The Bond That Ties Us, July 20, 2007 Ellora's Cave ISBN: 9781419912009 Genre: Romance/Futuristic Destiny chose him a mate that he couldn’t accept. She didn't believe in fate, but she cannot deny her growing bond to a man she's only just met. In Haylie Bond's mind, nothing is more thrilling than striking out on her own. That she is one hundred light years from home on Earth’s newest colony in a disputed region of space, is secondary.

Fate had nothing to do with her winning the position of the new colony’s security chief. It was hard work and making sure she was in the right place at the right time.

Yet things don’t go Haylie’s way from the moment she sets foot on the colony. First her body kicks into sexual overdrive sending her into an aroused state that would make a nymphomaniac blush. To make matters worse, the object of her desire is the Briel Ambassador. At almost seven feet tall, with jet black hair and silver eyes, Haylie can’t seem to go five minutes without thinking about him. Or more accurately, she’s catching bits and pieces of his feelings and thoughts in her head. Her relationship with the Ambassador is so distracting that she’s having difficulty concentrating on her job. If anyone finds out about their bond, she will lose her position and will be forced by Briel tradition to move to his home world and give up her newfound independence. There’s no way she will let that happen.

Kamran, Briel Ambassador to the human colony, Eurus, has waited his whole life to find his mate. When she arrives in the form of a slender human, he’s dumbfounded. Never in the history of his people has there been an instance of a Briel and an off-worlder forming a mating bond. Even with all the signs pointing to Haylie being “the one”, he can’t risk the possibility that he may miss his true Briel mate. It’s too bad his body won’t listen to logic. The sex between them is explosive the first time they are alone. And it only grows from there.

"Ms. d'Abo definitely knows her stuff."
~ CoffeeTime Romance

Haylie’s heart was racing, palms sweating, and the tingling of her skin traveled across her body pooling between her legs. All of the short range travel she’d done on cargo runs had never generated this type of reaction in her. And while deep space travel was a bit harder on the system, it didn’t explain the build up of energy. Haylie took a deep breath and hoped to ease the tight feeling in her chest. But it didn’t lessen, instead increasing in intensity with each step that the Briel took towards her.

My god. She felt a creeping wetness between her legs, her nipples tightened as they rubbed against her undershirt. Her Briel took another step closer, and she felt the tremor of an orgasm starting. My god.

“I can’t wait to meet this guy. I wonder what he...” Sara stopped mid sentence. She quickly took Haylie by the shoulders and led her out of the line.

“What are you doing, Sara?”

“Hun, you're scaring me. What's wrong?”

“I...I think I need to sit down.”

"Over here, lean against the bulkhead. Head between your knees and take nice deep breaths."

Haylie felt warm, but her approaching orgasm dissipated as they moved away from the Briel. What the hell was wrong with her?

"This is great. The administration is going to send my ass right back on the next shuttle to Earth. 'Sorry, Miss Bond, no wimps allowed'."

The weight of her long ponytail lifted from her shoulders as Sara gathered it in her hands.

"Come on. Section four of our contract clearly stated, they can't fire us until after your ten-day probation period expires."

"You're making that up."

"Damn right I am. So smarten up and show a little backbone, Bond."

This time the laughter didn't come. "Something's wrong." Haylie had difficulty making her voice work. It barely rose above a whisper.

"I'm not blind. What do you feel? Nauseous?"

"I'm..."

Wonderful. How the hell to explain this one? Haylie inhaled deeply again, but her rising chest increased the pressure of her traveling suit against her tight nipples. Bad move. The sensation only drove her body closer to the edge.

“Okay, that’s it. I’m hauling your ass into the med bay. They can debrief us later.”

Haylie grabbed Sara’s arm and yanked her back down hard. “I don’t need a medical. I’m fine.”

“Bullshit you are. You just said something’s wrong. I’m talking now as your doctor. You need a full exam. God knows what kind of bug you picked up.”

“I’m not sick!”

“What then?”

“You can never make something easy can you?” Haylie shifted her weight but immediately regretted the movement as it pulled her jumpsuit tight against her crotch. She tried to keep her voice as quiet as possible. “I’m horny. Okay? Happy?”

For the first time in the sixteen years they’d known each other, Sara was speechless.
