Tempting Rever
Page 4

A scary sounding growl tore from the man. “What does this term mean? What are you trying to communicate to me?”
The human woman put her hands on her hips, glaring up at the really tall man.
“What don’t you understand? You’re a great lay and all but I’m not blind and your guys are fine, Rever. I’m talking super hot and I can flirt if I want. It’s not like I’m going to go jump their bones. I get that we’re like married or something so that wouldn’t be cool.”
The man growled again, the hands at his sides clenched into fists. “We are bound and you won’t draw other male attention that way again, Tina. I almost had to fight four of them. You purposely turned them on and you enjoyed doing it. You tried to provoke a fight by bending over to make sure they saw your bared unis.”
“Just say pussy or cunt. Stop calling it that foreign word, damn it. Would it kill you to say either of those two words? Yeah, I flashed them my goods and it was fun. Did you see that one guy fall over?” The woman grinned. “I thought he was going to come in his pants he was so revved up.”
The big Zorn male snarled. “You admit then that you did it on purpose.” Tina shrugged her narrow shoulders, looking suddenly bored. Turning, she walked to the couch and threw herself down, just spreading her legs, revealing that she wasn’t wearing panties. Brenda was shocked at the woman’s behavior and with the view she displayed, flashing the man a beaver shot on purpose.
“You sure like looking at my cunt enough.” Tina glared at him. “You sure like fucking me too. Why don’t you shut up and do that? That should chill your ass out.” A roar tore from Rever. Brenda was so startled at the ear-splitting noise that she jumped back a step, completely expecting the man’s temper to snap. If he hit the rude woman it wouldn’t have surprised her but he didn’t move. He just stood there breathing hard, his hands fisted at his sides.
“I don’t want to touch you right now,” he finally growled.
The outrageous woman looked furious as his words, her face twisting into an ugly expression. “For a guy who’s a walking dick you sure don’t want to fuck much.”
“Go to our room. I am getting angry and I need to calm down. You test me, Tina.”
“Oh, go fuck yourself.” Tina stood up. “Don’t be surprised though if I do fuck around on you. You’re an asshole when you’re not screwing me and absolutely useless except to piss me off.”
“Don’t ever, Tina. I mean it,” the Zorn snarled. “If you let another male touch you I will kill him.”
Snorting, the woman flipped him off over her shoulder as she strode down another hallway on the other side of the room, disappearing out of sight. Ali quickly advanced into the living room toward the enraged male. Brenda was too stunned over the argument she’d just witnessed to even think about moving. Ali rounded the angry large Zorn to stand before him and bowed her head.
“Argis Rever,” she said softly. “Is there anything I can do?” The man growled. “No. I don’t understand her. She is nothing like my brother’s bound human who is devoted to him and is sweet. This one…” He took a deep breath, pushing out air harshly. “I may have made a mistake and I don’t know what to do about her, Ali. She tested my control on purpose by presenting herself to other males on the street. I think she wanted them to mount her, not caring if it caused me to have to fight to protect her. I think she wanted me to have to kill for her just for the entertainment of seeing a fight. I told her it would be to the death but she had no regard for their lives or my own.”
Ali lowered her head a little more before glancing up. “The other human is here.
You are so angry that you did not notice her scent.” Ali’s jerked her head in Brenda’s direction.
Brenda saw the man’s entire body stiffen as he slowly turned to face her. The ability to breathe right left her as she stared into a pair of gorgeous eyes that were the most beautiful things she’d ever seen—a bright, stunning blue framed by long, thick black eyelashes.
Argis Rever was a damn good-looking alien with finely chiseled features. His cheeks were strong and masculine, his nose was flat, wide and perfect on his face. Black hair fell over his broad shoulders and down his impressive chest, drawing her attention to the rest of his body. He was slightly bigger than Valho had been, his shoulders more impressive, with thicker biceps that were revealed in his tank top-style shirt, and he was a few inches taller too, probably six foot five.
He blinked a few times, staring at her silently as his full lips tightened into a firm line until that mouth parted as he took a deep breath. Tips of white sharp teeth were revealed a second before his lips pressed back together and his nostrils flared, inhaling sharply. When his lips parted again his tongue darted out, swiping a full, sexy lower lip. Brenda tore her focus away from his tongue.
The sexual attraction was instant and strong between them. Argis Rever was pure hot-blooded male. If Brenda thought Valho was attractive, she felt downright guilty at the knowledge that he was nothing compared to the man before her. A soft growl came from Rever a long minute later before he shook his head a little, swallowing hard enough that his throat moved with the action.
“Welcome to my home.” He had a deep, terrific voice when he wasn’t growling.
“It’s nice to meet you,” she got out softly. “Thank you for taking me in.” He took a step forward before he stopped, the lines of his body going tense again. “I knew Valho and I was grieved to hear of his death.” He held out his large hand.
“Thank you. He seemed really nice and I liked him a lot.” Brenda moved closer to shake his hand.
She realized she was staring at the large, sexy man but she couldn’t stop herself from doing it. She felt her bare foot snag on something and suddenly she was pitching forward when she tripped. She would have landed face first on the floor but the big Zorn had super fast reflexes, launching himself at her to grab Brenda and yank her against his hard, long body to catch her.
Brenda stared up at him in wonder realizing he was that big yet that agile. Her hands were on his hot-skinned, muscular arms and her hold on him revealed he was really buff when her hands weren’t able to encircle his biceps. She inhaled pure masculine male scent and he smelled really damn good to her. His body was large, fit and pressed tightly to her smaller, softer one as their gazes remained locked together.
