Excerpt from Tanis – God of the Highlands
He
stopped abruptly when she appeared. His demeanor changing quickly from one of
surprise to that of hungry predator. She smirked. He would soon see which of
them was prey. She pressed him back into the room with a strength belied by the
dainty hand on his immense chest. She kicked the door shut with her foot as
they entered.

With
one beefy arm around her waist, Tanis gathered her up against him. Fighting the
urge to squeal with delight, Kiah wrapped both legs around him. He was massive.

She
wore nothing beneath the fur around her waist that left her legs bare to her
thighs and drove men wild. The ridges of his stomach teased her through the
fabric of his shirt, but Kiah savored the anticipation
of feeling his skin against her almost as much as the contact itself. It would
be difficult to say which gave her more pleasure.

Winding
her arms around his neck, she captured his mouth with hers. She was hit with
the most mind-numbing kiss she had known in all the ages. A groan of sheer
ecstasy bubbled up in her throat. What elements caused such a reaction? Why did
she not feel it with all men?

She
felt like she could fly, something she had done every day since her creation,
one of few gifts withheld from man. But in human form, the sensation of flying was far greater than the reality. It was not
fair.

Emotions
combined with her human sensations, roiling through her in a tangled mess that
left her bereft of coherent thought. She kissed him fiercely, inhaling his
essence as her tongue danced with his. He smelled of male and sex, tempting her
to vanquish their clothes and feel his naked skin against hers. His body was
sculpted muscle, hard and strong, beckoning her to meld her own warrior’s body
against it, to stroke it, to lick it, to conquer it.

kissed her back, with equal enthusiasm, alternately teasing her and devouring
her. She tasted his humanity and for once was not revolted by it. His passion
enflamed her own, leaving her drunk with lust. He tangled his fists in the fur
at the small of her back. In many other parts of the world, her attire would be
scandalous. It certainly was not acceptable here in Alba, but in the wilds of
the Highlands, she found it a simple matter to ensure her existence went
unnoticed, even in human form.

Woven
within his humanity was the hint of pagan blood. Its impurity laced the
delectable flavor of the man. She recoiled from the foulness of it, only
because she reminded herself she should, before it was too late.
