Orthia Moore

I pledged my life to a god—my Love—who has kept me alive for centuries in hopes that one day I would provide them with enough strength to bring them to our realm. In return, they have given me incredible powers, a second chance...

And a soulmate.

But as time has passed, I’ve not found the one meant for me. That is, until my Love calls for me to drag up a being of such divinity that I know she is my intended. Our god says that she has chosen us.

But she is a human, and I will never claim a human.

Delphini Fields

I have everything: money, power, status—until my penniless playboy of a fiancé murders me. My rage and desperate desire for vengeance calls to an ancient creature, a powerful god who offers me a choice: Revenge or death?

It’s an easy answer, but with my new life aboard Orthia’s ship comes with many complications. I have new powers I can’t fully harness, and we’re on a mission to help raise a god from the abyss. Not to mention, I have a soulmate who's determined to keep me at arm’s length.

But I always get what I want.

and check out the excerpts from this scene below

"Delphini," I shout over the noise.

Her eyes flick to mine, volleying between the VIP section and me like she can't decide where her focus should be until she grabs the front of my shirt. In a quick twirl, she has my back pinned to her front with her hand resting on my hip. Warmth swallows me in waves as her thumb tucks into the low waist of my trousers.

"How did you find me?" she hisses in my ear, but all I can focus on is the pure warmth radiating from my hip and spreading between my legs. "I'm doing this whether you think I am ready or not."

I am not a dancer. Performing my final battle is the closest I get to keeping a beat to something, but Delphini is perfectly capable of moving my heated body against hers to match that of those around us. The music changes to something that while just as high temp, is more sensual. The hand not on my hip gently touches my wrist until she has my hand placed on her neck. My fingers trace her pulse and her hold on me grows tighter until I believe she is trying to leave a mark on me.

Her grip lessens slightly, but her lips touch my jaw. The heat of her body on mine makes my skin vibrate, Love’s power seeps to the surface. The markings that cover my body turn slick and tentacles writhe beneath, ready to come out and feast on whatever offerings I have for them. A thin tendril slips free of my trousers and wraps around Delphini’s thumb. A shaky breath breezes over my cheek.

“You aren’t the only one whose body is a temple.”
