A desire to belong
For Jazmine stealing wasn't a choice but a necessity, looking for the one gem to help her twin brother Caleb. With the small jewels pilfered from the Vanifia's safe tucked in her pants, she'd have currency to fuel her journey for the next two years. If she could elude the clutches of the Vanifia King. She was tempted to procure a sample of his odorous mating fluid which contained anti aging properties n highly prized, but that thought was fleeting. She needed to escape the palace n look for a ride to Killian as she drugged the King n escaped out the window. Running n hiding from the palace guards she found passage on a ship with a fellow Territhian. The price of passage, become his concubine. Agreeing to escape the guards, she was shocked to see his eyes shift, as a deep pulsing red ring formed around his iris. The shock of being in the presence of a ghost was nothing compared to the intense overwhelming desire that overcame her. He was not Territhian but a Vartik, a race of beings thought to be extinct. Stories abounded about their ability to drown their lovers in ecstasy from their touch n taste. He smelled like rain mixed with male sensuality as her insides flamed. Hiding her emotions, she avoided him as best as she could, not ready to divulge any of her secrets to anyone. Her true desire was to find her brother, find a place to call home, somewhere where she could truly belong.
Marek was leaving the restaurant trying to keep his emotions in check so eyes didn't shift. Travelling undercover as a male Territhian suited his purposes for the time being as he wanted a quiet adventure to end his freedom properly before returning home. A new King was crowned according to the old magic of his people. The shifting occurred when the present King received a vision, an open that the crown should pass one year from that day. As the firstborn son he was the next in line, 6 months had passed since his father's dream.
Boarding his ship he's approached by a woman with brilliant green eyes, the sight of her making his heart beat faster. Looking her over he also felt the warmth of arousal overtake him. Her breasts larger than Vartik females, found him wanting to see them up close, explore them, taste them. A warm smell of vanilla rolled over him as he stifled a growl. He decided to take her to Killian on one condition be his concubine for the trip. Little does he know the adventure he wanted would come in the form of this Territhian female. For she is more special than anyone he ever met.
