Excerpt

Chapter 1

Talin

SKY

“So, you’re finally back” Maya called out to her best friend Sky.
Yeah. Thought Sky. Finally back in Talin!
The two friends have visited this medieval festival, which is held over 2 weeks, for 8 years in a row with their group, the Setarips. They’ve always been the same team, only Sky wasn’t a part of the party for the last two years. She is thrilled to be finally on this journey with her friends again. The last two years were a living hell for her.
Don’t think about that! She forced herself to let go of the past and to focus on the future awaiting her. Gregor, the self-appointed leader of her group, called out “Ladies and Gents, let’s get moving! We will begin with the big tent. Come over here now!” Like all the years before, everyone pitched in and their accommodation for the next 14 days was erected in three hours. The campsite included a big, black sleeping tent with room for up to 20 people, a smaller tent leading to it and a black yurt style tent with a good 50-foot circumference. Once everything was set up, Maya, Alexa, Zoey, and Nina arranged candles, blankets and trunks around the tent to make it cozier. Jack and Taylor dedicated themselves to securing wood and straw from the storage area. Gregor had already begun to sort out the campfire.
Sky sat slightly off to the side on a small quilt and took a break to enjoy the atmosphere of the campsite and the surroundings of Talin.
She felt on and off being watched by someone, even though upon looking around, there was no one there. There was just this horrible feeling that something was amiss. Her heart was racing and it seemed difficult to keep her breathing under control. Sky had such anxiety that it all would start over again. She thought about it constantly.
After a few minutes, Fabio, her best friend from their days in diapers, sat down next to her and her anxiety vanished.
“You good?”
“Totally!” She answered. It didn’t sound as convincing, as she wanted it to, but she had simply drifted too far away in thoughts.
“Sky...”
“No really Fabio. I’m fine, better than fine! I was just deep in thought for a moment, but all I want is to keep looking forward.” Sky interrupted her best friend.
“Okay babe, but please let me know, if you need any help! And don’t let me know when it is almost too late again!”
The dig at her ability to ask for help was something that she cannot fault him for. She leaned against him and together they enjoyed watching what was going on around the campsite.
Sky loved to cuddle in his arms. Much too long had she had to endure without his company.

RYAN

“Ryan, Ryan, we are here!”
He saw Alex, his best friend from Germany, wave at him from afar. He parked his black Porsche Cayenne on the curb by the big wall, which divided the grounds into two. Then he walked the rest of the 220 yards where he was to spend the next two weeks.
It’s his whole year’s vacation time since he took over his father’s firm 11 years ago. He was only 18 years old and had hardly gotten a day off since then.
Ryan had promised his father right before he died, that he would do everything in his power to preserve the business. He was happy to do it. Ryan loved the responsibility and he loved to not be under anyone else’s control. Of course, he enjoyed the comforts that came along with being one of the most successful businessmen of Boston as well. He was happy to grind away for money and girls.
Despite all of it he was happy to put that stuff aside for a couple of weeks. He looked forward to being among 5000 equally medieval crazy peers for two weeks. Without those fake friends, who only wanted to ride on his coat tails. There would also be no gold-digging girls, who would do anything to hook up, in hopes of being supported by him. Here, he could just be himself. Just Ryan and not Ryan Black, top young businessman and Boston’s most eligible bachelor.
He reached Alex and his group and was welcomed by all. After some more hugs, slaps on the backs and pleasant small talk, Ryan tried to get an overview of the space. His verdict was: Total chaos!
“Hey man, Alex, how long have you guys been here?” He asked.
“Hmm... about 3 hours? The guys and I wanted to toast our reunion.” Alex grinned. Chris came to greet Ryan and simultaneously placed a cold beer in his hand. For most of the group, the time in Talin would be their only chance for relaxation. Nobody had any intention of getting stressed by anything.
It had already gotten dark and they finally needed to set up camp.
“It’s no use guys, we must begin to set up now.” A mutual grumble and moan spread through the group, even though, everyone quickly finished their beer and began the rather unpleasant job of setting up.

My soul is black, my heart is grim, and my mind is made up. Love’s a culprit to my sadistic tendencies.
I wait to get to the edge of the end of the driveway before taking a right down the road, and that’s when I let me engine go.
I fly down the path, my cut whipping from the wind, and I begin to think about my target, what I want, who I want, and why.

Author Bio


K.L. Savage decided they were tired of looking for the kind of books they wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and as every girl knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.

They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women they love.
If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.

Excerpt/Teaser

After checking into the hotel, I decided to go all out for this weekend. My friends will be in tomorrow for the wedding. Tonight, I have the penthouse suite all to myself. Well, not myself. I walk toward Lennox, he was waiting in the bar area. That rugged smirk appears across his face. I approach him, “I’m on the very top floor. 1305. Let’s go.”
I grab his hand and lead him to the elevator. When we get into the elevator, I pounce on him causing him to startle back. Our lips interlock. Our tongues start dancing. My hand reaches down to his belt buckle, I start to fiddle with it. He pulls away. My teeth clench down on his bottom lip. “Fuck, woman. Anxious much?” he groans, as I release his lip. 
I purr, “You’re all my tonight. So be ready?”
“Well, okay then,” he smirks. 
The elevator door opens up and we walk down the long, dim-light hallaway. It was like a scene from a music video. While holding his hand, I lead him down the orangish-red carpet to my room at the end. It’s been too damn long since I have been with a man. Jonathon was my last. After the divorce, my focus with my children and career. Tonight is going to be different. My focus is getting fucked while fucking his brain out. All this built up tension is about to unleash on this poor pup. Jonathon might have been the last man I fucked but that doesn’t mean I’m not shy when exploring more. I’m going to make Lennox my bitch tonight. I love that he is on board. Men, they truly think with their second head. 
We make it to the door. While I fiddle with my phone to get the room barcode to open the door, he wraps his strong arm around me and squeezes me, bringing me close to his body. His breath hits my neck causing my body to shiver. Then hello lips, he nibbles my neck. Goodness, I need the code asap. Finally, the barcode appears in my wallet and I open the door. Both of us dragging our luggage, we stumble into the suite. He releases me from his hold. I turn around, pushing my luggage to the floor. He stands just a few feet from the doorway. I demand, “Close the door. But first put up the sign that says ‘Do Not Disturb’.”
