A Warning from someone who knows...
“We all like to believe we are masters of our fate.
However, usually it isn’t true. Somewhere, a person exists, sometimes
completely unknown to you, whose slightest action impacts your life.”
Blurb
Billionaire David Ross has created a
sanctuary for an alien species that superficially resembles Earth’s black
panther. This race is superior in both strength and longevity to humans.
David’s plan is to seed a new world with the offspring of these aliens and
selected humans. Contrary to the covenants of the project, he sends a special
young woman named Jesse to the island against her will. Her arrival changes
more than he planned.
Excerpt
Jesse awoke to the pleasant sensation
of warm rough tongues washing her body and a chorus of purrs. She opened her
eyes to discover the sensation of heaviness on her body was no longer due to
paralysis, rather to the addition of eight cubs draped across her as they
affectionately licked and cleaned her hairless skin.
The moment she shifted her head, all
eight disappeared underneath the bed. However, a second later, one head popped
back up, followed quickly by another. They all looked the same. Yet when she
concentrated on them, she could sense their differences. The first one was bold
and brave. The second was more cautious, but very ambitious and thus determined
to keep up with the bold one name, Tegra.
She mentally asked the cautious one his
name, and he replied ‘Basil.’ Knowing she could hear him, he proceeded to
chatter non-stop about how they had found her in their nursery and were
debating whether she might be dinner.
I’m
family, not dinner, she replied in a panic.
She felt the laughter of all the cubs.
Basil had been teasing her. They knew very well that she was their new nanny.
What
happened to the old nanny? Jesse asked with sudden concern.
The question caused the cubs to mew in
distress. Within seconds, a tall blonde woman arrived and picked up Basil and
soothed him. “It’s all right,” she assured him and then looked at Jesse with
mistrust. “What did you say to them?”
Jesse tried to explain, but her voice
had not yet returned, nor could she speak in the woman’s mind.
The woman looked chagrined and sat down
on the edge of the bed. “I’m sorry. I forgot you could not speak. Can you move
at all yet?”
Jesse raised her hand and petted Basil.
He purred in return.
“Something wrong?” Mike asked from the
door.
“The children were mewing in distress”
the woman said.
Jesse could hear the accusation in the
woman’s voice. She thought the new girl was to blame and she held Mike
responsible because he was the one that insisted Jesse was fit to be the cubs’
nanny.
Jesse reached out for Mike’s hand as he
approached her. They mewed when I asked them what they had done to their
prior nanny.
Mike stared at her in momentary
surprise. Her ability to speak in his mind surprised him, but so had her
question to the cubs.
“Why did you ask that?”
She could sense his distress as well. I
was only teasing. The cubs had teased that they had thought me dinner, so I
teased them in return.
“Their prior nanny died,” he explained.
“They feel responsible…”
Why?
He looked around at the cubs all
waiting for his reply. “It was not their fault and that is all I will say just
now.”
She realized it was not a topic of
discussion before the children and let it lie. Still, she wondered what the
children had done to make them feel responsible for their nanny’s death.
She sensed a change in Mike. His eyes
dilated as he stared at her naked body. His pants gave signs of an erection.
Normally, she was a very modest person, but even now, when she could reach for
the sheet to cover herself, she did not. The truth was, she enjoyed the
sensation of his admiration.
“Catina, will you take the children to
their dinner?”
“Mike, you know the rules…” Catina
warned.
“I know them. Will you take the
children?”
She gave him a warning look but did as
he asked.
Once Catina and the children were gone,
Jesse asked, what rule are you
contemplating breaking?
Mike laughed aloud. “Not me. I always
obey the rules,” he assured her. He reached down and helped her up from the bed,
then carried her to the mats where he laid her down. “We are going to work on
your muscles, so you’ll recover faster.”
