Due to my deceased father, the government decided I may have an inside to the fighting force we need to save humanity. They call him King of the Shadow Warriors. Shadow Warriors are elite fighters, who, after shifting form, have sharp claws and teeth capable of eviscerating a human without blinking an eye. If that isn’t a reason to run the other direction, I don’t know what is. The problem? We need the Shadow Warriors or we die. To gain their trust, I must impress King.

My government sent me in a short dress and heels to do the job. They seem to think a sexy body will increase their chances of gaining his help. I took the assignment freely even though my feelings on the outcome offer no comfort.

That brings me to the biggest problem in the entire scenario: King will eat me!

Shifter King

      Kings blow knocks me against the wall, rattling my brain. I land on my feet and spring back using my frustration to power the left hook I throw at his head. I dont connect, but it was a setup for the right uppercut that hits his jaw.


      Were both bloody. And the sexual frustration Im dealing with takes me past the point of caring about a little blood. Each morning, noon, and night, King kisses me like Im the air he breathes and then the jerk walks away seemingly satisfied. Ive done everything except flat out ask him to have sex with me. And this has been our game for six frustrating weeks. Living together and not giving into the things we want has been a lesson in patience. Even bloody, Id take him right here, right now.
