WIP Wednesday - Clan Companions: Joseph

              “I’m sorry.”
              Almon halted next to the seating fixture and regarded its miserable occupant with surprise. “For what?”
              “For all this. You had to leave work for me, then you felt you needed to defend me from that investigator when I was the cause of his brother’s death—”
              “Stop. Just stop.” The last thing Almon could bear was Joseph’s voice rising in a prelude to a bout of self-hatred. The episodes during which the Earther tore himself apart for the wrongs he’d committed had grown fewer over the last two years, thank the ancestors. However, that day’s incident and Dramok Kavug’s accusations had every chance of sending Joseph into a dark pit of guilt, with no hope of deliverance.
              The worst of it was that Almon couldn’t tell his lover not to beat himself up over what he’d done as captain of the battlecruiser. Joseph’s inability to stand up against orders he’d known were wrong had led to the deaths of many of Almon’s shipmates, as well as horrors for those who’d lived through the imprisonment.

Warriors of Risnar: Worlds Collide Now Available

An unintended abduction…

The astonishment in her expression was replaced by growing fear. No woman had ever looked at Jape with fright before. He was a bolep, an enforcer and warrior, charged with keeping others safe. Although he’d failed in that task spectacularly three months before, he still saw himself as the kind of man who defended the vulnerable. That this delicate creature thought he would consider harming her was a blow to his pride.

Why do you care if she fears you? Most Earthlings have proven themselves to be untrustworthy. She doesnt know you. Shes projecting what she herself could be guilty of.

Still, he couldn’t cope with the failure of his mission and her cringing at the same time. The pod would take care of itself now that it was on its way to its destination, allowing Jape to ignore the vessel’s workings. He could focus on his unintended passenger.

He folded his arms over his chest and snorted at the Earthling. He spoke loud enough for the ship’s translator program to decipher for her. “I will not harm you. I will return you to your planet as soon as I can.”

She blinked to hear her language spoken in his deep, carrying voice. Her alarm edged down a notch, and she spoke in a husky alto that thrummed through Jape’s gut. “Why did you kidnap me in the first place?”

The golden flecks in her eyes were a match for the portal passage’s flickers in the windows. They flashed brighter as she spoke. Fires of her spirit, strong despite her uncertainty. Jape swallowed.
“You weren’t supposed to be there.”


Engineer Velia Farrah always wanted to see an alien up close. Now that she’s assigned to study the top secret portal linking Earth to other worlds, she’ll get her chance. But when a fierce, gold-skinned alien from Risnar leaps from the portal and whisks her back to his home planet, “up close” takes on a whole new meaning.  

Believing Earthlings had killed his fellow warriors, Jape Bolep is determined to destroy Earth’s access to Risnar once and for all. Grabbing a curvy handful of a human wasn’t part of the plan, but he has no intention of letting her distract him from his need for vengeance—no matter how much he aches to make her his.

Both are ready to do battle over right and wrong and good and evil, and their combustible relationship burns hotter than the sun's surface. But distrust and treachery from all sides leave Velia and Jape in a fight against their own people to keep each other alive—and to ultimately save both Earth and Risnar from total destruction.

Monday Motivation

I'm such a failure. Really, really, an absolute failure. I failed so many relationships, I've lost count. I failed to finish my second stint at college, falling ill and not returning as I'd sworn I would. I failed to take care of my financial life, ending up basically homeless and relying on other people's floors to sleep on at one point. I failed at job after job after job. It's pathetic, if I think about it.

Ah, but those failures weren't mere losses. They weren't the end of the world (though they felt like they were when they happened). They were all stepping stones to get me where I am now. They were proof that I was trying. I learned from them.

Relationship failures happened. I'm now happily married to a guy who's been there for me for over 22 years. Education failures happened. Despite not finishing the second college round, I got work in my field anyway, because sometimes it's what you know and not the piece of paper you hold. Financial failures happened, more than once. I don't live like a Rockefeller, but I paid off my house within nine years and am currently debt free. I failed at various jobs, even was fired. I now do the work I feel I was born to do and make a living at it.

I fail. But I don't give up. And though it might take more time to see the results I want, I get better each year. And that leads to success, in the long (sometimes very long) run. But I get there. You will too. Failure by failure, you'll build up to your success.

Warriors of Risnar: Worlds Collide - Tails

Meanwhile, he tugged her shorts down, along with her panties. When his arms would only reach so far, leaving the fabric hung up beneath her knees, Velia automatically started to bend her legs to help. Jape needed no assistance. As her clothing slipped down her calves, Velia glanced down.

Tails. I forgot he can grow tails.

One of the two slender appendages curled around the waistbands of her shorts and underwear and flicked them lazily across the room. Then it mirrored its twin by twining around her ankles.

The coils rubbed up and down her calves, squeezing the muscles as if giving her a massage. It might have been relaxing if not for Jape’s continued attentions to her breasts. He kissed and rubbed and sucked and licked, making her writhe as tingling heat flared. More than once, she stopped herself from gripping his shoulders or mane. Her body sang under his touch. Waves of excitement washed through her, throbbing in a sweet ache that made her both eager for more and desperate to escape before it drove her insane with longing.

As apologies went, Jape could have won clemency for murder.
