Intimidator (Preyfinders, #2)
by Cari Silverwood
This is Book 2 in the new Preyfinder series. Book 1, Precious Sacrifice, is currently in the anthology, Kept. Willow has her hands full scraping out a life in a grungy neighborhood where drugs and crime are the norm. Life is hard, but it's about to get harder. Being transformed into a sexual pet for an alien warrior may be her only way out. But Stom, the man she's been awarded to as a battle honor, has no use for a female, not when his heart is still in a million pieces. Though the need to be Stom's mate is overwhelming her, mending his heart isn't going to be enough. His enemies are searching, looking for the women who are more than they seem, but she's in their hands before she discovers she's more-than-human. Sometimes it sucks to be a chosen one.
Excerpt:
She
stood. Anger tore her up. The next words blurted out before she could stop
herself. “F**k you.”
Ally
might be wondering why she was out here. Forget this a**hole.
“Wait.
Willow.” He shot upright and grabbed her hands then added in his rumbly voice that
shivered deep inside her, “You need to believe me.”
When
she tugged and tugged, and couldn’t get free, her anger, stupidly, drained
away.
He
stared down at her like he could drive his words into her very soul. “Believe.
You must believe me. Run away, fast.
Go tomorrow.”
She
swallowed, petrified, but not of him holding her. The fear was of what he
meant, of how he was distorting her reality. Somewhere in what he said, she
sensed truth and a world of horrendous and incalculable wrongness.
“I
can’t.” Her words sounded so squeaky. “I have Ally. She needs me.” Tears wet
her eyelids and she trembled. “I can’t leave.”
It
would take her weeks to convince Ally. Months to sell the house. She had no
spare cash, nowhere else to go, and why was she even contemplating all this?
Then
he leaned in and kissed her. He wrapped his big solid, man-heavy arms around
her, fairly crushing her to him, and kissed.
A
shudder of lust slammed into her every cell. A volcanic explosion might,
barely, have had the same effect. S
