swallow her not-so-nice retort. Wanting to finish and leave Anterra, she carefully scrubbed his legs. His calves were massive, larger than what she’d seen on the average man. Maybe when a person lived in the woods, he spent most of his time exercising. The man’s lack of fat attested to her theory.
    “What do you and Kellum do for a living?” Given their expensive home, they might be executives. Perhaps this was a weekend house and their other home was near their office.
    “We’re sentries of a sort. We’re kind of like your Homeland Security.”
    My Homeland Security? “Is that what you were doing when you found me?”
    “Yes.”
    Aha. “Then where were your weapons?” They couldn’t have hidden any of them under the loincloth. Their cocks took up too much room.
    “We are hand-to-hand combat experts.”
    He said it with such confidence that she saw no reason to argue with him. She finished washing him and stood. “All done.”
    His eyelids half lowered and his jaw softened. When his hands gently clasped her waist, her mind dissolved into mush. It was as if she really had been transported into another reality. Her headache had miraculously disappeared in the steamy shower and her stomach no longer bothered her. When he lowered his lips, all she could do was sigh. The concept of the soon-to-be kiss being wrong in any way never entered her mind.
    Taryn pulled her close and pressed his soft, full lips to hers. Her hips seemed to move forward on their own, yearning for some contact. Being so close to him must have altered her from the inside. Her body exploded with surprising need as his hard cock dug against her belly. The urge to touch him prompted her to grab hold of his massive arms, and she inhaled his delicious aroma. His erotic scent teased her nostrils, but she was unable to identify the origin other than to say it was exciting and powerful. She opened her mouth, wanting to taste his magnificence. Never before had she acted so wantonly, but she rationalized that this man had saved her. The truth was that she wanted him.
    His tongue darted around hers, almost as if he were an explorer who understood he needed to tread lightly. Her pussy went crazy, creaming and pulsating with each thrust of his tongue.
    This man had too large of a hold on her. She shouldn’t be attracted to him, but she was. He claimed to be a shape-shifter for heaven’s sake.
    He leaned back. “You did believe me when I said I could change into a lion, right?”
    She stared him. “Maybe?”
    “Maybe yes or maybe no?”
    Should she lie? “Maybe no.”
    He exhaled. “Then we have a problem that I need to address.”
    She didn’t know what he meant, but the magical moment between them disappeared. He let go of her and stepped back. Water continued to cascade down both of them.
    “Maybe you should turn off the water if we’re finished.” She would have done it herself, but since she detected no dials, so she didn’t know how.
    He passed his hand over some invisible sensor and the water stopped. Holding open the door, he nodded for her to go first. She stepped onto the soft, lush mat and wiped her feet. A lot of good that did since her wet clothes still dripped. “I’ll help patch you up first, but then I need to leave.”
    “You’re all wet.”
    Being wet would be the least of her worries, though if the concierge were able to get her a cab, she wouldn’t want to mess up the seats. “So are you.” That was a stupid comment, but her brain had jumbled.
    “That’s because I’m naked.”
    He wasn’t making any sense either. “So?”
    “You need to get out of your clothes. Otherwise, they’ll never dry.”
    He did have a point. “Okay. You can dry off and then I’ll change.” Into what she didn’t know, as she had no other clothes. In fact, she didn’t detect any towels she could wrap around herself.
    While his kiss might have excited parts of her body that had been dormant for too long, she didn’t need to get naked in
