**Beast by Marteeka Karland**
Good Morning,
Everyone! So thrilled to see you all today! This is one of several appearances by
this author. A few months back, I had this author on the blog talking about her
release, TRUCKER and then again, when promoting the first book in the series we
are speaking of today, VICIOUS! Today she is back telling us about the book following
VICIOUS in her SALVATION’S BANE series. Yay! Please allow me to re-introduce to
the blog, Marteeka Karland and her
release BEAST …

**BIO**
Romance author by
night, emergency room tech/clerk by day, Marteeka Karland works really hard to
drive everyone in her life completely and totally nuts. She has been
creating stories from her warped imagination since she was in the third grade.
Her love of writing blossomed throughout her teenage years until
it developed into the totally unorthodox and irreverent style her English
teachers tried so hard to rid her of. Now, she breathes life into faeries,
space hunters, werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters, and a few just plane
ole ordinary people. She loves to see the awkward, self-conscious band geek get
the captain of the football team and make him beg for it.

Fleur:
Never in a million years would I have expected a woman I considered a friend to
betray me in the worst possible way. Yet it happened. Drugged and in the back
room of a BDSM club, I was about to be used in a brutal way. Until he
exploded to my rescue.
Beast: I’m Salvation’s Bane’s enforcer. My job is to protect. So when I notice something amiss in the BDSM club Bane owns, I’m there to shut that shit down. What I find is a woman who ignites passions inside me better left alone. What will she think when she finds out the lengths I’ll go to protect what’s mine? I come by my name honest. When it comes to protecting my club, or my woman, I’m the most ferocious beast you could ever imagine.

**EXCERPT **
His own chuckle surprised
Beast. He wasn’t the kind of man who laughed much. “The only rule you need to
worry about is to do what I tell you. Beyond that, there aren’t many rules.
Don’t betray the club. Don’t talk about anything you see here unless it’s with
me. That’s it. The girls will probably test you, but that’s normal.”
“Test me?”
“Oh yeah. They got Vicious’s
ol’ lady drunk at the first party she went to.”
“That doesn’t sound too
bad.”
“Well, once her inhibitions
were gone, she put on a show like no one had ever seen. And we own two strip
clubs.”
“Wow. Was she pissed?”
He shrugged. “Don’t know
what she said to Vicious in private, but I can tell you it backfired mightily
on the girls. They all got laid, but every single man in the club had visions
of Lucy in his head when they fucked, I can tell you that.”
She opened her mouth then
closed it. Tried again. “I have no idea what to say to that.”
He snorted. “Not much to
say. Everyone had a good time and Vicious learned a thing or two about his ol’
lady. Mainly that she’s an exhibitionist.”
“Holy shit!”
That got a chuckle out of
him. Again, it startled him that the sound came so easily. It made his chest
feel funny, too. OK, so it wasn’t the sound of his laughter that got him. It
was the woman in front of him. She made him do it so easily. Almost casually.
Every time he did it, he could see her lips twitch. Most of the time, her smile
followed. And it was a glorious smile. Fucking glorious! Just like the sunshine
he’d nicknamed her.
“Yeah. That’s what we said.
They tend to not be discreet about fuckin’. Vicious has always been up for a
good time, but I think he’s met his match in Lucy.”
“I think I better sleep on
this. You know I’m probably not going to do anything like that while I’m here.
Right?”
“Sunshine, no one expects
you to. Join in the fun, watch, or don’t participate in any way. Stay for the
food until you see it’s goin’ in a way you are uncomfortable with. No one
judges.”
She yawned and stretched,
pulling his shirt tight over her tits before she adjusted it absently. Thing
nearly swallowed her whole, but she’d gotten tangled settling into bed. “What
about you? You judging me for what happened in the club?”
That hit him like she’d slapped
him. “Sunshine, none of that was your fault.”
“I didn’t have to walk in
there. I could have said ‘no’ to Debbie. I willingly went into a BDSM club,
knowing what went on there.” She shook her head slightly. “More precisely, I
thought I knew what went on, but that’s not the point.”
“Then what is? ‘Cause, I
gotta tell ya, I’m not likin’ where you’re goin’ with this.” Did she really
think he’d take advantage of her just because she was in a place like that? “I
work there, honey. I’m there every fuckin’ night it’s open. I’ve seen lots of
women come and go. Literally. In all senses of the word. All different shapes,
sizes, colors, and sexual orientation. They come there for even more different
reasons. Some want to fuck anything moving anywhere they can. Others want to
find a Dom who can care for their needs, not all of them sexual in nature. Then
there are the ones who are just curious. They come in wanting to watch and
fantasize. I think you fall into the latter category, though, I bet I could
make you want to try at least some of the shit goin’ on in there.”
“In your dreams, big guy.”
She yawned again. “That’s not me.”
“Whatever you say,
Sunshine.”
He sat back in the chair
he’d pulled near the bed and sprawled out. It wasn’t the most comfortable place
in the world, but he didn’t want to leave her alone until Doc said it was OK.
The longer he sat there, the more uncomfortable it got. And not because of the
chair. Picturing Fleur at one of the club’s wild and rowdy parties was getting
him hard. Maybe she’d participate, maybe she wouldn’t. But she’d watch. She’d
be there. He’d just bet he could coax her behind a palm tree or something. If
not, he’d still get to enjoy watching her watch others.
Fuck.
“Gideon?” That sleepy,
sultry note to her voice was the nail in his coffin. His cock was sprung like a
fucking teenager. Barely suppressing his frustrated groan, he sat up a little
straighter.
“You all right, Sunshine?”
“Uh, yeah. I’m fine. I just…
well, that chair can’t be comfortable. Why not go on to your room? I promise I
won’t get up by myself. You’ve done enough for now.”
“This is my room. And I’m
not leavin’ you by yourself. Just go back to sleep.”
There was another long
silence. Then, “Beast.” Her tone brooked no nonsense, a bit of a dominant tone
to it when he was certain that wasn’t her core personality. He also noticed she
used his street name, not his given name. “Just get in the fucking bed, will
you?”
“Snippy little thing, huh?”
“I’m not lying here while
you’re in that stupid chair like a dumbass. There’s plenty of room in here for
both of us.”
“Not afraid I’ll take
advantage?”
“Oh, I’m sure you’ll take
advantage. But I’m not in a position to be taken advantage of by you, and
you’re not the kind of guy to push it.”
He stood and crossed to the
bed. Instead of going around to the other side where there was more room and he
wouldn’t crowd her, he slipped in close to her small body. “You sure about
that?” He took her little hand, his big one wrapping completely around her
wrist with room to spare, and pulled it to his crotch. “‘Cause I ain’t sure my
own Goddamned self.”
Instead of pulling away, she
wrapped those slim fingers around his cock through his jeans. “Absolutely,” she
answered. Did she sound a little breathless? “If that was the kind of man you
were, you wouldn’t have rescued me from those creeps in the first place.”
Beast let go of her wrist
but covered her hand with his, pressing it against his dick so he could move a
little and have at least some of the friction he wanted. “You’re gonna be the
fuckin’ death of me, woman.”
