His eyes darkened. “Oh yes. I will.”
She shivered. You would never guess he was a virgin. He was potent.
“I have never hungered for a woman before. But it seems with you everything is different.” He stared down at her with those dark, dark eyes. “There’s only ever been you, princess. Just you.”
Her breath caught. She felt dizzy. That this man, this intense, damaged, brave man wanted her was something she could barely comprehend.
There was a knock on the door. Wolfe turned and glared at it. “What?”
“Obian is here,” Caleb called out. “Vivi finished with her bath?”
“Yeah, we’re coming.”
He picked her up. The scent of bergamot and mint hit her. Wolfe. Then he carried her out into the bedroom. There was a beat of silence.
“Jesus, Wolfe, she’s naked,” Caleb said. Then she felt a large body press up against her. The scent of ocean hit her. Caleb.
Wolfe stiffened. “Shit. I forgot.”
“What’s going on? What did I miss? Obian? What are you doing here? Shit, Vivi’s naked. Turn around, man.”
Aleki came up to them as she heard another man mutter something from behind her.
“What’s going on? Why is she naked?” Aleki asked.
“Just get her something to wear, will you?” Caleb demanded. “Obian, do you have your back turned?”
“I am over a hundred years old and have been a physician for most of those years. I have seen many female naked bodies, young man,” Obian said in a thick accent.
“A hundred?” she asked.
“He’s exaggerating,” Aleki explained. Instead of going to find her something to wear, he whipped off his T-shirt and put it over her.
Caleb stepped back to help her put it on. “Aleki, she just had a bath, she might have wanted something clean.”
Aleki shrugged his wide shoulders. “This was quicker. Do you want her covered or not?”
“Yes,” Caleb muttered. “I do.”
Her eyes were drawn to Aleki’s large chest. God, he was even more muscular than she remembered. A tribal tattoo worked its way up his arm and over his right pec. He’d expanded it. Eight years ago, it had been on his chest only. She used to love running her tongue over it.
He grinned. “Like what you’re seeing, baby girl?”
She gulped and pressed her face to Wolfe’s chest.
“You’re embarrassing her,” Wolfe scolded.
“Hey, I’m not the one carrying her around naked. Why didn’t you get her dressed before leaving the bathroom?”
“I forgot she was naked,” Wolfe admitted.
Aleki wiggled his eyebrows. “Not something I would ever do. When Vivi is naked, all I see is her.”
She groaned.
“Have you all forgotten that I’m here? I could die waiting for you to stop flirting. I am an old man, you know.”
“Sorry, grandpa, she’s decent now,” Aleki said cheerfully.
