Spark Strange Solace
“It’s okay.” I told the boy. Noting the clear remorse on his face. “Go home.”I worried far less about him going home now that I knew he was a monster that could fend for himself. And I theorized that if he’d been sent to market alone, it was because he resided close enough that his parents had believed he’d make it safely.I hoped.I heeled the horse, which was already tugging at the rein in objection to my guidance. I could feel the hair sticking up along its back and side, grating against my legs.It didn’t like me riding it. But thankfully, it was particularly gentle, or it wouldn’t have let me get this far on its back.Not when every instinct it has, is telling it I’m a monster.I led it straight for the Center Country Harbor. Riding as hard as I could go. I’d always avoided this part of Ferus because it was highly populated cities. Which always made it more difficult for me. I preferred to stay far from those.I was already beginning to shake and sweat slightly at the thought. B
Spark Limited Rest
I suddenly needed a moment alone. Feeling grateful for the safety of the cave and Lionel’s presence. But saddened that the comfort of a dress had not lasted even twenty-four hours and I was naked and unprotected for the rest of my journey.It meant I had much more work to do.I’ll have to find clothes first thing.I sighed.Making Lionel’s head spin from the entrance to observe me.I knew he could see me vividly in the dark. His eyes shined purplish in the fading light. Reminding me of that fact.He was waiting to see what was wrong.“I need moss.” I told Lionel. “I have to make the ring. A bit of lavender to keep Craven away.”His shadow nodded and he slipped out the crevice.Standing in there alone, I could hear the water dripping far in the distance.Deeper in the cave.I caught the wafting smell of sulfur that told me most of this cave had once been filled with water.Even under my feet was stone.And it was cold. I knew it was only going to get colder as night fell.Near the crev
Spark Feral Fey
I did notice that the one in the water with me had brown eyes and the one on the bank had a lighter color.Blue or green, probably.The one in the water with me, pushed me up onto the bank. The other grabbed me under the armpits and tugged me up onto the mud.“Whoo…” The one on the bank gave a half whistle. “Far prettier than Kareni let on.”Kareni. There wasn’t enough profanity in all the world to express what I was feeling that moment.Of course, she sent them.The madam was the most awful woman in Ferus history, I was certain.“Who are you?” I said in annoyance.“Reimus.” The brown eyed one said.“Verias.” The green eyed one added.“Feral Fey.” I sighed. Knowing how violent the breed could be.Reimus who still had a grip on my hips nodded.Verias tipped his head to look down at me.“We’re going to have a bit of fun with you before we take you to Kareni.”“Fine.” I said tight lipped. Shaking my head in aggravation. “But don’t finish in me. And be quick so we can be on our way before
Spark Devious
He looked from my face to himself entering me.I sensed his helplessness.Please. I willed him to withdraw.Verias gave me a disgusted look but withdrew and slapped himself along the curve of my thigh and hip to massage himself along the crease made there until he spurted up onto my hip.“Thank you.” I breathed near his ear.He frowned. Looking as though he’d pout. “I want more.”They always do.“Good boy.” I unwrapped my legs from around him and let them hang limply. Making the ropes dig into my wrists.Reimus was tying his pants closed. Tipped forward to tug at the laces.Verias stepped back to do the same. Lifting them back up over his slim, pale hips. His member still glistening with a bit of his fluid.“What are we going to do with her?”“Take her to Kareni and get the rest of our coin.”“We can’t take her like this though?”“Why not?”“We’ll have to fight to keep her. We walk around Feral Fey Country with her wearing nothing, someone will want her bad enough to steal her.”Reimu
Spark Rescued, Then Not
Gray descended like a thundercloud and Verias who was thinner and shorter only had time to throw his hands up in surrender before Gray hit him with an uppercut that knocked Verias off his feet and backward.“Stop!” He crawled backward with a hand still up.Lot of good that show of cowardice has done so far. Why keep trying?“Our prince will avenge us.”“I’m quite familiar with Prince Teros.” Gray said. “And I doubt he’d be particularly protective of you.” Gray followed with a vicious kick that dropped Verias limply to the dirt.I pulled up my pants and shoved the shirt down as Gray whirled around to come at me. Blue cape flying and gold chain mail shining as brightly as his gold-blonde hair as he stalked back to me. Putting a finger in my face. “I let you play your games. I give you, your freedom to find your own path, and what do you do?”I lifted my hands and shrugged. “Go for a morning stroll?”“The hell you did. You land your fool ass right in the hands of some kind of brute. I le
Spark Failed Negotiations
“Come back with me, Baby Girl. Don’t make me make you.”“Hell will freeze over before I go with you!” I shrieked up at him.“With the amount of ice coming off your little black heart, should happen soon enough.” He braced himself and caught my other wrist despite my efforts to wave it out of his reach. Adjusting his grip so both were in one of his large fists. He reached one thick thumb to swipe under my eye and collect the dampness from the outer corner before it could slip down my face.“You really did have a rough morning, didn’t you?”“I just want left alone.”His face flashed with what might have been sympathy. But it was gone as fast as I’d thought I’d seen it. “That’s never going to happen. You know that. There’s nothing I can do...”“You could leave me alone.” I softened. Pleading. “You could take your army and go back to the king. Tell him I’m dead.”Gray hesitated a moment. “He’d never believe that, Fiere. Everyone knows you’re surprisingly resilient. I’m not sure, at this p
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
