Yes, he will train the stubborn human and punish her when needed, but when Blue willingly opens her legs for him, he understands the depths of his twisted desires.Selling her can be his only option.The gritty, violent world of Aerthe will crush the life and spirit of anyone not able to fight for their … not able to fight for their existence with weapons, teeth, and claws.
But Blue is from Earth.
Having recently escaped from being kept as a blood-slave, being owned is way down at the bottom of Blue’s bucket list. If she can’t escape, maybe she’ll do the next-best thing and take down Sassik while trying.
This is a dark romance with rough sexual scenes and kink.
Fated Possession was originally published in the Alien Alphas anthology.
It can also be found as a bonus story in Branded Possession, Book 3 in The Machinery of Desire series, and is a spin-off story based in the same world of Aerthe.

“science went away and got drunk and forgot to be sensible”
Read as part of the complete Machinery Of Desire series set available from Amazon.
Really enjoying the way this world hangs together. This will work better as a continuation of the first two books in the series, but could be read as a stand-alone.
Recommended.
OMG! I loved this one! Blue is sassy and daring to the point of insanity. Sassik is dark, dangerous, and sweet underneath all that toughness. I loved their chemistry, they way they tried to deny their feelings, and the surprise ending. I totally wasn’t expecting that and I now have more questions than I did before. I’m not sure how many books Ms. Silverwood is planning on doing in this twisted world but I hope the series goes on forever. The more I learn about Aerthe and the different species who live there the more I want to know. This is a must read for people who like a complex plot, interesting characters, and a little pain with their pleasure.
I read this book as part of the Alien Alphas Box Set, although it’s part of the Machinery of Desire series. Blue didn’t expect to escape the chains of ownership only to find herself a slave to another more dangerous owner! This short read had all the sexy and kinky tidbits I was hoping for, as well as some good old fashioned chemistry! Sassik has plans that don’t include having a feisty slave who keeps his lusty desires cranked up. I loved this gem that fit right into the MoD series.
Blue and Sassik!
A love story that can only happen this way on Aerthe.
Blue, recently snatched from Earth, escapes from a Swathe but instead of being free, she falls into the hands of a roaming Scav band. They either want to use her or sell her to the highest bidder. Sassik, disillusioned, a curious mix of mediator, killer, slave trainer, buys Blue off her captors. At first this seems a strict bussiness deal, buy her off the men who caught her, train her as a submissive– no feelings involved–sell her to the highest bidder. Easy!
Well, not quite. During their time together, they begin to get to know each other not only as master and sub, but as individuals. The awareness of who they are, puts them on their way to the real meaning of their lives. And what they find is a true surprise.
Being by Ms Silverwood, this story has all the hallmarks of her Possession series. Scorching hot scenes that will make you twitch and wiggle while reading! And on the other hand a much deeper meaning that will carry on into the rest of the series.
Delicious!
This fast-paced read takes place in the Machinery of Desire World but can easily be read as a stand- alone. This is the story of Blue and Sassik. Blue is a blood slave who escapes and ends up in the hands of Sassik, who is unsure what to do with her. The end up working together to learn more about this living planet called Aerthe and discover its mysteries. While on this journey Sassik is all too happy to discipline Blue any way he sees fit. Will he really be able to let her go? Intense, off the charts of with plenty of twists and turns. A great addition to this series.
The Machinery of Desire, Book 3.5. We return to Aerthe…and I was blown away!
Where am I? How did I get here? I KNOW I’m not on Earth! What is Aerthe? It’s terrifying! I’ve been a blood slave since I arrived. Through sheer happenstance, I escaped my Mekker masters. But have I gone from the frying pan into the fire when I fall into Sassik’s hands? His dominance pushes every button I have, but I will NEVER be owned again… NEVER!
Blue’s everything I DON’T need! How did she get here? Human blood slaves NEVER escape the Mekkers! My journey’s the only thing that matters. She’s only in the way. And her defiance might just be my undoing!. There’s only one answer. But I can’t just—can I? And what about Aerthe herself? I have no idea where the answers lie. But something has to give. We’re going to kill each other unless… Or is there another way?
Every time I get to visit Cari Silverwood’s Aerthe, I’m breathless with anticipation at what I’m going to find. There’s true beauty and wonder in this strange alternate reality. The converse is also true. Violence, hatred, evil, and death abound. There’s so much uncertainty and mystery. Aerthe’s cruel, magical, terrifying, mystifying, and stunning. Cari Silverwood is a magician. Her words bewitch and captivate. Every character in this book is riveting. The story’s a delicious mixture of complexity, a unique combination of darkness and light, enchanting in every way. And this story is as hot and sexy as hell! How? You’ll have to read the book to find out! I LOVE this series! This is a short read, but I loved it! Thank you, Ms. Silverwood. This book is the perfect combination of hot sexiness, alluring dark, and the totally unexpected.
A final note. This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language, sexual scenes, and some dark themes. If you don’t enjoy this genre, this may not be the book for you. Check the book blurbs and reviews available on Goodreads, BookBub, and Amazon. Please use them before buying this book. I don’t just recommend Fated Possession. It’s an absolute must read.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
This story takes place in the same world as Cari’s Machinery of Desire stories. It can be read without being familiar with the stories, but it’s nicer to have the extra background of it.
Blue is a human dragged to another world for her blood. Sassik is a man who wants to find out what his destiny is. Neither one of them is what the other expects, but somehow they end up together and all is good.
I love all these books, so getting another little look into this world and another viewpoint on what’s going on is excellent. I really liked Blue and Sassik’s story.
A short story that takes place in the Machinery of Desire World. It give a glimpse into the world and land of Aethe while we follow Blue and Sassik on their journey. What I loved about this story is that it is not just a physical journey, but also one of the heart and soul. And what you truly desire
This is a great novel about Sassik and Blue. It follows along with the Machinery of Desire world. While this is a novella it seems like a full story. There was humor, there was steam, there was a little mystery as you tried to discover who certain characters were. The ending was vague in it left it open for you to decide if it was happily ever after or not. Knowing this authors work, I can say that not everything is as it seems. If you haven’t read the first two books (both standalones) then I would highly recommend that you do that as the world is phenomenal.
One is a slave and wants to be free and will do almost anything, while the other thinks of reselling her and profit.
When Blue doesn’t conform to Sassik’s control, well…. Lets say he is more than willing to discipline, take control and get creative with it! There is action, adventure, danger, lust, chemistry, humans, aliens and a whole new world called Aerthe! So well written and entertaining!
