strip of dark meat, and
lifted it to his mouth. Lynn watched his generous lips part, those sharp fangs
of his flashing in the blue light for a second before the meat disappeared into
his mouth when he closed his lips around his fingers, sucking on them. His eyes
closed and an expression of sheer pleasure gripped his features as a soft groan
came from him.
    There was just something extremely sexy about the guy as he
chewed his food, his eyes closed as he enjoyed every second of the taste until
he swallowed. His amazingly blue eyes slowly opened and their gazes locked. He
stared back at her until Lynn realized what she was doing. She jerked her
attention to the food bag she held on her palm, turning a little away from
Coto.
    She reached inside, her fingertip testing the texture of the
meat that was warm but not hot. It did smell appetizing and it was similar to
steak. She pulled out a strip and stared at it before slowly lifting it to her
mouth. She sniffed it again, deciding it even smelled like her favorite food,
and then hesitantly opened her mouth. She barely touched it to her tongue
first, taking a tiny taste, and then a small bite. Flavor exploded in her
mouth, a rich, wonderful taste much like filet mignon. She groaned and took a
bigger bite. She finished the strip and reached for another.
    “You enjoy it?”
    Coto’s voice was husky and as she turned her head to look at
him, she nearly gasped as he reached for her face. That tone in his voice did
something to her. It was sexy as hell, kind of gruff and deep but soft at the
same time. His thumb brushed just under her lip, the slightly rough pad of it
tracing from the bottom of her chin to her lower lip gave her good chills. His
gaze followed his thumb until it paused at her lips before he pulled it away.
    “Juice dripped.”
    “Thank you,” she got out around the lump that formed in her
throat.
    Lynn knew they were staring at each other again. She could
hear the noises going on around them as his alien friends set up camp but she
only had eyes for him. He was closer since he’d leaned toward her a little and
her heart rate accelerated. There was just something appealing about him, from
his beautiful eyes to his strong, masculine features. And that silvery, long
hair was tempting to touch, just to see if it felt as silky as it appeared.
    He lifted his thumb and licked the juice from it. He still
watched her raptly. Memories of touching that raspy tongue of his were instant
and she wondered what it would feel like against her own. He inched forward,
bending a little so their faces drew closer.
    Was he going to kiss her? Her tongue darted out to wet her
lips, drawing his attention as his focus lowered to her mouth. The attraction
between them was sudden, hot, and Lynn took a shaky breath. Part of her really
wanted to know what it would be like if he did touch his mouth to hers, how he
would taste and if he kissed the way she did. A soft growl came from his throat
and the sound made Lynn pull back, realizing just how close she actually was to
finding out if Coto would lip lock with her.
    “What is it with you?”
    He froze. “I don’t understand the question.”
    She inched back again, putting a little more space between them.
“You smell good and I stop thinking rationally every time you stare at me or
touch me.” She grew suspicious. “Is it some freaky hormone thing? You know, do
you give off a certain scent to make a woman have crazy thoughts about jumping
you?”
    His eyebrows rose and he appeared confused. “I don’t
understand.”
    “You’re different.” She tried to find words that he’d
comprehend. “You and I are not the same. I don’t know you, but I’m attracted to
you when you get really close to me. Do you put off crazy pheromones that draw
a woman to you? I’m an animal control officer and I study them in my free time
so I know some can draw the opposite sex with their scent.” She paused. “You’ve
got animal traits like your teeth and
