Paradise Bound by Deanna Wadsworth
Pride of the Caribbean, Book 4
Sailing aboard the Pride of the Caribbean for yet another wedding, still-single tattoo artist Marcus Rodriguez is determined to enjoy himself, his friends, and spend some overdue time sketching and drawing for himself, rather than creating awesome flash for his clients. He certainly isn’t going to spend all his spare time searching for an elusive man named Dane who he can’t seem to get out of his mind.
Dane has had a rough life since the fall of the Royal Fae Court, but at least he’s finally free from the clutches of his evil captors. He’s living with his king and other paras aboard a magical sanctuary ship in the Caribbean. But just when this fairy thinks he could finally be safe and happy, the Goddess drops another bombshell.
The missing piece of his soul and the key to fixing his broken magic is human.
The Pride might be paradise bound, but there won’t be any smooth sailing on this cruise! Between conniving gargoyles, mysterious drawings, missing paras, and evil warlocks, if Marcus and Dane don’t work hard to make their bond one of love, they’ll be bound in a relationship they can’t escape.

Dane put his back to Marcus and flipped through the book again. “It’s all true. Magickind are real. We now call ourselves paras, as in paranormals. There are few of us left anymore, and this ship is a sanctuary for our kind. All the wild parties and costumes are so we can hide in plain sight. It’s probably the safest place in this realm, because humans only see what they want, within their limited scope, of course.” “Limited scope?” Dane shrugged. “Most of your friends have magic, yet you didn’t know. Limited. Scope.” While he wanted to be offended by Dane’s snide tone, the puzzle pieces began clicking together and his mind switched gears. “What are Nathan and Josh?” He’d known his friends had a bizarre secret, but he never would’ve guessed magic might be a part of it. “Josh is human, but Nathan is a partial demon. To be precise, he’s partial incubus,” he said with an irritated twist. A sex demon? Maybe they were having kinky sex parties. Bastards, why hadn’t they invited him? He shook his head. He was not interested in seeing his cousin getting freaky. Actually, Marcus hadn’t been interested in any man for months. Regardless of all the wacky things Dane spouted, Marcus still just wanted Dane. Only Dane. “How are you drawing us, Marcus?” he demanded again. “I don’t know,” Marcus cried, confused and frustrated. “It’s like I just look, and I don’t know? Ideas come to me like someone whispered them. A muse, maybe? I don’t know.” “Someone is whispering to you?” Dane clarified. “Is it a male or female voice? Is it familiar?” “No!” Marcus shook his head. “There’s no actual voice.” Please God, don’t let me hear voices. He crossed himself for good measure and wished he could kiss his cross that he’d locked in the safe. “It’s just a feeling. Like I look at something and an idea pops into my head. You know, I’m an artist and that’s kinda what artists do. You don’t ask a writer where they get their ideas. Shit just comes to them, the same thing with me.” “This is more than writing a novel or drawing a tattoo,” Dane insisted. “You’re seeing people’s true identity. It’s dangerous.” “Why? Do you think I’m gonna tell people mermen and fairies are real?” He laughed. “They’d lock me up and throw away the key.” A cold shiver itched down his back, and he shook his head as awful realities swamped his thoughts. “No. This isn’t real. I’m hallucinating.” Fuck, I am becoming my father. “Oh, no!” Dane gasped in pain. Then he buckled over, gripping the back of a chair, skin flushed, his breathing suddenly ragged. Marcus jumped up and reached for him, pausing before touching. “Are you okay? What’s wrong? Are you in pain?” Dane’s face contorted and when he looked at him, shockingly Marcus’s dick perked up. Dane’s pupils were blown with lust, the beautiful lilac barely visible, his lips swollen and pink as if recently kissed. “Oh no,” Dane muttered, face crumpling in horror. “This can’t be happening right now. Damn him!” “Damn who? Who’s him?” When Marcus touched his arm, Dane convulsed. “No!” He jerked away. Was something horrible happening to his new friend? “What’s going on? Tell me. Should I get help?” Wildly, Dane shook his head. “You’re the only person who can help me, but I need to leave.” Then his face strained like he was seconds away from having a heart attack… or maybe shooting a load. Honestly, it looked like it could go either way. “If I can help, let me help you,” Marcus insisted, both worried and irritated at himself for how turned-on Dane’s expression made him. Talk about inappropriate! “It’s Nathan.” Totally not what Marcus expected him to say. He fought down a jealous growl. “What about him?” “Is he on this deck?” “Yeah, just a few doors down. Why?” “He’s an incubus which means he’s got dark magic. I’m neutral magic. Magic is light, dark, and neutral. Fae can’t get high or drunk in this realm, but we can get high and drunk off dark demon magic. Especially because he’s having sex. Right. Now.” “How could you possibly know that?” “Every single Fae on board knows it!” He grabbed his dick through his pants, and it was hard and bulging. The little wet spot stunned Marcus. “Goddess damn him!” Marcus’s skin flushed. “Are you like horny or something?” he asked, suddenly feeling like a goofy twelve-year-old fighting a giggle. “How’d that happen?” “I have to go!” Dane cried, racing to the door. “He’s too close!” Marcus grabbed him by the shoulders before he took two steps. “No, let me help you.” “Do you know what helping me entails?” he asked in a rough, breathy voice. “I think I can guess.” Dane shuddered again, grabbing at his cock like a little kid who needed to pee. “Oh my Goddess.” He began to shake. “It hurts a lot. I gotta come.” “What can I do?” “Marcus, if I don’t leave right now, I’m gonna take you to that bed and do all kinds of things without your permission. You’re my mate and this is incubi magic. We’re already bonded so I can’t shut it out. Let me go.” Marcus stepped forward, looming over Dane. He didn’t understand what was happening, but his dick was about to get everything it had been dreaming about for months. He’d figure out the rest later. “Oh, you have my permission. Complete and total permission.”
