Blind Beast Mate
By Milana Jacks
Genre: Dystopian Erotic Romance
Publisher: Inked Refuge
Date of Publication: September 3, 2016
Since the day Rey’s defiance earned her a blinding blow to the head, fear has hovered as close as the guide dog that clings to her side. But the terror that grips her now is almost beyond description.
Like her sister before her, Rey has been sold to satisfy the lusts of one of the alien Beasts that now rule the Earth. If the towering, leather-clad Alpha discovers his prize can’t see, he could kill her with a flick of his claw. Or worse, send her home—where the only mercy she’ll get is a bullet.
From the moment the Alpha Beast spotted Rey smiling tenderly at her flowers, his desire to own her, body and soul, roared louder than his bike’s throaty engine. But the only smiles his new pair aims his way are forced—and oddly off target. She is liquid heat in his arms, yet ignores the notes and gifts he leaves for her.
If he can’t win her over, he can’t trust her with his own truth. And the combined weight of their secrets could destroy everything.

The Alpha Beast tasted fresh, a hint of mint and lemon on his expert tongue, not a trace of stale beer or someone else’s night-before lipstick. Growing up with a community whore had thought me to appreciate the small things and rejoice in those small things even at the most terrifying moments. I didn’t know what would happen to me with this man, but at least he didn’t taste bad on my sensitive palate.
After a minute, his kissing slowed and his tongue stopped moving. Not knowing what else to do, I stroked it with mine. With the tip of my tongue, I flicked his. The Alpha Beast groaned into my mouth and pressed me closer. He was so hard, I thought he might burst out of his pants and take me right over his bike. He could do what he wanted with me. I was his pair.
His lips left mine. My mouth still gaped, and my lips tingled from rubbing on his stubble. I’d never been taken like this before. The Alpha Beast chuckled, probably at my gaping mouth, and his rough, two-day-unshaven cheek brushed my soft one as his sharp teeth nibbled my ear. He whispered, “Your uncle swore to me you are a virgin. Swore up and down nobody’s spoiled you, and charged me an arm and a leg for your virginal pussy. Let’s be clear in case you aren’t. Tell me now so I don’t gotta drive back to collect his arm and a leg.”
I wasn’t a virgin, but I’d protected myself from abuse. In fact, I was so good at protecting myself that I traded rape trauma for a life of blindness. A trade no woman should have to make. I swiped away those memories and focused on the now.
The silence in the yard never sounded louder. I estimated that between his beasts and the community’s humans, about three hundred people watched and listened. Even Dark had stopped barking. “Can we talk about this later?” I whispered.
“No. Answer me.”
My body was still bent back, and he appeared a dark mass against the lit sky. I gripped the back of his head and tried to pull him down so I could whisper in his ear. I tugged, but he didn’t budge. Okay, then. “Maybe,” I said.
“Twenty says there be bloody sheets!” someone shouted.
I would’ve liked to keep our business private.
The Alpha Beast straightened, and three hard thumps sounded. He might’ve thumped his chest, but I wasn’t sure. It sounded suspiciously like something a gorilla did. He picked me up and plopped my ass on the back of his bike. The way he manhandled me suited me fine. He could move me from one place to the next all he wanted. Next, he removed my sunglasses and paused.

Hello! Thank you for having me on your blog. The following interview with Rey was conducted before I wrote her story, the Blind Beast Mate.
______
The kitchen sparkled. The scent of orange cleaner pleasantly replacing the desperation imbedded into the stained walls of a small home on the edges of Community Seven. Rey sat down with me at the round kitchen table, her greyhound plastered to her leg. His eyes followed my hand as I pressed the record button on my phone. “Thank you for having me today. I’ll get started with the questions. What would make you happy?”
Rey smiled a sad smile and adjusted the sunglasses over her eyes. “I don’t really know how to answer that. I take it one day at the time.”
I cleared my throat, ready to move with the purpose of the interview. “The women from the communities are sold to alien Beasts. How do you feel about that?”
Rey shrugged. “The Communities provide for the aliens in exchange for money. If they don’t buy wives, we have nothing to eat, so it works.”
“If you get sold, you won’t mind?”
“Oh, I’m not in the Pairing Program anymore.” She pointed to her sunglasses. “Ever since my accident.”
“What about your sister?”
Rey straightened her spine. “What about her?”
“Rumors have it, she ran back and is hiding here at the community.”
“I don’t know anything about that. Excuse me, I need to water my flowers and see if they need help in the kitchens.”
“Sure. Do you mind if I come with you?”
“I guess. You could get the water.” She pointed to the yellow pitcher on the counter. Pitcher in hand I followed her outside. With her guide dog left in the kitchen, Rey walked with confidence. I guessed she knew where she stepped. This was her home, after all. I was curious about her accident but I didn’t press.
Outside, I squinted my eyes against the California sun and caught a glimpse of the Alpha Beast and his brother speaking with the community leader, Rey’s uncle. I crouched by Rey whose fingertips brushed over the purple flower I wasn’t familiar with. “The Alpha Beast is here,” I told her.
Rey shrugged. “One of them is always snooping around.”
I snuck a peek at the Beasts and passed her the pitcher.
The Alpha Beast stared at Rey and took a step forward as if to approach us. I clutched my phone. His brother placed a hand over the Alpha’s chest as the uncle turned around. All three men observed her watering flowers, and when her uncle smiled, suddenly, I thought walking outside was a mistake.
“Okay! All done,” Rey said and stood. “Coming to the kitchens?”
“No,” I told her. “I’m out of here.” Inwardly, I wished her good luck. She’d need it.
