A Grim Reaper And An Angel. Two Brothers With Very Different Missions And One Woman's Soul Who Brings Them Together. Reaper's Redemption; An Erotic, Contemporary, Menage a Trois (MFM) by Scarlet Day




Blurb:

Atticus is a fallen angel with many names, but the Grim Reaper is the one most feared. After failing his last mission, he’ll get as close to his new target as he must to ensure success. An unfallen angel and Atticus’s brother, Azrael longs to turn Atticus from darkness. His own mission comes first, though, and if he succeeds he’ll lose Atticus forever.

Danni Morgan had her life ahead of her until a devastating diagnosis changed everything. She’s determined to conquer her fear of death, but she has no idea her soul is being stalked.

As he interferes with Atticus’s mission, Azrael realizes their target may be the only one who can save his brother. But Azrael may have to sacrifice himself as the price for his brother’s salvation. Danni’s time grows short, sacred vows are broken, and angelic forces are unleashed. In the end, even the walls of Hell are no match for the power of love and redemption.

A Siren Erotic Romance


Excerpt:

“You need to eat.” Atticus placed a plate of sliced honeydew melon, pineapple, and mango on the small table next to Danni’s lounge chair.

Danni sighed and looked up at him, lifting her hand over her eyes to shield them from the bright sunlight. “I know. I just haven’t been able to get much down.”

Atticus sat down on the chaise next to her and glanced across at Azrael, who occupied the chair of the other side of Danni. He wore a speculative expression as he studied her. Atticus could almost see the thoughts running through his brother’s mind. Was Danni’s illness progressing faster than they had detected?

She had spent the last couple of days barely able to do more than sit around the pool, occasionally taking a quick dip in the water to cool herself off. She napped often and ate little. Atticus had seen disease take its toll on countless humans. Her body’s responses were normal, under the circumstances. And if her illness was progressing faster than he’d anticipated, then his mission would be over all the more quickly. He narrowed his eyes and studied Danni, wondering why that thought bothered him so much?

Maybe he just dreaded the possibility of returning to Hell without her soul, should Azrael best him in their opposing missions. Or maybe, in spite of his insistence otherwise, he wasn’t really all that irritated by his brother’s presence. Truth be told, Atticus was enjoying his brother’s company, though he would never admit that to anyone, least of all Azrael.

Azrael had even relented and called Atticus by his preferred name in front of Danni, though he still called him by his given name when they were alone. It was a small concession, but one Atticus appreciated, all the same. His given name reminded him too much of times long past, when his purpose had been different.

Danni shifted in her chair, dragging Atticus’s thoughts back to her. He picked up the fork he’d brought and speared a piece of honeydew. “Just a bite, Danni. Please.”

Danni sighed heavily, but then she pushed herself higher up into the chair. “Okay, but only because you’re being so good to me.”

The words froze Atticus for a moment, before he extended his arm and placed the melon in her mouth. She tugged it off the fork and then licked her lips, catching the juice before it ran down her chin. Atticus’s field of vision seemed to shrink down so that the small, pink tip of her tongue was the only thing he could see. His chest seemed to constrict, as though a tight band encircled him and squeezed. She thought he was being good to her? His sole mission was to snatch her soul and ferry it to Hell, but she thought he was being good to her?

Danni leaned back against the lounge chair again and closed her eyes while she chewed the fruit. “Mmmm, this does taste good. If I promise to eat the rest, will you stop worrying so much?”

Abaddon set the fork down on the plate. His hand shook and he stared at it, appalled. What the hell was wrong with him? He was the Grim Reaper, for fuck’s sake. He should be encouraging his victim to starve and speed up the dying process. But here he was, hand-feeding her and encouraging her to eat.

He shot a glance at his brother, who stared back at him with narrowed eyes and a furrowed brow. Panic bolted through Atticus. Did his brother suspect Atticus was losing his touch? Did he think Atticus was going soft? And would Azrael use that to his advantage?

He had to pull himself together. Atticus stood up and walked to the edge of the pool. Without looking back at Danni and Azrael, he dove into the deep end of the swimming pool. The cool water enveloped him. He swam close to the bottom, not emerging until he reached the far side of the pool. As his head popped up above the surface, he wiped the water from his eyes and glanced back to Danni and Azrael. Even from a distance, he could feel Azrael’s calculating stare.

Atticus pulled himself out of the pool and turned toward the beach. Maybe a long walk would help him clear his head. He’d never spent this much time in such close proximity to one of his targets. Not since…

The realization struck him as hard as a lightning bolt. There was only one other target he had gotten close to in all of his existence. And that hadn’t turned out well at all, for either of them. The memories flooded back into his mind. He broke into a run, churning up the sand under his feet as he ran. Faster and faster he sprinted down the beach, the memories and shadows chasing him with every step.

He kept running. With rage and remorse he yelled at the heavens. He would not—could not—repeat his past mistakes. There would be Hell to pay if he did.


ADULT EXCERPT

Abaddon squeezed his eyes shut. As he knelt there, the hard tile under his knees and the cool water flowing over his shoulders and down his back, he felt tears spill down his face. He knew he didn’t deserve to be loved so much. He had never done anything to earn his brother’s compassion and he could never do enough to earn Danni’s heart. Yet they gave him both.

The scent of strawberries filled the air again and he opened his eyes. Danni smiled and wove her fingers into his hair. He stared into her eyes as she performed the same cleansing ritual for him that he had done for her. As her hands moved with such gentleness across his body, it felt as though more than just the outward evidence of his time in Hell was being washed away. He felt clean, all the way through. When the water cascaded over his body, he knew it washed away more than just dirt and suds. It also washed away all of the pain, bitterness, and rebellion he had held in his heart for so long.

When Danni finished with him, she turned to Azrael and reached her hand out to him. Abaddon stood and moved to the side, while Azrael stripped out of his soot-stained jeans and then stepped into the shower. Danni repeated the cleansing process for Azrael, taking care to wash away all of the filth and black soot that clung to him.

Abaddon watched Danni’s face as she cleansed his brother. Her gaze roamed over Azrael, her pupils dilating and her nostrils flaring at times. His brother had been right. Danni could not resist Azrael’s body. But as he watched her face, Abaddon suspected there was more to it than that, even if she hadn’t realized it yet. He looked at his brother and studied his face. Azrael’s gaze was focused on Danni. Abaddon grinned. He recognized the expression in his brother’s eyes. It was the same look he knew he wore every time he looked at Danni. He wondered when Azrael and Danni would admit their feelings for each other.

As he watched her wash his brother and saw desire light up her eyes, Abaddon felt his own desire burn through him. His cock swelled and stood erect. He reached for it and stroked his hand down the hard shaft. The movement caught Danni’s attention and her gaze followed his hand. A smirk turned up her lips and she slid the tip of her tongue over her bottom lip. The small action sent a shudder through Abaddon and her smile broadened. He narrowed his eyes at her. The little devil knew exactly what she was doing to him and she was enjoying it.

She finished washing Azrael and then stood up on her tiptoes and placed a quick kiss on his lips. “I’ll finish with you in a few minutes.”

She turned to Abaddon. He felt as though his skin was going to burst into flames as her gaze wandered down his body and then settled on his throbbing cock. His hand was not enough to satisfy him. There was only one thing that could give him what he needed. And only one person who could give it to him. As though she could read his mind, she dropped to her knees on the floor of the shower.

She took his thick cock in her hand and ran her fingers over the tight skin. She rubbed the swollen head with her thumb, spreading the drop of pre-cum that had emerged. Her fingers teased his aching shaft. Abaddon groaned and leaned back against the cool tile wall. Her hand felt incredible as she rubbed and stroked him. He didn’t know how anything could feel better. But when she ran her tongue along the underside of his cock and then sucked the head into her mouth, he thought his world was going to come undone.

She sucked and licked, pulling moan after moan out of him. Her mouth and tongue drove him to near madness as the pressure inside him built and grew more intense. He didn’t want it to end. He wanted to feel her lips around him forever.

He wove his fingers into her hair and thrust into her mouth, his hips coming away from the hard tile behind him. Her teeth skimmed his shaft and drove him to near madness. She took every inch of him and he felt his head hit the back of her throat with each thrust. Still she sucked and teased, giving him no mercy.

He hurled toward the brink, his cock straining into her mouth. As the pressure built to an almost unbearable level, he felt slim fingers wrap around his tight balls and then squeeze. The pressure broke. His cum shot from him into Danni’s mouth and he yelled his release. She kept sucking, pulling everything he had to give from him. His fingers tightened in her hair and his cock twitched in her mouth as she drained him.

He fell back against the wall and stared down at her. She slid his cock out of her mouth and then looked up at him and licked her lips. The sight was enough to make his cock swell again.

She grinned up at him. “Greedy much? You’ll have to wait your next turn.”

She spun on her knees and grinned up at Azrael, who was staring down at her with the look of an angel who would give his wings to feel her lips on his cock. Just as she reached for him, a silver glow formed around the three of them and lit up the bathroom.

“Fuck.” He exchanged a look of dread with his brother.

Danni jumped to her feet, her eyes wide and alarm flashing across her face. “What? Not Hell again?”

The glow around them intensified to a blinding white as Abaddon and Azrael answered in unison. “Worse.”

As Love Shifts; A Scorching Hot, Menage a Cinque (M/F/M/M/M), Contemporary, Paranormal Werewolf Romance By Kat Barrett




[Ménage and More: Erotic Paranormal Ménage Romance, M/F/M/M/M, werewolves, shape-shifters, warlocks, spanking, whipping, HEA]


Blurb

Ever’s prophecy seems to be coming true, as the northeast states are hit with a hurricane of epic proportions. It is up to Ever, her men, and her magic to keep the werewolf clan alive in underground bunkers that are only half completed.

When a shifter named Chirrot flies over to let them know that his family is still alive, Ever is reminded of how sinfully handsome the man is. Chirrot has never tried to hide his desire for Ever, but it couldn’t come at a worse time for Kris. After losing his eye protecting Ever, he is feeling inadequate and the last thing he wants is to witness Ever’s veiled attraction for the blond-haired shifter. 

As the water recedes and they can leave the bunkers, Chirrot, who had the potential to destroy their relationship, proves that he is worthy of their respect.

A Siren Erotic Romance



EXCERPT

Kris and Liam each had an arm around her with a hand shoved into her back pockets. She had considered dressing in something nicer for the inquisition, but had feared that she would come off as trying to be fashionable. Fashion was not a big issue on the clan property and it was best not to stand out. Demetri was walking beside Kris, which showed his place as low man in the pack. Liam outranked him only because he was Kris’s brother, but the unspoken arrangement had no real meaning when they were at home. They held an equal place in her life and Ever verified this with her words and actions.

She was tired, having been unable to go back to sleep after Avia’s dream. The children had still been sleeping when they left, but Daisy was there and she would look after them. As they walked into the clearing, Ever cringed at the amount of people gathered. If she was figuring correctly, over a quarter of those who lived on the property were sitting on blankets before the podium.

Charity waved to her and Ever was captured in the gaze of her son Chirrot. Chirrot had made no bones about the fact that he desired her and Ever had had a few uncomfortable dreams about him. The boy was blond and downright hunky. From what she had learned after their occasional chats, he was also intelligent, well spoken and brazenly funny.

All conversation seemed to cease as they walked through the open path down the center. A chair had been placed sideways to the council and her chair that normally stood beside Kris’s had been removed. For this particular event, and she now thought of it as an event, there were two chairs for Demetri and Liam, but they had been placed on the ground.

Kris slid his hand from her pocket and offered his hand in a gentlemanly gesture as he stepped up onto the platform. Ever took her seat and he took his. “I believe that we all know why we are here. My mate, Ever Wilson, has been accused of attacking the elder Willis Parth.” Kris stopped to look around at those gathered for a reaction. “A little known fact about my mate is that she has the ability to allow us, her mates, to see events directly from her mind. Unlike the Parth family, my family considers a woman to be an equal part in a relationship with the same rights as her men. The event as Ever showed it to us last night was quite different than what was described to me by Nothan Parth.”

Helezon, the head of the council, stood and nodded in respect to Ever. “I have heard your version through Kris on the phone last night. I would prefer it if you could rise and tell everyone here what happened in your own words. I’m also quite interested to see if you can make me see this event myself, if you would be so kind as to try?”

Ever stood and walked over to him. She held her hands out slowly and put them softly to Helezon’s cheeks, closing her eyes. When she had first tried to do this with her men, it had given them a headache and she was careful to monitor her power push  as she allowed the memory to flow through her mind. Helezon tensed against her palms and she immediately pulled back. He was staring wide eyed at her. “That was truly amazing.”

Ever gave him a worried smile. “Just to let you know, I block any input from your mind, so you don’t have to worry that I now know your darkest secrets.”

“I hadn’t even thought about that, but thank you for the information. I’m sure that I will sleep better tonight for it. Can you please now speak what you showed me to those gathered?”

Ever turned and faced the people on the ground. A sea of blank faces stared back at her and she had to wonder why none of them had something better to do. She concentrated on sending out feelings of trust and belief as she told her side of the story. It wouldn’t affect their thinking if they truly thought she was lying, but she figured it couldn’t hurt. Once she had finished, Helezon called Nothan and Willis Parth to the podium. The two men approached, glaring at Ever as if she was the devil herself.

Willis turned furious yellow eyes to her. “This evil half-breed bitch is a liar. She came to my house threatening my family after I refused to let her waste the clan’s money to put one of those toxic underground houses on my land. She turned first when I came down the stairs to escort her back to her car. If it hadn’t been for my sons coming outside, I’m sure that she would have tried to kill me. She wouldn’t have succeeded, but considering that she is a witch, maybe she would have gotten in a few bites before I tore her apart.”

Ever was holding her temper in check. It would do no good to react to his insinuations in front of those gathered. Willis turned to the council. “I say we settle this as it should be settled in open forum.”

Open forum? Wasn’t that where two wolves went to battle against one another? Did she really want to turn and get into a fight with him?




ADULT EXCERPT

Demetri escorted them to the very back of the shop, taking them down a hallway with a co-ed bath to the right and storage on the left. At the very end of the hall, a central door opened up into a large room. He showed them in and then threw the bolt lock. Spinning Ever around with his hand to her shoulder, he dragged her to his chest and kissed her, crushing her lips with his lust. His tongue became a snake, lashing and licking her inner mouth in a way that took her breath away. His hand slid down her arms, around to her back and he tugged her shirt up over her head. Someone unclipped her bra, reaching around her from the back to unbutton her jean shorts and tug them down.

It felt amazing to be attacked as they were doing, stripping her, kissing her mouth, her skin, hands reaching around to cuddle her breast as the man’s chest molded into her spine. It was Kris, she could feel the heat of his body, smell his alpha-male scent. It was musky and alluring. The smell of him made her sinuses tingle and her pussy throb with desire. Oh how she wanted this, needed this. Ever became soft chocolate in their arms, pliable, game for whatever they had in mind for her.

Demetri nipped her nose, Kris’s hands rubbing and massaging her breast as he rolled her nipples between his fingers. She shivered at the brush of hair against her thighs. Liam had crawled between his brother’s legs and the first touch of his finger to her now pulsing cunt was euphoria. He pushed the outer skin back, holding it taut as he began to lick at her aching clit.

She could feel the swell of wet heat, her little mountain swelling and bubbling with lava that now coated the inside of her. His tongue was wet and hard, stroking and lapping circles over her skin, brushes of moisture sliding over her sweet spot.

Kris kissed the back of her neck, down her shoulder. Demetri rained kisses down her throat, sucking at her nipple as Kris’s strong palm held her for the taking. Demetri’s hands were on her stomach, rubbing and caressing her skin, Liam licking and sucking as he breached her with his fingers. He had such strong and elegant fingers. They stroked and surged in and out of her pussy, enthralling her with the feel of his touch. There was magic in Demetri’s mouth, his tongue seeming to cascade with electric pulses as he pushed it into her nipple. Releasing her flesh, Kris kissed down the line of her spine. He nipped at the cheek of her ass and then slapped the skin, leaving a stinging handprint behind. Ever jumped, whimpering as her body was crushed against Demetri’s.

She moved her hands to his shirt, tugging it upward and off. Ever threw it on the floor and then unzipped his jeans, pushing them from his hips. Liam shook his head, his tongue lashing back and forth as the sensation of his hair wafting against her skin claimed her attention. Then he was gone, leaving her body screaming for attention, her volcano ready to erupt, smoldering heat making her moan with desire.

Demetri shrugged off his jeans, leaving them in a heap on the floor as he walked her across the room. He made a gesture with his hand and then turned, holding her tight to his body as he sat down on the desk. He laid back and Kris lifted her up onto the wood surface, her knees bending as she straddled Demetri. With her hand, she reached between her thighs and grasped his cock, stroking it firmly as Kris smeared something into her ass. It was wet and slippery, probably some kind of oil.

The dick in her hand responded easily and Ever claimed it, her cunt absorbing the warmth slowly relishing it Kris stepped in closer to her, pushing her upper body down into Demetri as his cock delved into the depths of her tight ass. It was a magical sensation, the two men filling every tiny space within her, moving, swaying against nerves that were eager to be stroked, coerced into a frenzy of throbbing bliss.

Kris dragged her back into his chest, his palms returning to her breasts as Liam leapt up onto the desk, straddling Demetri and offering his semierect dick to her mouth. Ever accepted, sucking him between her lips, deeper into her throat, before she began to rock her head forward and back.

It became a rhythm between them, Demetri pushing upward as Kris slid back, her head bobbing as her inner volcano bubbled and boiled.
