“What the hell?” The human shrieked, she sounded terrified.

What now? They may as well be fire and ice, they were that different. Maybe she was right about them not being compatible. He hoped not.

Chapter 12

One second she’d been admiring his beefy ass. No, drooling over it. Tall, muscled with narrow hips and then that ass. It was made for holding. For squeezing. For ogling.

Head out of the damn gutter, Julie.

He tossed another piece of wood onto the fire and rubbed his hands together and then leaned forward. Julie had to stop herself from moaning. What a vision of pure masculinity. What a…

Flames erupted from somewhere around his face. No, not his face, his mouth. They had to be coming from his mouth. They were long and bright. The logs in the hearth instantly sprang to life.

“What the hell?” She clapped a hand over her mouth. “Oh my god,” she added. Then she choked out a laugh, sounding shocked.

Coal turned, looking angry.

“That was so hot,” she blurted without thinking. His back end was fine, from the front he was damn near off the charts. He was still a savage though. A caveman, barbarian shifter. He had a sweet side but he wasn’t nice. There was not a nice bone in his body. Bone… she had to suppress a laugh. Even that part of his anatomy was well put together.

His frown deepened. “Of course it was hot. I breathed fire. You are a strange female.” He shook his head and walked towards her. She couldn’t help but to notice how his gaze moved back to her chest.

Julie could almost see his jaw slacken and his pupils dilate. Men had always gone gaga over her boobs. Her ass may be on the big side and her looks pretty average but her breasts were great. She could totally win wet t-shirt contests with these babies.

His jaw worked. His eyes seemed to darken. Then he looked up at her face. Julie expected the heat that had flared to dim but the opposite was true. His gaze grew even more intense. His cock gave a twitch.

An honest to goodness twitch. Like it had a life of it’s own.

Oh shit! A feeling of need zinged through her. It emanated from between her legs. It was pretty intense. She wanted him. She couldn’t have him though. Not without serious pain meds first. She also didn’t want him to get any ideas, like ideas of her staying here because it wasn’t happening.

“Are you sure you want me to cover up?” He threw her a cocky grin.

Julie couldn’t help but return it. “Yes, very sure.” No, please don’t! Give a horny lady a break.
