Ronin

Warning: For Mature Adult Audiences. Contains language and actions some may deem offensive. M/FHaunted by the memory of an incredible night in the arms of an amazing woman, Ronin is frustrated that she now acts like she wants nothing to do with him. He refuses to accept that. Growing up with nothing of his own, he's fought hard to leave behind a world of mindless fighting and drug abuse. He wants a fresh start, and he's ready to fight for what he wants most.
Sersan has been lonely her whole life, despite having an overprotective brother and a handful of friends. As a Reptan, half human and half Leptan, she is too different to be easily accepted by either species. She's always done what was expected of her, but she longs to do something for herself. One moment of weakness brought her a night of passion in the arms of a man she's always admired, and for the first time she feels desirable and loved.
Letting him go is a lot harder than she ever expected, and she realizes her moment of weakness has come with a cost. With seemingly insurmountable odds against them, these two seem fated to go their separate ways, lonely and broken. Is there any chance they will find that the best things in life are worth fighting for?
