Deep in Kat’s body Achilles’ words caused heat to spread like she’d just downed a shot of twentysole s and subdued the urge to press her thighs together to seek relief It wouldn’t do any good anyway, that was not the kind of relief she needed Kat’s eyes drifted lower to the bulge that was beco more and more obvious beneath the sheet

Could she do it? Could she make love to him and keep him hypnotized?

Unethical skank! Her inner editor shrieked at her Thankfully Kat was excellent at gagging her inner editor Plus the real question she needed to ask herself wasn’t if she could keep hih that the berserker wouldn’t possess him And she was far from sure she could keep him calm and make crazy, sweaty love to him

Well… maybe they wouldn’t make crazy, sweaty love Seriously there were just so --or even sweaty love Perhaps she could find a level that would work

Again Kat reached out to touch Achilles This time she let her hand caress a path over his chest and down to his hard abdoers dipped under the sheet She didn’t actually touch his cock, but Achilles’ skin treers and he drew in a deep breath, which he let out in a moan

"You’re still in your cove… relaxed… war careful to keep her voice hypnotic, which was da had definitely picked up "What else do you see there besides sea and coral and sand?"

"You," he said His deep voice was, thankfully, still relaxed and he sounded dreamy and exquisitely sexy

"Yes," Kat said before she could change herprofessional (sadly not practicing the oldest profession) "I’ beside me," he said, and then before she could prompt him with another question he added, "There is no fear in you, and you are touching me"

"Achilles, there is no fear where you are--no anger--no pain" Suddenly she had the urge to cry How long had it been since he’d been touched without fear or anger? Following her i him Her head rested on his shoulder, her hand on his chest "You are beco more deeply relaxed," she uiding it What do you desire, Achilles?"

"You"

And that was it That single as her undoing "Then you’ll haveher hand down slowly… slowly… until she grasped his hard shaft Achilles th of him "Remember, this is a dreaain and his hips lifted to s under the sheet and moved closer to him, and with a rush of liquid excitement she realized that he was co hi except the thin silk of her underdress between the the flimsy silk up so that she was bare to the waist, she pressed herself against his hard thigh

"Ah, gods!" Achilles said as her wet heat ground against his skin in tiood?" she whispered, wishing he would take her aching nipples in his iveon his side with a dreah water His hands came down to cup her bare buttocks and he pressed his hard cock insistently against her

"Yes, ina ollen and so wet that she slid easily up and down against the hard, hot length of him Achilles didn’t enter her, and Kat continued to whisper calainst his cock, the thick ridge of his head pulsing against her clit until she exploded in a fast, shattering orgasasped and reached down to stroke his cock, slick with her wetness With a guttural cry, Achilles’ hot seed spurted between thehed as she ainst his shoulder

"You--you are deeply relaxed," she panted Well, hell yes he’s deeply relaxed She stared at his face They’d both come and he’d stayed under the entire ti I’ve ever done Kat was sure she’d be blushing, if her cheeks weren’t already coasm she’d just had Nohat a the seductress and resu the shrink "Achilles, you will sleep for the rest of the night and wake after dawn completely refreshed" To say the least, she added silently to herself "Do you understand?"

"Yes…" he murmured sleepily, and she noticed that his lips twitched up in his little half-smile

Kat slowly unwrapped herself from around him and slid carefully from his bed She looked down at hi was deep and regular His body was lied across the bed, but even like this he still retained a look of fierceness and power With sudden insight she knew that even without the berserker that possessed hireat warrior and a leader

Kat bit her lip and wondered (belatedly) how the fierce warrior would feel about the way she’d estion that he not rehed No, she wasn’t that stank Plus, even though her behavior hat Jacky would call "entirely too fresh," Kat was not into self-delusion and knew that she wanted him to remember--wanted him to know that they pleasured each other without the berserker taking over On the other hand, what if reoddesses, he hadn’t had sex in years Maybe he’d wanted to be fully conscious for it

Oh, sure Then the berserker could have taken over, and that would have definitely been no bueno

"Well, crap," she said softly Then an idea came to her and she raised her voice back to a clinical level "Achilles, when you wake you will reht, but only if you want to Sleep now and have only pleasant drea herself, she sipped frooblet of hile she used water froh the gauzy curtain at Achilles He was sound asleep She would have liked to have crawled back in bed with hiainst that incredibly hard body, but ould happen in the reeted by a surprised Achilles or by a blood-thirsty berserker? Not willing to take the chance, Kat curled up in her thick pallet of downy linens, and was almost immediately asleep

Kat didn’t wake up until the kerfuffle co from outside the entrance to the tent crept into her drea her shoulders into a shrieking fishwife Jolted out of her fantasy Kat sat up in ti into her tent The s blonde stalked over to stand in front of her She put one hand on her very sliina

"My va-jay-jay is covered with blond hair! Can you fucking believe that? I’ve never seen such a thing," Jacky said

Autolance at the curtained bed in the rear of the tent and was relieved, and a little disappointed, to see it was empty She rubbed her eyes and smoothed her hair back out of her face

"Well?" Jacky said, tapping her foot iainst the thick carpet

"Well what, Jacky? You’re a natural blonde What did you expect?"

Jacky plopped down on the edge of her pallet "I don’t know I ht when I peed And anyway, it was dark Then thisI ashin’ up, and there it was It was a shock, I tell you"

Kat stretched luxuriously "I love you, Jacky, but you’re kind of a moron"

Jacky narrowed eyes at her that were unfamiliar in their color, but completely familiar in their expression "I am not a moron I’m just white" She lifted blond brows "Of course, so"

Coain "You know, you just need to relax and go with it We’re not going to be here long and--"

"Sweet baby Jesus, you’ve had sex!"

Kat frowned at her BFF "How can you tell that? And I didn’t really have sex At last not technically"

"First, easy You’re all rulowy And you haven’t been this relaxed in"--Jacky paused, obviously --"in about three and a half years Which is how long it’s been since you’ve had sex Second, what do you mean not technically? And please recall that we decided several years ago that oral sex is definitely sex"

Kat fidgeted "It hasn’t been three and a half years It’s been three years and four months"

Jacky snorted

"And I didn’t have oral sex"

"But…" Jacky prompted

"But I had sex--kind of"

"Explain Katrina Marie"

Kat sucked a deep breath and then said in an enormously fast rush, "I-hypnotized-Achilles-and-while-he-was-under-I-had-a-heavy-make-out-session-with-him-and-we-both-came"

"Christ on a cracker You raped Achilles"

"I did not! He said yes"

"You want to try sayin’ that again This time with the truth stuck in there"

"You’re really crabby now that you’re white," Kat procrastinated

"I’ve always been crabby, as you know very well Stop stalling, Katrina"

Kat sighed "Okay, well, he kind of said yes"

"You know shtuping the TU quarterback on the fifty-yard line is nothing couy"

"Jacqueline, I did not rape Achilles"

"Katrina Was he in control of all of his faculties?"

Kat’s grin was slow and satisfied "It certainly felt like he was"
