    About this ebook

    It’s not easy learning how to be a swan, but Ori Jones has worked hard to embrace a role that still doesn’t come entirely naturally to him. Now, almost a year after his first full shift, he finally feels as if he is making a difference at the Anderson nest.
    Ori’s happier than he’s ever been, until a few words from his master, Raynard, suddenly bring all of Ori’s old fears rushing back to the surface.
    The nest’s elders want to have a party for Ori’s birthday, but Ori can’t see any reason to celebrate in it being a year since he reached his avian maturity. After all, what’s the use in learning to be a good swan when Raynard never wanted a swan in the first place?

    Kim is a bisexual submissive from Wales (UK). First published in 2008, she has since released over 100 BDSM erotic romance titles ranging from short stories to full length novels. Having worked with a host of fantastic e-publishers, she moved into self publishing in 2013.

      I first read Ori’s story quite a few years ago, this short story was a reminder of how much I liked this series. Kim Daré doesn’t disappoint.

    About the Author

    Celebrate

    A shiver ran down Ori’s spine as he peered between the thick bars of a cage housed in the nest’s deepest basement. Tilting his head, he traced the vertical lines of metal from the grubby concrete floor, all the way up to where they disappeared into the gloom above them. Mr. Hamilton had said the cages extended up the full height of the building. Ori had no reason to doubt Mr. Hamilton’s word, but the space behind the bars still appeared claustrophobically small.

    Ori took a deep breath and tried to consider the cage as dispassionately as possible. Dust lingered on every surface. Cobwebs didn’t just fill the corners of the cage, they stretched out toward the centre of the space too. Ori did his best, but it wasn’t easy to focus on those details when every part of his psyche wanted to recoil in disgust. He was just as horrified by the view into the cage as he would have been if he were a prisoner staring out in the opposite direction.

    As you can see, sire, Mr. Hamilton said, from somewhere further down the gang-way that ran between two rows of similar cages. There is plenty of space for a man who is imprisoned here to shift and stretch his wings, should he wish to do so.

    Ori automatically nodded, but he couldn’t help but think the cages were best left to whatever spiders and dust bunnies that had accumulated during the last few decades of disuse. A cage was no place for an avian. Would being put in one really be kinder than a whipping?

    Ori? Raynard’s voice jerked Ori out of his thoughts.

    Instinct made him move closer to Raynard as he turned to face him; sure that his master would be as successful at keeping him safe from the cage as he had been at keeping him safe from his every other fear. What do you think, sir?

    When Raynard’s full focus came to bear on Ori it felt more like Raynard was peering into his soul rather than merely studying his expression. It’s not a hawk’s opinion the nest needs, fledgling.

    Ori swallowed. He looked over one shoulder, then the other, as he considered the cages once more. When he’d said he wanted to find an alternative to lower ranking avians getting whipped whenever they displeased a man who was higher up in the pecking order, this wasn’t really what he’d had in mind.

    Glancing past Raynard, Ori caught sight of Hamilton and the other elders. Damn. Everyone was waiting for him to make a decision. Ori turned his attention back to his master. Their eyes locked.

    Sire?
