Cursing Athena (Order Of Seven) Read Free Page B

causing his skin to tingle and his already granite hard cock to stiffen and jerk. There! There she was. Sweet, Blessed Aphrodite… He couldn’t see her face under the odd, alien mask. But given the magnificence of her body, he knew she was beautiful. Thin, but curvy in all the right places, the female sported a perfect pair of what he was sure were all natural breasts, and a round, tight ass that sent his libido into overdrive. He was an ass man, and hers… oh yeah —it was sheer perfection. A low rumble vibrated through his chest, his beast equally attracted to the unknown waif.
    Rocked by his body’s immediate, primal reaction to her, he gnashed his teeth and swiped a hand over his face. Slow your roll, Ty. This girl is nothing to you. Remember your mission! Remember your mission! Unable to tear his eyes off of her, he sat sweating and impatient as she slowly turned and scanned the area, her gaze finally settling on him.
    Great Zeus above ! The heat of her hidden stare sent every last drop of blood in his body straight to his aching Johnson. Goddamn alien getup! He wanted to see her eyes, wanted to feel her gaze piercing through him without the weight of her mask coming between them.
    “Fuck!” he muttered under his breath, as she slowly began walking toward him. He didn’t have time for this. Not with a demon running loose throughout Arcane. Shit. Now was not the time to give in to his lust. Even if the pull toward the angelic little alien was more powerful than anything he’d ever experienced.
    With his jaw clenched, he centered himself, doing his best to rein in his lust and dampen his inner beast. He might have been successful had he not caught a whiff of her delectable scent. A heady mix of citrus and flowers filled Ty’s senses. His lion roared from deep within, his attraction to her magnifying ten-fold, threatening to blow the top off his cock. Who was this little minx, and why was he so drawn to her?
    She sidled up to his table like sex on wheels. “Here you go: one bottle of tequila and a shot glass. Can I get you anything else?”
    Her voice was sheer perfection. Muffled by the annoying mask, he could still make out its smooth tone and gentle lilt. Great Zeus! He was dying to hear her clearly and needed to see her face. There was no question in his mind, no hesitation. That damn mask of hers had to go. He needed to see her, and he needed to see her now.
    Ty leaned forward and raised a brow. Lifting a hand, he hooked his finger, signaling her to move closer. When she stepped forward, he whispered in her ear. “As a matter of fact, you can do something else for me.” He felt the corners of his mouth pull up into a wide grin. “Take off that wretched mask so I can see your face.”
    The reaction he got was not the one he expected.
    She stiffened and pulled away, her small gasp muffled by the oblong mask. Clearly uneasy about something, a heavy dose of anxiety flowed off of her in waves.
    “Oh,” she said hesitantly. “I’m…I’m sorry.” She shook her head. “I’m not allowed to take off the mask while I’m on duty.”
    Ty frowned, and narrowed his eyes. The hell with that. “Unacceptable. I’m a paying customer, and I want to see you with the mask off.” He leaned forward again, reveling in her delectable scent as he spoke. “Besides, I’d bet good money you’re dying to tear the damn thing off. Am I right?” Sweet Aphrodite! What he wouldn’t give to lean forward and lick that sweet smelling skin. He was sure she’d taste every bit as good as she smelled.
    A set of large, otherworldly eyes stared back at him for several moments, and he watched with complete satisfaction as she reluctantly set her tray on the table and slowly pulled the offending piece of plastic from her head.
    Great Zeus above! The sight of her perfectly built frame and delicious scent had started a fire burning deep within him the moment he’d laid eyes on her. But the sight of her beautiful face brought forth a
