a few gems he’d managed to collect from the caves of Carbae had persuaded the man to rearrange the schedule. How would the woman sent to him feel if he turned her away? He’d never get his money back, but could he enjoy the pleasures the Suavitas were known for if he had another woman on his mind? Perhaps that would further heighten the experience. And how would he find the Terran woman anyway? He knew nothing but her name and the sight of her shapely body.
Might as well enjoy the planet while I’m here. “Come in.”
The door to his suite slid open and the woman slipped into his darkened room. “Sir, I’ll be your Suavita for the evening. Would you like me to turn the lights up?”
“No, leave the room dim.” He planned to picture Xia bringing him pleasure instead.
The woman gasped. He opened his eyes to get a better look, but couldn’t see her facial expressions. Somehow, though, he could sense something familiar about her.
“Aristides. Your name is Aristides?”
