Garden of Desire: 1 Read online

  “What will you teach me next?” Fahgwat asked, already recovering her enthusiasm.

  Martha laughed, tucking her face into the corner of his shoulder.

  “Madam, you’ve created a monster.”

  Martha’s hand caressed his spent cock. “Perhaps, we could introduce her to the joys of spanking.”

  Cantor held his breath. How had he ever thought he’d be bored? He smoothed his hand over Martha’s ass and slipped a finger in the crease. “Or maybe backdoor sex?”

  Martha shivered deliciously. “Do you know what the women have chosen as the name for our planet?”

  “Adam said you all could name it. You’ve kept us men totally in the dark with your secret ballots.”

  Martha rose above him to look down into his face. “It’s Desire. You pirates have given us our hearts’ desire.”

  Cantor felt his heart expand. “It fits. It’s perfect.” He threaded his fingers through her hair and pulled her down, fitting his lips to hers.

  The women were wrong.

  They’d fought, plotted, and seduced, and finally given the pirates what they hadn’t known they sought—love.

  About Delilah Devlin

  Delilah Devlin dated a Samoan, a Venezuelan, a Turk, a Cuban and was engaged to a Greek before marrying her Irishman. She’s lived in Saudi Arabia, Germany and Ireland, but calls Texas home for now. Ever a risk taker, she lived in the Saudi Peninsula during the Gulf War, thwarted an attempted abduction by white slave traders and survived her children’s juvenile delinquencies.

  Creating alter egos for herself in the pages of her books enables her to live new adventures. Since discovering the sinful pleasure of erotica, she writes to satisfy her need for variety—it keeps her from running away with the Indian working in the cubicle beside her!

  In addition to writing erotica, she enjoys creating romantic comedies and suspense novels.

  Delilah welcomes comments from readers. You can find her website and email addresses on her author bio page at www.ellorascave.com.
