~ Excerpt ~



The darkness blurred and shimmered, bringing to life a man of moonlight and darkness: Aryne.
Before him Aryne could see her, lying in bed, tears of loneliness staining her pillow. She made his heart ache. He softly stepped to her side. His hand touched her face and gently pushed back her hair. He leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, turning her dreams from sadness to joy. Her body arched toward his touch as the skim of his hand, the heat of his skin traced the edges of her curves. He stepped back…and then within the shimmer of dreams disappeared.
Night after night her loneliness cried to him. Unable to resist, he came to her. Subtly he inserted himself into her dreams, into her arms. Aryne knew it was wrong. As a guide, his job was to bring sweet, peaceful dreams. But no one affected him like she had. He was unable to resist comforting her, drawing her into his arms, covering her body with his…but only in her dreams. There Aryne stole the passion from her lips, igniting an ache in his body that would not go away.
Touching her shattered him. He knew instinctively that her touch would be his downfall. Her touch could keep him here in this splinter of his world, isolated as all of the Outcasts were. Generations had gone by; those exiled had died long ago, their children mixing amongst the races of the universe.
He had tried to stay away, fearing this. He was adrift, swept away, drowning in her passion, breaths away from losing himself. Giving in, acknowledging the power she unknowingly had over him would condemn him, keep him here if she was unable to travel to his world. Very few could navigate between worlds. And this world would drain his power rather than enhance it. Even the short time he spent there took its toll on him, the drain only in abeyance when he was in her arms. Try as he might, he could not resist her siren call. Only by controlling her and the passion between them could he make sure that he would not become lost. Lost in her. Trapped forever in her world.
He had done his best, gentling her to his hand, to his control. She knew the unspoken rules, knew the consequences. He played them out in her dreams, a dark symphony of passion and restraint. Perhaps unforgivable for a guide, but he could not resist. And just her body was no longer enough. Eventually he would capture her heart and soul.
A man of shadows, it would be during the midnight hours of her slumber.


~ My Thoughts ~


OK first off wow!!! This was an amazing written story that to me was way to short my time reading it wasn't long enough just when I was really enjoying it Bam it's done over until the next one :( Don't get me wrong believe me I really liked the story was just a tad short. The characters are even more amazing then what it's about they do make for a really great story. 

This is a 2 person POV story well that's what it felt like. Man this paranormal story was amazing it was nothing like I have read before very different from the vampires, werewolves, and fairies that's for sure. Although I really enjoyed the story I had the song from Metallica stuck in my head all day you know the one were they sing about the Sandman and gripping your pillow tight. Really helped with this story hmmm. This being my first story from this author was amazing and I can't wait to read more from her.

The story almost makes me want to sleep and have a sandman of my own hmmm not a bad idea after a long day of work lol. jk but really you'd love this story give it a go!
