talking about sleeping.”
She backed up again, “You’re not going to make this easy on me, are you Viking?”
He took another step forward, “Not on your life, Kendrick.”
She backed up once again and slammed into a dresser. She held her arm up as if to ward him off. “Stay!”
And he did.
“Look, you’re an unnaturally large, good-looking guy. I’m sure there are a plethora of women out there who would be perfect for you.”
“Personally, I like women who can successfully use ‘plethora’ in a sentence.”
Dammit , the bastard made her smile. She hated that. Especially when he smiled back. He was truly gorgeous. And as dangerous as they come.
Forcing her smile under control, “I’m going to take a shower. So you need to piss off.” She walked to the bathroom and just as she stepped into the luxurious and huge room, she realized that Conall was still behind her. Okay. Now this was just getting creepy.
She turned around. “Is there something else?”
“No. Not at all.”
“Okay. Well, I’m going to take a shower… by myself.”
“Great.” They stared at each other. She couldn’t understand what the fuck he was grinning at. Then, finally, with a low chuckle he asked, “You do know this is my bathroom?” Miki closed her eyes. “What?”
“Yeah. In fact, this is
my
room.” She gritted her teeth. Great, that wonderful smell on the neatly made bed had been him. And who the fuck made their bed these days anyway? Miki didn’t make her bed unless she was changing the sheets.
“She told me it was the second door on the right.”
“Actually, yours is third. Right next door.”
“Of course it is.” She was going to
kill
Sara.
“But, please, feel free to stay. Take all the showers you want. I can help with the soap.”
Images of that danced through her besotted brain and it felt as if someone had squeezed her lungs because she was having a lot of trouble breathing.
“Well, that’s very neighborly of you, Viking. But I’ll just go to my own room.”
He wasn’t completely blocking her way, but she had to slide against him to get out of the bathroom and she felt that connection all the way down to her toes. She almost moaned.
“Well, see you at dinner,” she squeaked out.
Then she ran.

Conall didn’t care how his Alpha felt about it; he was going to give Sara the biggest kiss he could. Coming back to his room only to find his ultimate sexual fantasy spread eagle, face down on his bed was more than any man could ask for. And when she started smelling his comforter, he thought he might come in his jeans.
The woman did things to him without even trying. It was like he had no self-control around her. When he first saw her, he’d had no intention of touching her. In fact, he’d purposely stayed away when she arrived. Sara told him that if he met Miki at the airport or greeted her at the door, she’d freak. So he wanted to give her a chance to relax before he pounced. But once he smelled her again, he just couldn’t keep his hands off her. If this got any worse, he might start humping her leg.
He closed his bedroom door and took a deep breath. Just the scent of her got him hard. And it didn’t help that she looked so good. It had only been six months, but he was positive she actually looked even hotter. Her curly hair was a little longer, now reaching just above her shoulders, and her skin looked just as soft if not softer then when he last saw her.
Miki simply looked…beautiful. And her body felt amazing. When he held her and when she brushed up against him on her way out the door…he just kept imagining that body naked and in all sorts of positions with his.
And the thought of her in his shower… him soaping those breasts, those legs, that ass.
Damn. Wrong thought
, he growled to himself as he headed to his shower.

Miki had just pulled on a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt, pushing her wet hair out of her face, when Sara knocked on her door and stuck her
