Guilt is a Demon
Mardichi keenly watched Bast probing Teverius for the intimate details of trouble between Teverius and his pretty purple-haired mate.
He watched Bast for so long that he could no longer take it. “What? Why are you staring?”
“Ye’re avoiding returning ta see if yer valkyrie is enraged at ye.” Mardichi said perceptively.
Bast shot him a black look. Knowing full well that the barbarian was right.
I hate when he’s smarter than he looks. Bast groaned inwardly.
However, he received a momentary reprieve when the innkeeper rushed to the table with a missive in hand. Bast grunted and lifted a staying palm. “I don’t want it.”
“He insists me give it ta ye, me lord. I’ve told ’im yer answer willna change.” The innkeeper looked a little desperate. “Please take it or he migh’ kill me.”
“He won’t kill you for me refusing to look at his latest offer.”
“You dunnot know this man, me lord. He migh’.”
Bast groaned. “Set it

The Taming It Will be You
Sebastian wondered briefly if Mardichi was steady enough on his feet to help him in, or if they’d both end up in a bruised heap. But a glance at the barbarian’s balanced stance assured him Mardichi was so accustomed to drink, that one meager cask was not enough to maintain his happy intoxication. That settled, Bast felt his stomach drop at the prospect of entering the castle to find the valkyrie’s disappointment. I can’t bear that crushed look of her. I should’ve hid in an inn room rather than partaken. “Oh.” Mardichi reared back as they pushed through the doors. “What ‘tis tha’ feeling?” “Her emotion.” “She has tha’?” Mardichi’s voice rose in surprise. Bast swallowed. There was an eerie silence in the castle that told him she was already asleep. He caught the faint sound of a girl crying. And the growl of an enraged man’s shouting. Though the words were indiscernible. An intermingled muttering of sound.
The Taming Road of Immortality
Elsabet, already curled in his lap, pressed her supple lips to his mouth. He made a surprised sound, pulling away from her. “What’s wrong?” She asked, confused. “I’ve no wish for our kiss to be one in which I taste like the one that was so cruel to you.” Her eyes widened in surprise. “After all your proclamations of desiring me, you refuse me now?” “I don’t feel I’ve a choice.” His face was written with pain. His grip on his self-control waning. “Have you some wine?” She asked thoughtfully. “I can get some from the kitchens.” “Then do so.” She whispered against his lips. He groaned low in his throat. “Woman, if this is a test, I’ll surely fail…” “It’s no test. But you must hurry, before I change my mind.” She purred. Warm breath brushing his face and the scent of wildflowers filling his senses. “We cannot do this, I’m not sober.” He objected. What the hell am I saying? Find the bloody wine!
The Taming Only That
Elsabet was the embodiment of sensuality and delight. Moving in his arms like something created from sexual pleasure. Everywhere he touched her elicited a new reaction. He already knew that no matter how much he gave her tonight, she’d wanted more. Her hunger was insatiable. He worked his mouth over her as he slid a finger into her. He cast out a tendril of warm magic from the tip of that finger. It wound a bit higher and then curled toward the front of her. Touching over places that made her back arch and her cry out. It’s the heat. He realized. So, he let the heat expand until it filled all the space within her. Then he stretched that magic. Putting pressure against her inside walls. She cried out in pleasure. Her body was beginning to sweat and her nipples hardening to blunted tips. He slid his finger in and out of her. Letting his magic mimic the movement. Touching every place within her before withdrawing. “I feel
The Taming TEASER
Reaching down, Elsabet yanked the pendant loose from his hands.Sebastian's torn shoulders and arms offered little resistance.It was as the sun was cresting the ridge that she released her grip on him. Watching him fall.For just a moment, she wished she could take it back. He was courageous. Admirable in his fearlessness.A shame.Even in his shredded shirt with gold hair tousled, he'd been wildly handsome.She watched his strange expression as he looked up at her, dropping limply in a deadfall toward the trees far below.Totally calm...He was...peaceful.Bafflement marked her face. Making him fight the smile pulling at his lips.He gave her a chiding look. Angry at her choice.Or perhaps disappointed. Elsabet started to turn in flight, reluctant to see his human body crushed in the trees.Turning back from the body of water, she headed back toward LandingTown.As she turned something scintillating caught her eye. She glanced down and watched flashes of vibrant gold erupting from whe
The Taming Look After Him
*****Note from the Author:This is a very slow burn book. Spanning many decades as it interweaves with other books such as King of the Seditious and The Barbarian's Pleasure (you don't have to read those to understand this one ).This is the story of Sebastian and his valkyrie.*****1580 - A Cottage in Inner Forestway, Mane Country"Sebastian" The woman breathed as she opened her cottage door and bid him enter. That husky seductive note already tingeing her voice.As she has countless times before."Moira." He greeted stomping off his boots before entering the sparse cottage."I've missed you." She cooed. Stroking the Ample tops of her small, pert breasts."I know.""My lover has returned from his estate. He's really quite possessive." She threw shining brown hair over her shoulder, proudly."I care not a whit for possessive lovers." He shrugged."Do you care for me?" She pounced on the opportunity to ask the question.Despite that she already knows.He leaned back his head, gold eye
The Taming No Healing From That
WaterRose, Meadow Mountain, Grier CountrySebastian woke slowly. Awash with pain.He saw a dark head lowered over him and met the gray eyes of his friend."Chavias." He greeted through a throat that felt stuffed with cotton.How'd I get here?"Your bloody luck is astounding! How you're alive escapes me." Chavias' gray eyes were wide."Me as well." Bast tried to sit but felt the cutting pain stabbing through his back and into his chest. "How am I alive?""I'm not sure this time. You healed. Did you manage that?""I don't recall attempting to heal myself.""Well, you should have. I would've."Bast laughed humorlessly."You must quit with all this recklessness. We all knew it was a matter of time before some woman's angry husband stuck you.""I'm glad you did.""You had to have guessed?" Chavias said sternly. His look incredulous."How'd you find me?""I didn't. The Captain was passing through Mane and caught a whiff of your blood.""Where was I?""Thrown into the underbrush.""Is Moira w
The Taming Not so Easy to Steal From
Bast had lifted his arm to spin his dance partner.Pleasantly oblivious at that moment.Elsabet caught the glint of a gold chain falling over his collar and dangling just beneath those laces. Stark against his tanned skin. The candlelight caught the shimmer of a gold ornament on the chain. Nestled against his defined chest. A serpent twining a thick cross.Her target.The one thing she needed for her to return home. To Sanctuary Island.Even now she was calculating his next step.Her plan was simple: She'd intercept him as he turned in step with the dance, she'd hook the pendant on her claw and let his movements tear it off him. Freeing it into her waiting hand.Already hanging open, his shirt would offer little resistance.Amulet in hand she'd exit the dance floor. Likely while he stood in surprise.Her detail in LandingTown settled. And free to return home.Elsabet watched him, nearly shaking with intensity. Anticipation heightening as he danced closer. She was already reaching, wai
The Taming A Terrifying Creature
She hissed. Her irises bled to ruby. Slamming her hands against the sides of the coach she screeched.Cracking her neck, she looked at him. Last warning.The coach rocked. Long brown wings snapped out from her body, one shattering the narrow coach window.The driver lunged off his seat. Hitting the ground and desperately crawling through the dirt to get as far from it as possible. Vanishing down the drive yelling in horror.Sebastian was unmoved by the woman's violent fury."Out!" The valkyrie shrieked in his mind.To any mortal, the sight of the Valkyrie with red eyes and brown wings spanning the coach, would've been an intimidating sight.Shredding her slippers, her feet became taloned claws embedding in the coach seat. She emanated predatory hunger.Cocking his head, he studied her new visage, fearless.That really should've been her first hint. He mused. Toying with the book in his hands.Her skin was as pale as when she'd been beautiful. However, hair pins clattered to the floor
