We’re traveling into the territory of I don’t care. Let’s not take that trip, hmm?”Arrogant. Mean. Still gorgeous.
He waited at her side, staring… hovering. She had the distinct impression this man wasn’t used to being disobeyed. My, but he was an irritating sea captain.
Make it stop,” Vincent murmured, coming out of sleep and pulling the blanket over his head. “I think your mutt is howling for you.
Come here, female!” a thundering voice called out to Sorvus. A thrill of excitement at this male’s voice instantly shot up her spine. It is him, she thought. It is my Destoul.
Wharick is the king. I know you already knew that. And by the way, Exian’s head in a bag? Gross gift for a king, just sayin’. (Breccan)
I don’t need to come closer to kill you, but I will come closer to watch you bleed. (Darius)
Oh, sweetheart, I am the worst male your precious gods could have chosen for you.” The expression on his face turned deadly serious. He leaned his face forward and down to get eye level with her. “I will mate no one. Ever. (Darius)
They’d seen her laugh before he did, had seen her live before he had. The thought of it provoked envy inside of Wharick, and that emotion at times, could be just as powerful as jealousy.”-Madison Thorne Grey, Sustenance
Me? With only one woman forever and ever, blah, blah, blah. I don’t think so, brother. I am having too much fun with all the ladies in Johobin.”-Madison Thorne Grey, Sustenance (Breccan)
Your reaction makes me deliciously curious. Will you be kept awake tonight wondering if I knew it was you? Imagining yourself under me?”-Madison Thorne Grey, Sustenance
The tale of love and power was a continuum, much like the white carousel just outside of Acronis’s hall. It turned around and around. Acronis was tired of the spin.”-Madison Thorne Grey, Sustenance
He put his wrists out in front, and as he spoke the words engraved on them, he turned his arms around slowly. “Dum spiramus tuebimur, which in English reads: while we breath, we shall defend,” he told her.
He quickly left the room, and when he shut the door behind him he leaned his back against it, tilted his head back, and put his palms to his eyes before bowing his head. “….That was too close,” he murmured under his breath..
Are you telling me, or are you asking me?” Kathel said sarcastically.”Depends on your answer,” Wharickreplied. “Yes, Gwardian. It would be my honor to be your second.” “Then I was telling you,” Wharick told him.
I may have been born into this world to be the Gwardian, but I was created for you, for us. You are the reason I exist, the reason I breathe. You are the light to my darkness, and without you I am lost forever.
We all have scars, Wharick. Mine happen to be on the the outside,” Kathel answered but knew what he said wasn’t entirely true. He bore scars on the inside as well.
He didn’t need a curse to realize the desire of his heart was to fight the Horfins of this land, the Kravens, and the darkness that had swayed his brothers toward evil. He would continue to fight, continue to lead. Curse or no curse.
I’ll thank you now, Kathel,” Keirah whispered. Placing a simple, soft kiss on Kathel’s lips, she turned and walked away toward her cabin, leaving both men stunned in her wake.
Their eyes drifted directly behind her. At the same time she felt the presence of a rather large, imposing figure, then the sudden heat permeated the air around her. He’s behind me, isn’t he?
Even though he knew both of their hearts were taken by others, he recognized beauty when he saw it and appreciated it as any male would.
You know you really have to beware of gypsies in these parts,” he said teasingly, dismounting from his horse…Keirah gave him a small smile that she didn’t quite feel. “Good thing I have the Gwarda here to protect me,” she teased back.
He was the most wickedly handsome creature she had ever seen in all her days. His hair was black as night, his stature large, his muscles were etched with precision into his smooth skin, every last ripple chiseled into wicked perfection.
One day, when you are sitting with my sister, Mahgen, around a fire, and you’re feeling how perfectly right it is to be next to her, this moment, this tease of desire between us, will be long forgotten.
If he sees you unclothed, I will have to kill him,” he spoke in her ear. She didn’t know if she should believe him or not, but she took no chances. “Tell him to leave, then,” she said calmly but sternly.
A slow, knowing smile came over Keirah’s face. Her heart filled with happiness, believing the Gwarda gypsy sitting next to her at this very moment was worthy of her beloved sister.
Kathel did not back down at all. “Well, Keirah told me she was suddenly unattached, if you know what I mean. And I figured, what the hell, why not have a go at her myself,” Kathel said enthusiastically.
Even among the ugliness of evil that resonated throughout the green hills and flowering landscape, Northbrook was simply breathtaking to those who took the time to appreciate it.
I’m pleased to know you realize she is mine, gypsy. Care to explain why it is that I find you here in the Gwarda arena and touching what belongs to me?
You’re causing the world to spin again, Keirah,” Wharick teased about her druid gift with nature. “You out of control? Do you need something to settle you down? he asked.
Kathel smoothed out his shirt in an exaggerated manner. “It was the least I could do. I owed her one,” he said referring to when Keirah saved Willow. He looked at Keirah and winked. Yeah, so not the thing to do right now, Keirah thought.
You may run from the calling, but, you will find no real peace until you fulfill your destiny.
Truth was she liked that he came after her. She liked the thought of being under submission to him in an intimate way. It was a welcome desire which Wharick alone sparked.
I do not belong to anyone! Certainly not to a self-centered, brute of man, err…being or whatever it is you are, person!” she fumbled.
Darius did not take the bait, showing no signs of anger or irritation. “So, what you’re saying is that you ugly f@*ks are not half breeds and that makes you superior? Please, do wow me with your druid sorcery.
Oh, don’t look at this frail, old druid like that, Solomon. I may be slow in my movements, buy my mind is sharp as a dagger’s tip.” Lazerin smirked.
You will answer this day for your treason.” Then he added solemnly, “You break my heart, brother.” Before Eyramus could blink Thristan was gone.
Had Keirah and her sisters known what was set in motion the day their stones appeared and how personally they would be affected by it, they would have still fought the darkness, still battled for what belonged to them.
The new race of warriors would be their hope, their salvation, their loves’ destiny. But they too could be tainted. They too could be seduced by the black forces they had been created to fight against.
His shoulder-length hair was a rich, dark-brown color with a slight wave to it and it flowed behind him as he ran into the center of the gypsies. He was tall, muscular, and so beautifully handsome, yet primal. He looked magnificent.
Bitterness filled his heart, and he learned to love the feel of its magic.(Darius)
It’s not the having of the gift that makes the difference in life here or in another place. It’s how we use that gift that shows the true heart. ~ Acronis
She looked up into Wharick’s ethereal face, her eyes drifting across his features. Close your mouth, Keirah. Her brain finally caught up with her face’s reaction.
Dammnnn,” Breccan slowly spoke each letter with a grin on his face that spread from ear to ear. “Impressive flames, guy.
Thristan looked at her with a bewildered look on his face. “You think to bind me as the new race will be bound?” he asked solemnly. Sorvus smiled. “I do not think to bind you, my friend; I think to free you.
We are immortal beings, Thristan. You cannot hate me throughout all eternity.
Your fiery spirit excites me, Keirah, like nothing I have ever felt before. Yet I have the overwhelming desire to put you over my knee when you don’t do as you are told.
He was determined to stick with his plan, convincing himself to stay neutral and detached. That’s the plan!Then she leaned over him.
There was no mistaking what the feeling of fullness in his heart meant. They were mates and were bound together. Forever. Wharick’s green eyes closed for a moment as he absorbed the feeling of completeness their bond provided his spirit.
Oh, now look what you’ve done. You’ve gone and pissed him off,” Breccan said as he stood behind two of the gypsies, one of his large hands clamped down on each of their shoulders.
Breccan stood for a second, deep in thought of what Darius had just described. “Dude, seriously, you gotta get a hobby. Oh, and anyone else want their mothers right now? Cause, damn, that was some scary shit,” he added.
So, Gwardian, are you going to stand there, or may I have some privacy so I can bathe? We aren’t all as full of ourselves as you are.
Ummm, anyone else getting the creeps? Breccan asked. “Okay, let’s vote. Who here is in favor of daylight? Come on, show of hands. Don’t be shy.
If measuring by this earthly realm’s time then it’s been years but in the unseen realm above known as Vehaven, it has been but a moment.
