“Turn around so that I can go and put some more clothes on.” She made a noise of frustration. “Why aren’t you at least looking away?”

“I’ve already seen you, so what is the point? Besides…” he paused. “I’m going to be seeing a lot more of you, so you can relax.” He smiled at her. “You don’t need to cover up.”

Her eyes bugged out of her skull and she made a spluttery effort to talk. Then she sucked in a deep breath and looked at the ceiling for half a beat before turning her eyes back on him. “If you are telling me that you have seen me without my clothes on, I’m going to have to gouge your eyes out of your head.” She tapped her foot. “While we’re on the subject, why did you…” She looked away. Her eyes clouded with… hurt.

What the hell?

Candy bit down on her lower lip for a second and then turned her gaze back to him. “Why did you pull my dress up and… what happened after I passed out?” She held up a hand. “I know nothing actually happened. At least, Sky assured me that we didn’t… you know, but...” She didn’t say anything more. She looked stricken.

Torrent hated the way that made him feel. “We didn’t,” he said. “You were injured and afraid. You passed out. There is no way in hell I would rut a female in that state.”

Her whole stance relaxed. She nodded once. “I needed to hear it from you.”

“I didn’t take advantage.” He shook his head.

She huffed out a breath and seemed to relax a smidgen.

“As to why I pulled your dress up, it was to—”

“Turn around. I need to put more clothes on and then we can talk.”

Torrent shook his head. “It is unnecessary.”

“Humor me.”

“Fine.” He growled as he turned to face the other way. “I’m going to see you naked by the end of today anyway so I’m not sure what the big deal is.”

Chapter 5

His ass was just as yummy as his… not going there.

His back was just as beautifully sculpted as his front. Hard meaty glutes encased in those thin pants. They looked to be made from cotton. Loose fitting. Black. The color contrasted with his bronzed skin and light hair.

Damn.

The guy was hot, as in smoking. He also had a colossal ego. Sky wasn’t wrong on that one.

“I’m going to see you naked by the end of today anyway so I’m not sure what the big deal is.” And there you go, that same arrogance. Evenly dealt. He completely believed what he was saying.
