STORY EXCERPT

Korina snuggled down under the feather comforter, trying to prolong a wonderful dream in which she was in her old bed in Kire Dell. Inhaling deeply, she enjoyed an almost forgotten pleasure. How long had it been since she’d inhaled the sweet fragrance of Kazmi? Her mother favored the scent and made sure that the sheets at home always smelled of it. A lump filled her throat, and she sighed around it. A strong wave of homesickness assailed her.

Why had she run away? That question frequented her mind often. She’d done it because the man she was betrothed to since birth was reported to be ugly, deformed, and mean. She’d heard the rumors but steadfastly refused to believe them until the night before her wedding day.

The memory played again in her mind.

Alyssa, her lifetime friend, had run into her room. “He’s here. I saw him arrive,” she said, out of breath, her hands clutching at her chest.

“And?” Korina asked.

Alyssa’s horror-filled expression said it all, but she had to hear it.

“I’m so sorry, Kori.” Alyssa wrapped her arms about Korina in a hug.

Korina slipped out of Alyssa’s arms. “Tell me,” she said, full of fear.

“It is worse than we imagined.” Alyssa dramatically plopped onto the bed and started to cry. “He is the ugliest man I have ever seen.”

Korina paled, staggered to the bed, and sat down.

“What am I supposed to do? How can I marry someone that ugly? If that’s true about him, then he must be mean too. He’ll beat me.” Her fear escalated.

“You could run away,” Alyssa suggested. She sat up and started to think about that as a possible solution.

“Where could I go that my father couldn’t find me and bring me back? This marriage is important to our family. It’s about honor. The commitment was made years ago. If I run away, we will be disgraced.”

“Not if you’re kidnapped.”

“What?”

“We can make it look like a kidnapping. No one will know it wasn’t.”

“That’s a good idea,” Korina agreed, her hopes rising. “But it won’t work.”

“Why?”

“When I’m released or escape and I’m home again, the wedding will still take place.”

“We could fake your death.”

“How?”

“By having a witch put a spell on you.”

“And what happens when I come back to life?”

“You don’t. If you come back to life, it will be the same as running away.”

“But that means I have to go away forever,”

“You’ll find some way to do it, and you’ll find some way to let me know that you’re okay and where you are.”

“That’s a pretty drastic plan.”

“Kori, I know what he looks like, and believe me, it’s not drastic.”

Well, she’d gone to that witch and gotten that spell.

Only something had gone wrong. She never woke up. Instead, she’d found herself on an alien planet. Luckily, she’d been able to fit in. Her ability to learn quickly had served her well on Earth. The similarity between the two worlds was uncanny. She quickly discovered the differences and found that she liked them. Women had more rights in her new world, so she was able to take care of herself without many problems.

If she wasn’t so homesick and lonely, she might even be happy. Finding a man to love and making friends in this new world was beginning to seem impossible. There were times when being around people here gave her the heebie-jeebies. Maybe they felt the same way about her. That might explain it.

Korina inhaled deeply. The scent of Kazmi once again filled her nostrils.  With her eyes still closed, she pulled the covers closer to her face savoring the moment, not wanting it to end. This is wonderful, a bit strange but wonderful.

The door burst open.

“Kori, Kori, wake up,” Lena chirped as she bounded across the room. The bed rocked as she jumped onto it.

Korina froze. This is really bizarre. It feels so real.

A touch of panic infused her. She peeked out from the covers. Her little sister sat on the bed. Lena’s long blond hair curled to her waist. The child was dressed in her blue bunny pajamas, complete with the ears. Tears filled Korina’s eyes. This is exactly how she remembered her sister. This dream was so real it hurt.

Lena leaned close to her. “Why are you crying, Kori?”

“Because I love you. It’s been so long since I talked with you.”

Lena smiled and laughed. “I love you too. Mommy sent me to wake you up.” Lena furrowed her brows. “I talked with you last night. Did you forget?”

“No, I didn’t forget.”

Lena kissed Korina’s cheek. Korina touched the wet spot left by her lips.

“Mommy says you have a lot to do today. It’s your wedding day, remember?”

“My wedding day?”

Korina bolted upright.

“Then I’m not dreaming? I’m here?”

“Where else would you be, silly?”

Lena clambered off the bed.

“I’ll tell Mommy you’ll be down in a few minutes.”

The door slammed closed behind Lena after she ran through it.

Korina pinched herself.

“Ouch.” She smiled.

“I’m really home.” She started to laugh. “Thank you, Minerva!”

ADULT EXCERPT

Her breathing deepened and became rapid.

“You want me to fuck you, don’t you?”

“Just as much as you want to fuck me.” She smiled brightly, teasing him.

He took her into his arms, threaded his fingers into her hair, and yanked her head back, exposing her neck and lifting her breasts.

“I do want to fuck you, Korina. It seems I never tire of making love to you.”

“You don’t—”

“Don’t say it.” He cut her off. “Adam makes love his way and I mine.”

He lowered his mouth to hers in a ravenous and brutal kiss, crushing her body to his.

In the months that they’d been making love, he’d learned many things about this wonderful woman who was his wife. He’d never taken her in Adam’s bed—maybe it was time.

“Get in bed and spread your legs,” he ordered.

“We’re doing this here?”

The last of his clothing hit the floor.

“Yes. Here and now.”

He tossed her onto the bed, making her giggle.

“I remember the last time we did this,” he said, a deep huskiness vibrating in his voice.

“That was the first time, and I remember it too.”

Korina scrambled to her feet and threw herself at him.

“I’m not running this time.”

She pulled his head back, just as he had hers.

Standing on the bed as she was, she was much taller than him and had to bend to reach his lips. His neck was arched brutally, but when she thrust her tongue down his throat, all thoughts of discomfort flew from his mind. Korina had the power to excite him into madness in a matter of moments. Her fingers cradled his head and combed through his hair. She would be ready for him this morning. When Adam made love to her the night before, she was ready for more in the morning.

Korina broke the kiss, pulling his head back so she could look into his eyes.

“How can your eyes be the same as Adam’s?” she whispered more to herself than to him.

“We are the same.”

“So I have come to understand…almost.”

He smiled at that.

Korina had begun to talk to them as if they were the same person. She attacked his mouth, her talented tongue exploring every crevice. His cock responded immediately. The kiss ended with both of them panting.

“Suck,” she ordered as she pressed his face into her breast. Then she scooped her tits into her hands and pinched their nipples to make them ready for his lips. He locked his mouth around the entire areola, pulling it deep into his mouth.

“Harder. Maybe I should get Jack,” she quipped.

“Jack doesn’t like the taste of my flesh. I don’t think he will want to play with us that way.”

Arun bit her nipple, and then tongued and gently sucked the sting away. Holding her motionless, he squeezed her ass and began a licking and sucking decent southward toward the burning inferno he knew awaited him.

Pleasure moans filled his ears, and her fingers entwined in his hair, stroking and pulling. Her hips began to undulate. When he reached the apex of her heat, he blew a hot breath into the curls guarding the doorway.

“Spread yourself open for me, Korina.”

“With pleasure.”

Thighs separated, she pulled the lips of her pussy apart, inviting him to enter. His tongue snaked into the opening. Her breath caught, and she let out a hiss of satisfaction. With his hands on her ass, he held her motionless as he locked his lips around her clitoris and sucked until she shuddered and her knees buckled.

To steady herself, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He tugged her from the bed and allowed his hands to travel southward over her curves.

“Wrap your legs around my hips, Korina.”

She curved one limb around his back. Standing on the other, she spread herself open to his penetration. With a groan, he let his cock slip into her pussy. Hot and wet, it welcomed him. To support her weight, he grabbed her ass as she wrapped her other leg around his back, locking them together behind him.

Korina was not a small woman, but he could easily manage her weight. He moved to the wall and anchored her back to it.

“You’re so hot and wet, so ready to be fucked. Adam makes you like this. He knows how to fuck you.”

“You know how to fuck me too. Look at us rutting like two wild animals. Could I do this if it didn’t make me hot? Don’t shortchange yourself, Arun. You know how to fuck me. I love the way Adam makes love to me, and I love the way you fuck me. There’s a difference, but I love them both.”

She found his mouth and nibbled on his lip before she thrust her tongue inside. Her tongue delved deep, seeking its pleasure.

He pressed her to the wall, his deep thrusts disconnecting their mouths. His forehead pressed into hers. Their eyes met and maintained contact. He snarled and growled as his body drove itself into her, wanting to consume her, wanting to be consumed by her. His manhood was throbbing deep inside her, begging her to understand what he needed.

“I want you to love me.” The words were torn from him, and they sounded angry.

Korina’s body tensed, and her cunt pulsed around his cock. Her muscles became soft and pliant as she floated in the euphoria of her release. He stilled to watch her face and to experience the delightful way her pussy massaged his cock as she came.
