Amethyst Attraction
featuring Red's novella: "Amatista"
Lured years ago from her home on Earth, Liana has seen countless natives mercilessly
killed by humans in their search for planet Oriana's riches. When the Foher warrior
Kavi kidnaps her during his escape, he unwittingly takes the humans' greatest
asset — and awakens Liana's strongest lusts.
For years the Fohers have sought the same treasure — Amatista. Only by finding
the mystical river of amethysts will Kavi and his people be safe. But Kavi doesn't
realize his human captive, with her lush body and eager responses, is more than just
a distraction — she is the key to finding the treasure he seeks.

His name was Kavi.
Liana thought it was…nice. For an insensitive bastard.
After Kavi nodded, they were once again alone. He stared at her for a long moment before starting forward.
Every step he took made her heart beat faster. She was sure by the time he reached her, she would die.
When his face was close enough for her to look into his beautiful silver eyes, she felt her sex swamp. Again.
She whimpered softly, her eyelashes drifting shut as she waited for his touch. Wanting it. Shamelessly.
Endless seconds passed. She could feel his stare, but not the big, calloused hands of the warrior.
“Open your eyes.”
She held her breath as she did. Kavi looked as though he had the weight of a thousand tents like this one on his shoulders. His jaw was clenched and he looked troubled. Confusion danced in the back of his eyes.

“I’ve paid you in kind,” he said, but there was no triumph in his voice. Only regret.
He swiftly unbound her legs and wrists, then slowly raised her to a sitting position and removed the gag.
“Miserable pig!” she spat, slapping his chest several times until he caught both her wrists with his hands.
Liana didn’t know why she’d slapped him, whether it was for touching her or for stopping. She was panting with rage when he placed her hands by her sides and lifted a pitcher.
“Drink.”
Why would she drink when she could sit there and glower at him?
“Drink now,” he commanded in a tone that said the guy was used to being obeyed.
“There won’t be a chance for sometime. The camp is moving.”
about Red's book
She spared the wooden pitcher an untrustworthy look. Kavi growled in frustration and gently pressed her face to it.
After being gagged, her mouth felt parched and it was painful to swallow. Cold water slithered down her chin and neck as she tried. His eyes followed the path of the water, and a restless muscle started to tick at the back of his jaw.
“What’s mipe?” she asked hoarsely. For the life of her, she couldn’t understand why she had to ask this now.
He ignored her, tilting the pitcher and giving her more water. He looked entranced by watching her throat move, her lips moisten.
She swallowed more water, noting there was a shrine of weapons stacked together in a corner of the tent, and faintly wondered if she had the courage to dash for one of them and make a run for it. She didn’t. Instead she meekly drank her water then asked, “What’s simu?”
He ignored her a second time. He was getting quite good at that. In fact she
was fascinated by his pretending he hadn’t just touched her there.
Liana would’ve loved to participate in this little theatric if she weren’t
busy still trying to figure it all out.
“What are you going to do with me?” she asked thickly, her throat closed.
Something along the lines of tying her up and making her feel like a woman didn’t seem all that bad now. In fact it might even be a godsend. Her cousin had stripped her naked for years now, the means to fulfill his wretched plans. She’d been paraded around before one too many Fohers, and stared at for hours at a time. But no one had looked at her the way he did. It felt…well, quite frankly, it felt awesome.
For a long moment all he did was stare before slowly setting the pitcher down. “I will keep you for a time.”
“For how long?”
He stared thoughtfully, and she curled her fingers against the urge to smooth them along the crease on his forehead. “Forgive me.” He lifted the pelt beneath her and gently draped it around her shoulders. “You won’t be touched again.”
