He wasn't looking for love. He only wanted to prove
he was worthy of being a king's son.
Adventurer Theseus had dreamed of meeting his
father, King Aegeus. As Theseus journeys to Athens , he meets his match
in strength along the way. But is it the will of a beautiful young princess
that puts this strong young man finally at his mercy? Or will he be able to
conquer the princess’s heart?
She had settled for a life of unhappiness and
believed a man who would love her for herself was only in her dreams.
Princess Ari has followed her father’s dictates
all her life. On her way to meet her bridegroom, she is attacked. Saved by a
handsome adventurer, Theseus, she tempts fate and follows him on his journey to Athens .
Being with Theseus opens up a whole new world of opportunity for her. But will
she allow her heart or loyal duty choose her life for her?
EXCERPT:
Theseus’ entire body must have
been made in the nectar of desire because she wished to bury herself in his
arms. And he didn’t stop her from running to him. She jumped when a crash
cracked through the air. Blinking, unsure of what happened, her body became
rigid. Theseus pulled her into his arms and onto the ground seconds before the
giant flew over the pair of them.
He took his hand off her head.
He had protected her. Again.
Staring up at him stirred
something unique inside her that she never believed could happen to her. She’d
seen the plays and the tragedy that love caused, but never understood
temptation. The fire in her belly burned into every part of her body from his
smoldering eyes. He looked down at her as he cradled her in his arms. “That was
Sinus. I don’t think he’ll kill anyone else ever again.”
“He won’t. How do you know his
name?”
“He’s the reason I chose this
path when I was fifteen. I had planned to prove my courage to my father, and
take out the biggest villain on the road.”
“Check that off the list of
goals then.” she said. “Good job.”
She continued to embrace
Theseus, making her body tingle from crazy stirrings. What would he taste like?
She’d die a happy death if he put his lips on hers. My, what was she thinking?
“I never believed you’d be
here, or that my goal in that moment would turn to protecting you.” he said,
pulling her closer.
She shook off her desires. She
needed to let him go. She focused on logic instead of the male body in front of
her. “I don’t know what to say. Today has been the craziest day.”
“It’s the middle of the night,
little one.”
“You’re right. I don’t know
what’s happening to me anymore. Theseus, this never happens to me.”
“What doesn’t happen to you?”
he asked, smiling.
“I don’t know.”
He played with her hair, and
straightened her clothes. “Your innocence and desire are a siren’s call to me,
Ari, and you don’t have a clue, do you?”
“Who’s Ari?” She half expected
to be disappointed with whatever he would say.
“You are. It fits you much
better than Ariadne. Ari trembles for me.”
She licked her lips, wanting to
kiss him. But she couldn’t. Theseus embodied a man out of her dreams.
She looked away thinking of
what waited for her when her father’s men found her. “I don’t know my
bridegroom. I’ve only ever known my duty.”
Theseus’ body tensed. “You’re
betrothed?”
“I never agreed. The bride
price, I’m told, paid for my father’s upgrade to the artillery. In the morning
or someday soon, I’ll be found. But…can you do me one last favor?”
“What, little one?” His arms
grew warm again, tightening around her. She dared for a different life, where
she lived with a chance of walking next to him in life. Letting him go and
going back to the life her father chose sounded cold and dreary. She couldn’t,
not yet.
“Kiss me, Theseus, just once.”
Taking a step closer to him,
she looked into his mesmerizing eyes. His strong hands framed her face, his
fingers circled her mouth and his eyes darkened with tenderness. When he leaned
into her, her eyelids fluttered shut. His light pressure sweetly opened her
mouth.
Her secret wish had come true.
The prison walls in Ariadne’s heart disappeared in her soul, and today Ari’s
lips ached.
He bent his head close. Then,
she felt his strong lips on hers, and she lost control.
