Sheppard leans forward on the desk, hands clenched. "What awaits sister Fern is no concern of yours. Your concern is the gorgon. Why wasn't he here tonight?"

Eben tenses, baring his teeth. "Because he got shredded by chimeras! He was in no condition to fight!"

Sheppard smirks. The look freezes Eben's heart with icy fear. "I'm quite surprised to hear such... concern in your tone, my child. Have you really come to care for our serpent that much? Even after you attempted to run away from him?"

Eben blanches, how did he know?

"No, I— I didn't mean—"

Sheppard interrupts, voice lowering to an almost inhuman rumble. "Make no mistake, half-breed, the magic that binds you to Adder also binds you to me. I will be able to tell if you tamper with it or attempt to escape."

The half-elf glares defiantly. "Don't worry. It won't happen again. It wasn't exactly pleasant to endure."

Sheppard laughs cruelly, the look of amusement on his weathered face illuminated by the sickly glow of lightning streaking through stained glass.

"Is it the curse keeping you here, or your growing affection for the gorgon?"

"His godless beauty was a disgrace and the more we more loved, the more I hated him but that was only ever me trying to convince myself to leave because really, I had never loved another man like I loved Cain."

When her mother drags sixteen-year-old Clara out to the Amagansett summerhouse she recently inherited, Clara is plunged into a secret world of romance and danger in which Selkies—mythical mer creatures of unsurpassable beauty—rule the sea. Thus begins an adventure beyond her wildest imaginings, which will force her to choose between the safety of home and a magical love that cannot be denied. 

Bored and missing her friends, Clara stumbles upon a hidden realm where surfers, even the handsome Jack, are not who, or what, they seem. Clara is initially frightened when the band of surfers’ true nature is revealed, but quickly falls under the spell of their enchanting underwater existence. Now that the deep blue sea is in danger thanks to the uncaring forces of industry, Clara will have to decide if she is willing to risk all to join them in their battle to save the earth’s waters from pollution.

A day earlier than promised, The Dune Walkers is now available on Amazon!

He was a masterful lover, once he had a pace and had loosened her tunnel; he wrapped his fingers plunging them into her still gluttonous cunt and pressed against her g-spot. She began to push herself off the glass into him as she screamed with his come hither fingers sloshing in her cunny.  "Fuck me!" she exclaimed, "Fuck me harder you asshole!" A carnal roar came from within the cell as the phaser began to shift quickly from animal to human to insect to animal. Nathan grunted as he exploded deep within Raelle and his fingers rapidly shock within her cunt stimulating her secretions to explode as she climax with her juices dripping down her legs.  The two collapsed to the floor ignoring the tormented phaser still jumping from shape to shape in his cell. Catching their breath, they composed themselves, put their clothes and slipped their white scientific jackets on. "How is your tissue analysis of the lycanthropy coming along," Nathan asked.  "It's complete," she announced as she returned to her workbench and handed him the file labeled: Specimen #2398 "Another phaser," Nathan said taking the folder and walking to the frantic phaser sitting again in a ball rocking. "We need something bigger, stronger. You've read the docket on how to notice a PH?" "Yes." "Good, keep your eyes out. It could mean a hefty bonus and accolades with the high ups." Nathan pounded against the glass and the phaser jumped frantically and again began to phase. Nathan snickered. "In the zoo they tell you not to pound on the glass- see why." He walked over to Raelle computerized microscope and peered into the tissue sample of Specimen # 2398 and looked at her notes. He sulked. "If only we could get a vampire again. We know enough about phasers, it's just high school biology with them. But a vampire, that would be grand." ************************ ************************* Thank you so much to Pennlady for editing.  Thank you for all for your patience.
