When life deals a wild card, play it no
matter the cost.
Since the day Rey’s defiance earned her a
blinding blow to the head, fear has hovered as close as the guide dog that
clings to her side. But the terror that grips her now is almost beyond
description.
Like her sister before her, Rey has been
sold to satisfy the lusts of one of the alien Beasts that now rule the Earth.
If the towering, leather-clad Alpha discovers his prize can’t see, he could
kill her with a flick of his claw. Or worse, send her home—where the only mercy
she’ll get is a bullet.
From the moment the Alpha Beast spotted
Rey smiling tenderly at her flowers, his desire to own her, body and soul,
roared louder than his bike’s throaty engine. But the only smiles his new pair
aims his way are forced—and oddly off target. She is liquid heat in his arms,
yet ignores the notes and gifts he leaves for her.
If he can’t win her over, he can’t trust
her with his own truth. And the combined weight of their secrets could destroy
everything.
Excerpt:
The Alpha Beast grunted.
A large hand framed one side of my face, and his mouth slammed down on mine,
his tongue demanding entrance. Whistling and hooting followed his assault—he
considered it a kiss, I was sure. His hand wound around my hair, and I could do
nothing but let him invade. I pretended it was a romantic wedding kiss, a press
of lips, subtle and gentle for the sake of an audience, but the Alpha clearly
didn’t know what gentle meant. My back nearly snapped when he leaned forward
and I leaned back. He deepened the kiss. For a second, I thought, he might
swallow me whole. When his tongue swirled with mine and a low growl rumbled in
the back of his throat, I stopped thinking altogether.
The Alpha Beast tasted
fresh, a hint of mint and lemon on his expert tongue, not a trace of stale beer
or someone else’s night-before lipstick. Growing up with a community whore had
thought me to appreciate the small things and rejoice in those small things
even at the most terrifying moments. I didn’t know what would happen to me with
this man, but at least he didn’t taste bad on my sensitive palate.
After a minute, his
kissing slowed and his tongue stopped moving. Not knowing what else to do, I
stroked it with mine. With the tip of my tongue, I flicked his. The Alpha Beast
groaned into my mouth and pressed me closer. He was so hard, I thought he might
burst out of his pants and take me right over his bike. He could do what he
wanted with me. I was his pair.
His lips left mine. My
mouth still gaped, and my lips tingled from rubbing on his stubble. I’d never
been taken like this before. The Alpha Beast chuckled, probably at my gaping
mouth, and his rough, two-day-unshaven cheek brushed my soft one as his sharp
teeth nibbled my ear. He whispered, “Your uncle swore to me you are a virgin.
Swore up and down nobody’s spoiled you, and charged me an arm and a leg for
your virginal pussy. Let’s be clear in case you aren’t. Tell me now so I don’t
gotta drive back to collect his arm and a leg.”
I wasn’t a virgin, but
I’d protected myself from abuse. In fact, I was so good at protecting myself
that I traded rape trauma for a life of blindness. A trade no woman should have
to make. I swiped away those memories and focused on the now.
The silence in the yard
never sounded louder. I estimated that between his beasts and the community’s
humans, about three hundred people watched and listened. Even Dark had stopped
barking. “Can we talk about this later?” I whispered.
“No. Answer me.”
My body was still bent
back, and he appeared a dark mass against the lit sky. I gripped the back of
his head and tried to pull him down so I could whisper in his ear. I tugged, but
he didn’t budge. Okay, then. “Maybe,” I said.
“Twenty says there be
bloody sheets!” someone shouted.
I would’ve liked to keep
our business private.
The Alpha Beast
straightened, and three hard thumps sounded. He might’ve thumped his chest, but
I wasn’t sure. It sounded suspiciously like something a gorilla did. He picked
me up and plopped my ass on the back of his bike. The way he manhandled me
suited me fine. He could move me from one place to the next all he wanted.
Next, he removed my sunglasses and paused.
