into temptation no matter how bad she wanted his cock. And she really wanted his cock.
    Jac heard twigs snap. Her gaze shot up. Ares had taken a step closer. His eyes narrowed and a red flush colored his cheeks.
    “I am not diseased,” he ground out between clenched teeth. “My people are immune to the maladies of this planet.” His gaze leveled on Jac, boring into her, willing her to believe.
    Jac took a step back. “It’s too bad I can’t take your word for it, but in this day and age you can’t be too careful.” She would not concede on this point. “Who are your people by the way?”
    Ares’s face tensed as if considering whether to answer her question. “I agree with you about the perils of this time in which we live. The Earth is a very dangerous place, which is why we must soon leave.”
    Jac looked around her at the jungle surrounding them. “Leave?”
    Ares waved a hand in the air as if to erase his last words. “‘Tis unimportant.”
    “You obviously haven’t gotten out lately.” Jac’s hands rested on her hips. “Disease is nothing to joke about.”
    “You think I jest?” He stepped closer. “Do you have any idea how old I am? What I am?”
    Jac could feel heat rolling in waves from his body. She fought herself to keep from falling into it, drowning. He made resisting much harder than it had to be—than it had ever been before.
    “I’d say you’re about thirty-five.” She looked at him, studying the lines around his eyes, the slight weathering of his skin. She was about to touch the second question he’d asked. What in the hell did he mean by ‘what I am’?
    It was Ares’s turn to laugh. The muscles rippled in his six pack abs. Jac put her hands behind her back to keep from reaching out and stroking every ridge, every ripple.
    Ares stopped laughing. He reached out and grabbed her upper arms, his thumbs rubbing her skin, sending shivers through her body.
    “Try three thousand five hundred years old.”
    The trees behind Ares started to spin. Jac heard her blood rush, pounding in her ears, and then everything went black.

    Chapter Five
    Jac awoke with Ares leaning over her, fanning her face with a palm leaf. She blinked a couple of times until he came into clear focus. “What happened?” she croaked, her tongue feeling thick in her mouth. The last thing she could recall was talking about condoms and the ills of the world, then everything went black.
    “You fainted.” He smiled.
    She tried to sit up, but Ares held her down. “I never faint.”
    Ares looked as if he tried hard not to laugh. Jac didn’t think any of this was funny. For all she knew he’d put a whammy on her when she wasn’t looking. Yeah, that had to be it. He’d been able to do a hell of a lot without actually touching her, so it stood to reason that was what occurred this time.
    “I did not touch you.” His eyes sparkled, dancing in amusement.
    Jac clutched her head. “I wouldn’t really know, now would I?”
    “I’ve given you my word. ‘Tis enough.”
    “You’ll forgive me,” she shoved his hand away and sat up, “if I don’t quite believe you.”
    Ares shrugged. “’Tis no matter to me, believe what you must.” He casually plucked at her nipple as he spoke, positioning his body between her legs at the same time. “You know I speak the truth. You have seen what I can do.”
    Jac had to fight to keep her eyes from closing, the sensations he created inside her body should be illegal. She leaned forward pressing her breast into his palm. He increased his movements, until Jac thought she’d go mad.
    “I know no such…Please.” Jac didn’t even know what she asked for. The soft ground cushioned her head and body. Locusts buzzed, their scratchy sound filling the air with a strange kind of music.
    Ares lowered himself until his head was between Jac’s thighs. He threw her long legs over his broad shoulders, his gaze locking onto hers. Jac started to close her eyes.
    “Look at me,” he
