She smiled at the sight of Acheron striding through them.
Her Acheron was gorgeous.
His long blond hair flowed around his shoulders and the black leather pants hugged a body that had been created for seduction. A body made to please others.
The doors closed behind him.
Her body warm, she pushed herself up in sweet expectation. She recognized the feral look in his eyes.
The raw, unadulterated hunger.
Desire flowed thick and heavy through her veins as she felt the moisture suddenly pooling between her legs.
This was the Acheron she loved best.
The predator. The one who took what he wanted and didn't negotiate.
His clothes dissolved from his body as he neared her.
So did her own.
She shivered at the magnitude of his powers. Powers that made a mockery of hers.
He'd gone too long without feeding. They both knew it. Whenever he reached a certain point, his compassion died and he became amoral and unfeeling.
He'd reached that point.
She moaned as he grabbed her and pulled her close to his hard, muscular body. His erection burned against her hip.
"What do you want, Acheron?" she asked, but her breathlessness betrayed her affected nonchalance.
His hot gaze swept her naked body, making her burn even more. "You know what I want," he said hoarsely in Atlantean. "After all I'm the top of the Food Chain and you... you're the Food."
His eyes flashed to red as he parted her thighs.
Artemis groaned and came as soon as he masterfully entered her. Her head swimming, she held him close, running her hands over his smooth, muscled back as he thrust himself deep inside her over and over again in a pounding rhythm that made her dizzy.
Yes, this was what she wanted. This was the Acheron she had fallen in love with. The man she would defy even the very gods to keep.
The man for whom she had broken every rule so that she could bind him to her forever.
He made love to her furiously, his hunger building and firing her own.
Artemis leaned her head to the side waiting for what she knew was coming.
Acheron's eyes swirled like red fire an instant before he lowered himself and sank his teeth into her neck so that he could feed from her.
Artemis cried out as they came in unison. As his powers coursed through her, blinding her to everything except the powerful feel of him inside her.
She could pretend to rule him all she wanted to, but at the end of the day she knew the truth.
He ruled her.
And she hated him for that.
BORA BORA
Zarek lay on the beach letting the sun and hot wind sear his skin. Oh, the feel of it!
