walked to reveal the honeyed-colored flesh at her waist. She was finally walking toward the barn. He glanced down at the small pup at his feet. The pup stared up at him before it emitted a violent sneeze as the dust dancing in the late afternoon light brushed across its nose.
    Frost put his finger to his lips as he stepped to the side. Joseph said if he kissed Lacey she would not be able to use her power against him. He needed to take her by surprise. Something told him that if he didn’t, he might end up in a worse predicament than before.
    He grinned when he heard her talking to herself. This time, he understood the words she was speaking. He waited until she stepped through the door before he wrapped his hand around her wrist and turned her. He couldn’t resist answering her quietly muttered question.
    “Yes, I was,” he whispered just before he captured the gasp on her lips with his own.
    A soft moan escaped him as he deepened the kiss. He threaded his fingers through hers, securing them as she started to resist. He pressed his body closer so that she could not twist as he continued to kiss her.
    He touched the tip of his tongue to hers as she parted for him. A shudder shook her slender frame as she began kissing him back. A wave of satisfaction swept through him and he released her hands so he could wrap them around her waist and lift her up. His hips jerked forward as her legs rose to wrap around his waist as he stepped closer and lifted her.
    The position settled her heated core over his hard cock. He rolled his hips, pulling a moan from both of them. He broke the kiss long enough to run his lips down along her jaw as she threaded her fingers through his long hair.
    Frost stilled and pulled back with a frown. Lacey’s warm brown eyes were closed, her face flushed, and her lips parted as she pulled in small gasps of air. Something was wrong. Something was very seriously wrong. He knew it the moment she opened her eyes and stared at him in shock.
    “I don’t have long hair,” Frost bit out.
    “You don’t have long hair,” Lacey said at the same time. She frowned and tilted her head to the side as she lifted a long strand. “You have… flowers?”
    Frost’s left arm tightened on Lacey as he reached up with his right hand to touch his hair. A curse exploded from his lips and he quickly released Lacey. Stepping back, he frantically felt his head. He gripped one of the long stems hanging from it and pulled. He winced in pain as it came free.
    Staring in disbelief at the green vine and bright pink flower, he crushed his fingers around it as fury built inside him. Those two boys lied! Kissing her did not keep her from using her powers on him. Kissing her… his eyes swept up to meet her amused ones. Kissing her turned him on like he had never been turned on before.
    “What have you done to me this time?” He demanded in exasperation as he held out the crushed blossom in his hand. “Change my hair back.”
    Lacey touched her swollen lips. A part of her wanted to be furious with the alien male for kissing her, but it was impossible to be angry with a man who had dozens of beautiful pink flowers hanging from his head and more about to bloom.
    “I… I…” Lacey bit her lip to keep from laughing. “I swear I didn’t do this. It must… it must… Oh God! You’re blooming!”
    Delicate laughter filled the dark interior of the barn drawing the attention of the puppies. Lacey leaned back against the door, holding her stomach as more pink blooms unfolded. The one at his left ear was too much for her after the way the day had been going.
    She slid down the door to sit on the red-clay floor. The puppies, seeing her at their level, piled on her lap and outstretched legs. She squealed as she tried to keep them from licking her mouth as she laughed.
    The anger Frost had felt melted in the warmth of her delight. His lips twisted in reluctant humor as he felt another blossom open. Shaking his head, delicate pink petals
