About the Author:
Anastasia knew she always
wanted to write. She began at a young age, writing those little stories about
the apple tree in the yard. Though her love of stories stayed with her through
her poetry stage in high school, she didn’t begin writing novels until she was
almost an adult. That’s where she found her true passion.
Her characters visit her
dreams – and sometimes during the day – to share their stories with her.
Anastasia is merely the writer, but the characters are really the storytellers.
Anastasia lives in Columbus, Georgia with her
husband, son, and two black labs. She loves designing books and websites
during the day, then writing furiously
at night.

Excerpt:
.jpg)
The blonde in blue
floated her way to Rakan and sat down in his lap with a giggle. Jardel got a
bouncy brunette to land in his lap. Derac was not paying attention and the
other blonde in red planted herself on his knees. His head snapped up to look
at her.
"Long
journey, Warrior?" she purred.
Derac set his face
in a grim line. He put his hands on her waist, picked her up and put her on her
feet. "I'm not interested, but thank you for the offer."
She pouted and
slowly walked away, swinging her hips. Derac sighed and returned to looking at
the ceiling.
"That was not
very nice," Vivian pouted from Tyn's lap. "You could have at least
talked to her."
Derac growled.
"Look, while I'm flattered that she would choose me, I am not in the mood,
all right?"
"How can you
not be in the mood?" Vivian said. She didn’t hide her offense at his
words. "Making love is the best thing in the world." She leaned her
head back and laughed. Tyn planted a kiss on her collar bone. She giggled and
looked at Derac daring him to prove her wrong.
Derac leaned his
elbows on his knees and put on his best charming smile. "Why would I pay a
woman to be with me when I could have a warrior elf with the perfect
body?" He turned his head and winked at Kie. She played along and winked
back at him.
"Oh! How
sinfully nice!" Vivian laughed.
Aeli looked at Kie
in shock. Derac put his hands behind his head and reclined in the chair again,
a smug look on his face. Tyn laughed with Vivian but Jardel and Rakan were too
distracted by the girls in their laps to pay attention.
"Well, let me
show you to your rooms then," Vivian said with a giggle.
She stood and took
Tyn's hand and led him through the silk curtains hanging across the doorway.
The group picked up their packs and followed them down the hall lined with
doors covered in silk to give the appearance of having no doors at all.
Vivian opened the
door to one room and Jardel and his girl fell into it with a laugh. Derac
growled under his breath. The room across the hall became occupied by Rakan and
his blonde.
At the next door,
Vivian turned to Aeli. "I can get a man for you if you like," she
smiled.
Aeli smiled.
"No thanks. I'm much too tired, and I fear he would be disappointed."
As she closed the
door to her room, Derac caught her rolling her eyes. He held back a smirk as
they continued down the hall. She opened another door and waved her hand
dramatically to both Kie and Derac.
Kie opened her
mouth to protest but Derac shoved her into the room. He flashed a grin to
Vivian and Tyn and kicked the door shut.
"What are you
doing?" Kie whispered in a harsh tone.
He held up his
hands to stop her. "I just wanted to get away from that Vivian woman. If
you had protested, it would have taken longer that I would have had to deal
with her."
Kie crossed her
arms over her chest. "That's not the point! The whole team will know we
are in the same room - in a brothel!"
"What is the
problem with that? We've shared rooms before." He grinned wickedly.
"We've even snuggled on the floor of a cave remember?"
Kie huffed and
flopped down in the velvet covered chair in the corner. Derac cast his gaze
around the room and curled his nose. Silk sheets on the four post bed. Silk on
the wall. Shag red carpet and velvet seat cushions.
A knock sounded
and Derac swung the door open in a wild fashion.
Tyn’s eyes winkled
at the corners with his large grin. "I told Vivian you two would need
extra blankets. So you can make an extra bed. There are gowns in the wardrobe
if you want."
"Thank
you," Derac took them and shut the door again.
"At least Tyn
is thinking rationally," Kie muttered. She went over to the wardrobe and
swung open the doors. "Gowns? Is he serious?" She pulled out a paper
thin cotton shift with no sleeves. The low cut collar and see through material
made Kie gasp in shock.
Derac smirked.
"I bet it's comfortable."
Kie rolled her
eyes and put it back into the wardrobe. She dug around and found a cotton gown
not quite so transparent.
"I guess this
will have to do. I am sick of sleeping in my uniform."
"Me too but I
doubt there are sleeping clothes in there for me."
"Then wear nothing.
Maybe then that blonde could have an easier time of getting you in the
mood." She titled her head back, the maniacal laugh bubbling from her
throat.
“I told you, why
pay a woman to be with me when I can have an elf with the perfect body?”
“Oh? You think I’d
just bend to your advances, hmm?”
He smirked. “I
know you would.”
Three long strides
carried him across the room. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled
her against him.
“Centurio…”
“I’ve proved my
point. Look at how your breath hitches and your heart beats faster.”
“Th…that’s because
you startled me.”
He chuckled deep
in his chest.
“Let’s talk about
you then,” she said. “How your grip tightens on my waist when I try to pull
away and your own heart is thundering in your chest. Or how you can’t stop
looking into my eyes whenever we gaze at each other. Or how badly you want to
kiss me right now.”
“Do you want me to
kiss you?” he said, his voice husky and deep.
She swallowed
hard. “Yes,” she whispered.
Derac didn’t
hesitate and captured her lips with his. The voice in his head telling him he
shouldn’t kiss her was silent. The softness of her mouth drowned out all other
thoughts in his head.
Her lips parted in
invitation. His tongue traced the lines of her lips before plunging into her
mouth. Her vanilla scent filled his nose, and he inhaled it deeply. She rose up
on her toes, her body pressing closer to his. His arms tightened around her.
Derac’s hand roamed up her back and then gripped the back of her neck.
His mind cleared,
the only thoughts were how she molded perfectly to him and the feel of her soft
mouth.
Derac nipped at
her bottom lip. “See? You can’t resist me,” he murmured.
“Hmm, more like
you can’t resist me. I’m the elf with the perfect body, remember?”
“Honestly, I
really can’t tell with your uniform on.”
“Is that an order
to remove my clothes, Centurio?” she whispered.
A growl rumbled
deep in his throat. “Would you defy the order?”
She smiled. “I
might.”
