your story. Start at the beginning.
38 Heavenly Hijinks
Zeus had his eye on my mother, Selena, a comely mortal. They had my three older sisters and then me.
Then she fell madly in love with Endymion and gave birth to his daughters all fifty of them while he lay
in a deep slumber.
Although she hadn t meant for him to impart his genealogy, she was fascinated nonetheless. Not that he
could possibly be telling the truth.
& then Hercules, my half-brother, murdered me and split my beautiful pelt with my own claws. He
held his clenched fist to his face and gazed woefully at his nails.
How horrible. I d always thought of Hercules as a hero. Her fingers itched to sign on to the internet
and look up this story. She d only learned a bit of mythology in school. She preferred tangible things that
she could see, touch and control, like her dancing.Shecould work out.She could practice.She could
study.She could diet.
She barely acknowledged that she was a Scorpio beyond finding it mildly amusing that she was
supposed to be the bitchy hard-ass of the zodiac, the sultry sex goddess.
Well, she was sexy when she danced. And Scorpios were creative.
Under Leo s intense gaze she felt ultra-sexy, like a goddess, and she wasn t even dancing. She shook
herself. His insanity was obviously catching.

She made up her mind and cleared her throat. If we hire you, will you promise not to attack any more
defenseless TVs?
Frowning, Leo leaned forward and the sway of his silky hair brushed his lean cheek. Please explain,
what is this TV? I ve only seen them from afar.
Clestie stared at him long and hard, seeking a trace of mirth or something to tell her he was joking. But
she saw no snippet of guile in his clear tawny eyes. TV is short for television.
God help her, she couldn t believe she was doing this. Didn t everyone know about TV? It s an
electronic device that transmits signals pictures from one central place like a studio, to a lot of other
places.
At a loss and feeling especially inarticulate, she splayed her hands wide. Okay, she needed the internet
to look up an explanation. But she was scared he d hack up her laptop as well. Then she d have to kill
him.
Okay, that wouldn t work. She would keep her laptop hidden. The baby had cost almost two grand and
had all the newest bells and whistles.
There s no chance someone willpop out .
Clestie passed a hand over her hair and stole a glance at their gorgeous new employee.His sensual
voice .His dreamy eyes .His sexy smile .
Elizabeth lowered her lashes and snuck another peek at Mr. Universe. Petuniaknew what she was
doing.
Clestie s nerves jumped. Let s hopehe does, too. She looked at their new associate and about
swallowed her tongue. He was licking his hand and then brushing it over his

hair. Maybe this isn t such a grand idea. The sensual sweep of his long pink tongue sent serious heat
coursing through her pussy and she shivered. Bizarre. Erotic&
Turn up the air conditioning, honey. Elizabeth fanned herself. Whew! I hope there s lots of cold water
for the shower.
A sensual, primitive beat seeped through the walls from the tae kwon do studio next door. The exotic
sound was a perfect rhythm for a little mattress mambo, and Leo s well-honed body looked made for
lots of mattress mambo.
Clestie girded herself and ventured back to the lion s den. She deliberately smacked her sandals on the
floor to give warning of her approach. Then she sat down across from him as if everything was normal
and picked up the application. When can you start?
Right away. The sooner I can get home, the better.
Home? She leaned forward and frowned. Why do you want a job here if you re anxious to leave?

He took her hand in his and covered it with his other one. Dear lady, I needyour help and I m willing to
reciprocate. I will teach you the art of reading the zodiac.
She wanted to throw up her hands in exasperation. She pointed at the next area of concern on his
application. Where do you live? The address section lay starkly blank.
He shifted in his seat and averted his gaze. Finally he said, I don t have anywhere to stay. I ve been
sleeping by the shore since my arrival a few weeks ago, except for the last two nights when I was offered
a warm bed.
