Wounded Pride. Gesa's Menagerie, #5

So many lovers, so little...sanity. Gesa is dealing with a sickening overabundance of FEELINGS. No matter how she might resist it, her gryphon side insists she claim her pride--as if she were a damned alpha lion. But she has other priorities. Like getting rid of the squatters in her bookstore home, keeping Hisashi from going insane...and what the hell is up with Oisin? Danger is looming, and the pride might not make it out intact.  Author's Note:I was tired of reading the same old thing over and over again in reverse harem.
Sick of all alpha male and fainting female all the time-and desperate to be able to tell the male characters apart-I tried to infuse some variety into my story. Gesa might not be your cup of tea, and that's okay-she doesn't care. Her lovers are as varied in physicality and personality as they are in supernatural race. And the characters all have their own definition of sexuality. I know reverse harem is all about the fantasy, and my fantasy is a bit outside the norm.
