himself trim, so she shouldn’t turn flaming hot from looking at Marek’s tight stomach, but it just led her eyes to the really interesting parts.
And, oh God, the man was interesting there.
Even at rest, his penis was huge. Janney’s lips quirked.
She’d been in his lap the night before, and he’d been erect, stiff against her hip. He looked almost as large now, and he wasn’t even hard.
God!
His penis looked funny. Well, not funny exactly. She didn’t think that on him anything could ever be considered funny. It just looked different—the head shrouded, hooded.
He doesn’t look like Ed. No way, no how. Ed would have given anything to have a penis that size.
Janney stifled a wild giggle. Stop that, you bad girl.
Uncircumcised. He’s uncircumcised. Of course, that’s it.
Distracted by her discovery, Janney finally feared that she might be the only person still gawking at him and flicked a glance in Augusta’s direction. Embarrassed to discover the woman watching her, Janney smiled briefly, sheepishly, and looked away. Why don’t you just shout out your interest?
Marek and Gaius finally stepped down into the water. Her legs refused to move. She couldn’t turn away. No longer relaxed and sleepy, she felt cold and exposed, wanting to cover herself with her arms but afraid to make any movement whatsoever except to close her eyes.
Oh, please, God, don’t let him see me.
Lord, did that prayer fail. Opening her eyes again, she found him within three feet of her. Every muscle and nerve in
her body jolted, tightened, and flowed with yearning all in turn.
Still biting down on her lower lip, she breathed shakily in through her nose. Their eyes locked, his widened, then softened.
He smiled lazily, small white lines crinkling at the corners of his eyes.
Oh God, am I in trouble!
Chapter 5
Marek had seen her when he first entered the Great Bath and thoroughly enjoyed her open staring. He was used to being naked around both men and women at the baths. Knowing that he was in fit condition, he was not at all selfconscious about Janney’s inspection. In fact, it excited him. The excitement had begun in earnest last night but just when he was gaining ground, she’d called a halt. As much as he’d wanted her, he wouldn’t have forced her. However, he wasn’t through with her by any means.
Now, she looked positively stricken, and absolutely and unbearably alluring, biting her lip in that sensual way she had.
Last night he hadn’t tasted enough of her lips.
“Janney Forrester.” He found he could say no more than her name. Where was his brain? He devoured her with his gaze as if he could see below the surface of the water, beneath the linen gown. As if he could see her nipples. He imagined they were a pale cherry color against her fair skin. They’d taste like cherries, too. She’d moan and melt against him when he licked and suckled them. His phallus leaped to attention.
Her soft round breast had fit perfectly in his hand. Zeus, if he could caress her now, she’d be slick with water. He would slide his fingers around her hips; tangle them in the hair covering her mound. Was it yellow like the hair on her head? He grabbed a shaky breath, blinked. He would find out. His visual survey slowly rose to her lips, then to her eyes. His heart lurched uneasily at her obvious discomfort.
By the Gods, she was shivering. “You look…cold.”
He wanted to touch her. He could warm her, but he dared not. Certainly not here. He knew she wasn’t used to their lifestyle. She’d come back in time in tightly fitting clothing, but at the same time, her body wasn’t easily accessible. For some reason, in her time women flaunted their bodies, but still built up barriers with layers of clothing.
Janney crossed her arms over her breasts. Cold or aroused?
Either way, she was uncomfortable.
He stretched out his hand. “Do you wish to get out?”
She backed up, the water swirling around her. She
