**This
is a slow-burn reverse harem romance. The action slowly builds
throughout the series, and the main character has more than one love
interest. Though book one is relatively mild, the following books in
this series include explicit language, graphic scenes, and some BDSM
action. This series is not recommended for readers under 18 and may
be a trigger for some.
Ari nipped
Cassia’s breast then gradually slipped her dress down her body,
removing her clothing for the first time. He didn't breathe as he
reverently assessed her exquisite figure. There were a myriad of
lights, from the full moon to the flickering candles, illuminating
Cassia’s silky skin and giving her an out of this world appearance.
Cas lay almost bare before him, the only article of clothing she wore
was a pair of beautiful white lace panties. Ari reached his finger
under the waistband, enjoying the sensation of the material against
his skin. "Cassia, you are the most beautiful thing that exists
in this world," he breathed.
She laughed at
his proclamation. "Ari," she chuckled, "that's not
true. Look at the way the moonlight hits the waterfall and is
reflected in the river. Think of the stunning colors created by the
sunset or the lovely flowers that grow in the field. There are many
things in this world more beautiful than I."
"Cas,"
he said, placing a knee on each side of her waist. "I have seen
the rarest emeralds in the world," Ari planted a kiss on each of
her eyelids. "I've felt the softest silk ever created," he
continued, and slowly kissed her lips. "I have glimpsed the most
perfect color of pink known to man," he persisted, moving down
to place a kiss on each nipple. "You, my love, are the most
beautiful thing that exists in this world." Ari deliberately
licked his way down her stomach and bit the waistband of her panties,
pulling them away from her figure.
***
His smile
brightened, and jaw-dropping dimples appeared in his smooth cheeks.
"If you want," he said, stepping closer to her, "I'll
show you how very, very nice I can be." She took a step
backward, caught off guard by his forwardness. Jordan began to laugh
and put his hands up to stop her retreat. With open palms facing her,
he said, "Relax, Cas. I was only teasing you a bit."
"Okay,"
she replied, still unsure of his intentions. "But you still
haven't told me why you're here."
"I've got a
few errands to run. I'll be back in a bit," Celestia declared.
Cassia’s sister grabbed her jacket and strode to the door.
"See you
later," Jordan responded, and winked at Cas. He didn’t even
bother to glance in Celestia's direction.
"Wait! Are
you sure it's… you know," Cas asked her sister and nodded her
head in Jordan's direction, "safe?"
Celestia roared
with laughter. "Cassia! You are the strongest enchantress I have
ever met. Are you truly scared of one little enchanted boy?"
Jordan chuckled
at the criticism. He flashed Cassia another dimpled smile, and then
he cupped his hands into a closed circle as if he were hiding a small
trinket inside. Cas watched in nervous anticipation as his hands
glowed a lime-green color. He stepped closer to her and leisurely
opened his hands to reveal a single blue Anemone. "Blue, like
the color of your shirt," he uttered. "The same blue you
wore the first time I met you." He took another step closer to
her, “My favorite color,” he stated, and placed the flower in her
hair.
***
"I'm sorry,
but I really must leave." Before he could reply a gigantic
splash sounded behind her, and a defining roar split the night.
Cassia turned toward the fountain as a flash of white flew snarling
past her. "Brax!" Cas screamed, "No! Wait!" She
realized her warning came too late as she watched the massive white
wolf tackle the enchanter and release another terrifying growl. He
stood on the man's chest dripping spittle from his ferocious fangs as
he snarled. "Braxton, please," Cas coaxed, "it's okay,
he's not a threat.”
But
I felt your panic,
Braxton replied. I
sensed your distress! What has he done? Why are you shedding tears?
His mental voice was loud, angry, and more threatening than she’d
ever heard it.
Cassia walked up
to her savagely magnificent wolf and bent to be eye level with the
animal. It's
okay, Brax,
she assured him through their link. Cas placed her hand on his head
and continued to try and calm him. This
man has not harmed me, nor do I believe he ever would. This enchanter
is not the reason for my tears. Please let him up.
Braxton let loose
one more vicious growl, his maw dangerously close to the enchanter’s
face, and cautiously stepped off of the man. He trotted to Cassia's
side and rubbed his snout on her hip. Braxton had relaxed a bit, so
his voice was quieter when he asked, What
happened?

Slumbers."
"Jordan!"
Cassia's entire face turned red, but she didn't try to move away.
"Hmm?
What's the matter," Jordan asked, "don't you like to feel
what you do to me? What did you think would happen when you came out
here dressed in that?"
Cas peered up
into his eyes and put one arm around his neck. She used her pointer
finger on the other hand to make a ‘come here' gesture, and Jordan
instantly obeyed. He lowered his head assuming she wanted to kiss
him, but Cas turned her face at the last minute. She pulled him lower
so she could whisper in his ear, "I thought that it would be so
much fun to tease you!" She disappeared in a cloud of green and
Jordan fell face first into the water.
"Oh,
Sweetness," Jordan said, standing upright. "You are in so
much trouble!" He searched the nearby area but found no sign of
the little enchantress. "Come out come out wherever you are,”
he called. Jordan turned and searched the horizon wondering if she
had ported further away than he'd assumed. Suddenly, a gigantic wave
came barreling toward him, crashing into him and knocking him in the
water once again.
Jordan stood up
sputtering, and the first thing he heard was Cassia's uncontrollable
laughter coming from the shore. He glanced in her direction in time
to witness her fall to her knees in the sand, holding her belly in
hysterics. Jordan ported to her before Cas had an opportunity to
move, and swiftly pinned her to the ground with his muscular torso.
He locked her wrists above her head and straddled her waist, dripping
water into her doe-eyed face. "Gotcha," he said, and leaned
down to kiss her.
***
Cas was shocked
when Vita’s bonds began to disintegrate, knowing that she embedded
an immense amount of power into the magical chains. Vita spat in her
face and then started to laugh. “I thought you were powerful,”
she said, and flung Cassia across the room. Cassia used her magic and
Braxton’s strength to propel herself at Vita, speeding through the
disheveled dining room like a train racing through a subway tunnel.
Cas barreled into Vita, sending them both hurtling through the wall
into the kitchen.
Vita snagged
a splintered piece of wood and swung it at Cassia’s head. Cas
ducked the blow seconds before it could land, but Vita smashed her in
the mouth with her opposite elbow. Vita called air and sent Cassia
flying across the kitchen. Cas let out a groan of agony when she
landed on the breakfast table, shattering it like glass into several
pieces. She felt a sharp pain in her chest and knew instinctively
that her rib was broken. Cassia struggled to catch her breath as Vita
rose to her feet and approached her battered form. “You repulsive,
feeble excuse for an enchantress,” Vita said, taking another step
in Cassia’s direction. “You are no better than a useless human.”
Another step brought her within touching distance. “I will enjoy
destroying you, Cas, but I’m going to love taking your mates.”

“Why hello,
youngling,” Vita said, flashing an innocent grin. “Where is your
daddy?” The young boy appeared to be about five, and he was happily
humming a tune she didn’t recognize. The child was sitting in a box
full of sand filling a bright yellow bucket with a tiny spoon-like
shovel. He gazed up at her with big brown eyes, his smile revealing
two missing teeth.
“He’s at
work. Do you want to play with me?”
Vita had no
intention of crawling into the filthy crate, unsure how this child
could find joy dallying in the dirt. “Maybe,” she answered,
inching closer. “Where’s your mama? Why isn’t she playing with
you?”
“Mommy’s
at work, too.” He lifted the pail and held it out toward her. “See
my new sand set? I can build giant castles like the ones in my books!
Wanna help?” Vita took another step, bringing her within arm’s
reach of the boy. She stretched her hand toward the bucket, preparing
to snag the kid.
“Hey, lady!
Why are you talking to my brother?” A teenage girl approached them.
“My parents said we aren’t supposed to talk to strangers, you’d
better leave!”
Vita stood
upright and appraised the girl. Perfect,
she thought, two
for the price of one.
She smiled at the teen, “I’m sorry, I was just admiring his new
bucket.”
“Yeah,
well, you’ve looked at it. Now you really gotta leave or I’m
gonna call 911.” The brave girl continued walking toward her, and
Vita couldn’t believe her luck. She plucked up the boy then quickly
reached for his sister. Deep red surrounded them, and to anyone
watching, they simply disintegrated. She transported directly to her
basement, smugly holding a child in each hand.
“Let me g-go!”
Vita laughed
at the naive adolescent who was yet to realize her predicament. “I
think not. Unfortunately for you, neither of you will ever leave this
room.”
***
Cas was
unsure how she did it, but immediately after contacting with Ari’s
body, Vita shot to her feet and bounded over a nearby couch. “You
like this one better?” Vita snickered and lunged at Jordan,
clutching his throat and digging her nails into his neck. Cas was
horrified as Jordan’s skin began to turn black - she’d never seen
anything like it. Green mist surrounded Cassia’s lover, and a
powerful blast of water shot from his fingertips, forcing Vita to
lose her grip and stumble backward.
Cas used the
opportunity to try and get Vita as far away from them as she could.
She called on her most powerful element and thrust a gust of wind
toward the crazed enchantress. Vita went crashing into an end table,
the force of her body shattered not only the pristine white lamp but
also the white oak of the stand. Ari sent more fire at her, but Vita
didn’t stay down long and quickly cast a shielding spell. “You
idiots,” she screamed, “you are not powerful enough to destroy
me! I will kill you, Cassia Lunason, and your tattooed party boy!”
She flew
through the air and tackled Cas to the ground. Before Cassia could
even raise her arms to defend herself, Vita started to land blow
after blow to Cassia’s face. She tried to fight back, but Vita was
hitting her with inhuman speed. One perfect punch across the bridge
of her nose sent blood flying across the room, and she cringed as she
heard the sound of breaking bone. Cassia was still recovering from
using most of her magic to do the location spell, and no matter how
hard she tried she couldn’t fight Vita off. Suddenly, the
enchantress was hurled from her body, and Cas squinted her eyes in an
attempt to see what happened.
“We have to
go, Sweetness. Now,” Jordan demanded, reaching for her hand. He
pulled Cas to her feet then carried her to Ari. As Jordan bent down
to help up his friend, Cas noticed Vita getting up from where she’d
landed when Jordan threw her. Cas struggled but managed to use the
small amount of power that remained in her reserves and sent a gust
of air at Vita, thrusting her toward a window. The glass exploded
from the force of the witch’s body, and the sight of falling shards
of glass twinkling in the sunlight seemed somehow surreal.
***
He noticed his
own body quake as he slowly slipped a finger inside of the woman he’d
wanted for so long, and growled when he felt the heated sides of her
entrance clench around his digit. Braxton deliberately wiggled his
finger and was satisfied when Cassia began to moan and writhe from
his touch. He took her nipple into his mouth, twisting his tongue
around the extended peak while Jordan continued to devour Cassia’s
lips. He gradually slid another finger inside of her heated hole and
nipped her soft skin as Jordan increased the pace. Cassia’s hand
gripped his oversized organ when she found a release, breaking free
of Jordan’s kiss and yelling in the throes of her passion.
Braxton loved
the way her body clenched and unclenched around his fingers, and
couldn’t wait to feel the sensation around his monstrous member. He
rolled onto his back and roughly gripped her waist, pulling Cas away
from Jordan’s grasp and centering her on top of his own body.
Braxton moved her back and forth a few times, feeling her juices run
across the length of his organ, attempting to excite her even more.
He was finally going to unite with his mate in the way he’d needed
to do for so long, but he wanted her in a frenzied state of
lascivious need before he did. Brax poured all of his desire into the
bond and sensed her own heightened emotions connecting back to him.
Cassia’s body was demanding his in a way that he’d never known
possible - hungry for his touch, thirsty for his kiss, and craving
his cock.
Jordan inched
closer to them both, and Braxton’s desire mounted when the
enthralling enchanter reached for Braxton’s hair, pulling his face
toward Jordan’s own. Jordan violently took his lips, his tongue
demanding entrance into Braxton’s mouth. Braxton felt Cassia’s
passion pound against the bond and knew that she was excited by this
new turn of events. He wasted no time giving into Jordan’s command
and kissed him back with zealousness. Jordan broke the kiss and
allowed Braxton’s head to fall back onto the bed, “I’m in
charge here, Wolfie.”
Braxton
didn’t bother to argue because it didn’t matter to him who was in
control. All he wanted was to experience this intimacy with his mate
for the first time. He pulled her face down to his while Jordan
positioned himself behind Cas. Braxton kissed her passionately,
enjoying the taste of his precious little wolf. As Jordan reached
around her side and began to play with her little nub, Brax felt the
brush of Jordan’s fingers against his manhood and let out a low
moan.
She wriggled
at the touch, her hot mound sliding against Braxton’s shaft as she
continued to pour her emotions into the bond. Braxton,
she
called through the link,
please.
“I need you,” Cas whimpered, and Braxton positioned the head of
his cock at her entrance.
I love you, Little Wolf,
he told her, as he felt the tip of his member begin to stretch her
heated core. He was going to enter her as slowly as possible, to feel
every inch of his shaft enveloped by her heat, knowing that they
would both remember this moment for eternity.

What can we expect from you in the
future?
Did you learn anything during the
writing of your recent book?
I did quite a bit of research for The
Lost Lunason Series. I wanted my flashes in time to be believable,
and when you have a character that is basically jumping two centuries
into the future, it’s important to make her reactions believable. I
have learned so much through my writing journey, and I feel like I
grow as an author with each book. I’ve learned new words like
caementicium (Roman concrete), and I learned a lot about the past.
For example, when was cement invented? When did they start calling a
couch a couch? My writing has definitely improved since my first
book, and I hope I will continue to grow as I write.
I’m really excited about my next
series, but I haven’t picked out a title yet. I’ve already done
some research and have a detailed outline, but I’m currently
researching Irish folklore and the story of Bridget Cleary. This will
be another reverse harem, and it’s going back to the traditional
Irish lore about changelings. The story will be about the Fae, have
longer chapters, and more men for my MC’s harem!
What is your writing process? For
instance, do you do an outline first? Do you do the chapters first?
I always create a very detailed outline
so I stay on track and don’t lose focus. However, as soon as I
start writing, my characters convince me to do things differently.
Usually, it’s just small changes that really don’t transform the
story too drastically, but occasionally one of my characters makes a
demand that I can’t comply with. For example, when I was a few
chapters into Claiming Cassia, one of my characters insisted on
turning evil! We argued back and forth for over a week, and in that
time I didn’t write a single word. In the end, it was too big of a
change and I would’ve had to write another book, so she lost the
argument. I was worried that my readers might be upset if I prolonged
the series, so I stuck with my original outline. If I could change
anything about my latest book, it would have been to listen to my
character. If she really wanted to be evil, who was I to stop her?
Where were you born/grew up at?
I was born and raised in a tiny town in
the Midwest. When I say tiny, I mean it is an hour drive to get to a
Walmart! If I wanted to go to an actual mall, well, we’re talking
three hours to the nearest food court! Needless to say, I couldn’t
wait for my chance to break free. I’ve lived in a few different
states, but I missed the small town atmosphere of my childhood. I
moved back home, and, though I miss the anonymity of the bigger
cities, I love that I live in a place where people wave to strangers
and neighbors still borrow a cup of sugar. As an author, however, the
familiarity of a little town can be a horrible thing!
My parents and my in-laws regularly
volunteer at their respective churches. My husband’s job involves
working closely with the local community, and I am working toward a
career as a clinical psychologist. My son’s graduating class size
will only be about 60 kids, and everybody knows everything about
everyone else. What nobody knows, however, is that Stacie Sultrie
lives in their close-knit community! Until I started writing, I never
really understood why authors use a pen name. When I started
scribbling explicit sex scenes, however, I needed a way to keep my
everyday life separate from my writing. I’m close to publishing my
fourth book, and I haven’t even told my family that I’m an
author! My amazingly supportive husband is the only one that knows
that I am Stacie Sultrie. It is difficult sometimes to keep the
secret from the people closest to me, but it’s also a lot of fun. I
have this whole other life that even my closest friends don’t know
about. I also think that it ensures that I stay down to earth - I’m
writing because I have a story to tell, not because I need
recognition.
