The Star Of Illiyn - Treasure Hunter #1

An eBook By Tabitha Bradley.

He growled softly. "Give it," he said stiffly, "to me. Now!"

Rumbling filled the entire chamber, which began to shake.

Gaston cursed loudly as the ceiling crashed in.

Impulsively grabbing the girl, he threw her back against the wall, shoved her to the floor and shielded her with his own body. The statue exploded, amber dust mixing with the rock and rubble raining down around them.

Gaston coughed, looking up cautiously as daylight flooded the room. Blinking, blinded momentarily by the brightness, he frowned, his grip tightening on the girl beneath him.

"Alex? Are you alive?" a worried masculine voice shouted through an external comm, "are you there?"

"-esmn... ugh... mmph!"

Gaston squinted down at the girl.

She was glaring at him.

"Get... off... me!" she snarled, shoving at him.

Gaston's eyes narrowed and he grabbed her by the wrist.

"Oh, no you don't!" Alex yelled, striking out at him with her free hand, squirming in an attempt to get out from under him.

Gaston kept her pinned, trying to wrest the Star from her grip.

She shifted slightly, panting. Her breasts crushed against his chest, body arching against his as she tried to squirm around enough to get her knee between his legs. He growled. As angry as he was, her wriggling was having an entirely different effect on his body. Her hipbone pushed against his groin and he stiffened as she did. Her eyes locked on his and went very wide. A bright scarlet flush crept over her cheeks and he felt his lips curve in a very slight smile.

He fought the urge to push her down, rip her clothes off and ravish her on the spot.

"You..." she hissed, panting, "you..."

Gaston allowed his smile to develop into a full, wicked smirk.

"You're very enticing, writhing like that," he said with a rather snide voice, "can I help it if I find that erotic?"
