I'm featuring Cara Bristol on my blog today, and she is sharing an excerpt from her new release Terran with us!
Terran, a sci-fi spanking “capture”
romance by Cara Bristol
After
fleeing heartache on Terra, Tara Diehl has adjusted to male-dominated
Parseon better than most vendors until she is kidnapped by Alpha
Marlix, a ruling commander. At first her tall, muscled abductor
terrifies her, especially when he doesn’t hesitate to quell her
struggle for freedom with some force. When her attempts to escape
fail, she decides to seduce her way to freedom.
But
out of seduction and subterfuge grow a true intimacy that cause
Marlix and Tara to take action that drives Parseon to the brink of
civil war, threatening not only their relationship, but also their
lives.
Terran,
the second book in the Breeder sci-fi series, is a “capture”
romance involving a domineering but hunky alien, a female with a bad
dye job and an even worse attitude, hot sex, and spanking. It can be
read as a stand-alone.
An
excerpt from Terran
by Cara Bristol
“Yes. My God, Tara, you were
attacked.” He dropped his voice to a hoarse whisper. “Did they
rape you?”
“No,” she lied. She squeezed her
eyes shut against Ramon’s shoulder. She’d been pinned to the
ground. They had sodomized her with their fingers—they just hadn’t
gotten around to the rest of it, because the Commander had
intervened. She recalled his growl, his shadow. The boot on her back
had lifted, and her attacker had flown through the air. She’d heard
a thud and a snap, and then the pounding of feet as the
other two attackers had scrambled away.
Only Alpha remained. Though he’d
saved her, the rage and intent to harm that enlarged his already huge
body had terrified her, and she’d fled, as much from him as the
attack.
“You’re bleeding,” Ramon said,
and she became aware of searing pain in her legs, back, and chest.
They’d cut her when they had sliced at her clothing and had
pummeled her with their fists and feet. “You need medical
attention. I’m calling Security.”
“No!” came a gravelly shout.
Ramon started, but Tara did not. Hadn’t
she known all along he would follow her?
“I will handle this.” There was no
mistaking the threat in the gaze the Alpha cast upon Ramon. “Leave
us.”
A brave Ramon shook his head. “No,
I’m staying.”
Aggression shimmered off the Commander
in waves. Ramon was wiry but little match for most men on Terra, let
alone an Alpha. She had little doubt how he would fare in a
confrontation. Again, she pictured her attacker sailing through the
air as if the Commander had thrown a stuffed toy and not a live adult
male.
She opened her mouth to reassure her
shop mate she would be okay, but before she could speak, the
Commander yanked her out of Ramon’s protective embrace and slung
her over his shoulder. The Alpha stalked out of her shop into the
Bazaar.
She could hear Ramon yelling.
Shock and fear paralyzed her. Hard
sinew and bone shifted beneath her abdomen as the Commander carried
her as if her weight posed no burden. She stared at the moving
ground. His arm across her thighs immobilized her legs. The flannel
with which Ramon had covered her trussed her arms. Tara found her
voice. “Let me go! Where are you taking me?” Had he saved her
only to rape her himself? Along with amusement and derision, there’d
been lust in his eyes during their fabric transaction.
The Commander ignored her.
Tara worked her arms free of the
flannel and punched at his legs. “Put me down, now!”
He growled and struck her ass hard
three times.
She hit him again.
He retaliated.
For every blow she landed against him,
he tripled with his own.
“Help! Somebody, please help,” she
screamed, knowing it was in vain. Not a single person had come to her
rescue during the attack by the betas, and no one would oppose an
Alpha. Parseons would not, and though shock registered on the faces
of her fellow vendors, the Commander moved too swiftly for them to do
anything—if they had dared. Her fear rising, Tara began to cry.
Before she knew it, they had exited the
Bazaar, left the Market, and boarded the sky tram.
