    Through a prism of sensual hedonism.

    The drive to take—to mate—burned through her until the feel of her clothes on her body was irritating enough to make her want to tear them off. The bandages itched, and even the silk of her underwear felt heavy and unwanted against her skin.
     
    She stepped into the circle of Alexios‟s arms and he automatically closed them around her, his eyes widening. “Grace, what—”
     
    “Haven‟t we talked enough? I‟m tired of talking,” she said, curving her fingers and running her fingernails down the front of his chest through his shirt. He inhaled sharply and his eyes flashed hot like the eyes of the man who wanted a woman. She needed to be that woman.
     
    She wanted him, too. Now. She lifted her face to him and slowly, seductively, licked her lips. He stared at her mouth, his breath suddenly rasping.
     
    “Grace, I don‟t know about this. What are you doing—”
     
    “I‟d be doing you , if you‟d shut up and kiss me,” she said, not understanding why he wouldn‟t just take what she was offering. He was a man and he‟d claimed her as his woman the night before. All she needed now was for him to get naked.
     
    The thrumming sound built up in her veins and in her nerve endings, swirling through her body and spilling over her skin until she felt it would drive her mad. She pressed her hips closer to Alexios until she felt his erection right where she needed to, except for the layers of fabric between them. She rolled her hips against him, and he groaned, a deep, guttural sound.
     
    She smiled a private little smile and bit his neck exactly at the curve where it met his shoulder, and his body bucked against her and then he lifted her up and off the floor.
    She immediately wrapped her legs around his waist and held on tight while he turned Atlantis Unmasked - Warriors of Poseidon 04

    and practically ran through the courtyard to her quarters. When nobody could see them, he stopped and leaned against the wall, still holding her and breathing hard.
     
    She tried to kiss him but he moved his head to the side. “Poseidon‟s balls, Grace, what has gotten into you? You wouldn‟t even hold my hand twenty minutes ago, and now you‟re ready to fuck me in front of an audience. Not that I mind,” he added, his eyes hot.
    “But I think something must be wrong. This is out of character for you.”
     
    Why was he talking? So many words. “I don‟t need all these words, Alexios. Blah, blah, character, blah. Either you want me or you don‟t. Make up your mind. Either fuck me, or put me down so I can find somebody who will,” she said, just before she licked her way up the side of his neck.
     
    His hands clenched so tightly on her ass that she was sure she was going to have bruises. “Ooh, yeah. Tighter. I think I like it rough. I don‟t really know what that means, but I might like it,” she said, suddenly possessed by a wild urge to giggle. She hadn‟t giggled since she was twelve years old. She started bouncing up and down on him, rhythmically bumping against his erection right where she needed to feel pressure. “Oh, yeah, that feels good. Let‟s try it naked.”
     
    He looked up at the ceiling and spewed out a stream of Atlantean that sounded like a cross between a prayer and a curse. Then he looked down at her. “If you had any idea what a hero I am being right at this exact moment,” he gritted out. “Obviously, something in the alpha‟s call is affecting you. Is there any reason why a descendant of Diana would be affected by an alpha panther?”
     
    She looked at him for several seconds, considering, and then she started giggling again. “Ooh, kitty cat! Maybe Ethan will want to fuck!”
     
    Her brain felt like it had been marinated in the finest champagne, and the bubbles were frothing their way through her body from head to toes and all the delicious parts in Atlantis Unmasked - Warriors of Poseidon 04

    between. She‟d never been much for drinking, after what had happened to Robbie, but she‟d been drunk once or twice, and it hadn‟t felt anywhere near this good.
     
    “What was in that coffee?” She giggled again. “That was one heck of a creamer.”
     
    Alexios was swearing again, though, and not interested in her coffee questions. It was too bad that he was such a fuddy-duddy, because she
