Pyrotechnics
expert, Serena Upton, wonders if she’s been transported into one of the science
fiction movies she works on. It certainly seems so when she’s rescued by three
hot, naked men from another planet. She’s whisked away to Loraleaf, their home
in the jungle of Eden, with the expectation that she will become their beloved.
As they cater to her in every way, she begins to understand what it means to be
their chosen one.
Jahl and Khaos
risked everything, even the brother of their heart, to bring Serena home, but
grief and self-doubt, etched in stone by their own families, seems
insurmountable. Their only hope is that she can fill the void in their lives.
They succeed in sweeping her up in their erotic passion, but they are unable to
capture her heart.
Though Serena cares
for Jahl and Khaos, she’s convinced she’s not the answer to their damaged
souls. It’s better that she return to her family on Earth before she cares too
much. That is, if she doesn't already.
Khaos dropped
Serena’s hand, the emotions roiling through him difficult to contain. No one
ever asked about his family. He moved away from her, unseeing. The pain he kept
buried daily rose up and closed his throat. Family was not a comfort to him but
a source of anguish. The image of his mother’s gaze as she looked at him with
disgust and fear flashed through his mind and he balled his fists.
Desperately, he
forced himself to swallow. Don’t let her see your shame.
“Khaos?” The touch
of her hand on his shoulder sent a shudder through him. She was happiness and
love. Everything he craved to give her. He couldn't let her see he wasn't worth
hers in return.
He should turn
around. Smile at her. Not yet. She’ll see it in your eyes. He forced his
fingers to relax and crossed his hand over his chest to grasp hers. Soft.
Delicate. Some of his stiffness eased. “I didn't know you were close to your
family. Do you miss them?”
Her other hand
rested on his arm. “Sometimes. Well, mostly when I’m afraid or unsure. They’re
like a comfy blanket. You know, a safe place.”
He closed his eyes
as he envisioned what that might be like. Serena wrapping him in her arms was
the image he envisioned. His lips twitched and he turned toward her. “I hope
you consider being with us a safe place too.”
“I do now. At first
I wasn't so sure. I mean, you came out of nowhere. But you saved me and you've
welcomed me into your home. I’m very grateful.”
He stared into her
round amber eyes, so large for her delicate face and so honest. He wanted more
than her appreciation. He touched her cheek hesitantly, watching for any sign
of withdrawal.
She turned her face
into his palm and his heart skidded in response. To love her, touch her
everywhere, would be paradise. He wanted her to look at him with need.
She broke away. “I
think we should get to work, don’t you? We have a few items on our to-do list
and Jahl, Toni and Sandale could arrive at any moment. We don’t want to be
caught with our pants down.”
“What?”
She looked at him,
her gaze wandering down the length of his body, causing a rush of blood to flow
to his groin. Her gaze stopped on his stiffening cock.
She swiftly raised
her eyes to his face. “Never mind. Let’s just try to focus on what we need to
do.”
He allowed himself
a crooked smile. That he distracted her sent a warmth around his heart. Maybe
Sandale was right. Maybe he could be worthy of her.
