Top 5 Reasons to Marry an Immortal #MMRomance #SciFi #MFRWhooks

bnr

Wulf, Tales of the Chosen MM Sci-Fi Romance #MMRomance #MMReads #SciFi

Immortals aren't like most people.

If you find one who's lived for hundreds -- or thousands of years, you soon realize they have different values. Marriage to someone who's been around longer than your country has been in existence will be a challenge from day one, but it's worth the work. Here are the top five reasons why.

5) You can expect to be showered with gifts. You won't get costume jewelry from an immortal. They appreciate quality, and because they've lived so long, have often acquired a great deal of wealth.

4) Immortals are sensual. They've generally outgrown old morals and are more able to embrace pleasure for its own sake.

3) Immortals have angst. They've been alone for decades, centuries, perhaps even eons. Their battered souls long for refuge, and who better to give it to them than their soulmates? Especially with raw, yet tender sex.

2) In order to hide what they are in public, immortals often have to pretend they're something they're not. Which means they're good at role playing. Want your guy to dress up like a highwayman or a pirate? If he's been around for hundreds of years, he actually might have been one!

1) And the top reason... because immortals love forever.

Forever is a long time to survive without romance, so if you find an immortal -- never let them go.

Pietas gains unwelcome attention from a telepath #SciFi #PietasFans

Forged in Fire: Bringer of Chaos #SciFi #SpaceOpera

In this scene from Forged in Fire, Pietas and the search party sent to find him have stopped their upward mountain trek for a short break. Prior to their reunion the previous day, Pietas had spent a year in confinement, hands bound behind him. He'd been starved to the point of death, but because he's immortal, he could not die. Although he's healed since, the brutality left a lasting toll on his once robust physical body. As they prepare to get underway, he unwittingly reveals the impairment and becomes the focus of unwanted attention from a telepath.

Unwanted Attention

Wincing, Pietas stretched to ease cramps in his back.

"Tas!" His sister had started using her childhood name for him since they'd reconnected the day before. "Are you hurt?"

Before he could answer Dessy, a quick telepathic scan from Joss swept over him. Pietas had still been a teenager when she'd trained him to shield his mind from those with her gift. Not that he'd ever been able to block her. She was far too powerful, but today, she'd read him with no more difficulty than a hunter spying trail signs. He'd been near no Ultra telepaths for over a year.

His affinity with Six had made him careless and he'd neglected the basic lessons Joss had taught him.

It wasn't a lack of trust. Trust had never been an issue with Joss.

He treasured her, but he ought not to have been so unguarded and open. Vulnerable.

"Pietas." Joss stood. The waves of emotion he picked up from her held love and concern in equal measure. And a bit of disappointment. "You're injured."

He ducked his head like a schoolboy who'd forgotten his lessons. Admit mortals had damaged him? Never. Neither would he lie about it. He'd take better care to hide the pain.

"Don't worry about me." Whistling, he circled a finger in the air. "Let's go! Long climb ahead. Joss, you lead." Last thing he wanted was her behind him, using him as an object of focus. He loved her, but this was unwanted attention.

What telepaths focused upon, they controlled.

#MMRomance #SciFi Fall in Love with MM Romance – Surrender Love and more #MFRWhooks

In this scene, we get to see the almost magic way Izzorah processes scents. It is literally his superpower. He understands what each layer of scent means and can determine from scent alone which direction a person is going in making a decision. It's morning, and Izzorah wakes in Luc's house after being rescued from a bad situation. Luc had given him a handkerchief earlier, and Izzorah finds it on the floor near the bed.

The Smell of Pain

Izzorah brought Luc's handkerchief to his nose and inhaled the scent.

No cologne. That was all Luc. Izzorah's claws came out.

Wait. What was this? He drew in the scent again and puzzled over the mixtures. Bittersweet chocolate hid behind the musk of desire and tang of kai peppers. The peppers he understood. That signified risk, and no man got as rich as Luc without that. But the bittersweet... Izzorah sneezed to clear his nose and drew in the fragrance again. The bittersweet meant heartbreak, regret, loss. Yet this went deeper than Izzorah had learned to expect for the breakup Luc had gone through. The guys in Kumwhatmay had been through those. Plenty.

This was richer. Another scent rode behind it, as faint as smoke on a high wind: mint. By itself, it meant amusement. It didn't belong with bittersweet except in human chocolates.

Izzorah rubbed the cloth between fingers and thumb; it was smooth, clean. Izzorah shook out the cloth, scrunched it up and pressed it to his nose again. Bittersweet chocolate and mint, but not the kind that came from a spill of ice cream or sticky candy. This had a human aspect to it. He had no name for the scent. He'd never smelled the combination before.

The scent had faded and had a bit of Izzorah's own smell now, but there was more. Izzorah sneezed again and drew in another deep sniff. Lavender. Not soap. Human soaps added their own chemical undertone, and it had no alcohol the way cologne did. This scent came from deep within Luc.

Other Kin never understood how Izzorah did this and he'd stopped trying to explain. A single cousin had the same level of ability.

Izzorah hadn't noticed the scent when he was with Luc. After rubbing the cloth to warm it, Izzorah gave another sniff. This was pain. Not injury pain. Emotion. Inner pain. Luc hid it and it went so deep it lingered.

Lavender, bittersweet chocolate and mint. Heartbreak, loss, regret, amusement, inner pain, combined in a man as strong as Luc... Perhaps he found life amusing, yet it also hurt him. No. That did not go deep enough to explain this. Maybe he felt like an outsider looking in. Alien.

Like him.

But it was more than Luc feeling as if he had no right to belong.

Izzorah clutched the handkerchief to his chest.

"Oh, Luc! I will find a way to eliminate your pain, whatever caused it. I promise. Because if anyone has a right to belong, it's you."

When he unfolded the cloth, in one corner, a mark of white-on-white showed. He brought it up close to his face and ran a fingertip across it. The design was sewn into the cloth. Having no word for such a thing, he sniffed the spot and then licked it. No taste, but his stomach picked that moment to growl, so he stuffed the cloth into a pocket and went to find breakfast.

A new look for an old friend: updating a logo #SciFi #Art #Romance #SpaceOpera #MFRWhooks

Kayelle Allen -- unstoppable, unshakeable, unforgettable characters in a sci-fi world so real you'll want to live there.

A New Look

I've changed a lot of basic things in the last year, learned new ways, and changed my mind about some things. So I figured it was a good time to update the look of my logo.

I created the first one, back in 2004 - almost 20 years ago. That in itself would be reason to update!

For this version, I asked Les (aka GermanCreative) on Fiverr for her input on giving the logo a fresh look. I'm more than happy with the final image, and can use it in many ways. She gave me a version I can use on a plain white page, as well as one that has no background (other than within the circle).

Even better, it matches the look of other items I updated.
