Crawling
Into Bed With Tsvetok Yerokhin and Casey Scott
And
a Good Book: Scent of the Heart
Important
things first, are these sheets silk or cotton?
Sev: We don’t have either
here, though Casey has told me he’d like to see me spread out on some blue silk
sheets. He said they would make my—
Casey: Uh, they’d make
his eyes shine.
What
are you wearing?
Sev: Mrs. Melenda crafted
this for me. She harvested the materials herself. It’s very comfortable,
especially when it gets warm outside the enclave.
Casey: I had a nice
shirt, until someone thought it would
be okay to mark me.
Sev: Um… I still have that
shirt, you know.
Casey :
Really?
:nod: It smells of us,
and I like it.
Casey: After we finish up
here, can we go back to the house and you can show me?
Sev: I think I’d like
that.
What
are we snacking on in bed while we read tonight?
Sev: I harvested some
roots from the forest. But these are for Casey, I had some grubs while I was
digging them up.
Casey : I don’t think I’ll be eating any roots tonight. Whenever he
talks about grubs, I lose my appetite.
If
I open this nightstand drawer, what will I find?
Casey: Some oil I made.
It’s very slick, but washes out quickly in water. We use it to…. Uh… oil the
hinges on the doors.
Do
you roll up in the blankets like a burrito, or kick the covers off during the
night?
Casey: Have you ever
slept with a shifter? They’re a good ten degrees warmer than humans, so no
covers are needed. You simply snuggle up next to them and you’re as toasty as
can be.
Can
I put my cold feet on your calves to warm them up?
Sev: Would you like me to
show you why you never upset a skunk?

Casey Scott grew
up being told he’d never amount to anything, and despite the unwavering
love and support
from his best friend, Jake, the idea sticks in the back of Casey’s mind. When
he
discovers he has a
unique destiny in an enclave where shifters and humans live together, he
seizes the chance,
wanting for once in his life to be someone special.
Tsvetok Yerokhin
lost his parents to the evil ruler of the enclave when he was a boy. The
responsibilities
of raising his two younger brothers nearly overwhelmed him and self-doubt
took over. When
the new Alpha and his Protector arrive in time to save his life, Sev is
grateful,
but he’s even more
shocked when he scents his mate with them.
Casey isn’t
prepared for the feelings that sweep over him when he meets Sev, but he refuses
to
act on them
because he’s straight. Still, there is something so alluring about Sev that
Casey can’t
help being drawn
to him.
As the two explore
the edges of their new discovery, an evil returns, determined to control the
enclave or destroy
it. The Alpha and Protector are powerless to stop it, but Casey holds the key
to victory. If he
can discover what it is, he has a chance to save them all. To be the hero.
Unfortunately, the
hero has to be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, and for Casey that
means losing his
heart.

Excerpt:
“This
night is shot,” Casey mumbled. “Hakii, if you’re there, I’m sorry. I need to
find him. I’ll try to be back as soon as I can. Oh, and if you’re not there, I
hope you’re getting a damn good laugh at me talking to myself.”
The
night air had chilled considerably. Casey threw on a sweater and hurried to the
Alpha’s house. Before he could pound on the door, it swung open. Jake stood
there wearing nothing at all.
“Oh
god, my eyes.”
Jake
sighed. “You’ve seen me before. A lot, if I recall correctly.”
“And
every time I do, I remember that I need to create eye bleach.”
Jake
faked a laugh. “Yeah, you’re hilarious. What do you want?”
“A
guy came to my house tonight. His name is Sev, and I think he’s in trouble.”
All
humor fled from Jake’s face. “What happened?”
Casey
told him about the visit. “He…called me his mate. What the hell is that about?”
“Later.
We’ve got to find him.”
In
an instant, Jake transformed into a beautiful black jaguar. Zak came rushing to
the door. “What is wrong?”
Before
Casey could answer, Zak grabbed a heavy coat and squirmed into it. “Jake will
track him. You will come with us.”
“Zak,
he called me his mate. Why would he do that?”
“You
worry about this now? I do not see where this matters. If you prefer, you may
stay behind.”
Casey
sobered immediately. “No, you’re right. I’m sorry.”
They
tracked Jake as he hurried to the woods. When they heard him roar, Zak and
Casey ran to the edge of the forest. Jake had transformed back to his human
form and, man, was he pissed.
“Come
out here, now,” he demanded.
There
was no movement, but Casey heard a clicking noise, followed by the familiar
stamping of feet.
“You
spray me and I swear to the gods I will neuter you. Put your damn tail down and
face us as a man, Sev.”
