“There you are,” Tumbletoad says. “One of the other humans came by and told me to tell you there’s going to be a feast in the village green tonight. I was asked to help.”

“I cannot wait to eat more of your bread,” Wranth says.

“Me either,” I add. “It’s the best bread ever.”

The brownie’s little chest puffs out with pride.

“That gives us several hours, yes?” I ask Wranth.

“It does.”

“Good.” I grin and squeeze his hand, and in a blink we’re back at the waterfall where we spent our first time together.

“Why did you bring us here?” he growls, his intense eyes staring into mine, filled with heat and love.

“I wanted a little alone time with my husband.”

“Would you like to talk?” He cups my cheek. “What you went through with your parents must have been quite a lot.”

“Nope. I’ve talked plenty for today.” All the joy of my newfound freedom fills me, anticipation bubbling through my veins. I get to live the life I’ve always wanted.

And I get to do it with Wranth by my side, supported by his love and devotion.

I peel my shirt over my head and teleport halfway across the clearing. “Catch me if you can!”

I take off into the trees as Wranth’s rumbling growl fills the air, making me shiver with delicious excitement. Laughter echoes through the forest as I run and run, teleporting several yards forward every time he gets near.

When he finally catches me, my husband wraps me in his arms, his kiss full of all the freedom and joy and love I will ever need.

Or read on for a sneak peek atBound to the Orc King:

I jolt awake. I’m sprawled out flat on my back, starfishing across the top of the rock. The sky overhead is storybook blue, the white clouds so fluffy you want to pluck them from the air and stuff them into pillows. Birdsong trills high and sweet.

What woke me? I can usually sleep through almost anything.

A deep grunt makes me roll over until I can look over the edge of the stone.

“What the hell are you?” I blurt.

Something built like the Hulk, only gray, climbs the side of the column like King Kong scaling the Empire State Building. He’s naked except for a fur loincloth and a massive two-headed axe strapped to his back.

Why do I get the feeling I’m supposed to be the shrieking blonde damsel in this situation?

Oh, hell no.

I seriously need to figure out what’s going on here, and I need to figure it outnow. My crystal warms on my chest, and my hand instinctively curls around it.

He looks up at me and leers, his face crudely formed with a smashed-in nose and a mouth that looks like it was drawn by an unsteady hand. His smile sends warning signals flaring in my brain—red alert.

“Hello, pretty witch.” He reaches upward, his hand falling thankfully short. “Come here. I won’t hurt you any.”

There’s an echo right after the words, even though his mouth doesn’t move.“I’ll hurt you a lot.”

“Fat chance, asshole.” I jerk upright.
