After yesterday's short break, Alpha's Claim week is still going strong! Today I have here with me author Morgan King and her story Love's Rescue from the M/F version of the anthology. Welcome Morgan!
Love’s Rescue
One night while attending a party hosted by Jon Liselle, newly
appointed second in command of the Human Alliance Party, Jakob hears a song
that no one else can. With stealth and cunning Jakob makes his way into the
hidden depths of Jon's home, only to discover a creature being kept captive.
She is a mermaid and he is her song mate. Together they must both utilise their
shifter powers to escape, but will Nerissa stay with him or will she want to go
home once she is free? Jakob wants to claim Nerissa forever but fears rescuing
her from one cage only to trap her with his love. Nerissa must choose between
complete freedom and going home, or love and the destiny of having a mate.

It
all began with a piece of flash fiction, the word was opulent, the word limit
two hundred and this flew straight into my head:
The
tank was disgustingly opulent. It consumed one wall, floor to ceiling and was
decorated with swirling images of shells, coral and sea life all gilded in
pearl. The vast array of shimmering colors distracted his eyes momentarily, but
nothing could disguise the purpose of the chamber, it was a cage and its
captive swam towards the reinforced glass wall, her eyes open wide
reciprocating his stare. Her tail swished angrily back and forth, the color of
those moving scales so obviously matching the delicate pigment staining the
glass barrier.
One
word originating from somewhere outside of himself burst through his head
“Help!”
He
was looking at a mermaid and he could hear her voice as if she had spoken to
him.
It
resonated right to the depths of his heart.

Excerpt
Jakob lifted his torso up and looked down at Nerissa.
She was right. “That’s unbelievably sexy,” he said looking at iridescent colors
shimmering across her skin, the mounds of her breasts gleaming, her nipples
rising up like two hard little pearls polished to perfection. Unable to resist
he took one in his mouth and sucked.
“You even taste of a sea breeze, salty and fresh.”
Jakob dragged his tongue across her flesh, from breast to navel. “I want to
taste all of you.”
Nerissa thrust her hips against him, and Jakob slowly
made his way down her body licking her smooth flesh with his rough tongue. He
took one of her legs and lifted it over his shoulder. For just a moment he
rested his head against her lower belly, as if humbling himself before a
shrine.
He wanted to breathe her in so her scent would never
leave him. He wanted to drink her taste, so it would forever linger on his
palate.
“Please … don’t stop.”
There was no danger of that.
And just in
case you’re thinking she’s a mermaid that could be tricky, clearly she shifts
to human form!
Hopefully you will love Love’s Rescue
and be pleased to know it’s going to be the first in a series: Paranormal
Rights.
Set
in Suffolk Paranormal Rights presents an
urban fantasy/alternate reality version of the East
of England (think sea, forest, factories, unique fantasy architecture, and
historic buildings).
Here there is a fight brewing between the tyrannical, racist and undemocratic human
society and the paranormal underclass. The political arena is the ring and the
showdown will be the forthcoming election.
About Morgan:
Well I like to
see myself as an infinitely patient single mother and charity manager by day
and reader and writer of erotic romance by night. I love all genres of romance,
but have a special tendre for historical stories having been seduced by Jane
Austen and Georgette Heyer at a young age. I even named my dog Darcy.
My son is a very
imaginative five year old, so when the characters aren’t having conversations
in my head I’m voicing the character of a witch, dragon, pirate or possibly
knight. Yes, I always get to be the bad guy for some reason! We live in the
rural East of England not far from the forest so there are always plenty of
opportunities for adventure.
