“Don’t worry. I’m great with dogs.”

“We’ll see. Oh, here she comes.” Using the dog door, Nellie came running out to sniff Tyton.

“Hey, sweetie.” He reached down his hand and spoke to her in a soft voice. “I'll bet you’re confused. Devina told you she was bringing back a girl from the Northlands, didn’t she? And I’m probably the ugliest girl you’ve ever seen.”

I smiled at his humor.

“You didn’t think she’d bring home a large Nman instead, did you?”

The moment he said it, I stopped and stared at him. “That’s not even funny. Think about how this would look to others! You’re an Nman and the first time I met you was a nightmare. And here I am bringing you to my house. People would think I’m crazy.”

Tyton was squatting and stopped petting Nellie when he looked up at me. “Screw what others would think. What matters is that you know I wouldn’t hurt you. You trust me, right?”

My chest rose in a deep intake of air. “Yeah, call me naïve, but I feel safe with you.”

“Good!” He rose up to his full height and stood in front of me.

Leaning my head back I pondered out loud, “Besides, if you wanted to kidnap me you would have done it the first time I came to the Northlands. I know from experience that you’re crazy strong.” Opening the door wider, I walked in and heard him close it behind us.

Turning on lights, I walked through the house. “Told you it was messy. I’m packing and organizing everything.”

“Wow, you weren’t exaggerating. This makes my place seem tidy.”

In the open kitchen, I turned to him. “Would you like something to eat or drink?”

“Just water.” He followed me and when I poured water into glasses, he was close behind me. “Are you still cold?”

“Yeah. That ocean water was frigid.”

“A day of extremes, huh? You’ve gone from overheating to freezing.” The edge of his lips lifted.

“You could say that. All I want now is a warm shower and a bed.”

A slow, mischievous smile spread on his lips. “That sounds amazing.”

Oh, not again…Just like back in the meadow, butterflies took over my stomach and the sheer look of lust on his face made me want to do everything we’d done earlier today.

His hand slid up my arm. “I could warm you up.”

He already was, as heat was spreading in my body and my hands were shaking, so I set my water down and saw him do the same.

“Look, Tyton, we talked about this…”

The way his breathing picked up made it obvious that his heart-rate was racing just like mine, and when his eyes lowered to my lips, an electric impulse ran up and down my spine. The pull between us was stronger than my will power and when he kissed me, I kissed him back like it was a matter of survival.

My hands squeezed around his waist, pressing myself against him while his hands were in my hair holding me in a tight grip as he kissed me with an intense hunger that matched my own.

All the rational details of why we shouldn’t do this were washed away, and my sole focus was on feeling and tasting this massive man who made me feel so deliciously wanted.

“Fuck, Devina. There’s no way I’m leaving here without claiming you. You’re mine!” His words were pure nonsense but at the same time the most arousing ones I’d ever heard.

I was smiling as our tongues did another round of seductive dancing around each other.

“Say you want this too.” His hands were sliding up under my shirt and it made every nerve ending on my naked skin feel like an erogenous zone.

“My bed is upstairs,” I managed to get out between moaning and kissing.

“I don’t have time for beds.” With a growl of arousal, Tyton picked me up and carried me to the dinner table. His eyes were hooded when he set me down and pushed me back with a strong hand on my shoulder. “I want you naked.”
