The moment I felt the reflex, preparing for the slight recoil, I shrieked. As the gun went off, his hand slipped free.

As if in slow motion, I allowed the gun to fall to the ground. In a reaction I’d question later, I backed away, more horrified than from anything I’d ever done.

Oh, my God. Oh, my… God.

As the terror and realization sank in, I reacted as if on instinct.

I turned away.

And then I ran.

Were they chasing me?

Would they catch me?

I experienced a rumble beneath my feet and maybe I was crazy, but it was low growls like several… lions would make.

As I sprinted toward the trees, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. Had I killed him? Was he lying dead in a pool of blood all because I’d threatened him and he’d called my bluff? My emotions were high, my mind spinning, and right now, all I could do was find a way to escape.

My feet pounded against the ground and it felt as if I was getting nowhere even though the trees were flying by. Thick foliage was everywhere, a strange hum vibrating in my ears.

Slithering sounds.

Snapping sounds.

A low growl.

When I heard a slight hiss, I stopped running altogether, trying not to panic. It was becoming useless. I was utterly terrified.

Yet they weren’t following me. There was nothing but eerie shadows and creepy sensations. I rubbed my arms as I tried to catch my breath.

Run, girl. Don’t stop. Just keep running.

I nodded as if answering the voice inside my head, backing away by several steps then turning, bolting.

Straight into the arms of one huge man.

Thor.

For a few seconds his eyes changed, becoming more luminous as if he was surrendering to… his lion.

His scent was even more powerful than before. I suddenly felt a blanket of arousal so intense, the air around us crackled. Not just from electricity, but from something much more primal. As if I was feeling everything he was. When he gripped my arm, my legs began to shake.

The heat was oppressive.

The desire was uncontrollable, my skin prickling, my pussy throbbing.

The need I’d felt before was entirely different, much stronger until I clenched my core while trying to catch my breath.

Lights flashed, my ears ringing.

Zeus and Titus were right there, touching me.

Awakening my senses.

I could feel a tether, not just a connection, a strong pull that dragged me from the reality of my world into something else altogether.

This wasn’t normal.
