Viking’s desire is not only a sexy love story, but an exploration as well. It takes the reader from the quiet knolls of England to the stormy, remote terrain of the Vikings. It’s a thrilling, romantic adventure from start to finish.

 Sailing to the west of the Norse lands, the Vikings lay siege to an English castle inland.  After spying a raven haired beauty, who turns out to be Lillian, the lord’s daughter, Eriik, the Viking Jarl, is determined to take more than Saxon riches back to his home. 

In order to save her beloved home from complete destruction, Lillian accompanies Eriik and his band of raiders to his homeland.  Little does she know that not only is she losing her home and family, but will soon lose her heart to the wild, handsome Viking as well. 

For this stubborn, independent beauty, this might be the utmost indignity of all.

Viking’s desire is not only a sexy love story, but an exploration as well.  It takes the reader from the quiet knolls of England to the stormy, remote terrain of the Vikings.  It’s a thrilling, romantic adventure from start to finish.



     



Excerpt

Eriik led his men back to their camp on the beach and everyone started busying themselves for the night and the journey to come, everyone that is, except Lillian and the whores, who had followed behind. Lillian had never felt more uncomfortable in her entire life. The girls were talking amongst themselves, making bawdy comments about the men, trading uncouth stories about the nights they had spent with them, and Lillian was turning a brilliant shade of red. When one of the girls noticed her blushing, she put her arms around Lillian’s shoulders and said loudly enough for most everyone to hear, “Don’t worry dearie, you’ll have your turn soon enough with the big one. I’d even bet you’re a virgin too. Oh my, that should be a night to remember. Tell you what girlie, I’d be glad to trade places with ya, well not the virgin part. Don’t think I could pull that off. But I wouldn’t mind havin’ a go at that one, eh ladies?” All the women laughed and Lillian hid her face in her cloak.
Lillian was not only embarrassed, but terrified, and not for the first time that day.
She sat in the same place, unmoving until Eriik approached with some food and water and said unemotionally, “Eat”…which she did. Her stomach had been feeling none too well but after eating the surprisingly good fare, she started to feel a little better. She guessed she would stay there through the night as it seemed she was the only one without shelter, but before she could even finish that thought, Eriik came walking over to her with his usual long strides and she came to a different conclusion just by the look on his handsome face. Her conclusion seemed to be correct. He took her by the hand and swept her into his arms as if she were nothing but a small child. She thought about resisting but decided that would be utterly absurd, considering his size and strength. He would do what he would.
He set her down inside his tent and she stood straight and tall. She would not cower or beg. She would stand up to him and be her father’s daughter in every way, strong and unfaltering. She looked him straight in the eye, “Will you be raping me tonight?”
Eriik appreciated her directness, her straight spine and strong attitude. He also appreciated her full breasts, those wondrous emerald eyes and long dark hair. By Thor, how he wanted to caress her nipples and lave them with his tongue. Instead, he looked unaffected and said simply, “No. Wash up and get ready for sleep. Tomorrow will be a day like you’ve never had before and it will be arduous. You will need every minute of sleep and every ounce of energy you have. You will sleep in my robes. You’ll be safe. A vessel of water is in the basin in the corner. Use it quickly so we can retire.” She was so astonished, she could barely move, until he looked back, “Move!”
Eriik was taking off his clothes, all of his clothes. She looked away as quickly as she could. When she was finished at the basin, he was lying down, naked! She didn’t mean to look again but simply could not help herself. He was on his back with his hand over his eyes. She couldn’t tell if he was already asleep or not. She would have been surprised to know how wide awake he really was. Her eyes slowly traveled down his magnificent body, from the splendid muscles on his arms and chest to, oh my, the very male part of him that she couldn’t take her eyes off, even though she was chastising herself the entire time. What was wrong with her? That part of the male anatomy was certainly a mystery to her and it had not been of any interest at all until this minute. Now she couldn’t take her eyes off it. It brought to mind the knight’s stallions. Oh my, that thought made her blush as she turned quickly away and splashed more water on her face. After drying off again, she sat down in the corner.
Eriik looked up, “I said you’ll be sleeping in my robes tonight. Did I not make myself clear?”
“I will not sleep in the same bed with you. It’s not, well it’s just not proper.”
“Not proper? What in Odin’s name are you talking about girl?”
“You are not my husband and therefore I will not be sleeping in the same bed as you.”
“Well let me put it to you this way lady. You will either come over here by your own volition or I will truss you up and bring you over here by force. Your choice.” It would be better for you if you came yourself.” He looked at her as if she were an unruly child.
She decided she would be better off doing as he said. She tip toed to his make-shift bed and lay down as far away from him as she could get.
“Will you be sleeping in your traveling clothes?” he muttered.
“Yes indeed.”
“You will wish tomorrow that you had not. None of my business.”
He put his hands over his eyes again as if he were going to sleep.
Lillian, with all her might, still could not stop herself from staring when she thought he was asleep.
Eriik had never been more wide awake and very aware of her perusal of him, and it took every ounce of control he possessed to keep from becoming very thick and very hard. He knew he could not continue to do that for very much longer, so he turned away from her and let his imagination run amok. At every turn, when he thought of her creamy breasts, shapely waist and derriere, he grew heavy and hard. He was in abject misery. Why did he not take her? That’s what she was expecting after all. That was not his way, he wanted her eager, wet and willing, moaning and calling his name when he spilled his seed inside her. Yes, that’s what would make his release worthwhile. He could have any woman he wanted just to ram himself into. He didn’t understand exactly why he wanted this woman to be different, but he did, and at that moment he decided he would set out to win her into his robes willingly. After quite awhile his cock settled down and so did he. Sleep was filled with emerald eyes and burnished silk. When he awoke, remembering the wonderful dreams of her, he wondered if he would ever be able to keep his mind on something else? By Thor that was a good question.
 



Professional Reviews

By Dsaraceni
What a wonderful story of finding love in unexpected places. The Viking raiders came to get the riches and try and get out without a full on war. As Eriik and his men waited to get in the castle he noticed a beautiful young woman in the tower. Lillian would go to the tower to see this beautiful big blonde haired man as they waited for their next move. Eriik got what he came for and more. The story of Eriik and Lillian was full of danger...suspense...and the makings of true love. The author did a great job with the storyline and characters. Well written and it kept me interested from the beginning. A very enjoyable sexy story.

Timeless love story
The villain became the hero and the need to be loved won the day in this lovely story that transported back in time

Good read By Marcella
This is my first read from this author. I enjoyed the story very much. Errik and Lillian' s attraction for one another is inevitable, but they struggle to let the other know that they love one another. It reminds of a fairytale, their is an evil man that makes turmoil before they can live happily ever after.
