changed into a hideous beast. No sooner did she gasp in surprise than he was back to<br />
Miko, the handsome man. He staggered as he pulled out of her and gave her a sated<br />
smile.<br />
Had she just imagined that change?<br />
He must’ve realized something was wrong because his expression sobered. He<br />
