Spark Making Him Miserable
I was trying to make this venture as miserable for him as possible.The Pyre Army completely surrounded me, and Gray now had a rope tied around my wrist and his. Making me walk next to him.So, I walked as slow as possible.In-fact I’d tripped over a rock and now limped, slowing my pace even more.Purely by accident, of course.He was giving me several annoyed, sideways glances.The knights were looking at me like they planned on having me for their next meal. All of them watching me. Their eyes boreing into my back.I thought about taunting them, flirting with them to see if I could get one to turn on Gray. But logic kept me from doing that.There’s no guarantee if they can overpower him, I wouldn’t end up being entertainment for the whole army.That thought made me a little queasy, my stomach heaved.“Stop looking around for a way to escape.”“Fine.” I looked up at him sullenly. “Just tell me how than.”He snorted. “Since when do you consider me an ally?”“I don’t.”“Then why would
Spark Chaos & A Caravan
What if he wants to take me here, in-front of all of them? That thought was petrifying.They’d all want a turn.I knew there was as many of them as the road was wide and straining back for as far as I could see until the next hill dipped.Too many.I’d never survive.My breaths were ragged, and I stared at him fearfully.Don’t break me. Not here. Not with them watching.His thumb rubbed over my cheek. “Surrender to me, Baby Girl. You may be surprised what happens.”I yanked backward shoving his touch away. “Nothing you could ever do would surprise me anymore. If you’re going to take me to your vile king, let’s just get there and get this over with.But that wasn’t what I was thinking.I was thinking I had to get away from him before dark.I knew how deceptive Gray could be. Sweet touches, tender kisses, every soft word that’d have a woman melting and then the twist of the knife.It was a lesson I’d never forget.Not after I lost everything.He stole it all from me.***We topped the n
Spark Only Escape
Staring at the bush as I waited for a bit of movement. I looked up at Gray. “Can I pee before we continue?"His suspicious look burned into my soul.“A woman has to pee, Gray. Not everything is more complicated than that.”“It is with you.” He wasn’t fooled for a moment.He nodded toward the trees behind us.I lifted my wrist. Pointing out that his was still hooked to it.“I’ll go with you.”“No!”“Yes.”“Leave me a hint of dignity, Gray.” I demanded.His brow lowered. Distrust written over every corner of his features. His jaw ticked and I sensed he had something cruel to say.I waited for it. Prepared to deliver a scathing retort. I had no intention of giving ground on this.He reached into a sheath under his right arm and pulled out a curved blade. Twirling it in his fingers before catching it in a fist. Giving me a dark look as he swept it up between our lists.My gaze didn’t waver on him, knowing he was too precise to ever nick me.There was a sudden, painful flash of a sunlit tr
Spark Go with Gray
I ducked behind a wall of bushes, peering over them to see Gray was a few trees away with his back turned. I could just see the blue of his cloak and one shoulder, visible around the tree.He was the only one that wore the blue cloak, so I knew it was him.I turned around and adjusted my clothes enough to squat down to pee. Figuring he could probably hear me from the distance away he was. I finished peeing and put my clothes back on. Staying low as I went to a nearby puddle and quietly scrubbed my hands.Just when I was expecting Gray to call to me asking what I was doing, he was suddenly next to me.“Time to go.” He snapped just as a howling wind swept through the trees. Snatching my upper arm he began dragging me further into the trees.I leapt from my skin. Pulling at his grip because it had startled me.And because it’s Gray.But his head turned to look at me and I noticed his movements were slower. More stilted and rough.Gray always moved like a predator. His head whipping, when
Spark Straight to Kareni
Ouch. That was my first thought upon waking up. My head throbbed.I was on the back of a horse. Strung over it and tied at my ankles and wrists. I recognized the mount as the one that had been friendly enough to tolerate me before.A nice horse really.My head was humming. And I could see a bit of blood on my shoulder from where my head had seeped.They’d hit me with a rock. That much was clear.I lifted my head as much as the pain would allow and saw that we were surrounded by more horses. At least two skins rode horses nearby.“Why did she send them?” Verias was asking his brother.“She didn’t trust we’d bring her back.” Reimus said from next to me. Nodding toward me, I assumed.“I don’t want to give her to the woman.” Verias said.“I, neither.”“How are we going to get rid of the Skins?” Verias whispered.“We’ll have to kill them when we get a bit closer. Right now we need to keep moving as far away from the Pyre Army as we can. Soon as the horse’s have rested a bit more, we’ll run
Spark Mages & Madams
The mage lifted through the water. His long hair draping his face and over his shoulders as his watery frame lifted from the water.Brown and clear water rolled down over him, completely outlining his shimmering frame. He swung his arms and created a strange whirlwind which created a dust storm from the dirt around us, sweeping it up between the Feral Fey and I in a way I could escape them.“Come to me, Spark. I will tend you, keep you! Come to me!” He pleaded. Reaching out toward me.I just barely ducked his reach. “Orin, no!”I dodged another hand trying to grasp me as I fled from his reach.“Come back, Spark. I’ve missed you…” I knew that haunting note in his voice. Knew that he was every bit as bad as the King Eternus.Except I have been in Orin’s dungeon. His plaything for nearly a fortnight.“Orin, don’t!” I’d gone from the pan to the fire. Now he was intent on driving me back into his clutches.Into that trough.***Orin sent up a wall of water next to me to cut off my way to t
Spark Captivity
Catching one of her black ringlets, Kareni wound it around her finger thoughtfully. Wrapping her other arm beneath bountiful breasts. The dark ebony hue of her shining skin drawing attention to the tops of the globes which nearly spilled from the loose bodice of her dress. “I must admit, I can see why Orin was fascinated with you, perhaps not why obsessed…But interested…”“I don’t want Orin, Kareni.”“You were his lover.”I sneered at the word. Couldn’t be further from the truth.“I wasn’t his lover. I was his prisoner.”“You are all he speaks of.”“That is not my doing.”“You are all he desires. He can no longer attain his passions with me. He must have skinnier girls with pale flesh.” She purred. “Ones that he can imagine are you.”“Again. Not my doing.”“Wouldn’t it be nice if you could return things to the way they were. Between he and I.”“I know you loved him.”“Yes, you did.”“I thought he was my friend.”“Until he took you captive?” She said a bit askance.“That is generally t
Spark Promised Already
Goblins. I winced.I silenced but gave her a defiant look.Her dark brown eyes slid down to my lips just above my small pointed chin. She lowered hers to them and pressed her mouth to mine. Caressing her lips over mine.“Mmm. You do taste as sweet as the rumors say.” She crooned. “And I can feel the heat of you, the light when I close my eyes, from just being near you. You are indeed, intoxicating.”I blinked at her. Sighing heavily. Great.“I will let him have you. But after, I will come to fetch my own taste of the pretty Spark.” She reached to slap the top of one bobbing breast.I hissed at the sharp flicker of pain. “Now wash those pretty parts for him, My Dear.”She pointed beneath the water.Closing my eyes in mortification, I took the rag she offered to me in her other hand. Wondering where it had been before, I tried not to think about it as I washed myself.“Why do you keep doing that.” She pointed to my left hand which was still spinning lazy circles in the water.“To keep t
