Releasing May 14 - Clan Companions: Gabriel

 A little distraction

Gabriel was in heaven every second of the day. He could wander the freighter holding Takat’s hand or with Kisk’s arm around his shoulders, in front of everyone. He could kiss Baknu in the crowded dining hall. He was free.

Free.

Even now, Gabriel couldn’t have been happier. All he was doing was watching Takat play a game on his entertainment console while Baknu read from the vast library stored on his handheld. Kisk was running risk scenarios on his device. It was quiet. Domestic. Nonetheless, Gabriel could have shouted for joy.

Baknu sat on the mat, absentmindedly stroking his hair. Takat sat cross-legged by the Earther, their legs in contact. Kisk, who normally hated to be still, splayed on the floor, using Gabriel’s thigh for a pillow.

Heaven. Absolute paradise.

Baknu cleared his throat. Takat immediately paused his game. Kisk set his handheld aside and sat up, looking at their Dramok expectantly. Gabriel also turned his attention to the clan leader.

“Is your crew still sorting Cargo Bay Three, my Imdiko?”

Baknu’s tone was as mild as ever. Despite the lack of censure, Takat winced and colored. “Yeah. It’s me that’s holding things up, no one else. I’m a little behind, but everything will be organized before we dock.”

“Don’t worry. I can’t focus when Gabriel’s in the vicinity either.” Baknu’s amused attention shifted to their Earther, who gaped with surprise. “You require a project, my beauty, to keep you busy—and away from us—during duty hours.”

He’d just been reveling in how perfect life was. Gabriel pouted. “Maybe you need better control.”

“That’s true, but you’re asking a lot. To see you is to want you.”

After fleeing Earth’s Mercy Colony six years before, Gabriel Rossi and his sister Iliana have carved out a decent life on a remote Adraf space station. Each avoids contact with other humans as much as possible. Gabriel’s life is adequate, but he yearns to be free to love as he was born to.

Clan Baknu has been tasked with convincing Iliana to return to Kalquor with them to join a clan. But when Baknu, Takat, and Kisk meet her stunning older brother, they’re eager to claim an Earther companion of their own.

Though Gabriel falls for the three men on sight, his priority is Iliana, who’s less than enthralled about joining a Kalquorian clan. Worse still, a sadistic slave trader is determined to claim Gabriel for purposes too terrible to imagine.

Clan Baknu pulls out all the stops to convince the Rossis that they can find love and happiness among the Kalquorians. They dare death to keep Gabriel out of the grasp of a murderous crime lord, who won’t stop until the Earther is his. Yet their greatest challenge is showing Gabriel dreams can come true…if he’ll accept their love.
