water. “The parasitisyde is affecting you differently; it could be dangerous. I have to wash it off your skin.”
    “I’ve been washing myself for many years,” she snapped, her cheeks burning. She stood almost naked in front of him and crossed her hands across her breasts, feeling the blush travelling down from her face.
    Josh nodded, rinsed his hand under the water and backed away. He wanted to stay; he wanted to find out what delights lay beneath the cover of those skimpy, teasing panties but hadn’t his family been the ones to eradicate her kind from the world. What kind of hypocrite was he? He stepped out of the huge shower stall, his clothes wet and sticking to his body, his hair dripping. He pulled the shirt off over his head, tossing it into the corner to be joined next by the dark wet trousers.
    Eva stared with unbelieving eyes. What the hell was he doing? But she couldn’t fault the view of his lean, strong back, his firm shapely behind. Not many men went commando under such tight-fitting trousers. Not that she was complaining; he was a damn handsome man with a body to cry for.
    “I’ll fetch you a robe,” his eyes danced over her face, his smile showed he knew what she’d been thinking, as he turned to look at her and her eyes dropped. There was desire in her darkening eyes, in the intensity of her gaze and in the way she held herself.
    Eva raised her arms again. She hadn’t realized how low they had dropped. Her nipples were hard and pointing toward the man who incited passion into her mind, her body as he stared at her. His wicked grin shook her right down to her wet toes. How could any man look so good and so bad at the same time?
    Joshua left the bathroom with the grin still plastered to his face. He liked the way she reacted, how red her face blushed, how her body reacted to him, and to his touch. Eva was the first woman in far too long to create such a reaction in him. What fortune had brought her here today, to him?
    “Is she okay?” Noah asked softly, handing his brother a dark blue robe. “The woman, is she okay?”
    “Yeah sure,” Joshua nodded. She was more than okay, she was … Well, he couldn’t think about it now.
    “Prince was already on his way up and asking a lot of questions about her.” Noah followed Joshua to the walk-in closet, his eyes on the cream robe Joshua lifted from the rack. The plastic wrapping was discarded as Joshua returned to the bathroom where the water had been switched off and the woman waited impatiently inside. “You know what he’s like, he won’t give up until he finds out everything he thinks he needs to know. Did you hear me?”
    “Yes, I heard you.” Joshua slammed the door in his brother’s face before he could catch a glimpse of soft, white female flesh. “Put this on,” he snarled into the woman’s face. Unfortunately, she was wrapped in a white towel with only her shoulders and legs showing, but it was a sweet enough image all the same. Wasn’t it a shame he didn’t have only hand towels in here? This pretty, pale woman clad only in a tiny hand towel was a much better image.
    “I need my clothes back. Don’t you have a dryer or something?” she snapped, taking the robe anyway
    “It will have to do.” His voice was stern, but his eyes wandered over every inch of her pale flesh on show. “Hurry up, my cousin is on his way and says he knows all about you. How does he know?”
    She pulled the pale robe about her before removing the towel. She wouldn’t allow him any sneaky looks and she ignored his question. His strong hand on the front of the robe pulled her to him, his face close to hers; so close she could feel the heat of his skin melting the frost of hers.
    “I don’t know what you’re up to, but I know I feel you’re not here to cause either of us harm. Prince isn’t someone to mess with. Tell me how he knows about you. I can’t protect you unless I know it all.” Something tugged at a memory in the deepest region of his
