Andrew Dorincourt has the blood of powerful shifters in his veins. It’s his job to take care of his siblings, who are his pack, and he has no intention of letting anything get in the way. However, he’s seen the love shared not only by his parents but by the Papas, the men who raised his mother, and he wants that for himself. The problem is none of the young women he’s dated have left him wanting anything more than to go home alone. Perhaps he’d have more success by dating men, as his brother does. Only it seems he’s not very successful at that, either. Da’ric is the son of Ric’u, a Brachi who’d been stranded on Terra for decades, and David Knight, an ichthyologist who traveled up the Amazon in search of his heart’s desire. Seeing the deep love his fathers have for each other, Da’ric determines to settle for nothing less. At any rate, the dating pool is pretty much empty in the Lagoon of Dreams, and so he goes to the States, where he intends to become a herpetologist. In order to do that, he must mingle with normals, Terrans who have no idea extraterrestrials share the planet with them. When he walks among Terrans, he must disguise his heritage by wearing sunglasses to conceal his rainbow-colored eyes and long-sleeved shirts to hide his scale-patterned skin. After being kidnapped and sold to a high-ranking member of the London underworld to be displayed as the Snake Boy, Da’ despairs of ever seeing his beloved family again, until Drew wanders into the House of Oddities and helps Da’ escape. Is it fate, kismet, or destiny that brings together the offspring of two very unique families? Have these two been waiting for each other, and will the future hold the love they’d both been seeking?

Rainbows in Your Eyes

However, before Viejo thrust himself into me, Halliwell screeched, “No, no, no! What do you think you’re doing, you idiot?”


Viejo looked at the man as if he’d lost his mind. “I’m going to fuck him, just as you did. What did you think I was going to do with Knight’s whelp?”


“Not with that penis, you’re not.”


“Then with whose penis?” He stared down at himself. “Ah. You care that I give him a disease?”


“Of course not. But I’ll want him more than this one time, and I have no intention of being infected just because you don’t wash yourself. Remember, I’m paying you, and if you don’t agree to my orders, you won’t get a single Krugerrand.”


I was surprised when Viejo growled his acceptance, pulled on his trousers, and took a step toward the cabin door.


“How long will it take us to get to—where did you say your friend was?” Halliwell cleaned himself off and began to dress again.
