Chapter Fourteen

Am I in Eden?

No. Gina wasn’t outside. But she felt warm, and that warmth wrapped around her like the hot spring’s water. Something smelled different too. No flowers and fresh grass. The pleasing smell was masculine and exciting. Gina purred and moved closer to the heat and that wonderful scent to let them envelop her.

Soft nibbles against her sensitive neck forced her fully awake, although she wished to cling to the more-asleep-than-awake feeling. Zach was placing kisses against her skin, sending a wave of desire sweeping over her. As she raised her arms to put them around his neck, she winced at a painful twinge in her chest.

He stopped kissing her to lift himself up on his elbows and stare down at her. “You okay?”

Damn, but she was sore. Her chest felt tight and every muscle in her body ached, but she couldn’t remember why. Had there been a fight?

The last time she’d felt this bad was after the Amazons had kicked the god Chernabog’s fat ass. She’d slept for almost twenty-four hours to heal her wounds and regain her strength. She’d used lightning as a weapon in that fight more than once and had been left a shade beyond exhausted. Sarita later told her she’d checked a couple of times to see if Gina was sleeping and not comatose.

“Gina?” Zach whispered. “You okay?” He kissed her cheek.

She nodded, even if it wasn’t entirely the truth. Her full strength would come back in time. Right now, all she cared about was him, and she had more than enough recovered energy for what she hoped he wanted to do.

He sprawled over her but supported most of his weight with his arms. Normally, having someone on top of her freaked her out. It seemed smothering, putting her too much at another’s mercy. In training, if anyone covered her, she used her powerful legs to push him off. Once, she’d caught Johann in the groin, and the poor guy had passed out from the force of her kick. Megan hardly talked to her for a week after that.

Having Zach’s muscular frame pinning her to the bed didn’t make her feel trapped. Not even a bit. No, his body pressing so intimately against hers made her hot.

“I shouldn’t have woken you up. You need your rest.” He didn’t sound contrite at all as he started nuzzling her neck again.

Shivers raced across her skin and heat pooled between her thighs.

“Want me to stop?”

Gina shook her head at that stupid question.

Zach’s face was suddenly in her vision, his eyes searching hers. “Do you want me to stop?” His voice was husky, as though he, too, had just awakened.

Then she saw the bruises. He looked as beaten up as she felt. “What happened to your face?”

“A fight.”

Vague memories swirled in her thoughts. “Richard?”

Zach silenced her with a slow, deep kiss before staring into her eyes again. “Gina, do you want me to stop? Just say the word.”

“God, no.”

“What about Richard? He was kissing you.”

“He wasn’t kissing me, Zach.
