Exclusive Excerpt:
Floating,
warm and lazy, drifting toward sleep, I knew the precise moment he entered my
mind. My breath quickened and my heart raced, fear and anticipation wrangled in
my belly. Images flashed so fast I could barely catch them. Brief glimpses of a
dark purple-blue sky and arcing crackles of energy signaled his invasion of my
consciousness. After reading too much Stephen King in junior high, my early
teenage dreams of him had seemed like a surreal dark fantasy.
Over the
years I’d learned to recognize these unique sensations, the foreign taste of
alien dust on my tongue – his tongue; and the writhing dimensional folds
tangled around my hands – his hands. I experienced his struggle to
control the forces he harnessed to craft a pathway through the barriers
separating our worlds. His aggressive, charismatic power filled me, yet the
texture of his thought and influence flowed distinctly different from my own
mind. I didn’t know what he was, or where he lived, but I knew his name.
Mithra.
“I’m here,
Mithra. Waiting for you … as always.” As always, he ignored my taunts.
{{Your
patience is rewarded. I crossed rivers of time and space for you.}}
When he said
things like that, I worried. Why? Who was I that this magnificent god-like male
visited me, spoke directly to me? His warm, inviting voice was the only
constant in my life. Without him I was a lonely girl with no real life at all.
“What … what
do you need? What would you have me do?”
My guts
turned with the dual sensations of anticipation and anxiety. Speaking aloud,
acknowledging him, reminded me of my mother, locked away and drugged for
talking to the voices in her head. The doctors had fancy diagnoses like multiple
personality disorder and schizophrenia, but I knew there were other
possibilities.
Seeing what
happened to my mother, I never spoke about Mithra to anyone, the things he said
and did to me. The secret of his presence in my life was sometimes overwhelming
… and his lurking expectations.
{{When the
time is right, you will serve me.}}
His touch
radiated through my soul and ended at my skin. Goosebumps rose everywhere as I
shivered with the delightful sensation. I faced a choice, to force myself awake
and brush off his influence, or dive deeper into sleep and accept this man sharing
my soul and body … well not exactly a man.
His golden
face formed in my mind’s eye. I wanted to run my fingers through his dark, long
hair. The fiery luminescence of his inhuman eyes exposed my deepest desires.
His jaw was hard and square, the undeniable look of an athlete – or a warrior.
Though I’d never seen his entire form all at once, I always enjoyed his power
radiating over me, a raw masculine force. He was larger than a normal man, skin
colored an unnatural metallic sheen. Every part of him projected pure
domineering male physique. Sometimes he appeared almost naked, tonight I
glimpsed ornate armor on his forearms. His intense eyes blazed with the
magnetism of saints, an allure I stopped resisting long ago. Whatever, wherever
he was, he came to me, he wanted me … wanted something from me.
I yearned to
touch his golden-bronzed skin, trace my fingers over his rippling muscles.
{{I am here
for you, Tesorina. Feel me if you wish.}}
I smiled at
the affectionate sound of his pet name for me, Tesorina. He rarely
called me Ashley or Ash like everyone else.
Mithra knew
what I wanted, even when I wasn’t certain myself. I held no secrets from him.
He pulled my hands to his body by force of will. My palms landed on his hard,
strong chest. The warm ridges of muscle beneath my fingers felt more solid than
anything in my world. Hot sensations raced over my body, spearing down between
my legs. I was instantly wet, ready for a man. I quivered with fear and
anticipation. I shouldn’t touch him like this, too familiar, too intimate, but
I could never resist his compulsion, especially when he indulged my fantasies.
He was the
only man – male creature – in my life. I sighed in appreciation of his
generous gifts. I often felt blessed when he allowed me to touch him … and
especially when he touched me.
Feeling the
tiny ridges of smooth, metallic armor that wrapped his skin, I wondered who or
what he really was, his intentions for me. “Why do you visit me? What am I to
you?”
{{Pledge
absolute devotion to me and I promise you the key to the universe, Tesorina.}}
I loved the resonating timbre of his deep, melodic voice, especially when he
played seduction games. I enjoyed his flirtatious affections, but Mithra’s
insistent demand remained constant.
He’d made
this request many times, and in my heart, I’d pledged devotion to him many
times over. I hesitated to say the words aloud. Someday I might give him what
he asked for, if I knew how. For the moment, I desired something else. “I don’t
want the keys to the universe. I want you, here. For real.”
{{What would
you do to have me? To be together?}}
“Tell me
what to do. What do you need?” My ethereal dream hands flowed over the hard
lines of his chest and abs, then up to his golden face. I traced his powerful
jaw and shoulders, hungry to know every part of him. While men bragged about
their six-packs, Mithra flexed an eight-pack of the gods. He was huge, strong
as an ox. I imagined he stood well over eight or nine feet. I wished he would
step out of my dreams and into my life, but at least I had him here, now.
My nipples
hard, breathing heavily, I wetted for him. Though I’d never been with a man, my
body knew what it needed. I squirmed with the heat of my arousal, ready to
pledge anything he asked, if only he’d touch me more.
{{A time will
come when you must travel and face many challenges. There will be danger and
great risk. You are not yet prepared.}}
“Show me how
to prepare. Teach me.”
His warm
chuckle spread across me in a tingling sensation. I wrestled with my bed sheets
as tendrils of pleasure made me spasm with an intense, quivering need to feel
him inside me.
{{Your
eagerness serves me well. Soon, you will know me fully.}}
* * * *
Mithra
removed his dimensio
gear and gradually disengaged from the perturbateur platform that helped him harness
the power resources to peel away wavelengths of space-time. The rippling
graviton vibrations ceased and local space-time normalized as it had for the
past two hundred years of his life. Utterly predictable and disappointing.
He looked
down at his uncomfortably hard groin and yearned for a shower. More frequently,
his visits to Ashley left him agonized with need for a lover. He considered a
visit to the harem at Sitri’s palace.
He chuckled.
“My sweet Tesorina, how you torment me.”
Mindless
indulgence in sex was not the Vedic way, but his seductive attentions to Ashley
served a double-edged blade cutting him with desire. Ashley’s dependence on him
had become his primary focus – a mutual addiction they shared. For months now
their connection had grown strong and steady. Night by night, his mind
penetrated deeper into the substrate of her consciousness, coiling her will
around his own, taking a vital role in her life. Her emotional need for his
presence slowly bypassed her mental defenses. Though Ashley was a quiet,
unassuming person, he had sparked a passionate flame of desire inside her. Now
his body burned with the same.
They had
never been closer in spirit and harmony, and he’d never found anyone with her
latent capabilities. So much untapped potential... He sensed the tides of
destiny sweeping towards them. He would soon bind his Tesorina to him,
and prepare her for the journey that would lead them face to face.
