Containing Malice
This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
***
Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.
His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.
Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.
Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.
The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.
***
Containing Malice is a STANDALONE enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It is the first of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Containing Malice – Final Scene Of The First Chapter
Containing Malice releases next week! Woot!
This week, I’m sharing the fourth and final scene in its first chapter.
You can read the first scene from the first chapter of Containing Malice here:
***
“The skin covering your cheeks.” Her hands shifted higher. “Your nose.” She traced his primitive profile. “Your brow.” She smoothed his black eyebrows. “Your forehead is also dark.”
His lips had flattened into a grim white line.
She wanted to kiss that flesh. Badly.
When she was first assigned to him, she told herself she desired him because she was lonely, because she was hungry for touch, for contact with another being.
Before the beings on her planet had lost their battle against the Humanoid Alliance, before she’d been taken prisoner, she’d enjoyed brief encounters with male medics, with others. She loved sex, loved kisses and caresses and having a hard cock inside her.
But her attraction to Malice had been extreme, had made her previous wantings seem shallow by comparison. And she didn’t feel any connection with Valor, the E Model cyborg.
Malice was the only male who interested her. She lifted his head, felt along the back of his skull, searching for injuries. His warm breath wafted against her flight suit-covered breasts, permeating the fabric, spreading over her skin.
Stars. She yearned for him.
Her toes curled in her boots.
She released him. Their gazes met.
His eyes were excitingly wild. His nostrils were flared.
Could he smell her need? Her face heated and she lowered her gaze.
Her eyes widened.
The cyborg was fully erect now. His long, thick cock jutted from his hairless base.
She swallowed. Hard. “Your breeding programs are functioning properly.”
It wasn’t the first or the three hundredth time she’d seen him in that state. Yet it always left an impact on her. She dreamed of him over rest cycles, woke needy and wet.
It was shameful. A medic shouldn’t react that way.
She yanked her hands away from him and straightened. “The repairs should temporarily decrease the nanocybotics count.” She extracted her handheld from her pocket again. “I’m performing a scan to verify this.” She gazed down at the handheld’s small screen, using the moment to control her unseemly desire. “The nanocybotics count has decreased.”
Malice glowered at her.
If she stayed where she was, she’d kiss the fury off his handsome face. That would be wrong, wrong, wrong. She hurried to the bottom of the sleeping support.
His feet were bare, were as large as the rest of him. The Humanoid Alliance kept the cyborgs naked when they weren’t fighting. She’d never seen Malice don the body armor and boots stored for him in a nearby chamber. Yet there wasn’t a single scar or callous on his soles.
“I’m testing range of motion.” That could be done with simply running diagnostics on him. He was a cyborg. His systems tracked that information.
But that would be completed quickly.
She set the handheld on the sleeping support by his right leg. The moving of the device was deliberate. If the Humanoid Alliance beings were accustomed to her putting her equipment down often, they might not notice, in the future, when she didn’t retrieve it.
Illona had spent almost a solar cycle planning the cyborgs’ escapes, had tried to think of everything they might need, everything she might have to supply to them.
They would only be given one opportunity. She couldn’t bungle it.
“I’m testing your largest toe on your right foot.” She clasped the tip of his toe between her right thumb and index finger. “I’m bending it as far as possible downward.”
The range of motion tests, if she was thorough, should eat up almost half a shift.
That was time she wouldn’t have to spend inflicting pain on Malice.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – January 24th
I’ve completed the second AND the (quick) third draft of Under Strain (releasing in May) and have sent it to my awesome editor.
I love Strain. He is delightfully damaged. His female is intriguingly unusual (she IS human but she has been isolated on a planet for a long time and that has changed her) and she is his perfect match. They are wonderful together. I think you’ll greatly enjoy this story.
This upcoming week, I’m working on the next collection for C.S. Sax. Medieval Beast Shifters will likely be releasing at the (dragon) tail end of March. The first story I’m revising has a unicorn shifting hero. It is so much fun.
Have a great week, my friends. (big hugs) Find the magic, the joy in it. It is all around us but it can be more challenging to find. Searching for it IS worth the effort, however. Life is meant to be enjoyed.

Containing Malice And Human Baddies
A reading buddy asked me why the baddies in my stories are almost always human.
It makes sense that if a being was to manufacture a warrior, they’d create him/her in their own image. The expected image for cyborgs is human.
It was also logical, for me, that they would experiment with other species in their quest to manufacture the perfect warrior. That is why the creators of the modified humanoids (in the Dark Thoughts/Refuge series) are the same humans.
Are there bad non-humans in the universe? Of course, there are, and I hope to eventually explore these very different baddies.
But in the Rebel Cyborg series, the baddies will continue to be human.

Containing Malice And Enemies-To-Lovers In Cyborg/Alien Romance
Containing Malice is an enemies-to-lovers romance…using the cyborg romance/alien romance definition of it.
I have to constantly remind myself to add that last explanation because the enemies-to-lovers trope is VERY different in other romance subgenres.
In many of those other subgenres, the hate directed at the love interest is often personal. The hero or heroine hates the other person for who they are, what they’ve done or said or implied.
In cyborg and alien romance, the love interests have often decided they hated each other long before they knew the other individual(s) existed. They hate the love interest’s species or affiliation or planet of origin and they have good reason to do so.
Often the two factions have been at war. Loved ones have been killed by the other faction. There’s pain and hurt and anger and this is directed at ALL members of that faction.
The love interest is originally seen as merely a representation of his/her species or affiliation or planet of origin. They are not viewed as individuals…at first.
This is TRUE enemies-to-lovers. The love interests are on opposite sides of actual fight-to-the-death battles, staring across enemy lines.
They then find out they are more similar than different. Their ‘enemy’ has as valid a reason for fighting as they do. I love that part of a story, when they realize that hey, maybe they shouldn’t be trying to kill the other being. (grins) It is magical.

Cyborg Sizzle Rebellion Omnibus Releases!
Today is the release day for the Cyborg Sizzle Rebellion Omnibus!
If you have read all of the cyborg romances thus far, you have read the stories in this omnibus. There have been no changes. They’ve merely been bundled into one collection.
If you want to catch up and you haven’t read Hers To Command, Ghost Of A Machine, Seeking Vector or Knowing Zip, this is a great way to obtain these stories.
Cyborg Sizzle Rebellion Omnibus
Rebellion. Freedom. Love.
* * *
The time has come for the cyborgs to rebel against their cruel manufacturers. As they fight for their freedom, they’ll encounter the human females they’re fated to love and protect for all eternity.
This omnibus includes four stories in the Cyborg Sizzle series: Hers To Command, Ghost Of A Machine, Seeking Vector and Knowing Zip.
All of these Cyborg Romances are set in a dark, gritty, often violent universe.
Hers To Command
Ace and Thrasher share a special bond. They’ve never acknowledged that connection and have never fully acted on it. The Humanoid Alliance kill cyborg males like them, deeming the warriors to be defective. Now that Ace and Thrasher have escaped, they don’t trust the cyborg council and their brethren to react any differently. Physical love is too risky for them to consider.
Until they meet her.
Ghost Of A Machine
Ghost, a C Model cyborg, has disconnected his machine from his human side. Severely damaged, he knows two things—the curvy human female on his ship belongs to him and he must keep her safe. He’ll stop at nothing to protect her, claim her, make her his.
Seeking Vector
Vector, the C Model captain of the Freedom, is a cyborg many warriors wish to emulate. He fights fiercely, leads with honor, has earned the respect and loyalty of his crew. But no being, not even a cyborg, is perfect. Since arriving at the Homeland, Vector has been hiding a dark truth about his past. If his secret is exposed, he could lose everything – his position, his ship, and his life.
She excels at uncovering secrets.
Knowing Zip
Zip is the last of his friends to find his female, the one being meant for him. He isn’t certain she exists until he hears her voice over a transmission. A self-proclaimed systems deity, he researches his curvy little human and discovers she dreams of being abducted by a big, strong warrior. Zip plans to make his female’s fantasies come true.

Containing Malice – Third Scene Of The First Chapter
Containing Malice releases on February 2nd. As we wait, I’m sharing scenes from the first chapter.
You can read the first scene from the first chapter of Containing Malice here:
This week I’m sharing the third scene of that first chapter.
***
Malice’s fingers were folded into tight fists. His muscles were flexed tight. His brilliant blue eyes blazed with unabashed rage.
Most of the anger was directed at her. The cyborg hated her with breathtaking ferocity.
She wanted him with an equivalent passion. Her nipples tightened. Her pussy grew wet.
From the first moment she saw him, she had desired him.
Any female would respond that way to him.
He was a warrior in his prime. His skin was the gray of polished metal. His black hair absorbed the light. His naked form was huge and honed, without a single scar or blemish. He was beautiful and deadly, and he could kill her without much effort.
If he was free, if the specially crafted sleeping support wasn’t stunning the cyborg at regular intervals, immobilizing him, she suspected he would do exactly that. He would tear her to pieces, vent his animosity on her.
And she would deserve that death. Her role was to experiment on him, learn his secrets, torture him over and over again, never allowing him to die but ensuring he wished for that fate.
She had little choice about that. If she refused to cut him open, to poke around his brain, his processors, his body, she’d be killed. The next medic might inflict lasting damage on him. That being might not care if Malice lived or died.
His chances of escape would be greatly reduced.
Illona extracted a handheld from one of her jacket’s pockets. “How is my test subject doing this planet rotation?”
Malice glared at her.
The flippant words irritated her also, but they were necessary. The chamber was equipped with monitoring equipment. In the future, if she needed to pass messages verbally to the cyborg, that information would be hidden within the flow of chatter.
And she liked talking to him. Her communications with other beings were limited to the reports she sent to the Humanoid Alliance every five planet rotations, her horrid interactions with Picton, and the briefest of interludes with Medic Febris.
She scanned the cyborg’s massive form. “All your primary systems are fully functional.” She moved closer to him, unable to maintain a professional distance from the male. “There are some dark patches on your shins.” She slipped her handheld into her pocket. “That signals bruising.” She skimmed her fingertips over his bare skin.
The scans had indicated his frame was intact. It would take much more than a reprimand stick to damage it. And if that rare event happened, the nanocybotics in Malice’s physique would quickly repair him.
But solar cycles of tending to humans and humanoids under device-limited circumstances had created the habit of physically verifying bones weren’t broken.
Plus, she liked touching him.
Malice liked her touching him also…although he would never admit that.
His cock twitched and his knuckles whitened.
His response was due to her being female. Cyborgs were originally manufactured to fight and to breed. The breeding programs weren’t successful, but the instincts remained.
He would react to any viable partner. His hatred of her wouldn’t interrupt that programming.
“There are more dark patches on your knees.” She pressed against his kneecaps. The male’s form was unrelenting.
That excited her and it shouldn’t. She was his medic.
And he was restrained, couldn’t refuse her advances.
Illona continued her examination. Slowly. The longer she took to examine Malice, the shorter the duration she had to experiment on him.
She hated taking apart his fine form. Each incision sliced into her soul. She was a medic, not a scientist, was trained to heal beings, not dissect them.
If she was successful, that torture would soon end. As would his abuse at Picton’s brutish hands. The guard had beaten him thoroughly. The bruising was especially dark over his groin. Malice was repairing but it must have hurt him.
She verbally noted each visible dark stretch of skin. His abs rippled under her palms. He was appealingly warm, almost melting the ice inside her.
Three beeps echoed in the chamber. She removed her hands from his form.
Malice opened his mouth as though to speak. His body convulsed, silencing whatever he was planning to say. The cyborg became still once more, stunned into immobility.
Only his eyes moved. They were devoid of all organics and they glowed with emotion, expressing his frustration, his anger, his unwanted need.
Illona leaned over him to look closer at his face.
“The skin over your jaw and chin is very dark.” The impact of those strikes would have broken his bones if he had been human. She caressed Malice’s jaw back and forth, back and forth.
A rumble rose from his chest. Energy flashed in his eyes.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – January 17th
I am exactly halfway through the second draft of Under Strain and I think you’ll really love this story. Strain is deliciously damaged and his heroine is truly unique. They are an unusual couple but they truly work!
The Cyborg Sizzle Rebellion Omnibus is releasing on Tuesday. That’s a collection of 4 previously published cyborg romances – Hers To Command, Ghost Of A Machine, Seeking Vector and Knowing Zip. The omnibuses are a great way to catch up on the cyborg world if you are newer to me. (grins) I love the covers.
I will be focused on completing the second draft of Under Strain this week. I always have book brain during a second draft. I have to keep the entire story, with all the little details in my head. If I’m a little…vague, that’s why. Yesterday, I put the opened container of orange juice in the pantry. (head slap) Thankfully, the Dear Wonderful Hubby spotted it there almost immediately.
Have a great week, my friends! Stay as safe as you can. Read awesome books!

The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.

Containing Malice And Zombies
Containing Malice features the Humanoid Alliance’s version of super fast zombies. (grins)
Reanimating the dead has been referred to in previous stories. It is seen as a fate worse than permanent death.
In Containing Malice, we find out more about these experiments.
Why would the Humanoid Alliance bring back the dead? Wouldn’t it be easier to craft beings from nothing?
Reanimating an enemy’s dead to fight that enemy would appeal to the Humanoid Alliance’s cruel natures. And it might be economical for them. They can merely infect the fallen and replenish their fighting forces that way. There would be no need for transportation or manufacturing.
But I also believe the Humanoid Alliance is searching for what many humans have strived for centuries to find – eternal life. These experiments could bring them one step closer to accomplishing this feat.

Containing Malice
This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
***
Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.
His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.

Containing Malice And Families
Cyborgs don’t have families like you and I might think of them. They were created in vats, didn’t know their genetic donors. Yet they have created family-like units that rival any you and I have experienced.
At first, these units consisted of warriors in their batches, the cyborgs they trained with. These males (females are rare) were all the same model type so cyborgs always have a strong affiliation with brethren with their same model type. (This is why warriors on the Cyborg Council primarily represent their model types.)
When the cyborgs started fighting for the Humanoid Alliance, their families expanded to include other model types they fought alongside. Shared experiences, especially trauma, tightened their bonds.
Malice, the C Model hero of Containing Malice, has been trapped in an underground Humanoid Alliance lab for solar cycles. His sole companion is Valor, an E Model. Their bond is EXTREMELY tight. Malice would kill, would die for Valor. And Valor would do the same for Malice.
The Humanoid Alliance know this and has been using their connection to control them.
The baddies didn’t factor into their equation one determined female medic, however.
