Kurzbeschreibung: BLURB:Nope. This late in the game, Im giving away nothing!!! If anyone has a complaint, they can send it to the Oath Forgers Palace in Merim.But I will share an excerpt. (Because I cant resist Roax. Seriously, who can?) Enjoy!EXCERPT:That ever-present storm in his eyes rages, dark and ominous. When Roax looks at me like this, I always feel like Im seconds away from being swept away into some dangerous unknown."We dont have to..." I tell him. "You and I..." I swallow. "Tiam said most would work. I dont need all five of you." I swallow again.I hope he understands that he doesnt have to be one of my five. I wouldnt force this choice on any one of them. Whether or not I can accept them is one thing. Whether or not they want to be accepted by me is just as important."We dont have to..." I repeat, needing him to understand.He crosses the room too fast for me to prepare for his overpowering nearness. Suddenly hes there in front of me, all unleashed power. Lightning flashes in his dark eyes. "Like hell we dont."His words are like bindings around my wrists. And then the imaginary bindings are replaced by his very real, hard and biting fingers. "Ill just stand around and watch the others kissing you, touching you, taking you? Is that how you picture it?"I have no idea how I picture it. Right now, I dont even know how to speak.He crosses my wrists behind my back and cuffs them again with one of his hands. His other hand digs into my hair at my nape and pulls on the wet locks, tilting my face to him. His firm body is pressed against mine. Im trapped.I never want to be free.My entire body responds to Roax.I dont know how he does this to me. When Im with Roax, Im a different person than when Im with the others. I dont want to feel this powerless, this mastered. I feel lost, and I dont want to lose myself to him. At the same time, Im not sure if I have a choice. Not when my body is screaming Yes! Yes! Yes!As his sharp gaze roams my face, moisture rushes into my eyes. I have no idea why. Dont blink. If the tears run down my cheeks, hell notice.He notices anyway."Shh, my little bird." He kisses one corner of my mouth first, then the other. "Were going to go slow, you and I. By the time we get where were going, youll be ready."
