UNEARTHLY DESIRE
BOOK FIVE – OUTLAWED REALM
Erotic Urban Fantasy Romance
 
 
AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FMQ2JVKG
 
Blurb:
 
They’re fighting for their lives, freedom, and love…in the realm of the dead.
 
Eeete, a pleasure slave, thought she’d found freedom in an underwater colony until a hated Palace guard abducted her for his carnal pleasure. Swept with him through a portal into E3, she faces danger from the deceased, grotesque monsters, and a dimension where few things are as they seem and nothing can be trusted…including her own desire.
 
Running from sure death, she comes upon Makam, another guard, sentenced to E3 for treason against their dimension’s depraved ruler. She’s determined to hate him—as she does all men who imprisoned her in the Palace—but survival depends on them fighting together.
 
Curious about Makam’s seeming honor and tempted by his untamed allure, she soon falls under his sensual spell, their nights filled with unrestrained passion, their days spent trying to stay alive…an increasingly impossible struggle.
 
When all appears lost, an unexpected chance allows hope for them to flee together toward a promising future.
 
Until a shocking secret threatens to tear them apart forever.
 
 
 

EXCERPT
 
 
Her breath spilled out. She trembled, her teeth chattering.

The pods halted then turned to the sound.

With her hand pressed against her mouth, she warned herself not to panic or give up. She never had in the Palace no matter what she’d faced. She’d survived.

If she expected to do so here and return to Zekin and Paige, she’d have to figure this realm out on her own.

First, though, she needed to eat. Dizzy from hunger, her mouth cottony and needing water, she struggled to her knees in the narrow hiding place but didn’t leave.

The pods drifted into and out of her sight, their numbers reduced over time. Whether minutes or hours had passed she didn’t know.

Once alone and unable to wait any longer, she crept from the crevice then searched the surroundings, hoping to find a drop of water, a plant, or whatever would make her throat and stomach stop hurting.

Red globes speckled a grayish mound. They reminded her of berries she’d eaten in the Palace.
Her mouth watered, wanting their succulent sweetness.

She plucked several free and crammed them between her lips.

A grainy texture greeted her, the globes hard.

Rocks, not berries.

She spit them out and swiped tears off her cheeks. Crying wouldn’t help her find a portal to get out of here. Caution and a thorough search would.

After edging around the rocks, she stopped at a tiny pool resembling water. How to tell for certain though without tasting it.

Hunkered next to the puddle, she sniffed. There wasn’t an odor, the same as water. Still…
Not yet convinced she could drink it, she used a longish rock to stir the liquid, hoping insects wouldn’t rise to the surface.

They didn’t.

Hissing and spitting, the liquid ate away the end of the rock.
She dropped the stone and scooted back on her ass.

“Hungry?”

The thin voice resembled whistling wind.

On her feet, she gaped at the pods that followed her here.

The male, who led the rest, released his arm and hand from the pod. “Hungry?”

Her stomach rumbled in answer.

“Try this.” Blinking slowly, like the rest, he peeled off his bottom lip.

She shuddered, bile rising to her throat.

The male smiled, the area where his lower lip had been leaving a gaping, bloodless hole. “It’s good. The best bread there is.”

“That’s your lip, not bread!”

Shocked at her outburst, she covered her mouth, wanting to run.

The swaying pods mesmerized her, keeping her in place.

“No, this is bread.” He offered the pale flesh to her. “Soft, warm, and sweet. Try it, please. No need to go hungry.”

Her stomach cramped worse than earlier. She licked her parched lips.

“Eat this and I’ll give you more…however much you want.” He peeled off his top lip.
No, not his lip, a piece of bread. She recognized it now. The same as the rich, chewy kind rulers and elites ate in the Palace.

Starving, she accepted both pieces and lifted them to her mouth.

“No!”

The tall guard from earlier slapped the food from her hand. “Don’t ever touch that.”

The bread landed in a dank puddle.

Eeete growled. “What have you done!?” Her throaty voice—unused to speaking that hadn’t been allowed in the Palace—was clear and hard now. “Stay away. That’s mine.”

She scrambled after the food.

He tugged her back. “Don’t you understand? The dead will lie to you.”

“But you won’t? Bastard.” A word Paige used for men she loathed. “You’re lying to take my food. Find your own.”

Eeete rammed her shoulder against his chest.

He lost his balance and windmilled his arms to right himself.

She dove for the bread.
​
He was on her in a second, shouting, “Eating any of the dead will doom you to an eternity here. A place a thousand times worse than what you knew in the Pleasure Palace.”
