Today we've got April Vine and her erotic romance "Taken by the Barbarian" over for a visit. Saraska seems to have gotten herself into a spot of trouble for refusing to do her chores. Let's see what happens.
If he thought she would obediently
stay for her punishment, he didn’t know her at all and this time nothing he
said would stop her from leaving. His commands to stay, to come back at once
and she’d be sorry if she didn’t, trailed behind her. All she needed was her
bed.
“Saraska.” The magnificent power
and overwhelming dictatorial strength in his tone as he bellowed her name
finally stopped her dead in the path.
He had never uttered her name
before and saying it that way instilled a unique quality in her to obey him.
She feared him because he was an unknown and yet in that same instance, some
other force compelled her to submit to him, if only to see what her name
falling from his lips did to his face if he said it gently and with kindness.
Slowly she turned around and found
herself staring at his wide hard chest. How had he closed the distance between
them so silently?
“You have not been eating.” He
didn’t ask the question; he stated it as a fact.
She said nothing, crossing her
arms over her chest again as a meager attempt to protect herself from him. He
raised her chin with his finger and her spine threatened to fold with a
thousand tingles.
“Look at me when I talk to you,”
he said. Why couldn’t she stop her eyelids from flickering open and staring
into his dark green gaze, like an abyss of the forbidden?
“You can’t make me eat, Alien,”
she said, defiance making her braver.
“I can make you do anything I want
you to do, slave.”
She swallowed but maintained her
brave face. So far he done exactly as he chose when it came to her, never
asking her feeling or opinion. He dictated and expected his demands to be
executed. Well, she was not one of his subjects. She would never be, no matter
how much he tried to break her. She was an Actual born princess. And he was a
barbaric Alien Warlord.
“Then I object,” she said. “Since
you’ve so generously given me to Jacob, he should be the one to discipline me
and not you. I am his slave after
all.”
“You would rather let someone else
touch you?” The ripple in his hard square and inexorable jaw frightened her as
did the low threatening husk in his voice, but only for a moment.
“I would have anyone who is not
you, touch me.” She jerked away from him but didn’t flee to safety even though
her mind begged her to do so.
“Will you clean the sus-sty, water
the crops, bake the bread, wash the clothes, and feed the galluses?”
“No,” she said and raised her
head.
He gripped the back of the chair
Gertrude sat in sometimes as she feed those feathered things that looked like
birds of a very strange variety but couldn’t fly. They called them galluses.
She knew all this because Gertrude would tell her things about her bizarre
planet every night. She fell asleep for those short bouts of sleep to the sound
of the kind lady’s voice.
He dropped his body into the seat,
his long legs spread wide.
“On Sentara, disobedience will
earn you a spanking. As a resident you are required to follow the rules. Now
lift your nightdress and lie over my lap,” he instructed.
Blurb:
Having spent her life confined
behind the walls of an opulent palace where she could be kept safe and pure,
twenty-year-old Princess Saraska is innocent, naïve, and utterly unprepared for
what is in store when she is taken captive by Roark, the barbarian ruler of the
planet Sentara.
To her surprise, Saraska quickly
discovers that while Roark will not hesitate to bare her bottom and spank her
thoroughly any time he feels it necessary, the tall, handsome king is far from
the ruthless savage she expected. His stern discipline and his bold, intimate
exploration of her virgin body leave her quivering with need, and when at last
he claims her completely his skilled, dominant lovemaking brings her pleasure
more intense than she could have ever imagined.
Though Saraska grew up believing her
people were peaceful, she soon begins to realize that she has been lied to her
entire life. But when her own father conspires to turn her against Roark, will
Saraska see through his schemes and trust in the man she has grown to love?
