Barbarian Box Set: Barbarians of Zandipor Books One, Two and Three

“I know, right?” Rolanda says, swaying to the beat on her swollen feet. “Sometimes I wonder if I had the chance to go back and stop myself from going to that stupid movie, if I would do it. I don’t think I would.”

“How dare you,” Avery says, her face dropping as she glares at Rolanda. “Love in all Angles is not stupid. It’s the best book ever written and the movie, if we ever got to see it, would have been the best movie ever made!”

“Okay,” Rolanda says with a laugh. “Relax there psycho.”

I just laugh. Avery was so obsessed with that book. So was I, but Avery was on another level with her obsession. We’re both still upset that we didn’t get to see the movie version, but Rolanda doesn’t seem to care. She hadn’t even read the book.

“My Mandy,” Straykeer says, walking over with a sexy grin on his face. He’s had a few drinks. I can tell by the way his cheeks are a darker shade of blue.

My pulse races as heat swirls through me. Straykeer is an animal in the sack after a few drinks and he’s been even friskier than usual from seeing me pregnant with his baby. This night is going to be a good one.

“Got to go, girls,” I say blowing them a kiss as I waddle over to meet my man.

He licks his lips as he looks me up and down. My pussy is already tingling from imagining his sexy lips on it.

“Hey, stranger,” I say, sliding my fingertip over the ridges of his carved abs. “Do you come here often?”

“Yes,” he says, looking at me funny. “The ferocious and dominant Straykeer came here last night. So did my Mandy. Do you not remember?”

“I’m just-nevermind,” I say, stepping on my toes to give him a kiss. My large belly bumps into his hard body and I giggle when I can’t reach his lips.

He gives me a sexy grin and then leans down, pressing his tingling lips to mine. Fuck I love that feeling. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, even for my life back on earth.

This past month with Straykeer has been unreal. He’s been amazing. Truly amazing.

I was nervous at first to be pregnant on such a harsh alien planet but my sexy mate has really made it feel like home.

He’s been so sweet, making sure that I’m always okay. He rubs my sore feet before bed as he sings softly to the baby in my stomach.

My sexual appetite has gone through the roof with all of the crazy pregnancy hormones invading my body but Straykeer has risen to the challenge and he takes care of me every night until I’m begging him to stop.

But it’s not just the toe-curling sex that has me falling in love with him more and more every day. He’s so sweet and I love talking to him. He listens attentively to every word that I say and he’s so caring and loving. The guy never has a bad thing to say about anyone, and I love that. He’s so different from all of the selfish jerks that I dated back home.

“Straykeer,” I say, wrapping my arm around his thick forearm as we walk back to our cute little house. I gaze up at the stars and the beautiful moons in the sky. “What do you think our son is going to be like?” Tin Tom had confirmed with his scanner that we’re having a boy.

I picture a light blue little boy who at five-years-old is already stronger than me, running around the village and causing trouble for all of the villagers. He’ll grow up to be a fierce warrior like his father but a stern look from me will still send him cowering to his room. I smile as I picture his face. He’ll have the strong nose of his father with my high cheekbones. His smile will be his alone and will come often and easily.

I can’t wait.

“The child of the dominant Straykeer will be as fast as the strike of a wicker and as powerful as the jaws of the many fanged beast,” he says, puffing out his massive chest as he walks.

“But what about his personality?” I ask, biting my bottom lip. “What is he going to be like?”

He stops and turns me in his arms, gazing down at me with loving eyes. “Straykeer hopes that his son is like his Mandy. She is the most wonderful thing in the world and the ferocious Straykeer wants a son just like her.”

“Ahhh,” I moan as I give him a hug.

“And he will be the most dominant warrior that Zandipor has ever seen!” he shouts.

“There it is,” I whisper, giggling into his sexy chest.

“Mandy!” Avery hollers.

I pull away and look around but she is nowhere to be seen. She turns the corner and comes waddling down the path like there’s a T-Rex on her tail.

“Mandy!” she screams, her eyes wide, her mouth open. I can see her heart pounding in her chest.

Straykeer releases me and stiffens as he looks around for any signs of danger. His hand slides to the handle of the bone sword strapped to his back.

“What’s the matter?” I ask quickly. “Is everything okay?”

“Okay?” she hollers, her voice full of panic. “Everything is not okay. It’s fucking super Goddamn fantastic is what it is.”

My shoulders drop as I take a breath of relief. “Why?” I ask with my hands out. “Why do you do that?”

She just grabs my hands and yanks me in the direction that she came, ignoring my question. “I got one hell of a surprise for you,” she says, her eyes lit up with excitement.
