BLURB:
Being exiled from her beloved planet was hard enough for Major Rina Corvalano. Leaving the man she loved, Lieutenant Terrastan Ilykianoiselle, broke her heart in two. Death would have been more merciful. A chance meeting with Ter in a bar seemed like a fluke, until he shows up at her ship the next morning with a dire warning: return to Yelexia with him and face the High Council, or die. Rina can no more refuse the order than she can Ter’s body…

Reviews

“This story is emotional and it explores the feelings of two extremely ambitious individuals who end up learning that there are things more important in life than their own ambitions. … Overall, I enjoyed this anthology. It brings forth three wonderful writers with three completely different styles. … All in all, if you like futuristic stories this anthology is for you.”
- Mireya Orsini for Sensual Romance

“RETURN FROM EXILE is an emotional and intriguing tale. It is a story about forgiveness and trust. Ter has always regretted choosing his career over Rana when she was exiled and wants to prove to her how much he loves her. The love between Rana and Ter is hot, intense, passionate and well-written. Mary Winter has a writing style that is all her own, that keeps readers coming back for more. I know I can’t wait to read the next in the Galaxy Rogues series.
- Tracey West, The Road to Romance

“I think that fans of futuristic romances will find the latter two stories to be highly enjoyable. Both Ms. Winter and Ms. Warren have written stories of strong military woman with a soft spot for a special man”
- Denise Powers, Sensual Romance/The Best Reviews

“A futuristic anthology with three interesting stories, THE PLEASURE QUEST will take readers on a journey to another time, another planet. Each individual tale weaves a magical spell around the reader, drawing them in. Ms. Lee, Ms. Winter, and Ms. Warren have written stories that readers will enjoy. The characters, the unique storylines, make THE PLEASURE QUEST quite fantastic”
- Jordan Moon, The Word on Romance

“Poignant and sexy, this story brought tears to my eyes and satisfaction to my heart. The love scenes were smoking hot and the characters were developed to an amazing depth for such a short story. I could feel what they felt and see what they saw. It was an exhilarating ride. Truly, Ms. Winter has a talent for creating the type of story that becomes an old friend to settle down with on a cold night in front of the fire.”
-Keely Skillman, Coffee Time Romance

Excerpt

Rina shifted restlessly in her sleep as the dream began to overtake her.

She stood before Ter wearing only a dress in a shade of purple so dark it looked nearly black. The strapless bodice barely restrained her breasts, pushed up with layers of lace and padding. Ter’s eyes seemed glued to the twin globes rising above the rich fabric.

“We have to leave in fifteen minutes,” she said, turning away from him to stare at herself in the mirror. With a practiced hand, she began to apply makeup, sneaking peeks at Ter standing behind her.

He looked handsome in his suit pants. His shirt hung open over his bare chest. A recent boating trip had given him a burnished gold tan, and Rina forced herself not to lick her lips as she admired the rippling muscles beneath his tawny skin. When we come home from this party, he’s going to fuck me hard. She saw the bulge of his erection behind the pants, and her palms itched to circle around the thick shaft. Trying not to squirm in place, Rina finished applying her lipstick.

Ter moved behind her. He stood so close she could feel the heat of his body radiating through the thin material of her dress. As he nuzzled her neck, he wrapped his arms around her and drew her tight against his body. His hard cock pulsed against her ass.

Will I never get enough of this man? No other lover touched her as deeply as Ter. She wiggled her buttocks against him, delighting in the groan that rumbled from his chest. His thumbs unerringly found her nipples, tweaking them into an aching hardness through her clothing. Her pussy became slick with need.

“If I fuck you fast,” he growled in her ear, “we can still make the reception on time.”

His words inflamed her. Leaning forward, she allowed Ter to lift the skirt of her dress and wad it around her waist. She wore no panties beneath her garters. She never did. With a practiced finger Ter stroked her shaved cunt.

Rina wiggled against his fingers. “Please,” she whimpered, her hands reaching back to touch him. Awkwardly, she brushed his rib cage, but she touched him and that was enough for now.

Ter plunged a finger inside her. Her slick walls closed around his digit. He worked her easily. His thumb brushed against her clit drawing a long shudder from her.

“Fuck me, Ter.”

He disobeyed her order, and Rina wished she could invoke the authority of her rank to force him to shove his magnificent cock inside her. She ordered him, but they both knew it was play. Outside of military matters, she knew better than to pull rank.

Ter nipped her neck. The sting of pain forced her pleasure to ebb, just as he had intended. He pulled his hands away and Rina heard the sound of his trousers sliding to the floor.

“Do you know how much I want to put my cock inside you?” Ter asked. “Oh Rina, you’re so hot for me too.” He moved so his cock scarcely brushed her. Rina thrust back, wanting to fuck his cock.

“Please,” she whimpered. Her pussy tightened. She wanted his fingers, his tongue, his cock, it didn’t matter, inside her.
