This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to persons, living or dead, or places, events or locales

is purely coincidental. The characters are productions of the authors’ imagination and used fictitiously.

Warning:

The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. This story has been

rated E–rotic by a minimum of three independent reviewers.

Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-

rotic), and X (X-treme).

S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.

E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall

word count. In addition, some E-rated titles might contain fantasy material that some readers find

objectionable, such as bondage, submission, same sex encounters, forced seductions, and so forth. E-rated

titles are the most graphic titles we carry; it is common, for instance, for an author to use words such as

“fucking”, “cock”, “pussy”, and such within their work of literature.

X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Unlike E-rated titles,

stories designated with the letter X tend to contain controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Spirit Flight

Chapter One

Marisa Lacoste doubled over as pain sliced through her side.

Run. Keep running. Run. Run. Run.

The words pounded through her in time to a heart that felt like it was going to burst

out of her chest. She panted. Sucking in air while the pain in her side kept her still for a

minute.

She had no idea if they were behind her. At this point she had no idea if they even

realized she was no longer out sketching impressions of the mountains.

Stupid! She’d been so stupid. So unaware. So naïve.

A different kind of pain twisted through her. How could Ethan be involved in this?

And for money. He knew the most important thing to her was her art. It was all she’d

cared about since she was old enough to hold a crayon.

Tears threatened, from the emotional pain as well as the physical. She tried to quiet

her breathing so she’d be able to hear them if they came crashing after her. Tried to

force herself to breathe through her nose, realizing as she did so that her throat and

lungs were starting to ache from gasping the cold mountain air of the Cascades.

A rumble sounded in the distance. Thunder to go with the darkening sky as the

gray clouds were starting to gather.

Tears trickled down her face and Marisa brushed them away impatiently. Tears

wouldn’t do any good now and she couldn’t allow herself the luxury of them.

Maybe later. When she found her way off the mountain. When she flagged down a

car or found a call box. When she got back to the last town they’d stopped in. Hohoq—

so small it wasn’t even on the map.
