As Sunday is Mother’s Day in North America, I thought we’d look at some Mom-themed snippets this week.
Today’s snippet is from Dark Strength and is a nod to all of the wonderful furbaby Moms in Romanceland.
“She’ll make it. Won’t you?” His female talked to the puffker. “You’re tough like I am, a survivor. The bad males won’t end your lifespan.”
Fraggin’ hole. She was already attached to the creature.
He slipped one of his palms under the puffker. It tried to bite him, couldn’t pierce his thick skin with its tiny teeth, its growls more cute than menacing.
“We’re friends.” His female attempted to ease its fear. “We won’t ever hurt you.”
The puffker stared at her with wide eyes. Its nose twitched.
“She understands us.” Elyce beamed. “She knows we’re her friends.”
“Pull your flight suit down until the fabric covers your fingers.” The puffker might be able to understand them but he wasn’t taking any risks with his female. “And cup your hands.”
She did as he instructed. He transferred the little creature to her palms. It immediately expressed its unhappiness with that action, sinking its teeth into the cloth.
“She’s holding on.” His female held a different view of the puffker’s attack.
“Hold onto her also.” And he, in turn, would hold onto Elyce. He swung her into his arms, relishing the feel of her against him.
“I won’t let go.” She gazed down at her little bundle. “You can count on me, Balvan. I won’t disappoint you.”
“You could never disappoint me.” He kissed the top of her head as he walked with her.
Elyce relayed that kiss to the puffker’s fluffy head. “Where are we going? Are we taking her home?”
Home. His female thought of their domicile as her home.
“Yes, we’re taking her home.” His voice was gruff with emotion.

Dark Strength
The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall.
Balvan, the Refuge’s Gatekeeper, is huge, green, and has a reputation for crushing skulls. He’s a modified humanoid, genetically designed to be the ultimate warrior. One of a kind and considered monstrous by many, he never expects to find his mate, the one female meant for him.
Elyce, snatched from her home half a solar cycle ago, has finally escaped her brutal captors. She arrives at the Refuge barely alive. Only a blood transfusion from the largest male she has ever seen will save her life. But it will also bind her to him forever. Staring up, up, up at him, she wonders why she wants to be free. His gentle touch revives yearnings she thought dead. His lips set her skin ablaze. His massive muscles make her feel safe.
That feeling could be an illusion. Elyce’s captors want their slave back and they won’t stop until they have her. To give his mate her freedom, Balvan might be forced to give up everything he has – his role as the Gatekeeper, Elyce’s love, and his life.
Dark Strength is a STANDALONE Alien SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes violent universe.
