His hesitant courtship and Venomous’ assertive one taught me about myself. Ironically, Fiercely Comes the Night wouldn’t get what he wanted acting as he did. He’d recognised the likelihood of my resistance, and decided early on to lock me down tight.Ĭonverse to this tactic, Fiercely backed off, and sought my approval, something in my past life I believed I’d respond positively to. Realising this, I began to understand why Venomous acted so aggressively to get me to submit to his claim.

In essence, Fiercely endorsed my running roughshod over him. He did as I bid, and I carried on as I pleased. I set a boundary, and he towed the line, no arguments. Warning: violence, profanity and sexual situations with multiple partners.I struggled not to compare the two, yet I kept thinking that Fiercely accommodated everything I did without question. Rescued by Venomous’ people, the couple face space pirates, the condemnation of an alien government, galactic war, and a deadlier threat from within the warrior’s own kindred. Winning his mate by Right of Might, he vows to protect Lumen and be a good provider, no matter how ugly her human appearance. When a female is tossed into the arena his soul demands he claim her. Venomous One, a proud warrior enslaved, has given up hope of returning to his home world and finding a life mate. Told the males will battle for the right to slake their lusts with her body, she would become the slave of slaves. I am stranded in a galaxy far, far away and here be huge f***ing aliens.' ~ Lumen Young, formerly of Earth, lost in spaceĪbducted from Earth and transported to a slave planet in an unknown galaxy, Lumen finds herself, shackled, naked and put on display before an alien horde. 6) A marauding overlord with a harem four hundred strong who is determined to make you concubine number four hundred and one. 5) Putting your alien lover/life mates’ species under the threat of annihilation because you ticked off the wrong Slave Chieftain. 2) Long term stay on a slave planet where you’re one female amongst thousands of 'needy' males. 'Six things a woman should not have to deal with: 1) More than one barbaric alien lover/life mate. I revere this giver of life, as is the way.' ~ Venomous One, formerly of Rök, enslaved gladiator

It is her duty to endure my lust, respect my nest mates and honour our union with offspring. She was stolen from her world by our captors.

When she is weak, I shall be her strength. 'She is mine to protect, mine to shelter, mine to feed and mine to cover.
