Chained (Brides of the Kindred) (46 page)

Think-Me
—a
thin silver wire worn around the temples which facilitates mental communication
between people who already have an intimate connection.

Touch-U
—a
flat black mat-like animal native to Tranq Prime which the Kindred have adapted
to be a home health appliance. The Touch-U is capable of giving a gentle
massage or an all-out erotic experience depending on which button is pushed.

Twin
Kindred
—come from Twin Moons—a world of vast, stormy oceans dotted with
craggy but beautiful islands. True to their namesake, Twin Kindred always come
in pairs. The brothers are not identical, however. There is always a light twin
and a dark twin. These labels refer not just to skin, hair, and eye coloring
but to the twin’s moods and perceptions of the world. The dark twin in the pair
is usually more moody and withdrawn while the light twin takes a substantially
brighter view of life. The twins are closely linked and able to sense each
other’s emotions. They cannot be separated by long distances or for long
periods of time without severe pain. They must also share a woman, linking her
into their mental and emotional exchange for very intense ménage sex.

Urlich—
a
type of dog bred by the Scourge. At maturity they are modified with machinery
to heighten their sense of smell and intelligence which results in a
cyborg-type animal. Once in pursuit of whatever scent has been programmed into
their brains, the
urlich
are utterly
single minded and incapable of stopping until their prey has been cornered and
captured.

Wave
—a
Kindred cooking appliance which emits thousands of finely collimated beams of
heat to cook food in under a minute.

Zichther
—an
animal native to the jungles of Rageron, the zichther resembles a small bright
blue teddy bear in appearance until it opens its mouth and reveals three rows
of incredibly sharp, shark-like teeth.

About the Author

Evangeline Anderson is a registered
MRI tech who would rather be writing. And yes, she is nerdy enough to have a
bumper sticker that says “I’d rather be writing.” Honk if you see her! She is
thirty-something and lives in Florida with a husband, a son, and two cats. She
had been writing erotic fiction for her own gratification for a number of years
before it occurred to her to try and get paid for it. To her delight, she found
that it was actually possible to get money for having a dirty mind and she has
been writing paranormal and Sci-fi erotica steadily ever since.
