Sally Owens was content to spend her life
hiding in plain sight, as long as no one got too close or tried to wrestle the
reigns away from her that is…
When she goes out for a night on the town
to troll for the new Mr. Right Now, getting kidnapped and shipped out into
space was NOT what she had in mind. But above all else Sally is a survivor and
she soon comes up with a plan to thrive in this new world.
Arkenon Quinn, Courtesan Guild Master on
the planet of Sirus, is informed that one of the new human refugees wants to
join the Courtesan Guild and he was of course curious. However, when he meets
the audacious and beautiful Sally he finds himself signing up to be the one to
mentor her against his better judgement. What he could never have anticipated
was how quickly this fascinating creature would steal his heart and force him
to do something he’s never had to do before- chase a female.
Will Sally’s painful past keep her from
finding a future with the man who’s like no other she’s ever met? Or will she
have the strength to place her body and soul in Arkenon’s extremely capable
hands?

Excerpts:
Story Excerpt:
Sally made her way down the hall to the great room and
quickly noticed that she seemed to be the last one to join. Most were speaking
quietly in small groups, and a few were talking with the alien women that had
rejoined them. The hyper little woman with the pink hair from earlier, however,
seemed to be waiting for Sally to emerge because as soon as she spotted her,
she jumped up and rushed toward her in an excited waggle that reminded Sally of
a crazed squirrel looking for a place to stash her nuts.
“Hi, Sally!” the vibrating dynamo squeaked out. “So
did you figure out what you’re going to do? I’m going to study marine biology!
I’m so excited I could almost burst. I’ve always wanted to go to university but
could never afford it back home. Isn’t this just the greatest thing that could
ever happen?”
It was all Sally could do to not laugh outright at how
excited the odd little woman was. Devyn was literally out of breath and panting
when she finally stopped talking. The little dynamo obviously should be
medicated or something to bring down the ‘perk’, but what she’d said did make
Sally think about what was happening. Was this the greatest thing that could’ve
happened? Obviously not. But was it the worst thing that could’ve happened to
her? Sally had to take a hard look at her life as a whole. She wasn’t really
leaving anything behind on Earth, no job, no family, no pet even. The only real
friend that she had was Evie and she would be here with her, so there was
nothing to do but adapt to her new situation as best she could. That was one
thing life had taught her, you adapt or you get left behind.
“Yeah, that sounds great, Devyn. I’ve applied to enter
the courtesan guild here on Sirus, so I hope it works out,” she answered,
sounding much less enthusiastic than her neighbor.
“Oh.” Devyn’s eyes grew impossibly larger at that
information. “That sounds exciting. I heard that the Sirotians have some sort
of mind-control abilities. Guess that’s why they’re supposed to be the best at
seducing people, huh? I wonder if they can teach you that?”
That was news to Sally. But she had to assume in this
situation that she was no longer the smartest person in the room when it came
to learning about all these alien species. Good thing they were teaching
classes! But one of Sally’s hard, fast rules in life was, even if you don’t
know exactly what’s going on, fake it till you make it. Uncertainty was a show
of weakness that Sally had learned from a young age that she couldn’t indulge
in. Predators always went for the weak or confused in the herd, and Sally
wouldn’t ever be prey again.
“Well, Devyn, in my experience, as long as a man has a
penis, he’s generally not that hard to seduce,” she answered with a liberal
amount of sarcasm loud enough that a few of the other groups of women were
chuckling when they heard her comment.
“Ladies! Please take a seat, and we will begin with
your cultural and etiquette lessons. Now, there is a large amount of
information to absorb, so you will be taking these classes daily for the time
that you are with us, along with the curriculum for whichever career path you
have chosen,” Lady Samal said as she casually went to the front of the room. It
was obvious from her demeanor and grace that she had a lot of experience with
speaking in front of groups.
As the rest of the women found comfortable seats on
the low couches, Sally saw Caric come back into the room and speak in a low
tone to the older woman. Sally couldn’t hear what was said, but clearly,
whatever it was surprised Lady Samal from the look on her face. Then, when both
women immediately turned to look speculatively right at her, Sally assumed
Caric had just informed Lady Samal about her career choice. She couldn’t
understand why it was such a big deal, but if Lady Samal was involved in the
guild of her choice, she had better turn the charm on right now instead of
waiting for her interview. Better safe than sorry, right?
Sally immediately put on her game face, ready to
dazzle and distract with charm and charisma. Never frown. Never let them see what you’re really thinking or feeling.
After all, when you put on a show, people rarely look deeper than the façade
that you easily offer up. Sally could only hope that it wasn’t only human
nature that adhered to the “out of sight, out of mind” adage. So with her empty
bucket filled with bravado and bullshit, Sally smiled brightly, volunteered to
help with any demonstrations, and absorbed as much information as she possibly
could for the rest of the afternoon. As the women walked back to their rooms
after their dinner meal, Sal’s face actually hurt from smiling so much. She
couldn’t wait to get into her room and close the door so she could actually
breathe. It was exhausting being someone else all the time. For a fleeting
moment, Sally couldn’t help but wonder if this new world might be an
opportunity to try to be herself for a change, but almost before the thought
was done, it was replaced by all of the cruelty and disappointment that had
littered her childhood. No, she couldn’t take that risk again.
Adult Excerpt:
“Are you cold, love?” he said in a low whisper as he
ran the back of his fingers lightly up her arm, leaving goose bumps in their
wake.
Sally had learned in one of her classes that Sirotians
had a type of pheromone control that was frequently used in their seductions.
Initially she’d disregarded the possible effects, thinking that she had superior
self-control and it wouldn’t affect her, but as Arkenon’s warm, spicy scent
became stronger and stronger, all she wanted to do was roll around in it…and on
him. So much for her super self-control. Her policy of lying to everyone,
including herself, was once again coming back to bite her in the ass.
“Hmm, yeah…cold. I am a little cold now that you
mention it,” she answered, unable to stop the shiver that rolled down her body
and settled firmly in her now-very-wet pussy.
“You can lie to us both, little one, but I can smell
your desire,” he answered with a throaty low laugh. “If I were to run my hand
up your thigh right now under this beautiful dress, I know I would find your
pretty little pussy dripping with honey just for me.”
Sally’s legs almost buckled as she imagined him doing
just that and then pushing her up against the elevator wall and fucking her
hard and fast. She knew that when the doors opened and Benic stood there taking
in the scene before him that she hadn’t come anywhere close to masking the look
of desire on her face. Damn it! She needed to come so badly Sally was starting
to shake with the lust that was overtaking her. She assumed that this
overwhelming feeling could only mean that Arkenon was cheating and using his
Sirotian pheromone mumbo jumbo on her, freaking cheater. But as she turned her
head and saw his heavy-lidded look and felt his massive erection straining
against her thigh, she thought that perhaps he was turned on enough that he’d
forget their terms and just fuck her already. Might as well try, right? After
all, he was still a man, and most of the men she had experience with would cut
just about any corner when it came to getting a little action. Now it was time
to see if she could give his self-control the little shove it needed.
“Why don’t you see for yourself then, sir?” Sally
asked in a low, raspy tone as she widened her stance, inviting him to do just
that.
She tried not to look away from Arkenon’s face as he
slowly backed her out of the elevator and up against a wall in the foyer, but
out of the corner of her eye, she could see Benic raise an eyebrow at her
taunt, then smile and shake his head as he came closer to them.
*
* * *
Arkenon wasn’t surprised that Sally was trying to
tempt him into losing control of the situation. It was a tactical move that
he’d assumed she’d mastered throughout her previous relationship history with
submissive males. But he couldn’t say that he didn’t have a stronger reaction
than he’d expected, making him want to dominate her even more. He had a plan,
however, and he was sticking to it, and it started with Sally not keeping any
secrets from him.
He pushed her back against the wall and slowly pushed
her arms up above her head as he held her wrists in one of his hands, which he
could see made her pulse jump.
“Benic, please see that Sally’s arms stay right where
they are,” Ark said as the younger man stepped up to place his hand on Sally’s
wrists.
Then he took a half step back and smiled as he saw a
conflicted set of emotions run over Sally’s face. Her breathing was even more
erratic, and she struggled with herself to relax and let Benic bind her. Ark
could tell that she’d never let anyone restrict her movement before during
foreplay or sex. Her reaction was genuine, and the dominant male in him reveled
in the battle she was going through. When eventually he saw her mild panic move
from confusion into lust, he was satisfied to continue, and he stepped back up
to her, running his hands lightly along the sides of her breasts as he gently
kissed her neck.
Sally was so distracted by his mouth that she gasped
when his fingers quickly released the back of her dress and the green silk went
sliding down her body. He continued to let his fingertips slowly drag up and
down the sides of her chest until she was writhing in Benic’s grip.
“Please! Please touch me,” Sally said in a low whisper
full of desperation that she hated to admit.
“Touch you where, Sally?” Ark asked her as he still
used his fingertips to skim over first her breasts, then down her belly, and
along the tops of her thighs.
“You said you wanted to touch my pussy. That’s where I
need you,” she said in a whisper that had Benic, who was now standing beside
her, groaning softly.
Ark could only frown and shake his head at the younger
man, who’d fallen exactly into the obvious trap Sally had set. He had no doubt
that if it were just the two of them here that Benic would be enthusiastically
pumping balls deep between her thighs right now, giving her anything she
wanted. He’d have to get Galen to work on Benic’s self-control a little more
firmly. Sally’s eyes were closed, she was biting her lip in frustration, and it
was a beautiful thing to behold. Ark slowly trailed his finger down her
stomach, and when he got to her pussy, he had to stifle a groan himself when he
found her folds soaking wet and swollen. Slipping one finger gently through
the slickness, he gave her one light
pass, circling her plump clit, and then moved back to leave his hand resting on
her mound, which had her squirming in Benic’s grip again.
“Arkenon, please!” she whimpered, trying to arch up
into his hand.
“What happened at the end of our meal tonight that
upset you, Sally?” Ark asked her as he lightly teased the pad of his finger
along her drenched pussy.
When Sally stilled for a moment and frowned, he could
tell she was trying to clear her head to figure out what he’d just asked her.
When her face evened out again and she bit her lower lip and looked down at
him, he knew what she was going to say.
“It was nothing. I’m fine. I just need you to touch
me,” Sally answered, rubbing herself against him as much as she could.
“One more chance, love, will you trust me enough to
tell me what changed your mood?” he pushed.
He saw the lust slowly back down in her eyes, and the
determination and anger rose as she looked back at him.
“I said that I’m fine.
I don’t need you to fix me, Guild Master. I only need you to fuck me. Isn’t
that what you do?” she snapped back
at him.
Arkenon gave her a sad look, which only seemed to fuel
her anger further as she looked back at him and raised an eyebrow, daring him
to ask her again.
“Wrong answer, love,” Ark sighed as he leaned back and
rose to his feet. “Only trust gets rewarded here. Lies will leave you wanting.”

Bio:
Thanks so much for hosting my latest
release, Surrender. My name is Sarah Marsh and I am a science fiction erotica
writer. I’ve only been writing since last year, so I’m still fairly new to the
exciting world of publishing. I love reading all sorts of different genres, but
when I fell into my first paranormal series in high school (Anne Rice’s Vampire
Chronicles) I was hooked on the supernatural and my love of science fiction
grew from that same place. I’ve always been fascinated by ancient history and
folklore, I find it an endless fount of creative possibilities.
I live in British Columbia, and when I’m
not writing I have a ton of different hobbies that take the creative edge off.
I love to knit, and to paint. I’m still working full time in an office, but I
used to be a pastry chef so I do spend a lot of time cooking or baking. I love
creating new recipes, making chocolates is my favorite around the holidays.
I write what I love to read! So the
Coalition Mates series is a fun science fiction adventure, with a little humor
and a lot of heat, I hope that you enjoy them!
