VALAN'S BONDMATE (Zarronian Warriors 1)
By Mardi Maxwell
Blurb:
A Warrior with a
Grudge…
At thirty-one Valan
Erikson is a fierce and relentless warrior. He's never lost a battle but he's losing
the war with the mating fever raging in his body. He's accepted that his death
is imminent until he's told a compatible race of females has been found. When
he discovers they're Wrothian he refuses to take one as a mate until the
Council threatens to strip him of his warrior status.
A Female Who Wants to
Escape Her Fate…
Lia ad-San's sire has
arranged to trade her to, Gorm ad-Jai, a man she despises. Before she can
escape she's abducted by a fierce warrior. Unaware that her sire caused the
deaths of the Zarronian females, including Valan's mother and twin sister, she
reveals her identity and demands to be freed.
A Complication They
Didn't Expect…
Enraged to be bonded
to the daughter of his most hated enemy, Valan treats Lia as a prisoner rather
than a beloved bondmate. When the Zarronians learn her identity they demand she
be punished for her sire's war crimes. Valan realizes too late that he's
endangered his mate's life. The fever they share will keep them together but
only love can make them want each other.

Adult Excerpt:
The tears on her cheeks affected him
in a way no others' ever had. He wiped them away, sighed, and cuddled her to
his chest. The fever in his blood urged him to take her and quench the fire.
Now, he'd touched her he'd lose his mind if he didn’t have her.
She cuddled closer and he knew she
was as affected by the fever as he was, so he raised her head and lowered his
mouth to hers. He nipped then sucked on her lower lip then slid his tongue
along the seam of her lips. She opened for him. When he began exploring her
mouth with his tongue she tentatively responded, pursuing his tongue and the
taste of his mouth. As the kiss went on and her body grew hotter she slid her
arms around his shoulders and stroked his head. He groaned into her mouth when
she combed her fingers through his hair and down to his shoulders. One kiss
followed another and her resistance melted away.
Exploring her body, he followed the
curve of her spine from nape to buttocks, then back again. The other swept over
her legs and gripped her hip. Everywhere he touched left a trail of fire and a
blue mist glowing on her skin. She squirmed against him. Easing her away, he ignored her squeak of
protest when he swept her gown over her head and dropped it to the floor.
He stroked his hand up and down her
legs from ankle to thigh, and then fastened on a honey-gold buttock and
squeezed. His other hand cupped the back of her head and pulled her mouth to
his. Her panting breaths matched his as he combed his fingers through her long
hair, arranging it in a fiery cloud around them. He palmed her breast and she
pushed against him and moaned when his fingers stroked over her nipples.
Valan kissed a path down her neck.
Licking and nipping the tender skin, he slowly moved to a tight coral bud and
licked. She shivered and moaned. He closed his lips around her nipple and
hungrily suckled. She [MC1] sighed
with pleasure and held his mouth against her breast.
Waves of heat rose from her body
feeding his fever. He slid his hand down her belly and over her bare mound,
enjoying the feel of her smooth satiny flesh. Sliding his fingers between her
legs, he nudged them further apart. He groaned, then stroked his finger between
her silky folds coating his fingers in her moisture. She widened her legs and
rocked against his hand when he stroked her swollen clit.
"Valan, oh, Valan." Her
voice soft and full of need.
He sucked on a velvety nipple and
slid the tip of one finger into her tight sheath. As he thrust his finger
deeper she pulled his mouth away from her breast, and kissed him. Her lips slid
over his, nipping them. He opened his mouth and she stroked his tongue with
hers as she rocked her hips against his hand.
"So hot. Burning. I need—Valan,
help me." She planted frantic kisses on his face and neck, then licked a
path to his ear and bit the lobe. "Help me."
Valan thrust a second finger into
her. She moaned and arched against him, digging her fingernails into his shoulders
as she strained for release.
He grasped one of her hands and slid
it down his body. "Touch me."
Lia curled her fingers over him and
squeezed his cock through the supple leather of his pants. He groaned and
carried her to the bed. She clung to him when he tried to lower her onto the
mattress. Setting her on her knees, he undressed while she placed wild kisses
over his chest and belly, then he tumbled her onto her back and came down over
her. Spreading her legs, he looked at her pussy, and lifted her hips to his
mouth and licked her. Her cream coated his tongue, the taste igniting a burning
hot flame in his lower belly. Then lowered his mouth to her slit and licked the
smooth flesh, swirling his tongue over her clit.
"Valan."
Her breath came in hard pants and
her pulse beat in the soft lips he licked. He closed his lips around her clit
and sucked. She screamed and grabbed his head holding him against her. He
chuckled knowing his lips would vibrate around her clit. She screamed again
with pleasure. He gave her one last swipe of his tongue before kissing up her
body to her mouth. While kissing her, he slid one arm beneath her shoulders and
the other beneath her buttocks holding her tightly. He found her opening with
the tip of his shaft and pressed against her, slowly inching into her.
Lia tried to pull away at first then
pressed her body toward his. He grasped her hip and held her immobile as he
thrust into her, each time going deeper. Her body was tight, but accepted him
as if she'd been made for him.
She moaned and looked into his eyes.
He pinned her beneath him and held her still as they kissed and he thrust
deeper. He caressed the velvety coral tip of one breast. "Wrap your legs
around my waist, Lia." [MC1]

Author Bio
I love the quirky and
the unique. I believe in UFOs, ghosts, and that we have a moon station on the
dark side of the moon. lol I have a wonderful son and DIL who have been kind
enough (after much badgering and hinting around) to give me three lovely grandchildren.
I'm a very young grandma ;-)
I've loved reading
since I was a little girl although just about every book I ever read I rewrote
in my mind. After a while I decided to just start writing my own books. My best
friend dared me to send one in, so I did and to my surprise it was accepted.
I love books that
make you laugh, cry, sit on the edge of your chair in fear that the couple
won't work it out, and then finally cheer for them when they do. I'm a true
believer in a happy ending and won't read a book or watch a movie that ends any
other way.
I write every day but
I always find time to spend with my family and friends as well as my hobbies
(cooking, gardening, traveling, and ceramics).
My personal motto is
"Regret is a wasted emotion." Live well and happy reading.
