Kasadya: Hellhound Defined (Book #4 of the Kasadya Series)

For centuries his only reason for existence was to destroy evil.  But when he finally found his mate, that all changed for the deadly Chax De Luca. When the hellhound Kasadya captured his heart, he surrended it to her, thinking he’d finally found what he’d been looking for. Little did he know that his mate would sacrifice herself to save them all.

His fury is legend. His wrath, merciless. His love for his mate, undeniable. He’s going to hell to retrieve his heart, and if that means that he must destroy hell itself, then so be it.

Kasadya awakes to a world in peril, her mate forever changed, and a war filled with evil creatures intending to enter Earth’s realm and destroy all that she holds dear. Can she complete her divinity in time to save her loved ones and mankind? Will she have to choose? Or will all be lost in the final battle?

The final battle is here, and with it, secrets are revealed and worlds are changed forever.

Some fun with no strings attached.

That’s what 16 year old Gigi Reid wants after breaking up with her boyfriend of two years, Cole. When Jimmy, the new student, suggests the idea, Gigi agrees almost immediately.

He offers to ‘take one for the team’ and help her out because he doesn’t know anyone and didn’t want a relationship either, To Gigi it was the perfect set up for the both of them. They would have fun but part ways if either found someone they liked.

So the fun begins…

Gigi loves making out with Jimmy and not having to worry about anything. She even likes that he liked her enough to become jealous that another boy liked her. It was flattering. Finally he declares his feelings to her and she decides to make it official: she becomes Jimmy’s girlfriend.

But then he starts telling her what to wear, and how to act. He gets mad at the simplest things and they fight more then they make out. Then he wants to go farther…and guilts her into doing just that.

Gigi wants out of the relationship and away from Jimmy, the decision is easy to make. But actually getting out puts Gigi in a life or death situation

Excerpt-

“Yeah I get that. You don’t want to rush into anything.” Jimmy took a step, closing the gap between us. “You may not need a relationship at all. Do you want to know my expert opinion?”

“Are you a love doctor or something?”

”Or something,” Jimmy said. Our breaths mingled. “So do you want to hear my prognosis?”

“Sure.” I licked my lips. The living room felt uncomfortably warm.

“I think you need a hook up,” Jimmy said. “Nothing too intense, just someone to make out with. No strings.”

“A hook up?”

“Yeah.” Jimmy leaned in until we were cheek to cheek. ”Someone who makes your toes curl and your head spin. Someone you can have fun with.” He stepped back and grinned at me. “What do you think?” I paused, trying to get my brain to start up again. “Hm?”

“I think it’s something to think about,” I managed to get out. “I don’t know who to even pick for that.”

“I’ll take one for the team,” Jimmy said. I opened my mouth but he put a finger to my lips. “Before you say anything, yes I know you’re friend likes me and I like her. She’s a sweet girl. I’m just not sure she’s a good fit for me. I’m going out on one date with her, or I will be once I ask her. I’m not planning anything farther than that. I just want you to know that. I don’t want you to think that we are doing anything wrong just because Lidia likes me a lot. I’m not with her and I don’t know if I will be.”

“Why not?” I asked.

“Because I like you. Like that, if you know what I mean.” Jimmy shrugged. “I like you’re spunk and your fierceness. But I don’t want to be your rebound from Cole. I’m not sure if I’m even ready for a relationship, with just moving and all. That’s why I thought the friends with benefits would be good for us, for now. No strings attached. If either of us finds someone we like and want to date more than each other then it stops and we part ways, no problems. Clean cut. What do you think?” I looked out the window behind Jimmy and noticed the rain stopped. The trees glistened in the unexpected sunlight and cars rolled over the puddles, splashing the water onto the sidewalk. There was a car in Jimmy’s driveway but I didn’t say anything. I didn’t want him to go, not just yet. “So Gigi, what do you think? Do you want to be my friend with benefit?” Say no. You are better than friends with benefits status. And what about Lidia? If you do this to Lidia she will never forgive you. It’s a bad idea and you might get a reputation. “Gigi?” If anyone asks later on what I was thinking I would tell them I went temporarily insane. That was the only excuse I could think of that would explain what I was about to do.

“Do you know you talk too much?” I asked him as I put my arms on his shoulders. The heat was immediate and flushed through my whole body. I stood on tip toes and let my lips brush his ear. “Just kiss me.” I felt Jimmy’s hand in my hair before his lips found mine. My body imploded and every single atom tingled. For once I was finished thinking about my every move and the outcome. I would just go with the ‘now’. I would be in the moment and deal with everything else later.

Jimmy tangled his fingers in my hair, tickling the back of my neck. His lips were soft and supple, they tasted lightly of coconut. His tongue flicked over my bottom lip but he didn’t make a move to do anymore. I was the one who pushed against Jimmy’s shoulders, bringing him closer and deepening the kiss. He dropped his hands from my neck to my waist, squeezing the skin on my hips and making my body hum in anticipation of the next move. It was like my body was waking up after a long hibernation. I felt feelings and things I never felt before. My fingers itched to take off Jimmy’s shirt and feel the warm skin underneath. He broke away from my lips to kiss my cheek, jaw, and then nuzzle my neck. It lasted only a second before we were lip locked again and this time we were moving. He pushed me gently against the wall and bent into me. I wrapped my legs in between his. I tilted my head, trying to get more, feel more.

I heard the grinding of gears and my eyes snapped open. Both of us froze, still embraced, and that’s when I heard the familiar squeaking coming from the kitchen. It was the garage door. I pushed Jimmy away but he didn’t say a word. Jimmy grabbed his clothes and I grabbed the towel.

“I’ll see you in school tomorrow,” Jimmy said before planting a kiss on my forehead.

Excerpt-

Emma's fake, contact enhanced, green eyes turned into slits as she slithered closer to me. Despite the difference in size and strength, with me being the stronger one, I still shrunk away from Emma. Unfortunately she noticed and her smirk widened into a grin. "Look at what we have here, ladies. Chastity is actually afraid of us."

       "Afraid?" Nickole said. Her curly blond hair bounced as she talked. "No I don't think she's afraid. I just think she's jealous. I mean who wouldn't be jealous of us? We don't have to shop in the fat ladies stores." A lump formed in my throat. "And we don't have to worry about our friends, guy friends none the less, being thinner than us. If I were her I would be jealous."

       "If I were her-" Gabby added. Her Latin skin was even darker despite the fact that it was November and winter hit full force. The sun hadn't been out in weeks. "If I were her I would just want to kill myself...really." The girls laughed as they stared at me. "Go ahead Chastity, kill yourself. You know you've thought about it and I promise, no one will miss you."

       "Leave her alone," Kevin said, taking a step in front of me. He was doing his best to try to shield me from them. "At least she's real unlike the four of you."

            "Yeah real fat you mean," Emma said. There was a pause. "So tell me something, Chastity. Did your parents name you Chastity because they knew that you would never have a guy desperate enough to sleep with you?"

Excerpt-

I was barely out the bookstore door when I heard Xavier calling my name. I ignored him, quickening my pace, but he caught up quickly and grabbed my upper arm. Everyone on the street walking stopped and stared. Behind Xavier I saw Noel. She was glaring at me, her eyes narrowed, and her plastic finger nails tapping on her arm. She was chewing gum and constantly blew bubbles. In the sun her white dress became sheer and I averted my eyes, too disgusted to look at what she didn’t have on.

“Leave me alone Xavier,” I said before he could open his mouth. “You made it obnoxiously clear that I don’t mean anything to you so stop bothering me. I didn’t come to this town because I knew you were coming nor did I visit this bookstore in hopes of seeing you. Honestly I couldn’t care less if I saw you.” Okay so that was a bold face lie I just hoped that Xavier did not see right through it. He also didn’t need to know how he made my heart stutter or my legs become spaghetti. The less he knew about how he affected me, the better off we would both be.

“I didn’t mean that. Listen Noel sometimes is a little much, gets a little paranoid. I haven’t been able to deal with her mood swings lately and I’m just doing my best not to set her off. You don’t know what it’s like when she’s in one of her moods.”

“Then why are you even with her?” I questioned. “If she’s so bad then why stay with her? Is she just that great at sex?” I couldn’t believe the iciness in my voice. Nothing had ever had this much affect on me, not even finding out that Jullian had lied to me.

More people were staring but this time I didn’t care. Let them see that the supposedly famous Xavier Marsh get reamed out by the new stranger. It would be great dinner table talk. The least I could do was to give these people some excitement in their small town. I was sure that they didn’t get much of that.

“It was a futile attempt to get over you, okay?” Xavier said. I could tell he was forcing himself to keep his voice strong, controlled.

“That is such bull,” I said. “What, couldn’t think of a better lie?”

“It’s not a lie, it’s the truth whether you believe it or not,” Xavier growled “You can’t tell me you didn’t do the same thing. I know for a fact that you did.” The way Xavier said it made me uneasy. What the hell is he talking about? “Don’t look at me like that, Chastity. I know that after I left, you and Jullian hooked up. I came to try and find you, about a week after my eighteenth birthday. I couldn’t wait to see you because I knew I had a lot of explaining to do. I couldn’t wait to start over with you. But when I finally found you at the park, you were on the swings and Jullian was behind you. He was pushing you and you…you looked like you were pregnant.” Before the words even hit my ears, I covered my face with my hands. I knew exactly when he was talking about too. I felt sick to my stomach.
