New Release: Breakfast in Bed by Missy Jane

 

Breakfast in Bed

Lizbeth has set a challenge for herself—get down to her ideal weight by her fortieth birthday and then do something out of her comfort zone. Posing nude for a college art class is definitely out of her comfort zone, and the hot gaze of a young man in the front row has her confidence rising with every swipe of his brush on canvas.

In the twelve years since puberty hit, Emanuel has never had such a hard time hiding an erection. The final project in his senior art class is the worst place for it to happen, but with the woman laid out before him like a goddess it’s inevitable. And she is a goddess. Older than him by at least ten years, she wears her maturity like the finest jewels, enticing him more than any woman has in a long time.

A chance meeting puts Lizbeth in Emmanuel’s path, but then tragedy keeps her by his side. As they spend more time together and grow closer, she must decide if committing to a man nearly half her age is what she wants. Emmanuel is all in, or is he? Could it just be circumstances causing the intense feelings to rise so fast, or is it truly love?

Content warning: death of a family member.

Missy Jane's Novellas Have Been Re-released!

 

Way back in 2014 I had four loosely linked novellas released through Ellora's Cave publishing. Then EC closed it's doors and the rights reverted back to me. I've been ignoring those books for the most part but finally decided to take a look at them again a few weeks ago. After some light re-editing to update things like my characters not using cell phones or Google maps, I'm releasing them back into the world. 

All four books will be available as individual ebooks tomorrow through Draft to Digital (currently available for preorder) and the two print books (two novellas each) are already available for order from Barnes and Noble Press.

I have included content warnings this time, as all four books mention domestic abuse and past trauma, one also includes a short fight scene, but none of the books are graphically violent. 

This was also my very first venture in creating the covers completely by myself for both ebook and print, so if the formatting is a little wonky please ignore it. I love my cover artists and plan to keep using them, but the cost for these re-releases is prohibitive. 

Also, please note that I will never knowingly use AI in either my writing or cover art. For these books I used Canva and chose their free photos that looked the most realistic to my inexpert eye.

4-Point Star

Erotic Sci-Fi Romance

Word Count: 52.9K

$3.99 e / $9.99 p

Being called to become part of a Gaspiel is an honor, a chance to serve in the war against the Fol’Minites and to protect the K’Stollians’ world. Four men are required to form the four-point star, each one controlling a different element of their warship—navigation, weapons, engine, and the captain. But the most important element and hardest to find is their fifth, their Visl—their strength.

When Ensign Sienna Pratt finds out she is called to be a Gaspiel, she sees it as an opportunity to learn about a system no one knows anything about, and she agrees. She knows the K’Stollian ships are different. They don’t run on fuel, have no material for weapons, they are completely bio-dispensing organisms. Basically, the ships convert the endorphins released during sex into power to run their systems, and that’s where Sienna would come into play. Not knowing exactly what she’s signing up for, she’s willing to take the risk to help the people and the planet. But when it comes time to fulfill her obligations, can she give herself over?

The crew quickly learns that Sienna is not your average Visl, and she will not take things lying down. She is not merely there to service the men, she's determined to prove her worth. The war has been raging for centuries, but now it’s a battle for the K’Stollians’ existence. Someone is sabotaging them and wants to wipe out their entire species, but who? The Gaspiel know there is strength in numbers, but whom can they trust?

To make matters worse, rule number one is not to let your emotions become involved, but when it comes to the four males who've claimed her body, that quickly proves impossible.

Warning: Contains recharged batteries, two ports of entry, a two-year commitment, lumpy seats, miracle soothing cream,  unexpected food additives, a dead language, a plot to destroy an entire civilization, and a woman battling her heart for the love of four men--one especially.

THE PAST'S PROMISE
Erotic M/M Time Travel Romance
by Linda Mooney
Writing as Carolyn Gregg
Narrated by Guy Veryzer

She found the ultimate love of her life in another time...and as a man.

Jessie Wharton is a teacher in the twenty-first century. Or at least she was.

Taking her history class to visit the ruins of a historic fort in west Texas, the scorching heat turned her world upside down.

Suddenly, nothing was the way it was supposed to be. She was no longer Jessie Wharton. She was Jesse Webster. She wasn't a teacher. She was a private in the US Army stationed at Fort Callaghan, a completely functional outpost. And it was 1867.

Worse, she wasn't a she any longer. She was a man. A man who was finding himself falling in love with a fellow soldier named Martin Parrish.

Together, they discovered love in the scorching Texas heat, in a time when the merest breath of homosexuality was enough to have the accused whipped to death...if the native Indians didn't scalp them first.

They were deadly enemies, until a greater threat made them unwilling allies...and lovers.

Sherandar is the most cunning adversary Quazar has ever faced. He never knows when or where his worst nightmare will strike, but when she does, it's with the single-minded purpose to taunt him. Ridicule him. And to make his life a living hell. Regular cuffs and jail cells can't hold her, yet somehow, someway, Quazar has to bring her reign to a screeching halt.

But when a new enemy makes himself known, and tries to kill both Quazar and Sherandar, the two combatants realize the only way to defeat this deadly threat is to call a temporary truce and join forces.

It isn't until she lies broken, bloodied, and dying in his arms that Quazar realizes she has become more to him than his temporary ally. He has fallen in love with her.

Warning! Contains deadly necklaces, delectable desserts, a skintight costume, an antique stove, dining table sex, and a bored megalomaniac who has no qualms about killing because he just wants to watch the world burn.

Fresh out of the military, the last thing Brint Cirrus needs is trouble. Besides, he has a secret to protect. But when he parks his motorcycle at a Texas road-side bar and meets sexy Heleema, the lead singer of the country band, The Hairy-Legged Girls Club, it’s clear trouble looks mighty good. The feeling is definitely mutual.

Intent on consummating their mutual attraction, Brint and Heleema leave the bar, and a group of drunken men who had been harassing Heleema earlier follow them. The men ram their pick-up into the motorcycle, sending the bike and both riders into a bar ditch along the side of the road. When Brint comes to, he finds Heleema on the verge of being raped. Secret or no secret, he has to rescue her. But as he shape shifts into his dog persona, he sees Heleema shift into a coyote. Together they dispatch the attackers, killing one of them, then escape. But their enemies aren’t so easily deterred and they want revenge.

From the very beginning Brint and Heleema are drawn together in lust. Now they are drawn together in danger as shape shifters and as humans.  In Heleema, Brint has found a woman he can trust and love. In Brint, Heleema has found a man to satisfy her passion and her heart.

* * *

Heleema felt overwhelmed, surrounded by her family as they exclaimed over the news of her engagement to Brint. At one point, Ralasia fanned herself, pretending she was about to faint at the sight of the man standing inside the doorway.

            "I knew it, Hel. I knew something like this would happen the moment I saw you couldn't keep your eyes off the guy all during our gig last night. And all those songs you had us play, with all those suggestive lyrics, and the way you moved your hips... Damn, sis, you almost got me believing in love at first sight."

            "Not quite first sight, Rala, but close," Heleema admitted. She glanced over to see Brint lay his helmet on the side table by the back door, and realized she was still wearing his borrowed shirt from that morning.

            A hell of a lot had occurred in the past few hours.

            "Hey, Aunt Joslin? Do you mind if we use your washer and dryer?" she asked the woman entering from the kitchen with a tray of glasses. Varandon, her youngest brother, trailed behind their aunt with a bottle of blackberry wine they'd made last summer.

            "Go ahead. I think there's a load of sheets in the dryer, but you're welcome to it."

            Heleema looked over to where Brint had taken a seat at the end of the couch, like he had earlier that morning. She started to ask him if he'd go get their soiled clothing so she could throw them in the washer, when her cell phone beeped loudly. Its final warning that it was about to die.

            Grabbing it from her back pocket, she turned abruptly. "'Scuse me a minute, y'all. I need to plug this in while I'm thinking about it."

            The bullet plowed through the window. It grazed Heleema's upper arm, hitting the rock fireplace and sending stone shards flying through the air like shrapnel. In the split-second between that shot and the second, Heleema realized that, had she not turned, the slug would have hit her.

            Her animal reflexes took over, as did those of her family, and everyone dove for the floor as a second and third round busted through the glass. One bullet hit the wood mantel; the other smashed the front of the flat screen TV.

            "Brint!" She couldn't see him with Ralasia hunched down in front of her, and she was too afraid to lift her head to see if he'd been hit.

            "Are you okay?" he called back.

            "Yeah."

            "Everyone hush." Her father's voice sliced through the tension, calming them almost immediately. "Anyone see where the shots came from? Brint?"

            "My back was to the window, but we can't stay here."

            "Why not? We've had to dodge stray bullets before."

            "I don't think these are stray bullets, sir," Brint said tersely.

            "What makes you think that?"

            "What does your gut tell you?"

            "If you think this is deliberate, how come they don't keep shooting?" Demios spoke up from the other side of the couch.

            Heleema bit her lip. He was right. After the first three shots, it seemed to be over. Feeling more assured, she started to rise when a shadow passed near the front windows. The outline of the rifle was unmistakable.

            "Brint!"

Missy Jane's New Release!

Whoohoo, I can finally share my exciting news!! I'm now a published Entangled author. Today's new release is the first in my new Archangel series, and these men are HOT. The first book is about Zerachiel, known as Zerach to his friends and employees.

Here's a taste:

As the owner of a string of successful nightclubs all over the world, Zerach can have any woman--except for his assistant Isadora O’Donnell. First off, Isadora isn't a one-night-stand kind of girl, and second, her dominating godparents don't approve of him. There's also the fact that he is an archangel with a mission to protect humans from demons, something Isadora can never find out about. 

Isadora secretly longs for Zerach’s attention but her scarred body and his playboy ways keep her from acting on her feelings. With her only family on the brink of bankruptcy, she’s determined to help them, even if it means trying to forget Zerach and marrying the womanizing Jake, a man she’ll never love. 

Zerach tries to keep Isadora at arm's length, but when a demon starts stalking her, Zerach will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves. But protecting her could cost him his wings. 

Want more? Read chapter one here.

I'm also celebrating this new release with two other Entangled authors releasing today. Join our Facebook party here.

A Sensuously Erotic Sci-Fi Romance Novel

Word Count: 54.9K

A hundred years ago, the last people of Earth landed on planet AR617b. It was their only hope after being forced to flee the dead planet that was once their ancestral home

The native inhabitants of AR617b, known as gerons are sentient creatures that resemble a cross between dragons and griffins of old Earth lore. When they initially tried to destroy the settlers, a deal was made to ensure both species' survival. It was decided that each year, every five-year-old human child must take The Walk across a hundred meter field. If they don't stop or run, they will arrive safely on the other side, and be allowed to grow up and have families of their own. But if they break the rule, the gerons will kill them. Unless, by a strange quirk of fate, a geron decides to Pair with the child, taking and raising the human as its own.

Emmala took The Walk, and found herself adopted by one of the older gerons, an immense silvery-white creature named Zonaton. For the next fifteen years, he cared for her, protected her, and loved her. But now Emmala's real family wants her back, and they will do everything they can to have her returned, even if it means killing Zonaton, and starting an all-out war with the gerons.

What neither the settlers nor gerons realize is that there is another alien species watching and waiting for the two combatants to go into battle. Because when they do, that will be the aliens’ cue to destroy everyone, and claim AR617b for their own.

Warning! Contains green fire, arrogant assholes, plunderberries, child abuse, rectangular spaceships, a near rape, shadows on the wall, and a love so great, it defies death.

Rick was about to give up and head home when a very sleepy-looking Annie finally opened her front door. She was adorably rumpled and had neglected to put her glasses on. Large green eyes blinked up at him in confusion and he couldn’t help but smile.

“Hey, beautiful, did I wake you?”

Her sweet mouth dropped open but nothing came out. He took the opportunity to lean forward and kiss her lips. She moaned into his mouth and he pulled her into his arms. A sense of peace settled over him and he knew that was what had been missing all week. He deepened the kiss until she melted against him.

The sound of a car passing had her jumping back. He released her reluctantly and glanced behind him. It was someone from farther down the road whom he didn’t know. The car didn’t even slow down.

“Rick. I wasn’t expecting you,” Annie said.

He appreciated the breathless quality of her voice. At least she seemed to be as affected by their kisses as he. He ran a hand over his face and gave a short nod. “I’m sorry I haven’t been by all week. I got busy with work unexpectedly.”

“Oh.”

“Can I come in?”

Confusion crossed her features for a second before clearing into a smile. “Yeah. My dad’s working late.”

“Perfect.”

She moved back and he stepped into the dim interior. Only the bright Texas sunlight breaking through the cracks in the blinds illuminated the living room. Somewhere down the hallway another light was on. He guessed it to be her bedroom.

She shut and locked the door once he was inside and he couldn’t keep from touching her. Luckily she didn’t protest when he pulled her against him again. He rubbed his lips against hers slowly before slipping his tongue into her mouth.

“Mmm, you taste so good,” he whispered.

“Y-you too.”

That made him smile and he pulled back to look down at her for a moment. “How late is your dad working?”

“Until six or seven. He wasn’t sure. Tammy’s working ’til seven for sure.”

“Good. That gives us plenty of time.”

“For what?”

Rather than answer, he took over her mouth again.

He wanted her in his bed. Or any bed really. But he knew that might be dangerous. She didn’t seem very experienced and he didn’t want to scare her away. Every reserve of patience might be tested by sweet Annie May, but he planned to take things slow and easy. The past week had been hell. Of all the times to be needed in the office every damn day, it had to be this week when he was aching to be with Annie. He’d gotten home late every night and her father had been home. Finally, today he had finished the project and hightailed it out of there early.

She melted against him and moaned as he suckled her lips. Her eager responses ratcheted up his arousal until he wasn’t certain he’d be able to pull away. Somehow he found the strength to stop kissing her long enough to make it to her room. She shut the door and he pressed her against it as he kissed her again. Her sweet flavor was addictive. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he dropped his hands onto her slender hips.

Luckily she wasn’t wearing her damn hoodie. He slipped his hands beneath her thin t-shirt and up her ribs until he encountered her bra. She shivered and pulled back, gasping in a much-needed breath.

“R-Rick…I’m not a virgin, but…”

“But?”

She sighed and leaned her head against his chest, hiding her expression. “I’ve only done this once before.”

Her softly spoken words left him both terrified and elated. He had guessed she was inexperienced, had almost hoped she was a virgin. The thought of another man touching her infuriated him, but at her age he had expected it. Knowing she had only been touched once helped…a little.

“That’s fine by me, baby. We can take things as slow as you need. All I want to do right now is make you feel good. I want to see you come apart in my arms.”

She shivered again and he took the opportunity to move her hair off her neck so he could taste her heated skin. She moved her head to the side and gave him better access. He slowly made his way down her throat to the top of her collar.

“Can I take your shirt off?” he asked.

Her short fingernails dug into his shoulders. “There’s not much to see.”

“Let me be the judge of that…please?”

Sorrow Knight knew that at any time the U'Nar would attack Earth, but he needed a few more days to come out of chrystasis before he could fight the deadly enemy. With his soul sword, Rall, he and the handful of other Surge Knights would gather wherever the enemy landed, and drive them off this world. A world with so many wonderful sights and surprises. A world that contained a woman named Rachel, who had captured his heart and his imagination, but who was forbidden to him by his laws.

Rachel Grohl often wondered about the skinny, dishwater-blond young man living in the apartment across the breezeway from her. His shyness, as well as his clean but well-worn clothes, tugged at her heart. They'd barely spoken a dozen words to each other since he moved in a few weeks ago, but she had to thank him for helping her the other day. Maybe asking him over to dinner would work.

They shared one dinner, one touch, and one kiss that led to one night of love. A love which could ultimately avert the total eradication of the human race.

Warning: Contains tiny men skirts, lasagna, human metamorphosis, glass table tops, IOUs, comrades-in-arms, bomb shelters, and an invading alien force that will haunt everyone's nightmares.

An Excerpt From: HEATHER’S REDEMPTION

Copyright © MISSY JANE, 2013

All Rights Reserved, Ellora's Cave Publishing, Inc.

“You shouldn’t be touching me, Zach. Neither of us can afford to be involved with the other and you know it.”

For the barest fraction of a second his heart stopped and the certainty that she knew all his secrets filled him. He quickly pushed that thought away and gave her an innocent grin.

“Sweetheart, I’d be happy to tender my resignation right now if it means I can kiss you again.”

The scariest thing was he meant every damn word. Somehow in the past three weeks she had become more important to him than the job, more important than his professional reputation. And that seriously scared the hell out of him. But she shook her head and moisture pooled in her eyes.

“You know I can’t allow that. I can’t get involved with another employee, especially if it means we’ll lose you. I just can’t.”

He cupped the side of her face with one hand just as a tear slid down her cheek. He wiped it away with his thumb.

“I know this isn’t ideal for either of us. I just can’t seem to stop touching you. But I respect you and your boundaries, especially because I understand why they’re in place. Can I just kiss you again one more time? Please?”

Rather than answer she threw her arms around his neck and pulled him to her. He instantly hardened at her show of aggression and she moaned into his mouth. She fit so perfectly into his arms, even if she was on the thin side. He slid his hands over her back and down to her delectable ass. Every part of her felt perfect.

It didn’t take long for her to pull away and he groaned at the loss. But he let her go because she was the only one thinking straight. All of his brain power had flooded to the more southern regions of his anatomy and he knew he wouldn’t be able to make a good decision tonight. He dropped his hands as disappointment filled him but he offered her a smile anyway.

“Well, if that’s all I get at least it was a good one,” he said.

She laughed without any real humor and pushed her hair behind her ear. The tight French braid she had started the day with had slowly loosened until her golden locks were flowing over her shoulders. He wanted to run his hands through them and hold on tight as he kissed her again.

“Um, yes…it was nice,” she said. “But I’m afraid we can’t do that again. I hope this doesn’t make tomorrow awkward.”

He smirked. “It will, but I promise to ignore it.” She frowned and he reached out to rub the wrinkle between her brows. “I’m sorry, Heather. I’m just being honest. I won’t let on that I want to touch you every time you pass by and I’ll pretend I don’t know how sweet your lips are, okay? But I’m going to keep wanting you and I don’t think there’s anything either of us can do about that.”

She took a deep breath and nodded slowly. “Okay. I guess it’s good to know even if it makes me feel a little helpless.”

He chuckled and shook his head. “Yeah. I feel kinda helpless too.”

He motioned to the stairs and she nodded before finally walking up the single flight to her condo. He followed and enjoyed the sway of her ass every step of the way. When she would have stepped toward her door he grabbed her elbow to stop her.

“Just one more? Please?”

This time he met her halfway and wrapped his arms around her small frame. He really didn’t want to let her go. The kiss lasted longer than before, as if she didn’t want to let go either. His tongue slipped between her lips, over her teeth and around her tongue. She tasted like heaven and he was starving for it. He sucked her bottom lip into his mouth and she whimpered. Finally she pulled back and shook her head. He watched her breasts heave and nearly dived in for a taste but she gently pushed him away.

“Zach…”

He nodded even as disappointment filled him again. “I know, I know. I’ll be dreaming about you though.”

“Jesus…”

He chuckled and turned away, unlocking his door as he fought the urge to grab her again. He had just pushed the door open and was about to step inside when her small hand landed on his shoulder.

“I-I’m sorry,” she whispered and he immediately turned around to face her again.

She was on him again so fast he stumbled back into his apartment with her in his arms. She was kissing him and he quickly caught on to the change in her demeanor. He didn’t know what she was thinking or what had convinced her, but he wasn’t about to argue. He kicked his door closed and somehow got it locked with all his concentration on Heather. She was everything to him in that moment.

“We shouldn’t,” she said between kisses. “But I can’t…help it…”

John Eagletalon had no idea what the government intended when it assigned him to its latest secret project - an icy blonde beauty with a miraculous ability. All he knew was that he owed Uncle Sam fourteen more months of his life, and if it meant being this woman's partner and bodyguard until he'd paid his dues, he'd find a way to endure the ordeal. Until he discovered what the government had been doing to her. And at the same time, discovered he was falling hopelessly in love with her. Now it's no longer a matter of protecting her. It's a matter of keeping her out of their clutches. And making her his.

Warning! Contains a wise Indian saying, cold showers, extreme hazardous pay, corrupt scientists, sorry sons of bitches, chains and collars, things that bite, and a two thousand mile journey that ends in an incredible night of love.

She found the ultimate love of her in another time...and as a man.

Jessie Wharton is a teacher in the twenty-first century. Or at least she was.

       

Taking her history class to visit the ruins of a historic fort in west Texas, the scorching heat turned her world upside down.

       

Suddenly, nothing was the way it was supposed to be. She was no longer Jessie Wharton. She was Jesse Webster. She wasn't a teacher. She was a private in the US Army stationed at Fort Callaghan, a completely functional outpost. And it was 1867.

Worse, she wasn't a she any longer. She was a man. A man who was finding himself falling in love with a fellow soldier named Martin Parrish.

       

Together, they discovered love in the scorching Texas heat, in a time when the merest breath of homosexuality was enough to have the accused whipped to death...if the native Indians didn't scalp them first.

Centuries ago, the town of Vistoller was nearly destroyed by dragons, until the townspeople realized that the attacks ceased once a young maiden was swept away by the creatures. Since then, every year, on the cusp of the autumn moon, a virgin is prepared for the dragon's arrival, to ensure another bountiful season without retaliation.

Except this year, the creature has no idea what it's being offered when it's presented with Ilisi. Neither does Ilisi know what to expect when the creature takes her away.

They’re both in for the surprise of their lives.

Excerpt:

Closer and closer the dragon approached. Its immense wings seemed to fill the sky as the creature loomed closer. Before too long, it blocked out the sun entirely, and Ilisi could finally look at the enormous monster as it dipped and turned to circle the site.

It didn't spout flames from its mouth, but she knew it could. And it would, if no sacrifice had been offered. It would have destroyed the whole town with a few simple passes, and no arrows or swords could touch it while it swooped overhead.

The dragon reached out with huge talons and grasped the edges of the old castle wall that used to sit on top of the hill. It was here where Vistoller had met its match centuries ago when the first dragons appeared. It was here at the castle's remains where the yearly sacrifice was offered. Where the dragons would land and claim their victims.

It was a powerful and terrifying-looking behemoth. Black scales covered it from head to tail, including the spread wings. Two massive horns curved upward from its forehead, giving the creature a distinctive, evil appearance.

The monster turned its long black snout from one side to the other as it stared long and hard at her. Oddly, Ilisi felt no fear. Only resignation.

Until she suddenly remembered something she'd heard last year.

"Hey. Aren't you supposed to be green? You were green last year."

The dragon gave a throaty huff, then reached out with one claw, snagging the chain holding her left arm. For the first time, Ilisi cringed, believing the creature was about to disembowel her. Or worse, rip her to pieces as it attempted to remove her from the cuffs. To her surprise, the monster snapped the chain, then did the same for the iron links holding her other arm. She was about comment about the release when the clawed foot grabbed her around the waist, and the dragon launched itself into the air, carrying her with it.

Although the claw was scaly, the foot was warm. With her arms freed, she folded them against herself and tried to brave the cold air by snuggling into the dragon's grasp. Her crown of flowers had flown away. Her hair whipped her face and shoulders, and she tucked the ends under her arms.

Below she could make out the tiny figures climbing to the top of the hill to make certain she'd been taken. Maybe they were surprised by the lack of screams. From what gossip she'd heard over the years, the women always screamed when the dragon arrived. Sometimes blood was found smeared on the walls, or droplets discovered on the ground. But there was never a body. Not even body parts. It was as if the dragon devoured the offering whole.

Now she knew better. The creature didn't eat its victim at the site. It flew away with it to return it to a nest or some such place it called home where it could eat her at its leisure.

They flew over more hills, across a vast lake, and soon approached a range of mountains she'd never knew existed. Mountains so high, their tops were covered in snow and clouds. Up here the air was almost brutally cold, but the dragon didn't seem affected. In fact, after it had noticed her trying to bury herself within its grasp, it seemed to understand why, and closed its other foot around her.

The monster flew between the mountain tops, over a deep orange gorge, then across what appeared to be a lush plateau covered in trees. In the far distance she would swear she saw the sparkle of sunlight on water, perhaps from a larger lake or perhaps an ocean. She never got the chance to be certain. The dragon banked to the left and began its descent toward another pair of tall peaks. Flying between them, it began to descend more rapidly into what looked like a lake of clouds.

The wind rushed upward as the dragon dropped through the white puffs, until they suddenly cleared them. Ilisi stared in shock at the sight below. They were inside of what looked like a ring of mountains, where the steep slopes were covered with buildings. Castles upon castles jutted outward from the rock. Turrets sprouted upward like carrot tops all over the mountain sides. And between them flew dozens of dragons. Dragons of all shapes and sizes and colors.

The creature holding her dropped even further, until it leveled off and headed directly for what appeared to be a wide balcony. Huge doors were open and waiting, leading into the sheer face of the mountain.

Letting her go with one foot, it landed on the wide banister encircling the balcony. Then it released her with the other foot. Ilisi stumbled and fell on the marble-like flooring while the monster remained sitting there, watching her.

Seeing that the dragon wasn't about to pounce on her any time soon and eat her, she managed to get to her feet. Behind her, the huge doors led into what appeared to be a bedroom. A strange idea came to her, and she turned around to face the immense black creature.

"What are you? Some kind of pet? Were you sent by whoever lives here to fetch me?"

The dragon tilted its ears forward but made no other movement.

"Where are the rest of the girls you've taken? Did you bring them here, too? Are they inside somewhere? Do they know I'm coming?"

She took a step backwards, closer to the doors. The dragon made no move to stop her.

"Who lives here? Are they expecting me? Hello!" She turned to face the bedroom. "Helloooo! Is anybody here? Hell—"

"You talk too much."

The sound of a human voice at her back shocked her, and she whirled around. The black dragon was gone, but where it had been stood a tall, gangly man with jet black hair.

A tall, gangly, naked man.
