The other nations in the sector remained well-aware that Tildar was quite protective of anyone with Tildari blood, regardless of where those individuals resided.

Happy 2014 – New Content Soon!

fireworksHappy New Year!  I hope 2014 got off to a rocking start for you.  I’ve been doing  some massive overhaul to the site and it’s looking much sharper! 😉

At the end of 2013, I took a break for a while but I’m ready to start posting again!

In 2014, look for the conclusions of Balance, The Architect’s Guardian and Vaironian Tides.  I’ll also be updating Afterlife, which is a newer story.  Plus, there will be much more!

 

Balance: Chapter 30

Kouta and Ryuu spend some quiet moments together, before the premiere, in Balance, Chapter 30.  Here’s a bit:

Kouta smiled when he saw appreciation dawn in Ryuu eyes. Though his lover was still blurry eyed from his nap, the presence of a special dessert for him was reviving him. Kouta had made a treat that consisted of warm, flakey, baked pastry, strawberries and vanilla ice cream. Knowing Ryuu’s habits well, he’d been able to time everything perfectly.

The Architect’s Guardian: Chapter 36

Izdahl is being especially obnoxious but Armando doesn’t let him get away with too much, in The Architect’s Guardian, Chapter 36. Here’s a portion:

Izdahl cursed, when he realized his arrogant mistake. Armando was right and Izdahl could already feel that his libido was rising, which mainly accounted for how aggressive he’d been. The energy that coursed through him now could sometimes be incredibly difficult to handle. Sex was his preferred way to reduce the tension. But, he’d upset Armando and knew that his lover had a similar level of stubbornness as him. He sighed and resigned himself to suffering through the long night.

Vaironian Tides: Chapter 30

Tolrek blames Beilon for his mother being shot, which takes the official and Darion by surprise, in  Vaironian Tides, Chapter 30. Here’s an excerpt:

Beilon stared into Tolrek’s eyes, half-mystified and half-chilled, as Tolrek’s irises darkened to a malevolent greenish black. A ripple of energy that represented Tolrek’s craving to maim surged around him. His hands closed around Beilon’s throat, as he fixated on his target, wanting to feel the life drain out of him.

The Architect’s Guardian: Chapter 35

Armando remembers more details surrounding the death of his parents in The Architect’s Guardian, Chapter 35. Here’s a portion:

“When I was in the hospital, someone came to see me,” Armando began. “I’d felt that he shouldn’t have been there. I’d just awoken and he was standing over me. I’d opened my eyes and saw him, he’d smiled. I’d recognized him as the Nitelge who’d grabbed my arm during the night my parents had died. He’d waved a hand over my face and said a few words that sounded like a spell. I’d tried to push him away but then blacked out. For years, every time I’ve tried to describe to others what happened my head would hurt so badly. Eventually, I gave up, thinking I’d just imagined it all.”

Balance: Chapter 29

Kouta and Ryuu share some salacious details about their past, in Balance, Chapter 29. Here’s a bit:

Ryuu pushed another pillow behind his head, as he stared off into space. Kouta became further intrigued. He wanted to know more about what was causing the expression on his lover’s face. Ryuu had a wide grin on his face, like he was reliving an extremely pleasant memory.

Vaironian Tides: Chapter 29

Those who are working against Darion and Tolrek, commit another act to hurt the couple, in Vaironian Tides, Chapter 29. Here’s an excerpt:

As Tolrek escorted his mother to his car, he surreptitiously looked around the perimeter of her house, spotting the agents that had been assigned to protect her. They’d all been made aware of his decision to take his mother in public, something that rarely happened.
