Charles gazed into the fire as he stroked the soft skin of the foal that was resting at his side. Occasionally he glanced down at the small creature. Across the fire, Kat was curled up with a blanket and in a deep slumber. The shadows under her eyes told their own story. She had fought quite the battle as she helped the zephti make it's entrance into the wor...
Arianna had been thinking all day about him. She was really distracted at work. The man she had met online was tall and handsome. She had chatted with him a few times and it was going beyond small flirts now. When she got home she was tired and almost worked into a frenzy. The thoughts and fantasies were spinning through her head. She had tried to dismiss th...
Katrina scribbled some more notes on the clipboard that she was carrying. She had just seen another Areserican that had chicken pox. She didn't understand why the ailment was spreading so quickly. On Earth it had a two-week incubation period, but here it was merely hours after a person had contact with an infected person before they began to show the symptom...
Kat sat down in the chair next to Charlie and waited for the meeting to begin. She was becoming accustomed to being at his side for the endless meetings. This meeting was to discuss the newest outbreak of the chicken pox. She wished she had more answers to give the Tribunal. Stephan called the meeting to order before turning to her. "Your Highness, could y...
It's been a week since the 'incident' occurred. Shane showed no inclination that he knew something went on in Shaunny's room that afternoon. Shaunny felt fidgety towards Shane that evening and went on avoiding him all week. She was pretty embarrassed that she moaned so loudly that afternoon with such total abandonment. And when she knew that she couldn't hid...
Vol. 5: A Duchess for the Duke My foul mood continued on the voyage home from Jarno (Prince Bonir Vol. 4: The Defense of the Realm). I had delivered on my promise to my cousin King Edelbert (the third) to defend the realm from the Vikings, but at what cost? In the spring, the King of Norway would come to Averic with his three daughters, from which I would c...
The sound of someone knocking brought Dave out of his thoughts. With trepidation he slowly walked over to answer it. He was afraid it might be her coming back. He knew he couldn't handle it if she did. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sarah through the peephole. "I'm so glad to see you," he said as he opened the door. "Why Dave, that's the nicest g...
Please leave comments for me. Thank you! (Diolch.) ***** As Arianna helped Arkyll and Hanya to break their fast, she looked up again at the kitchen doorway, her smooth pale forehead creased by a frown. She had seen Clair's door was open as she fetched the children but when they came down to the kitchens he was not there. She had wanted particularly to ask...
The long awaited bonding ceremony has finally arrived! It was a long time coming as far as the writer is concerned. But I finally finished it. I still have one final chapter to write to tie up some loose ends. Thanks to all that have followed this series. As usual my characters ran off with the story once more. I was expecting this to be as long as Magic T...
I pulled up at my house and got the groceries for dinner out of the car. I carried them into the house and got to work putting them away. I never buy more than a couple of days worth of groceries at one time because they just won't fit properly into my car. I had just started cooking some smoked sausage and ham to put in a pot of red beans and rice when I h...
