War and posttraumatic stress disorder has broken his spirit, preventing him from finding true happiness. Then a direct order from the queen to investigate an uprising forces him out of his secluded cabin at the edge of the forest.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Patience is an optimistic, good-natured Wood Nymph who works as a mediator to ensure harmony within the Nymph sector. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Environmental pollution in the aquifer stream that feeds the taproot tree of her heart is slowly killing her. Resigned to the fact she will not live long, she sets out to discover the mysterious disappearance of her sister. Experience has taught her to deny herself the love of a male, but the gruff Centaur is different. He doesn&#8217;t push his expectations on her, only his healing nature.<\/p>\n<p>When Rhycious loses his grip on reality, he believes his inability to control his disorder will drive Patience away. Nevertheless, desire flares, and Patience draws him close.

Much as she hated flames, her body burned hot enough to internally combust.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rhycious!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she cried out, going for a scolding tone. But it came across like a sensual invitation.<\/p>\n<p>His arm tightened around her waist, drawing her the wasted millimeter of space nearer. Patience\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mind spun. A man who wanted her was holding her in his arms. She closed her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>His mouth traveled up her throat, licking and sucking, until he settled over her lips once more. Persistent and demanding, his tongue slid along the seam until she complied and opened.<\/p>\n<p>He charged right in like a Centaur warrior would, drawing her tongue into battle with his. Feinting and parrying, they slid sensuously against one another.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153My gods, Patience. You taste so damn good.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nAnd Rhycious tasted of pure Elysium, sending a tingle of exquisite warmth to a spot deep within her. A breathless tension coiled. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your coffee tastes better than mine.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>His hand cupping her bottom alternated between kneading the cheek and rubbing sumptuous circles. The clench of desire increased between her thighs. She moaned her approval. His other hand traveled upward from her waist and settled under the heavy fall of hair, massaging the base of her skull.<\/p>\n<p>Rhycious backed her up until her knees hit the couch, and buckled. He followed her down, arranging her body to stretch out beneath him, his hips spreading her thighs wide. Leaning on one elbow, he used his free hand to push the hair off her face. His feral gleam intensified, and his tawny eyes bore into hers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rhycious.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She was drunk with longing and unable to string words together\u00e2\u20ac\u201dbut she didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to talk anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yeah, sweetheart. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m here.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Through his shirt, the contractions of his back muscles splayed and moved under her fingers. The scent of clean, warm male filled her senses. His bulge rubbed over her panties, stoking her raging fire, and his massaging hand moved from her neck to cup a breast. He plucked at her nipple with a thumb and forefinger.<\/p>\n<p>Patience whimpered her thirst for him. Goose flesh exploded over her body, and slammed into her pussy, causing it to seep with need. Reaching up, she drew his head lower to kiss his lips and slipped the string of leather out of his hair.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You feel incredible,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said. His shoulder length strands slithered through her fingers\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsmooth and silky. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your hair is so soft.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He evoked emotions she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d never felt before, and she dared herself to discover more with this man.<\/p>\n<p>Taking possession of his mouth again, she had just found his tongue when she abruptly arched her neck and broke away to gasp. His cock rode her, building the pressure below. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Touch me more,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I love the way your hands feel on my skin.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Insistent lips burned a path to her ear. A wet swirl traced the curved shape. He nipped her neck, and then licked the sting, all while pushing against her, simulating the love act.<\/p>\n<p>His hard breath came fast, matching hers in tempo. She spread her thighs wide and raised them higher on his waist, tilting her hips to receive maximum stimulation. Behind the zipper of his jeans, his erection hit her clit and she cried out.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Gods, I want in you so bad, Patience,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Rhys voice rumbled, adding to her sexual tension.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u201dI don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know how to talk anymore; coherent thought became impossible. Flames burned a path that followed his traveling hand. His fingers were taking a walk, heading south, past her waist and up her splayed leg. A light stroke skimmed over her knee and down the inside of her thigh.<\/p>\n<p>Carried away by the fire coursing through her veins, Patience gyrated her hips toward his seeking fingers, not knowing what she needed, but moaning her frustration at his lack of speed. The tension within her grew. Her hands caressed his back, touching every available inch.<\/p>\n<p>When he finally made contact with her damp panties, Rhy groaned and leaned to the side, making room for his hand. Up and down, he stroked the material over her slit before cupping her tight. Then he slipped his fingers under the elastic edge.<\/p>\n<p>He played so close to her core. Craving blasted her into an orbit around the planet. Curious about foreplay she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d only whispered about with Daisy, she burned for the intimate details now.<\/p>\n<p>Lightly, he skimmed her outer folds.<\/p>\n<p>Patience lifted her eyelids halfway, arousal weighing them down. Stark desire flamed in Rhy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes, his features drawn tight, pained. She could barely breathe.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I feel so . . . hot inside.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She managed to rasp out.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Gods, woman. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say shit like that.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d No sooner had the threat left his mouth, when his slick fingers breached and entered the slippery realm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buy the book from:<\/strong><br \/>\nAmazon: <a href=\"http:\/\/is.gd\/sktnSH\">http:\/\/is.gd\/sktnSH<\/a><br \/>\nPrint: <a href=\"http:\/\/is.gd\/s03Lhi\">http:\/\/is.gd\/s03Lhi<\/a><br \/>\nBarnes &amp; Noble: <a href=\"http:\/\/is.gd\/BEPhdh\">http:\/\/is.gd\/BEPhdh<\/a><br \/>\nSmashwords: <a href=\"http:\/\/is.gd\/TFOtIq\">http:\/\/is.gd\/TFOtIq<\/a><br \/>\nARe: <a href=\"http:\/\/is.gd\/wtSZhc\">http:\/\/is.gd\/wtSZhc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2445\" title=\"Sheri Fredricks\" src=\"http:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Author-Image-3-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Author-Image-3-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Author-Image-3-764x1024.jpg 764w, https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Author-Image-3.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/>About Sheri Fredricks<\/strong><br \/>\nAlways on the hunt for the uncommon things in life, award-winning author Sheri Fredricks thrives on creating adventures in her mythological kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>A former engineering secretary, Sheri lives on California\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s beautiful central coast. &#8220;I wanted to move away from inflexible right angles and create an unboxed world with no boundaries.&#8221; A voracious reader since her early years, Sheri found her brain crowded with stories and characters of her own. &#8220;Ultimately,&#8221; she says, &#8220;my husband encouraged me to write them all down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sheri loves to spend time at home.
