different fruits combined with what she could only assume was a different kind of liquor and shot
straight to her head. She couldn t stop drinking it. It was addictive and so delicious. Once she d had a
glassful, she put the empty cup down and picked up what looked like a strawberry, but of a deep blue
color.
 What are you doing in here? asked a deep, male voice that scared her half to death.
She dropped the berry and shot to her feet, her heart pounding so hard she swore it was going
to pop out of her chest.  Are you out of your fucking mind? She didn t bother looking at the man who
scared her. Instead, she bent down to pick up the fruit from the expensive-looking carpet before it
stained.  I can t believe I almost messed up this carpet. It looks like it s worth more than my entire
life savings.
 Did you just curse at me? asked the same voice, now with a note of shock.
She rolled her eyes and got up.  Yes, I cursed at you, but to be fair, you deserved it after
scaring the shit out of me. Hasn t anyone ever told you to make noise so you don t give a person a
heart attack? Finally turning to glare at the man.  You shouldn t& 
She gulped, forgetting what she was going to say momentarily when her gaze collided with a
giant. Holy shit. It was Bigfoot! And Bigfoot was sexy as hell. Weren t giants supposed to be ugly?
She could tell the man was so tall she d need a ladder to get up close and personal with his face.
With big broad shoulders and a mane of long hair the color of sand, he would not be someone
anyone could forget. Then there were his eyes, flashing a bright, golden hue she d never seen in all
her thirty-five years. Unlike her dark chocolate skin, his was pale and glistened with sweat. Like he d
been running around in his almost-see-through shirt.
Her gaze dropped to his crotch and stayed there. She should look away. Look away. He was
staring at her, and she was staring at his dick. What the fuck was wrong with her?
 I shouldn t what? he asked. The soft rumble of his voice gave her goose bumps.
She fought her hormones for dominance, trying to remember why she d been annoyed. The hint
of a grin on his face pissed her off even more. He knew she d been staring at him.
 I almost destroyed priceless heirlooms. You shouldn t scare people. I could have choked on
my food, she snapped, glowering at the sexy bastard.
He raised a dark brow and glanced at the almost-empty plate.  Your food?
 Are you hard of hearing? Because if I have to repeat everything I say, it s going to take all
night telling you to make some noise so you don t kill a person by scaring them half to death.
He nodded, shoving his hands in his pockets, and took a careful step forward.  I ll keep that
in mind.
She pushed the uneaten food away from the book she d been glancing through.  Is it your turn
to use the library?
He blinked, his gaze filled with amusement.  I don t usually ask for a turn.
 That s right. It s probably available for people to come in and out at all times, no?
The way he stared at her made her hot and uncomfortable like she was a glass of that wine
she d been drinking, all tasty and delicious. Men didn t usually look at her like that, and it was kind
of scary and exciting at the same time.
 I have access all the time. Day or night, he said slowly.
She took a step back, adding some space between her and the big, sexy man.  Well, uh, this is
a really nice library. Gerri told me to check it out. I think she s probably off doing some serious
matchmaking already. I sort of feel bad for the king, though.
He stopped mid-stride and frowned.  Why? He s able to take care of himself. There should
be no need to feel bad for him.
She snorted a giggle.  Have you seen Gerri? She s going to make it her business to get that
guy a woman, whether he likes it or not.
His lips pressed into a tight, thin line.  I know. She s very hardheaded.
 Ah, don t be angry. I m sure whatever she does, he s got coming. She mentioned he was a
pain in the ass.
 Oh, the king is definitely a pain in the ass, he agreed.
She nodded, feeling more at ease talking about a king to someone she didn t know.  I see you
agree with Gerri. She said he s difficult. Do you think he s difficult?
He shrugged.  Maybe. I guess it depends what it is you want from him. He likes things his
way. Without any excuses. He feels he could find his own mate without any help.
 Did it work? She blinked. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
