I knew it was wrong. If someone found out. It was vastly inappropriate and unladylike. And deep down I knew that I was exactly like when it came to resisting temptation. I simply couldn't.

I slipped into my bedroom on tiptoes, holding my breath. The creatures weren't there but I could hear water running in the adjoining bathroom. I crept in that direction. The door was ajar. I peered through the gap.

In the last few days, I'd learned that amphibian was a creature of fish, so I found him under the shower as expected. But from my vantage point, I couldn't see much. I edge the door and slipped in.

My breath caught at the sight of him. He had his back turned to me and it was a glorious view. The muscle in his shoulder and back flexed as he washed. Naturally, my eyes dipped lower to his perfectly shaped backside. I'd never seen a man-creature like this, but I couldn't imagine that anyone could compare to an amphibian man.

He began to turn. I should have left then. But I stared in wonder at his body with a fill of neon blue light. Was he aroused? He tensed when he spotted me. His eye captured my gaze before they slid over my nightgown and naked legs. And then I found an answer to my question. He hasn't been aroused before. Oh hell.

My cheek heated as I watched him grow harder. It was all I could do not to cross the distance between us and touch him.

He still couldn't move. He was stone, but my inside seemed to burn, to liquefy into red hot lava. I couldn't look away, I didn't want to.

Then I stepped up. The scent of his wafted into my nose. Slowly I advanced on him.

My eyes lingered on the edge of the bathtub, on the delicious v of his hips. Without my volition, my hand moved, reaching for his chest, needing to feel his reptile skin beneath my fingertips.

He caught my wrist before I could touch him, his grip almost painful. My gaze shot up, half embarrassed and half surprised. When I saw on the amphibian face made me shiver.

He leaned forward, coming closer and closer. My eyes fluttered shut, but the kiss I wanted never came. Instead, I heard the Creak of the door. I peered up at the amphibian. He'd only opened the bathroom door wide. That's why he'd moved closer, not to kiss me. Embarrassment washed over me. How could I have thought he was interested in me?

He straightened. His fingers were still curled around my wrist.

"Then let me go." I said softly.

He did instantly and took a step back. I stayed where I was. I wanted to touch him, wanted him to touch me in turn. He then was upon me, one hand cradling the back of my head, the other on my hip. I could almost taste his lips they were so close. His touch made me feel more alive than anything ever had.
