Crawling Into Bed With Victoria
Sue (Actually you won’t – I brought
Darric with me – I’m sure you’d prefer him, Lee. I’ll just go and stand and
perve in the corner)
*flabbergasted* Uh... Okay. Well, this is a surprising turn of events. *eyes Darric with interest* *clears throat* Important things first,
are these sheets silk or cotton?
Darric:
It doesn’t matter, because they won’t be covering us for very long, and once
you feel my hands on your skin and my warm breath on your face; you won’t be
aware of anything else.
*swallows hard* Uh... *eyes Victoria Sue* Um... I had another question... Where are my notes? Oh... yes. So, what are you wearing?
Darric:
“Close your eyes and give me your hands. There…skin? That’s what the best males
are wearing these days. Conner has all these clothes, but after all – clothes
are just a barrier, and I don’t want anything between us.”
Why do people keep thinking this interview is clothing optional? *Aside to Victoria Sue- How did you sneak a naked man in here? * What are we snacking on
in bed while we read tonight?
Darric:
(trails a finger down Lee’s face) “What are you hungry for?”
*pushes finger gently away* Actually, I'm on a diet, so... back on track. If I open this nightstand
drawer, what will I find?
Darric:
“Scented oils. I am very skilled with my hands, my mouth, my tongue…”
Oh really? Can you touch the tip of your nose with your tongue? My cousin used to do that. *coughs* Do you roll up in the
blankets like a burrito, or kick the covers off during the night?
Darric:
“I go to bed with three men. Covers are never necessary, we keep each other
warm.”
Somehow, I think you warm things up everywhere you go. Can I put my cold feet on
your calves to warm them up?
“Let
me use the oil on them, they won’t be cold for long. I am used to warming
things with my hands.”
Oh will you look at that? I brought my wool socks. Thanks for the offer, but... *dons socks quickly* What are we reading?
Eternal Circle, Sirius’
Wolves #3
How can you repair
something that should have been unbreakable? Darric, Blaze and Conner had been
together for centuries, and their bond, like their love, should have been
eternal. Blaze is trying not only to hold his family together, but stop himself
falling apart.
The fragile relationship between
the werewolves and the humans is at risk once more, and the goddess Sirius
seems to have deserted them. Inexplicable changes are taking place to their
little omega, and whilst Aden’s powers are increasing, Conner seems to be
losing his.
The terrorist group, The
Winter Circle, is getting bolder and placing everyone in danger. Worse, there
is a traitor among them, perhaps someone a lot closer than they want to admit. Just
when Blaze thought the worst that could have happened is behind them, the
traitor is revealed, and Blaze realizes that their circle is not only broken, but
in danger of being irreparably torn apart.
Excerpt:
According to legend the
goddess Sirius gifted humankind with powerful werewolf shifters, to bring
balance and peace to the planet that both species called home – Earth.
The great god Orion was
pleased with his wife’s final efforts, and the werewolves he allowed to be
created showed such equal amounts of strength and compassion that humans were
awed and showed their gratitude by adding a full five feast days to their
calendar to commemorate them. The days were named after the five oldest gods:
Osiris, Heru, Set, Isis, and Nephthys.
But one god was jealous.
Anubis had worked tirelessly for years weighing the hearts of the dead for
their goodness, and granting the dead passage into heaven or escorting them to
hell. He was incensed that the ungrateful humans didn’t show him proper homage,
and decided to sabotage the plans that Sirius had made.
He couldn’t stop Sirius’
creation but decided that some of the wolves would be given the gifts that the
dead laid at Anubis’ feet, as a way for them to barter their fate. These were
special attributes, the ones that enabled humans to navigate their way to hell,
and the ones that wolves weren’t naturally born with.
Anubis sat back after his
efforts and smiled. For every wolf and human born with strength and compassion,
there would be one born with hate, greed, and jealousy. Some strong, some weak.
Mostly the gifts of strength and compassion would win, but every so often a
wolf would find hate, and greed, and grow strong and powerful with it. Anubis
had cunning and had to do this out of sight of Orion. The great god just had
his wife, Sirius, returned to him, and Anubis could not do anything that would
risk his wrath. No, he had to work stealthily, as if Sirius’ creation had gone
bad all on its own and he had no hand in it. Anubis watched as the gods all
agreed there could be no more interference in human lives and he smiled. His
own creations would bring down the werewolves and they would infect others.
Anubis had patience and could wait for those days, for they would be glorious.
