Today we meet Silas, the hero of His To Breed, which is due out tomorrow! A few days ago was a portion of the prequel to this scene so if you haven't read that, click here. Today Rowan meets Silas just as she's being led to the examining room where the doctors are waiting to conduct her medical exam.
* * * *
“Take her to the examining room. The doctors are ready for her. Bind her if she gives you
any trouble,” Commander ordered the guards who had brought her to the platform.
The guards took her roughly by the arms, every one of their movements agony on her
bruised body as they made their way into the massive building that housed the breeders. As they
marched her down the corridor and to the stairs that would lead to the medical rooms, she heard a
roar she would have thought only an animal could make. When a door opened, she and her guards
all turned their heads in the direction of the commotion. There, a giant of a man who dwarfed even
the six-foot tall men of the colony, gripped a guard by the throat and pushed him hard against the
wall.
“Do. Not. Touch. Me. Again.”
Rowan’s mouth fell open and she stopped breathing altogether at the deep, dark rumble
that was his voice. His black hair was thick and his face was covered with a beard she’d only ever
seen in old pictures. Since the epidemic that killed so many and rendered the majority of the population sterile, the men no longer grew facial hair, or if they did, it was nothing like this. She
watched as he lifted the guard who had his attention off his feet, still holding him by his neck.
The guard gurgled and kicked his legs, his face growing redder, but the man, the man she
knew was one who lived in one of the settlements outside of the colonies, held him there and
looked over each of the other seven guards who stood and watched in disbelief.
“I am not your prisoner,” he said. “Do not make that mistake again.” With that, he let go
of the man he held and let him fall with a thud to the floor.
It was in that moment that he turned his gaze in her direction. His eyes were a color she’d
never seen within the colony, a bright, clear almost magnetic cobalt blue. Within them, she
glimpsed something she did not expect to find there: intelligence. The men from outside of the
colonies lived like beasts. They were violent, barbaric. It’s what she had been taught all her life.
For a long moment, his eyes bore into hers until the guards who held her suddenly became
animated again.
“Move,” one said.
They tugged her forward and she went, glancing once over her shoulder to find him still
watching her. She’d never seen anything like him before, his skin was darkened by the sun and
hair covered his arms and part of his face. His right arm and the side of his neck were decorated in
some sort of ink, the pattern the most intricate art she had ever seen.
But her thoughts were interrupted when the door opened before
her and she eyed the doctors waiting there, all in white coats, their hands already gloved, the room
stinking of sterilizing solution, the cold steel table fitted with restraints empty and waiting for her.
That was when she realized her ordeal had only just begun.
* * * * * * * *
In the
aftermath of a plague which brought civilization to its knees and left most of
the world’s female population sterile, breeders—the few women who remain
fertile—have become a precious commodity. Breeders live in relative comfort, but
upon reaching adulthood they are tasked with bearing one child after another to
carry on the species. Frequent medical assessments keep the breeders healthy
and harsh punishments keep them in line.
As a
breeder who has just come of age, Rowan knows she will soon be little more than
a slave, but when she dares to resist her fate the penalty is severe. After a
shameful, public chastisement and a thorough, humiliating examination to
determine her suitability for child-bearing, Rowan is given to a savage from outside
the community—a huge brute of a man named Silas—to be bred.
Against
all expectations, Rowan finds herself drawn to her new captor. Brave, ruggedly
handsome, and even kind at times, Silas is everything the men who enslaved her
were not. When the time comes for him to breed her, despite the circumstances something
deep inside her begs for him to take her long and hard. But while she soon finds
herself longing to be his forever, Rowan knows that eventually those who gave
her to him will try to take her back. When that day comes will Silas fight to
keep her at his side even if it means risking everything he loves?
