sputtered , stumbling to the side so he could pass. It was all she could do not to watch him walk the rest of the way to his bed , and it was even harder not to fall to his feet and worship the perfection of his bodacious body. Because that’s what you did when you were face–to–face with a g od, wasn’t it?
Closing the door behind her, Cheyenne stood in front of the sink in a haze as her imagination ran wild. She had never, ever been this attracted to the opposite sex b e fore.
She took that back. She had never, ever been this a t tracted to the opposite sex before that wasn’t a part of one of her sexy romance novels. Though he carried himself w ith the over-inflated ego of a g od and seemed to enjoy taunting those around him, namely her, was of little cons e quence. He was a man , plain and simple , because g ods just did not walk the planet with the sole purpose of being as annoying as possible let alone did they even exist in the first place.
He did have a body of a g od though, she would de f initely concede to that. A woman could do her laundry on abs like that.
Realizing that the cold splash of water wasn’t nearly enough to drown out her colorful musings, Cheyenne turned on the shower and hung her robe on the back of the door in hopes of lulling her mind into a comfortable, ready-for- bed state.
Erias lay in his bed staring at the blank ceiling li s tening to the spray of the shower through the paper-thin wall behind his head. He could picture the female, her soft, pale skin slick with moisture as the water beaded and slid down her voluptuously curvace ous body. He was ge t ting a hard- on just thinking about it.
Struggling to maintain his sanity, he flipped onto his stomach only to realize quickly how bad an idea that was. Sure he had inflicted lasting damage on Little E; Erias leapt from the bed, and before he could think twice, he found himself standing under the bright fluorescent lights of the bathroom, staring at the skewed imagine of the woman’s delectable frame.
Little E pulsed against his palm as if to say ever y thing was cool, then promptly throbbed his demand to be sated.
Cheyenne felt a breath of cool air across her back that came as quickly as it went. Shrugging it off , she co n tinued to catch the heated water in her open mouth and spill back out again. She was right; this was the perfect way to relax. Turning around again, she tipped her head back and let the length of her hair flow in a smooth column down her back.
She smiled briefly , considering how tomorrow she was going to gather her team and trudge back up that mountain. No one was going to keep her from reaching her goal, especially some mountain lurking freak with a po s sessive streak. No way.
Rubbing the water from her eyes, she looked up and found herself staring into a heated pair of blue ones that were currently sizing up what part of her anatomy they wanted to consume first.
Her heart lurching into her throat, Cheyenne let out a blood-curdling scream before she was spun around and a large hand was clamped over her mouth , muffling her cries.
Chapter 7
Squeezing her eyes shut against the onslaught of warm water spraying relentlessly in her face, Cheyenne tried to breathe steadily and not overreact. She had to get her head about her and remember her training, so she could get out of this.
“It’s okay,” Erias said low in her ear. He pulled her closer to his body, her back pressed against his chest. “I won’t hurt you. I’m sorry if I scared you.”
And truly, he was. Erias couldn’t explain what had brought him in there in the first place. One minute he was listening to the spray of the shower, the next he was in the shower staring at the most shapely figure he had laid eyes on in centuries.
He really hadn’t meant to frighten her, but then the unexpected appearance of a six-foot- eight, two–hundred and eighty-pound man standing naked in your shower with you had a way of doing just
