It sent a chill up his spine.
Hatred and anger he could take, a friendly Acheron made him nervous.
"Aren't you here to chew me out?" Zarek asked.
"Now, why would I do that?" He clapped him on the shoulder.
Zarek hissed as he moved away from him. "Who the hell are you?"
"What's wrong, Zarek?"
There was no way this was Acheron.
Zarek used his telekinesis to pull the sunglasses off the man's face. Instead of swirling mercury eyes, this man had blue ones.
The stranger narrowed his human eyes on him. "That was unwise."
The next thing Zarek knew, he was hit with a god-bolt.
Talon was strapped to his exercise bar, doing inverted sit-ups when Sunshine finally came awake.
Hissing, she sat up in bed, slowly. Languidly. "It's so hot in here," she said, her voice low and throaty.
Talon relaxed his body as he watched her, letting himself hang upside down while his fingertips brushed the floor. "How are you feeling?"
She pulled her shirt off, over her head, and he instantly tensed at the sight of the black lace bra cupping her breasts.
"Hungry," she breathed, releasing the front catch on her bra. "And not for food."
He arched a brow at that, and at the way she trailed her hands over her breasts, down to her pants.
Oh, this was cruel.
She pulled her pants off slowly, sensually. "I need you, Talon."
"I think you need a cold shower."
She moved toward him like a stalking lioness.
Mesmerized, Talon didn't move until she reached him and ran her hand down his thighs. She bent her head to nuzzle and lick the back of his knees.
Talon moaned at how good she felt. His body hardened and throbbed as he pulled himself up, intending to unhook his boots from the bar. But he never got the chance. Sunshine waylaid his lips and kissed him passionately.
Sunshine couldn't think straight as she pulled back and stared into his midnight-black eyes. Her body was alive. On fire. All she could focus on was her throbbing need to have him inside her. A burning itch to have his hands on her body.
She'd never felt such potent lust. Such a hunger to taste and feel every tiny morsel of a man's body.
Oh, how she wanted him.
She took his hands and led them to her breasts. "Make love to me, Talon. Please."
Talon hesitated. "I don't know if we should do this while you're under the infl-" He stopped mid-sentence as she pushed his shorts up to his knees.
Possessed with a powerful lust she'd never known, Sunshine gently nibbled his sensitive hipbone. He moaned deep in his throat, spurring her on while she raked her hand through his short curls, letting them wrap around her fingers until she cupped him in her hand.
Talon couldn't move as wave after wave of pleasure racked him.
She ran her hand down his shaft, making him harden even more. "Hmm," she breathed. "What have we here?"
