Every
mining outpost needs a sheriff, and Eidan Cozad is just the Eleoni for
the job. Newly arrived on planet with his deputy sister in tow, he faces
corruption, hostility, and nearly continuous rain. A chance encounter
with a defiant human postal worker adds yet one more complication to his
mission.
Neat
and tidy Teah Ruida thought when the Eleoni arrived and enforced some
law and order, it would be easier for her to deliver her packages.
Instead, she’s somehow become embroiled in spat after spat with the
handsome and assertive Sheriff himself. Even though she doesn’t want to
think about it, she’s become madly curious if the rumor about the
strange markings Eleoni hide under their clothes is true.
Tension
between Eidan and Teah ignites into passion that defies the barriers
between their races. When there’s a violent ambush initiated by the
settlement’s criminal organization, the future of their love hangs in
the balance.
Purchase BEYOND LOVE:
Excerpt:
Eidan had been enjoying
himself immensely. Watching Teah’s outrage grow as her eyes sparkled and her
cheeks flushed, had made him forget all about the bruises forming on his torso
and the chill rain surrounding them with grim humidity. He hadn’t teased a
pretty woman in far too long.
He’d taken advantage of
her distraction and moved close to her, his body urging him to stay near, be as
tactile as possible because everywhere he touched made him want more. She
didn’t seem to be searching for an escape as she had upon their earlier
acquaintance, but that might be because she was so aggravated. She frowned, and
he braced himself for a snappy comeback or perhaps even a push to move him out
of her orbit. Instead, she reached out a hand and grasped his shoulder all
while she rose up on her toes and pressed her mouth to his.
Shocked at her actions,
he failed to react for a few beats. Such tender lips, so sweet. The unexpected
caress had him reeling, so when she drew back, still frowning, he took only a
moment to decide return the gesture, and he wouldn’t be nearly so chaste about
it.
“See, I can be—”
He stopped her protest
with a kiss of his own, circling one of his hands around the back of her head
as he allowed the other to drop to her waist as he took over. With only a few
nudging encouragements, she’d opened her mouth to him, allowing him to taste
her, tease with his tongue in a new way as she quivered in his grasp. With a
pent-up little moan she leaned against him, her breasts firmly pressed to his
chest. His cock, which had been on alert since he’d first touched Teah, now
sprang to near-painful attention.
Teah kissed him back,
her little nips and licks the only encouragement he needed to lift her up and
press her against the wall of the building sheltering them. He grabbed at her
thighs and pulled them around his waist even as he ground his hips into her, his
thickened cock sliding along the plump flesh between her legs. All the residual
adrenaline from the fight ignited in his veins as he allowed sexual energy
build between them. He wished he’d removed his damned gloves so he could
finally grasp some of her curves.
She made a soft sound
deep in her throat and clutched harder at his shoulders, her tongue teasing his
then retreating to the safety of her mouth. He followed with a foray of his own
and her whole body softened against his as he thrust his tongue inside her. A
sudden flash of awareness filled him: Teah would melt against him when he
penetrated her. She was incredibly responsive and he was certain when they
finally had intercourse, it would be a fulfilling encounter. The way she
suddenly clamped her thighs around him and rocked her pussy against the ridge
of his cock only confirmed it.
The sudden chirrup of
his alarm startled him, and he pulled away from Teah’s succulent lips, the need
to return to duty overriding arousal in a painful snap. Teah’s head fell back
and she blinked groggily as he answered his comm link summons. An emergency
required as much of his attention he could provide even though he was in the
middle of foreplay.
“Hey, Eidan! How’d the
fight go?” His sister’s voice rang out in a cheerful query, and he winced. No
emergency, just inopportune curiosity.
“I won.”
At his brief answer,
Teah focused on him, then glanced down their tightly entwined bodies. A deeper
blush rose up her cheeks, and she pressed at his forearms and wriggled her legs.
Her movements were quite stimulating—everything about her was stimulating in
fact, but it was clear she was trying to escape him yet again. In response, he
tightened his grip on her full buttocks and she let out a tiny squeal.
“What was that? Are you
still at the location? Do you need me to escort you out?”
“No.” He included Teah
in that denial. She was staying exactly where she was. The woman in his arms
sucked in a breath and pushed at his chest. He flinched because she happened to
compress a new bruise and he almost lost his grip on her. She took advantage of
his divided attention and kicked her legs. His cock appreciated the rhythmic
motion.
“Let me down,” she
whispered with a scowl.
“Who was that?” Brida
asked quickly. No longer willing to put up with eavesdropping, Eidan
reluctantly removed one of his hands from the lush curve of Teah’s ass and hit
private link on the comm. Now his sister wouldn’t be able to hear anything but
his voice. As soon as he let go of her, Teah struggled in earnest and with an
agile twist she was free, ducking under his arm as he reached for her.
“Was there anything
else?” he asked as he followed Teah along the walk. She picked up the pace, and
he allowed himself the luxury of watching her hips sway.
“Not really. Just
checking in to make sure my little brother hadn’t gotten his skull cracked open
by some smelly human savage.”
At these words, Teah
spun around suddenly, a thunderous frown on her face. “Smelly human savage?”
“You’re not a savage,”
Eidan tried to reassure her, though the idea of Teah sinking her teeth into him
as they engaged in a naked tussle definitely brought out the primal in him.
“Who’s a savage?” Brida
asked.
“No one’s a savage.” He
nearly shouted it, frustrated that Teah wasn’t touching him and that his sister
had used such a derogatory term so openly. Yes, they had joked about how
primitive human society seemed, but it wouldn’t do to entertain even
superficial judgments now that they were here among their new constituents.
“Brida, I’m signing off.”
With a jerk of his
hands he shut off the link and faced his peeved human.
“Don’t even think it.”
Teah warned him off with a raised hand. She shuffled backward and eyed him like
he was armed and dangerous.
“You don’t know what
I’m thinking.” Eidan knew it was a lie, the bulge in his trousers clearly
advertising what he was after.
