black lace–up boots that definit e ly didn’t belong to her size nine feet.
“Wow,” a male voice said from behind her before clearing his throat.
Chey enne whipped around, coming face- to - face with an extremely handsome, utterly delectable male spe c imen. Relaxing on the queen-sized bed that should be em p ty, the man was all legs and potent sexuality as his deeply brilliant blue eyes seared her naked flesh. And with that thought…
Horrified, Cheyenne stumbled back in her haste to retrieve her robe , hitting her heel on his overly large boots , and went careening backward toward the floor. She braced for the impact that never came.
Puzzled as to why her derrière wasn’t bruised and battered; Cheyenne eked her eyes open a nd found herself staring into eyes the color of the bluest skies set into a chi s eled face of perfection and the most kissable full lips she had ever laid eyes on.
He should have just let her fall but when he’d seen her tumbling back , Erias had panicked, and without thin k ing he’d leapt from the bed to catch her. He was regretting that decision now.
With his arm wrapped securely around her bare waist and her naked breasts pressed against him , he could hardly breathe. The way she was staring at him, her smoky eyes hooded and obviously, longing for him , was nearly his undoing.
Before he could catch himself, Erias dipped his head and took possession of her mouth. It was the most i n credible kiss he’d had in ages. Her lips were soft and gentle as they moved against his. Erias pulled her closer so he could feel every inch of her delectable body against his.
Cheyenne wasn’t sure what had happened. One moment she was falling to her death and the next she was wrapped in a wealth of hard muscle. Al though she was tr u ly digging the way they rippled under her fingers as he moved against her, this was a total stranger with his mouth all over her, and she was butt- ass naked in his arms. With a forceful shove, Cheyenne twisted out of his hold and fell the rest of the way to the floor.
“What the hell do you think you are doing!” she screeched. He stared at her with glassy eyes. If she didn’t know any better , she would say he was drunk. “Who are you? Why are you in my room? Get out!” Scrambling to her feet, she snatched her robe and covered herself.
“Slow down, lady. I’m not here to hurt you.” Erias rose unsteadily to his feet as he tried to work the fog out of his head from that searing kiss . He noticed s had covered herself, but the fire snapping in her eyes and the way she clutched the robe to her body warned him that she was a woman on the edge. He needed to find a way to calm her b e fore she went over the edge and had him arrested. Not that any bars could hold him, but it would put a wrench in his plans of which he couldn’t afford right now.
“Don’t try to placate me, pal.” She inched closer to the phone resting on the night stand. “I want to know how you got in here.”
Raking a hand through his hair, Erias offered her the lie he had thrown together on the way there and hoped she wasn’t smart enough to see through it.
“All the rooms we re booked so they doubled us up.” H e shrugged , walking back to his side of the room and flopping down on the bed.
Cheyenne glared at the man’s nonchalant demeanor as he lay there with his arms folded behind his head and his legs stretched across the mattress, his socked feet crossed at the ankles. He was the epitome of calm while she was seething with anger at her room being all but given away.
Stiffening her stance, she eyed him speculatively. “You’re lying,” she spat.
Erias wasn’t fooled. She had a good poker face; he'd give her that, but at the end of the day he could read people like no one’s business.
“Am I?” he smirked. “Call Ranga, he’ll confirm it.” Lucky for him, he knew everyone and their grandmother around these parts. He could rattle off names all day, not that any one of
