Meet the agents of TRAIL from Beneath the Gates #SciFi #DarkFantasy

Beneath the Gates: Colonies of Man #DarkFantasy #Mythology #Archaeology

I plan to write about TRAIL, a company that exists in the far future, and is contemporary with my Tarthian Empire series.
The two do not overlap, and take place on different sides of the galaxy.

The meaning of the acronym TRAIL is Trace, Rescue, and Identification League. However, rival companies and independent agents have their own versions. Most common is Thieves, Ruffians, Assholes, Irritants, and Losers, followed by Their Roughneck Arbitration Is Laughable. The official company response is to grin and bear it, laughing while you cash your fat paycheck. The unofficial response is a quick jab to the mouth. Scars on knuckles are a thing of pride among agents.

The structure of TRAIL is formed loosely around the principle that independence is a good thing, provided it's not taken too far -- or too seriously. Agents report to a Field Director, who reports to the Board, the members of which are ultimately responsible to the President. No more than two steps are ever required for a decision, no matter how weighty. Agents have full authority to act with extreme prejudice if necessary to carry out their missions. That said, any time a death is involved, an outside agency steps in to confirm both the kill and the neccessity for it, occasionally resulting in more scarred knuckles.

The outside agency policing TRAIL's missions which result in a "negative life impact" (i.e., death) is STOP, Synthetic Technicians Optimized for Peacekeeping. TRAIL agents refer to the emotion-denied android group as Suspending, Terminating, and Omitting Pleasure.

TRACE is an officially disavowed department of trained assassins and snipers inside TRAIL, whose motto is "Without guilt." TRACE stands for Target Removal Assistance Classified: Extreme and these agents are the favorites of many world governments.

Currently, TRAIL agents are found in Trailing Kaiwulf, and will be in the upcoming story Return of the Vhalgenn.

“Relax. No one is getting sucked into a wormhole this time.” Excerpt free book A Stolen Heart #SciFi #MMRomance #MFRWhooks

A Stolen Heart - Thieves' Guild Academy #MMRomance #SciFi

In this scene, when Luc is asked to find a missing child, he's sure he's missing something. After all, this is the king, the Master of Misdirection. Pietas wants him to find a kid. Sure he does. Meanwhile, Pietas has brought out his panther and is petting the animal.

Oh, relax. It's safe.

"I want you to locate the girl." Pietas stroked the panther. "Once you tell me where she is, you'll be free. I don't need you to rescue her. Just inform me."

"I see." Luc did not. "Find this ten year-old girl. Tell you where she is. That's it."

"Yes. Then after your Deshai graduates, you can move to Tarth and start that building you've been planning."

This was far too easy. Obviously, Luc had missed something. Mentally, he walked back through the last bits of conversation. "To clarify, you don't want me to bring her to you. You want me to find her and tell you where she is."

"Asked and answered." Pietas studied him. "Why is this so hard? Find her. Tell me. Not difficult. But it is urgent."

"What's so important about her?"

Pietas kissed the panther on the nose. "It's not her so much as her parents. If we find her and then take her to them, we'll have more influence."

Now they were getting somewhere. "And who are they?"

"My sister told you about the FTA, didn't she?"

"FTA." Acronyms filled his world, but this one? New to him. Why did that earlier dread raise its ugly head again? He'd probably be better off not knowing, but Pietas seemed to be waiting for an answer. "Not a word. What is it?"

"She didn't?" Pietas frowned. "Oh, I thought... Never mind." He tugged the panther's ears. "The FTA is the Forgotten Technologies Arena."

"Forgotten by whom?"

"The ancients. It's secret tech. Forbidden."

"Forbidden." The headache he'd faced over the last hour spiked through his brain. He rubbed his temples. Why him? Why now? "Pietas..."

"Oh, will you stop worrying?" The man looked over at him. "No one's going to get sucked into a wormhole this time."

Luc forced himself to take a deep breath and let it all the way out. "That's what you said the last time."

The more dangerous person in this room wasn’t the monster #Excerpt A Stolen Heart #SciFi #MMRomance #MFRWhooks

A Stolen Heart - Thieves' Guild Academy #MMRomance #SciFi

Luc Saint-Cyr is waiting for the headmistress of the Thieves' Guild Academy when a toddler runs through the open door. The boy is clearly terrified, and Luc quickly realizes what the boy fears is the teacher who comes after him. Luc directs the boy to hide behind the door and sends the teacher on a wild goose chase. But now Luc is stuck dealing with a child, and what he knows about kids could be written on his palm, with plenty of room to spare. The boy, however, has immediately claimed Luc, though his rescuer doesn't know that yet.

Excerpt A Stolen Heart

Senthys blinked up at Luc. "I wanna go with you. I'll be good. I don't bite. I don't have claws." He held up his fingers. "See?"

Those words wrenched his heart. What had this child been taught about himself? About his people? Kin bit and clawed the enemy, not random strangers. Besides, the more dangerous person in this room wasn't the boy. This little innocent would be trading one monster for another.

"Senthys." Careful not to pull the boy's curls, Luc brushed them back from the lad's face. "Saving you from a monster doesn't mean I'm not one."

"Yes, it does." The child blinked away tears. "You're a good person. You smell good. Kin know."

"You mean you have kahlah?" A Kin's ability to smell emotion made it nearly impossible to lie to one of them. Quite unhandy for those with less scruples. "Do HalfKin have that ability?" The boy's grey pullover hung partway off his shoulder, revealing a striped shirt beneath. Luc adjusted it.

"Uh huh. I smell better than humans. I smell good people." Senthys touched Luc's chest. "You smell good."

"I think you're too young to know what 'good people' smell like yet."

"Yes, I do. My teacher stinks."

Luc almost choked, trying to stifle a laugh.

“Saying ‘I forgot’ was inexcusable in our home.” #Excerpt Bringer of Chaos #SciFi #PietasFans #MFRWhooks

Origin of Pietas: Bringer of Chaos - #SciFi #SpaceOpera

When I was writing the first Bringer of Chaos book, I looked for songs that evoked the mood on the characters. Remember Everything© by Five Finger Death Punch is a song of pain from the viewpoint of a child who grew up unable to please his father. Early in the book, Pietas faces off against his father, the former Chancellor. As the current Chancellor, Pietas must oversee peace talks between immortals and humans. He and his father are yin and yang--complete opposites on the spectrum. That truth comes out later in a scene between Pietas and his mortal companion, Six.

I forgot...

Pietas dangled a length of fishing line in the water. "How good the weather is on this world. I'm quite pleased with it. If we have to be marooned here, at least we're not facing constant storms or stuck in a desert."

"I hope it lasts."

"You think it won't?" Pietas craned his neck, but in this part of the creek, under the canopy of trees, the sky showed up as blue specks.

"No place has perfect weather. It must rain sometime. Trees don't get as big as these or the creek full without rain."

"Ah, of course. I knew that. My mother is a consummate terraformer. She taught me about the cycles of life and renewal and how planets replenish themselves before I was ten. She made me learn the name of every plant and animal in existence, I think. I got caught up in enjoying the beauty and forgot my lessons."

"You know, Pietas... It's okay to admit you forgot a detail." Six shot him a smile.

"For you, perhaps. Such excuses were unacceptable when I was growing up. Saying I forgot was equivalent to saying please beat me now."

Six chuckled. "Sounds like a tough childhood."

Pietas settled back against the boulder. "My friend, you have no idea."

He hadn’t come to reconnect. He’d come to negotiate. How utterly vexing #PietasFans #SciFi #MMRomance

Ring of the Dragon: Heart of the Immortal King #SciFi #MMRomance

In this scene, Pietas had waited all day for Cyken to arrive, and now that the man has come aboard the ship, Pietas is eager to reconnect. They're in Pietas's quarters, and they've seated themselves on a couch.

But Cyken wasn't here to reconnect, was he? No. He'd come to negotiate on behalf of his new love. The young immortal Pietas himself had created.

How utterly vexing.

With a hesitant motion, as if reaching out to a wild animal, Cyken pressed the back of his fingers against Pietas's cheek in a hand-kiss.

He leaned into the touch, and returned it. "I've missed you, Cyken."

"You haven't cut your hair."

No 'I've missed you too?' No 'I can't live without you?' No 'I need you more than air?' Or 'You are my soul's fire. Stay with me forever.' No, he got, "You haven't cut your hair." Cyken might as well have stabbed him.

The man picked up a strand of Pietas's hair and rubbed it between fingers and thumb. "I'm glad you kept your hair long. Such pure platinum. I like it down. Always have." Luc released him and sat back.

Pietas only cut it in preparation for battle; he'd worn it long far less than he'd like. "I'll cut it for the ritual when I judge your Changeling."

Cyken's visage remained impassive and unreadable. Those solid black eyes hid much, but Pietas had angered Cyken before. A long-familiar blaze of fury flickered across the man's face and disappeared.

Which told Pietas he'd scored a hit. Why didn't that feel like a victory? One leg tucked under himself, he faced Cyken.

"You talk first." Cyken gestured. "Since you claim to know what I'll say."

"You want me to exempt Izzorah from the fealty test." Pietas required the test of all immortals who followed him. The only proof of immortality was coming back from the dead.

Anyone with the courage to die to prove loyalty deserved a place at Pietas's side.

"You never let anyone skip. Everyone knows that."

"You're right, and I won't start now." Good, then. That was settled.

Cyken broke into a slow smile, the corners of his eyes crinkling, making him look far less deadly than Pietas knew him to be. Cyken had aged during this lifetime, giving his face character, and... What was the word... Gravitas. Nobility. Revealing the majestic warrior Pietas had fallen so deeply in love with.

The one he loved still.

"Pietas." Cyken reached over and clasped Pietas's left hand. A touch strong but gentle, commanding yet yielding. As it had been with them from the beginning. But this time, Cyken had clamped his entire hand over Pietas's, immobilizing him. Holding him in place. Shifting the power.

If Pietas pulled back his hand, he acknowledged the shift. If he did not, he acknowledged the shift. For him, lose/lose either way.

Shrewd of Cyken. And downright cold-blooded.

Who says one person can fulfill all your desires? 🌶️📚 Triad, a #Romance by Lisabet Sarai @LisabetSarai #HotRead #Sizzle #LoveTriangle

Who says one person can fulfill all your desires? 🌶️📚 Triad by Lisabet Sarai

When my author friend, Lisabet Sarai, mentioned she had a new book out, I offered to share her news with you.

Who knew? By Lisabet Sarai

It had been months since I'd published any new titles. Meanwhile, my current WIP was proceeding at a snail's pace due to the demands of my day job, summer vacations, and other real world interruptions. So a few weeks ago, I decided to mine my back list and put together a boxed set to sell on Kindle Unlimited, to see if I could push my Amazon ratings back into positive territory.

I had a few stories in mind, romance tales in the twenty-thousand word region which were originally published years ago, and which might not be familiar to my current readership. (In addition, the KU audience doesn't overlap much with my usual readers.) I started with three titles. When I looked at the works I'd selected, I saw that they shared a focus on three-way relationships. Then, as I scanned my publishing history, I started to find additional stories on the same theme.

I ended up including six tales in the Triad collection (over 100K words). Actually, I identified a number of other candidates as well, but decided they weren't as good a fit. Indeed, when I examined the romance I'd written over the past decade and a half, I discovered that I'd written nearly as many threesomes as I had couples.

This was something of a revelation to me. I've always been attracted to polyamory, but I didn't realize how pervasive that interest had become in my writing. If you'd asked me what my "favorite" genre or theme was, I would have cited dominance and submission. But it seems three-way love is at least as common in my writing.

Who knew?

Triad by Lisabet Sarai

Sometimes one plus one equals three...

Why should soul mate be singular? Can one person really satisfy every need and desire?

Triad is a compilation of erotic romance tales about threesomes – not fleeting, lust-driven ménage a trois encounters but stable, loving relationships that involve three people. A long-married couple's ardor is rekindled when another man seduces each of them in turn. A lonely, embittered vampire finds redemption in the arms of his two young victims. A mistletoe kiss reawakens passion between old friends, until Suzanne discovers Gino already has a life partner. An alien pair offers love and immortality to the only survivor of a interstellar disaster.

Steamy and explicit, unapologetically romantic, Triad celebrates the joys of three-way polyamory.

Excerpt from Wild About that Thing

As the applause died down, Zeke and his boys struck the first chords of Rock Me Baby. Ruby launched into the rollicking tune, the driving beat automatically making her feel better.

"Rock me baby. I want you to rock me all night long.

Rock me baby, yeah, rock me all night long.

I want you to rock me baby, like my back ain't got no bone."

Zeke took up the second verse, giving her a chance to catch her breath. His sexy baritone vibrated deep in her stomach. He always managed to make this song sound deliciously dirty, especially when they sang it together.

They reached the bridge. Zeke's guitar wailed like a cat in heat. Ruby scanned the audience. Thirty or forty people at least, clustered around the tables or leaning against the bar. Practically every seat in the place was taken. Men predominated, but there were plenty of women, too. She saw black and white faces, age-grizzled hair and sleek, modern dos, ragged jeans and designer sweatshirts.

Young and old, black and white, rich and poor—everyone moved with the music. Everywhere she looked, her customers swayed to the beat—nodding their heads, shaking their shoulders or tapping their toes. That's the way it was with the blues. You couldn't help it.

Except for this one guy, who perched on a barstool pretty close to the stage. He had skin the color of espresso, a shaved head, aquiline features, and wire-frame glasses. The top two buttons of his white business shirt were open, the sleeves turned halfway up his forearms and the tails outside his trim jeans. His polished leather shoes looked expensive. The thing that drew Ruby's attention, though, was his aura of total concentration. One foot on the rung of the stool, he focused on the band, drinking in the music. His lips pressed together. His hands, decorated with gold rings, lay still on his taut thighs. He wasn't grooving with the rest of the crowd, but Ruby could tell he was swallowing up every note.

As though he felt the weight of her gaze, the man turned his face towards her. Their eyes connected. His were dark as midnight, deep as a grave.

About Lisabet Sarai

Lisabet Sarai became addicted to words at an early age. She began reading when she was four. She wrote her first story at five years old and her first poem at seven. Since then, she has written plays, tutorials, scholarly articles, marketing brochures, software specifications, self-help books, press releases, a five-hundred page dissertation, and lots of erotica and erotic romance – over one hundred titles, and counting, in nearly every sub-genre—paranormal, scifi, ménage, BDSM, GLBT, and more. Regardless of the genre, every one of her stories illustrates her motto: Imagination is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
