This week’s theme is “Fight” and I had a hard time choosing an excerpt. Some of my favorite characters like to fight. LOL Anyway, I chose this excerpt because I’m working on editing this story right now. It’s from TRANSPLANT, the sequel to ABDUCTION, which was my first sci-fi story. The two are short stories, that were published by Amber Quill Press back in 2005 and 2006. For a short while I had them out as free reads, but I’ve decided hey, why not use them to do another Kindle experiment.
The 2 stories will be packaged together, with an awesome cover that I’ll unveil next week, and then I’ll get the stories formatted and hopefully published shortly.
That said, I hope this opening scene from TRANSPLANT intrigues you enough to want to pick up the Mavericks Of Space anthology.
Breathing hard, adrenaline flowing, and heart pounding, Max Cooper eyed the incensed alien in front of him. Her petite height and delicate features might fool some people into underestimating her, but not him. He saw the controlled tightness of her lean muscles as she slowly circled him; her eyes darkening and her skin glowing almost silver and he knew she was preparing to spring at him.
At least she wasn’t wearing her usual assortment of weapons.
Then again, the weapons never distracted him as much as the perky breasts and ripe nipples that were on display right now. The second he glanced at them again, he knew he’d made a mistake. Before he could blink, she was on him. Literally.
Firm thighs wrapped around his waist and damp heat rubbed against his belly. He caught hold of her tiny waist and stumbled. Turning, he stepped forward and pinned her to the inner wall of the spaceship, his body instantly going from fight mode to fuck mode.
“Mine, Max,” she growled. “You are mine, and I am not willing to share.”
“Yet you expect me to share you. It doesn’t work like that, Tyla.” Gripping her ass cheeks, he hefted her higher and pressed his forehead against hers as he fought for control. “If you want me to share you with other transplants, you have to accept that other Tritons will want me, and I have no reason to say no to them.”
“You have the right to say no to anyone!”
“But if you’re having sex with others, why shouldn’t I?” He tangled one hand in the dark curtain of her hair and tugged back her head so he could meet her gaze.
Her bright green eyes flashed with fire, full of turmoil and passion.
“But I am Triton! I am used to sexual freedom!” Her thighs tightened around his waist, pulling him so close that the only thing keeping him from entering her was the flimsy material of his drawstring pants.
“So what?” The strength of his emotions surprised Max. “I’m human, and I agreed to stay on board this ship, and be transplanted on a whole different planet—for you!”
The flare of jealousy when he’d seen one of the other transplants put his hands on Tyla had been like a knife to the heart. It hadn’t mattered that it had been a Durian and he knew she had absolutely no interest in sex with one. All that had mattered was another man had put his hand on her, and instead of cutting it off at the wrist like she should have, she’d just smiled.
He’d never been a possessive man before. Then again, he’d never been in love before.
Unable to handle the new emotions rumbling around in his gut, he’d done what any normal guy would do. He’d ignored them, and tried to distract himself by flirting with the nearest female. Most normal guys, however, wouldn’t find themselves instantly transported to the captain’s quarters of a spaceship to face off with a naked and angry alien, Captain Tyla Natori.
His abductor.
His sponsor.
The woman he’d agreed to give up life on Earth for.
