Steel and Shadow: The Unbreakable Bond of Luc and Izzorah #MMRomance #LitRPG #MFRWhooks

Steel and Shadow: The Unbreakable Bond of Luc and Izzorah #MMRomance #LitRPG

In this scene from Forever Love, Izzorah, with Luc beside him, is about to face Pietas and be taken aboard ship to undergo his fealty test. Pietas thinks Luc has taught Izzorah nothing, but in reality, they've practiced every scenario endlessly. As with everyone he meets, Izzorah senses emotions through scent, and to him, Pietas seems evil.

Steel and Shadow

As Izzorah crossed the deck at Luc's side, a cold wind kicked dust into the air. In the pool, white-tipped mini-waves skittered across the surface. A stiff breeze gusted.

A momentary panic surfaced. What if he was blown over the edge?

Luc's reassuring advice came to him, and Izzorah repeated it to himself silently. Fear can't hurt me. It's okay to be afraid. Face what I fear head on.

Uurah, Pietas's android bodyguard, had no people-smell, nor did he have the plasticky, androidy scent Izzorah associated with most mechanical people. Like James and McDoth, he smelled not-human but also somehow not not-human at the same time.

Izzorah had no word for it. Maybe he'd have to make one.

Pietas was his usual caustic self, anger and greed at the forefront of his emotions. As usual, his outside didn't match his inside. He stood there, smiling like he knew some secret he wasn't going to share.

Humans had a word for that, but Izzorah couldn't bring it to mind.

From Luc, a kind of coldness Izzorah hadn't sensed before. Now that they were facing the immortal king, the worry Luc had possessed disappeared. Instead, he'd gotten quiet, all the way deep inside, as if he'd done this so many times it offered no challenge.

Yes, he'd practiced with Izzorah, but this wasn't confidence from that. This was deeper. Much deeper. Scary deeper.

This was Luc the General.

The warrior who'd faced thousands on the battlefield. The utter confidence and quiet within him at this moment shaped into a cold, hard focus sharp enough to drive a noodle through steel.

A resolve that said no matter which way this went, he and Izzorah would be together, and nothing Pietas or anybody else could do would stop it.

Izzorah took Luc's arm and squeezed it. If only he could borrow that strength.

Careful not to move, he waited, listening, but the room didn’t feel… safe #SciFiRomance #PlotTwist #MFRWhooks

Her Crystal Clear Truth by Kayelle Allen #SciFiRomance #Bodyguard

In this scene from Her Crystal Clear Truth, Joe has returned to his hotel and is getting ready for bed.

An intuitive sense of trouble kicked in

Her Crystal Clear Truth by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #RomanceAs Joe prepared to shower, some innate sense of trouble made him go back, pick up his mother's diary, and tuck it beneath the couch cushions. After he'd cleaned up and dressed in sleep pants, he wandered back into his room, yawning. Out of boredom, he picked up the diary again.

He retrieved a beer from the mini-bar, plopped onto the couch and put his feet up. He opened the chilled drink and took a tentative sip. Not as good as what he had back home, but it would do. He set the drink on a small table beside the couch and opened the book.

Meeting Shohn Lexius had eased his mind about involving idBot. The moment he'd learned she was a Kin, he'd considered forgetting the entire thing. He'd dealt with enough Kin females to know they viewed a male with a brain as an amusing oddity. He hadn't expected a Kin female without a hook knife at her side, or beads in her hair. And she'd talked about gender equality. For humans, that was an obvious thing, but on the Kin homeworld? Revolutionary. The kicker, however? She treated their Kin server with respect and was his mentor. Now that was putting actions to words.

Could she still be imperious and commanding? Of that, he had no doubt. Yet she'd related to him throughout dinner as an equal, and never once treated him with condescension.

Had to admire anyone going against cultural mores to right a wrong. Plus, only a fool would deny Shohn Lexius was one beautiful female. People had called him many things, but never a fool.

He tucked the diary between himself and the back of the couch, pulled out his tablet and read through the notes he'd made about finding his birth mother. After a few notations, he sent them to Shohn.

He opened a new reference book on fluid mechanics, but before long, his eyes kept closing. At some point, while still on the couch, he drifted off, and woke with a start.

He kept still a moment, unsure what had jerked him awake. But then that intuitive sense he'd learned not to ignore swam to the surface.

Careful not to move, he waited, listening.

No sound.

Still, the room didn't feel right.

Didn't feel safe.

He'd never been able to explain it, but he knew when someone felt a certain way, or what they would do. When someone he knew sent a text, he'd pick up on their mood. Both curse and gift.

He'd long since given up trying to explain and just trusted his gut.

What was different here?

No smell.

No breeze.

Just a dead, skin-tingling silence that felt...wrong.

Joe lifted his head.

The door to the hallway had the usual safety hologram, his not glowing. His travel preferences would have overridden the glow. He couldn't sleep with lights on.

On his left, the bed had been turned down but not slept in. His travel bag sat on the end, as it had earlier.

On the right, the back of the couch hid most of the door to the bathroom, but it stood open.

All the lights had gone out, but that was the room's AI sensing he slept. Nothing unusual there. He hadn't moved enough to trigger them.

When he pushed himself up, it changed his angle of view on the oversized framed mirror across the room.

In the reflection, a man in black looked back.

Who are the people in this image? #SciFiRomance #PlotTwist #MFRWhooks

Her Crystal Clear Truth by Kayelle Allen #SciFiRomance #Bodyguard

In this scene from Her Crystal Clear Truth, Shohn and Joe are meeting for dinner and to discuss how Shohn's company, idBot, can help Joe find the person he's looking for.

Who are these people?

Her Crystal Clear Truth by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #RomanceThe pleasant meal and minimal small talk gave way to a dessert of cheesecake, a Batchelors specialty. Over the last few scrapes of forks against plates, Shohn asked Joe who he hoped to find.

He brought out a flatpic from an inside pocket. "Read the words on the back, if you can make them out."

"It says, OUR SON'S MOTHER, 4640. Who are the people in this image?"

"The adults are my parents. That was taken at a picnic just before I was born. I have corroborating evidence that puts them there on that same date. They're in a few more photographs too. Bad lighting and focus, but I recognize them."

"On what planet?"

"Trien. My parents were both teaching there at the time. Mother communication and my father climate systems. The party where this was taken was apparently on the surface, at some kind of park. You can see clouds and trees."

Saint-Cyr's "upstairs garden" came to mind. "Were they stationed on the FIST?"

"Yes. For two years."

"Then this was likely taken on the station, rather than the surface. The Facility for Interstellar Ships and Transports has tighter security than the TCF or even idBot. No one's allowed planetside. Once you're on the station, you're on the station. But they have several parks where people can go that simulate being outdoors."

"I had no idea. If she was on the FIST, there should be records."

"I can't imagine why not. You think this is your birth mother?"

"I have DNA evidence that proves I'm not their biological son." He slid the dessert plate aside. "I'm in town to speak at a conference this week. One of my first forays back into work. I was hoping you'd be able to investigate her disappearance while I'm here."

"When you say disappearance, what do you mean?"

"I can't find information about her. It's like she popped into being for that photograph and then slipped away again. There are no records, no recollections." He braced both elbows on the table. "I'm a scientist. I'm used to searching for facts. I deal with details. I hypothesize, theorize, and research. I know this will sound crazy, but it's like someone has tried to erase her existence. There's nothing about her anywhere. No name. Nothing. Even among those who were at the event, no one remembers her or my parents being there." He reached over and touched the photo. "I had a photoborg test this. It's a real image. Not faked. They were there. I didn't know she might have been on the FIST itself. Do you think they'll have records?"

"Possibly. Likely." Her operative had done an excellent job steering him to her. Thankful Joe couldn't smell her emotions, she tamped down the pleasure at having the opportunity to work with him. "I'm curious for my own reasons," she admitted. "I like a puzzle, and this certainly is one. You're passionate about this." She reached over and rested a hand on his for a brief moment. "You deserve to know."

"Then you'll take the job?"

She'd already decided before showing up, but it wouldn't do to reveal that. "Your need captured my attention. I will do my best to find her."

As if all the tension went out of him at once, Joe sank back in his seat. "Thank you. You don't know how much this means to me. I dislike coming up against brick walls where there should be doors."

"Oh, now that I can relate to. Do you have digital copies of these images?"

"Yes. Do you need them now?"

"Please." She picked up her mobile and pointed it at his while he cast the images toward her. A quick examination showed everything had transferred. She sent them straight to her secure work vault. "The images are higher resolution than I'm accustomed to. They won't be difficult to use for searches. Discreet searches."

"When can you start?"

"As soon as we leave this table. I'll contact you with an update, good or bad, by tomorrow afternoon. Count on it."

“It must have been a shock” #SciFiRomance #MFRWhooks

Her Crystal Clear Truth by Kayelle Allen #SciFiRomance #Bodyguard

In this scene, Shohn and Joe meet for dinner and to discuss how Shohn's company, idBot, can help Joe find the person he's looking for. He's just admitted that as a terraformer and scientist, he thinks firestorms have personal agendas. Shohn's boss, Luc Saint-Cyr would be thrilled to know this, since he knows the truth behind the firestorms. Shohn keeps Joe talking, letting him express his feelings.

Her Crystal Clear Truth by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #RomanceIt must have been a shock

"I read about the death of your parents. It must have been a shock, being so sudden."

"It was." Joe traced the lip of his goblet. "I've existed in an absolute daze. Most people say how sorry they are for your loss. Offer condolences. I heard it so much I was numb. You know? I couldn't hear the meaning anymore, just the words. All the people I work with also worked with my father. They knew my mother. They knew me since childhood. I was always underfoot during my dad's field work, growing up."

"Your family was close." How she envied that. Missed what she'd once had.

"We were. I worked on every firestorm research project you can think of. But because of my father's theories, his death raised an invisible wall between myself and my colleagues. They treat me like I'm fragile glass. Some days it feels like I'm lost at sea. No sign of a harbor anywhere." He cleared his throat. "Sorry. I didn't mean to ramble."

"Please, don't apologize." She set down her goblet. "I understand better than most what it's like to lose someone under tragic circumstances."

"Do you?" He sipped the wine.

"When I was a girl, the big brother I idolized killed himself."

"I'm so sorry." Joe laid a hand over his heart. "Oh, my god. I just talked about how I hated hearing that and then I go and say it to you."

"It's all right. Saying it is a reflex, but most people don't know what to say next." She flicked one ear. "It's awkward."

He released a long sigh, shoulders slumping. "Is it true that time takes it away?"

Running a fingertip along the lip of her goblet, Shohn shook her head. "It becomes less sharp. Less piercing. But it still hurts. Sometimes a random comment brings it back. The other day, someone was talking about doing a task she didn't want to do, and said, 'If I have to do that I'd sooner kill myself.' She had no idea how her words stung. A slap of ice water in the face. I wish I could give you the time or date when you'll be able to think about their deaths and it doesn't stab you in the gut." She set a fist over her belly. "It'll take a while. In Kin culture, males are gaining rights, but not nearly fast enough. Ours is a repressive society, and that repression is why my brother killed himself. I'm trying to do my part to bring about equality. I'm determined not to let his death be in vain." What was wrong with her, sharing intimate details like that? "Sorry. It's not like me to open up."

You can tell if I’m lying, can’t you? #SciFiRomance #Bodyguard

Her Crystal Clear Truth by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #Romance

Her Crystal Clear Truth by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #RomanceIn this scene from Her Crystal Clear Truth, Shohn and Joe meet for dinner and to discuss how Shohn's company, idBot, can help Joe find the person he's looking for.

You can tell if I'm lying, can't you?

"What you tell idBot stays with idBot." Shohn tapped one manicured claw on the table. "Like lawyers and clergy. What you say to me I will share with no one."

"My father considered firestorms not as random incidents." Joe chewed his lower lip, his bright-blue gaze focused on Shohn. "Kin know when someone's lying, isn't that right?"

"Human scent gives them away. It's not impossible to lie to us without us knowing, but it is rare."

He leaned back, regarding her. "You'll know what I say is the truth, correct?"

What was he getting at? Did he plan to lie? Odd way to go about it, if so. "I would know whether you believed something was true."

"Okay." Joe squared his shoulders. "My father believed firestorms have a personal agenda."

She considered those words. "What you're saying is he thought the firestorms themselves were planning where to strike."

"Yes. I know it sounds crazy, but when you examine the evidence..." He sighed. "I don't mean to sound condescending, but you wouldn't understand. There are only a handful of people who would, and those few are all in the TCF. But they refused to take him seriously."

If Saint-Cyr could hear this, he would be cheering. Firestorms did indeed have their own agenda, but this was the first time anyone other than an immortal had recognized it.

Gaining Joe's trust might be the key to carrying out both her missions.

Alitus tried to calm his breathing, but his heart raced #MMRomance #SciFi #MFRWhooks

Alitus: Tales of the Chosen #WriteLGBTQ #SciFi #MMRomance

In this scene from Alitus, after delivering a speech about the importance of Betters wearing the veil, Alitus returns home. The veil is a physical garment but also electronic. Betters can see out, but no one can see them, or hear their natural voices, and it suppresses their pheromones, which are addictive to "normals."

Tarth City, Palace District
Imperial Palace, Quarters of Alitus Vivaldi

Alitus, Tales of the Chosen #MMRomance #WriteLGBTQ #SciFiAlitus entered his apartments and slammed the door behind him. He yanked off the veil, threw it on the floor, and ran both hands through his hair. Shuddering, he tore off his gloves, cast them onto the table in the foyer, and rubbed his face.

After his speech, he'd returned to his office to find it empty, and his entire staff sent home for the night. He'd come home via the usual way, taking the servant's elevator, but this night, there had been no friendly greetings. No one had looked at him. A few had scurried out of his way.

None of the other Betters who worked in the palace were required to veil. Everyone had to know the one in the veil was him. And now the Empress was probably angry with him. Who else had the authority to dismiss his staff?

Grib didn't make his nightly appearance, so Alitus hung up his own jacket and removed his cufflinks. He listened for a moment, but the place seemed isolated, silent. Apparently, she'd sent his household staff away as well.

He'd showered and dressed himself for an evening at home when a knock sounded at his door. When he answered it, the Empress brushed past him and entered.

"I'm glad you answered. I was worried you wouldn't see me."

"I can't imagine such a scenario, Your Majesty." Alitus shut the door. "May I get you a brandy?"

"Please." She began pacing. She was dressed for work, in her uniform, minus the formal sash. A weapon hung at her side.

Alitus poured some of the new brandy for each of them and brought her a glass.

Destoiya sipped it. "I've been thinking about an incident that happened earlier this year, my love. Something I never explained to you. I believe it's time I did. You remember the day you were taken hostage by that tall blond man." She was watching him, waiting.

How could he forget? Alitus tried to calm his breathing, but his heart raced. "Yes."

"It was foolish of him to come in public like that. He should have contacted—" She shook her head. "Never mind. I never told you who he was."

"You mean—" He bit his lips together and put his head down.

"Go on, love. What were you going to say?"

He peeked up at her. "I did some research on him."

"Did you?" Her surprise gave him a small amount of pleasure and made him feel guilty at the same time. "Tell me what you know."

“You are never ‘all right,’ my lord. You are perfect.” #MMRomance #SciFi #MFRhooks

Alitus: Tales of the Chosen #WriteLGBTQ #SciFi #MMRomance

In this scene from Alitus, Pietas, the immortal king, prepares himself to receive his sister. As was his habit, he's purposefully kept her waiting. This scene gives a little hint as to why.

Le Persequor - lurk mode (invisible), Throne Room
Sumertsag 42, 4664 Tradestandard

Alitus, Tales of the Chosen #MMRomance #WriteLGBTQ #SciFiLord Pietas ap Lorectic mounted the dais of the cavernous throne room, and adjusted the hang of his white fur cape before seating himself. He fussed with its fall around his feet, and finally motioned to his android bodyguard. "The mirror."

Uurah angled the full length glass for him.

Placing his hands on the armrests of the throne, Pietas lifted his chin. The stately pose showed off his long platinum hair, and the satin turquoise lining of his cape. It also reflected the empty chamber with its simple throne.

"No." Pietas stood. "I don't like it. My sister won't be impressed."

"How can she not be, my lord? You are king of the immortals."

"You would think so, Uurah, but this is my twin sister we're talking about. Dessy's not surprised by anything I do. She's been at my side since before we were born. My sister can't even fathom the concept of my birth having occurred before hers being a sign of my superiority. She certainly won't take notice of my clothing or appearance."

"I cannot imagine anyone not being awed by you, Lord Pietas."

"You would say that, Uurah. You're my bodyguard."

Uurah propped the mirror and approached him. "I'm more than your bodyguard, my lord. I'm a sentient being capable of making independent decisions and forming opinions. You yourself gave me that freedom. I would tell you if I disagreed." Uurah inclined his head. "As I have done whenever justified."

"True. To my great annoyance. In fact, I've wished a few times I hadn't made you impossible for me to kill."

"Have you, my lord?" Unlike most androids, Uurah could defend himself. No human could stand against him, and most Sempervians would have difficulty doing so. As a sentient being, under the laws Pietas had written for his people, Uurah had the right to defend himself against anyone, even Pietas himself. Of all the androids in the Sempervian army, Uurah alone had the right to prevent Pietas from destroying him. "Why is that?"

"Because—" Pietas considered a moment. "I created you to appear human." He played with the hang of a sleeve. "You have a better memory than I do. Mine is eidetic, so I never forget, but there are some things I choose not to pay attention to, and you pay attention to all details. You're a good complement for me. Therefore, I need you. Besides, you know the rules of Peril, and you keep me honest when I'm playing. And you and my cat—" He chewed his lower lip, loathe to admit the last.

"The cat and I... what, my lord?"

"Are my only companions."

Uurah smiled. "My lord Pietas, I serve your pleasure. To be considered your companion is my highest honor." He made a bow.

"So you think this cape is all right?"

"Certainly not, my lord. You are never 'all right.' You are perfect."

"I so rarely see anyone." Pietas avoided looking into the dark area behind Uurah. "It's lonely on this ship." He heaved a sigh. "Never mind. Let's stay with this outfit. I've already tried on three, and she's been waiting for..." He paused. "How long?"

"My lord, who would mind waiting for you?"
