I Want You To Understand What Is Happening
Intended For Adult Audiences
This is a novelette of about 11,000 words that is Part 7 of 8 in a Paranormal BDSM erotica romance series.
It is finally time to go home to Seattle so Julia packs up all her new paintings and closes the door on her Odessa studio. She and Alexi make the all day trek back to the states to land in Seattle the day before Thanksgiving.
She is so excited to be at home she can barely contain herself. Domestic beer, pizza from her favorite pizza place, artisan coffee, the sight of Puget Sound, and the sound of her own language make her giddy with joy.
The only problem is, she has to face her parents. Julia and Alexi arrive at her parents party on Thanksgiving day. There is a crowd of family and friends to cover her from her parents' disguised insults, but she isn't so lucky. She has to finally come clean.
After the rush of the shopping weekend, Julia and Alexi find a swanky new apartment and go furniture shopping. Julia gets a new studio, and her paintings finally arrive from their long journey overseas.
They get moved into the apartment and studio, and finally go out to have a little fun at a strip club. That's when they meet a brand new witch who hasn't been turned yet. But Eva is younger and more on the edge than either of them could have imagined.
Excerpt from Compelled
I woke from the guest bed to the sound of crashing. I jumped up and ran to the kitchen to find Eva morphing in and out of reality. Her form went from girl to bird and back so quickly it seemed as if the two forms were superimposed.
Squawking and flapping mixed with the sound of curses and cries.
“What did you do to me?” she yelled, her form finally settling on girl.
“Eva. I wanted to explain last night. I just couldn’t tell you. I’m a coward. I’m sorry.”
“What’s happening to me!” her form flipped from girl to bird again. The bird squawked and flapped up into the cabinets, sending china crashing down on the floor. She settled into girl again, and stared at me wide eyed.
“Am I going crazy? I’m going to be one of those people who argues with trash cans!” She screamed and panted.
“No. Calm down. Please. It’s OK,” I said. I held my hands out in front of me and inched toward her to get a hold of her arm. Maybe if I held her she would stick in one form.
“What’s happening?” She sunk to the floor in a puddle of tears.
I threw my arms around her and sunk with her. Her body shook like a rumbling earth quake through gasping sobs. I rocked her and stroked her hair. She was still nude. I took my sweater off and put it around her shoulders.
“Eva. I have to explain. You are a witch. I could see it last night at the club. I couldn’t tell what kind of witch you were, but I see it now. You’re a shifter.”
“What does that mean?” she said through the sobs.
