    I felt him poise to enter me... Everyone always told me that visiting Europe would change my life. I'd heard that when I was younger, and now that I was in college and given an opportunity, I thought I'd give it a try. I had no idea what I was in for. Sure, I'd heard about the odd Shifters that lived in Trondheim, a small village in northern Norway. But I wasn't prepared for these two gorgeous studs. My nostrils flared as I took in the scent of this man. I could see his pulse race through his veins, his excitement awakening the beast inside me. No pack can survive without a Trinity leading it. I'd always had my Omega, my Seneschal. He and I had been through hell and back. But our mission was still to find our third, a person to balance our rage and power with introspection and wisdom. We were on our trip back to Trondheim, ready to give up. But then we saw him. Gorgeous eyes, soft lips and a tight ass I needed to claim. To mark. To bring into our pack. Almost 8,000 words of a bottom twink being railed by two alpha male Shifters. Fixed a few typos in the original version, my apologies!

Dear Author,It seems the King has taken another consort. He’s infamous for seeing something he wants and taking it, especially after battle when he needs to syphon off aggression. Who needs consent when one’s word is law in the realm? Judging by that soldier’s calm face he well knows what he’s in for and knows better than to resist too much, or too little, with other eyes upon them. Of course this battle-hardened man might be more than the King bargained for once they’re in the relative privacy of his chambers.Kings aren’t well-known for their generosity in bed. I might go so far as to say they can be a bit careless of others’ enjoyment. So my question for you, Dear Author, is whether this soldier is turned on by all the manhandling and disregard for his satisfaction, or if he will challenge his liege and get some of his own back. Does the King crave submission from his lovers when all he gets is resignation, or will a challenge light his fire? Either way, I’m sure it will be hot.Photo Description: Two ancient warriors on the deck of a ship. The first has a battered helmet with white horse hair as adornment, his eyes look into the distance. He is slightly arched upward because the warrior behind him is holding his throat in a very possessive manner; this second man is crowned like a king. Their bodies are intimately united as the groin of the warrior-king dominantly curves over the other’s backside.This story may contain sexually explicit content and is intended for adult readers.

When an unforeseen accident results in a crash landing, his plan for a quick removal of the human Shawn lays in a twisted ruin at his feet, much like his shuttlecraft.

Now he must decide if he’s willing to throw away all he knows to travel the stars with Ziang.
