Tempting Rever (4 page)

“I’m fine. I’m also sorry,” she got out. “I should have looked or something before I just stepped out.”

“You had the right to assume no one would be roaming the house this early.” His arms loosened even more but he didn’t release her completely. “Are you sure I did not harm you? I heard you make a sharp noise and you are so little that I fear breaking you.”

At five-foot-four, a hundred and fifty pounds, no one had called Brenda little in a long while. Rounded, sure. Curvy, definitely and even chunky were the words she’d heard to describe her body. Then again in Rever’s arms she did feel almost tiny since the man was tall, wide, and just big all over. She still couldn’t look away from him and she didn’t want to, mesmerized by his gorgeous eyes. She could happily stare into those depths for hours at a time.

“I’m fine. You just knocked the air from me. Thanks for keeping me from sprawling on the floor.”

He lowered his face a few inches to slowly inhale, breathing her in, and his blue eyes closed as a soft sound came from his throat that sounded real close to a whimper.

The arms around her tensed, tightening for a second, before his eyes snapped open. He released her instantly, stepping two feet back so they were no longer touching.

“Are you all right? Did I hurt you?” Concern filled Brenda that maybe she’d injured him.

“I am fine.”

“You have a pained expression.”

Forcing her gaze from his, she let her attention wander down his body, realizing for the first time that he was damn near naked. She could only stare at his bared skin, her attention locked on a pair of shorts that looked to be a Zorn version of briefs, only tighter and form fitting on his hips, the tops of his thighs, and the front of them were 18

presently tented, shocking her. The man was aroused and those shorts didn’t hold him down. The fabric of them was thin and the outline of a thick cock was so clear that it left little to the imagination. She’d never seen Valho naked but it looked as though Zorn men were big all over judging by Rever.

An image flashed through Brenda’s mind of her reaching out to touch him. The urge was there and she really wanted to trace her fingers over every inch of him. He smelled good and he was so attractive that she felt extremely turned-on just looking at him. She was having a sexually explicit thought, which wasn’t typical of her since she didn’t lust after men, but Rever was the exception.

Anger slowly burned in Brenda when she realized she couldn’t follow through on touching the sexy Zorn in front of her even though he deserved better than that bitch Tina. He was worthy of someone nice, someone who had eyes and could see how handsome and attractive he was without hitting on other guys. She bet he was a great lover, remembering that Tina had said so even though the bitch had put him down.

“I apologize,” his voice was deeper. “It is a reaction. Don’t be afraid. You smell good and I am stimulated,” he softly growled. “You are safe. I won’t mount you.”

She didn’t look away from his tented shorts. “I wasn’t afraid.”

He inhaled, taking a deep, long breath that finally drew her attention from his erection. She realized he had shut his eyes again. He had an agonizing look on his handsome features. Blue eyes opened slowly, surprise flashed in his gaze as he stared down at her.

“You are aroused.”

She felt embarrassment flood her.
He could smell that? Damn. That was unnerving.

“Sorry.” She knew she should explain. “You’re very attractive.”

His incredible body tensed. “Do you think I am comparable to a dog?”

“No!”

He turned his head, looking down the darkened hallway toward the other side of the house. “What am I doing wrong? I anger her constantly and she insults me. She refuses to share a bed with me and she won’t sleep in my arms.” He turned his head back, those blue eyes of his fixing on Brenda’s. “You are human. Please tell me how to make her happy.”

“I don’t know. She’s not a nice person, Argis Rever.”

“She was this difficult when I met her on Earth. She was kind to me at first so I keep hoping our cultural differences will pass but it is getting worse instead of better.”

“I don’t think anything you do will make her happy. Some women are just impossible to get along with.”

A soft growl came from him. “Two of my brothers bound to humans and they are happy. What am I doing wrong? You are human so please instruct me on what would please her. I thought the sex would—that is the only thing that she does not complain about.”

“I wish I had an answer to give you.”

“Would I frighten you if I tried something?”

She shook her head. “What do you want to try?”

He took a step toward her but Brenda didn’t back away, thinking whatever he wanted to try, she had to admit a healthy bit of curiosity for. A door opened, the sound making him freeze for a second, only his head turned to watch as Ali stepped naked into the hallway.

“I heard voices, Argis Rever.” The Zorn woman ran her gaze over his magnificent body. “Has she kicked you out of your room again like she did last night?”

Rever growled softly. “She asked me to leave, yes. I was going to get something to eat.”

Brenda blushed. Ali was bare-ass naked and seemed oblivious to her nude state.

The big Zorn male also seemed to just accept a naked woman was talking to him without ogling her body. Ali had a nice, fit body that was a little muscular, and surprisingly firm for a woman of her years.

“That is not what you need.” Ali softly growled. “You are highly aroused. I heard your bound tell you to use your house helper. Let me relieve your need, Argis.” Ali moved forward, dropping to her knees of the floor, a soft growl coming from her throat as she crawled toward him. “Let me tongue you.”

Brenda was shocked and could guess what tongue was. Her gaze flew from the woman crawling and went instantly to Argis Rever. His eyes were shut and his body was tense. His hard-on was still pointing straight out—there was no missing something that size protruding from his body.

“I won’t mount another,” he rasped.

“You won’t mount me,” Ali whispered. “You are Argis and she mistreats you. You need release or you will get ill. You are bound and honored so you have no need to tend to your own needs anymore. Please let me do my duty, Argis. She does not care as long as she is not the one to touch you right now. Let me bring you calm.”

The man moved and hit the wall with his back, shaking his head. “No.” His eyes snapped open. “She might not care but I gave up other women.”

Ali didn’t back away, instead she kept advancing slowly, inching forward in a seductive way. Brenda was too stunned to do anything but watch as the woman reached for the man against the wall, lifting up her head to rub her face on the inside of his thigh. A soft growl tore from the large male while his cock jerked in response.

Ali softly growled back at him, running her fingers up his legs from his ankles to over his kneecaps, up his thighs, and to the waist of his undershorts. Fingers hooked in the material as Ali used her face to nuzzle his cock through his shorts. Another soft growl tore from the large man. He threw his head back, eyes shut tightly as his fingers clawed at the wall.

Brenda watched with wide eyes as Ali jerked his undershorts down. Zorn males had an unusually thick, rounded crown that reminded her of a mushroom because it was that much larger than the shaft, but his shaft widened an inch lower from the crown. She swallowed hard, stunned that a sexual act was about to be performed right in front of her. Argis Rever tried to turn away but Ali firmly gripped his cock with her hand, licking at the man as if he were milk she was lapping up, her tongue swiped up and then swiped up again just on the tip of his cock.

A groan tore from Argis Rever’s throat, his hands flattening on the wall, as his breathing increased to a hard pant. Taking a step back, Brenda couldn’t force herself to look away. She knew she should turn to flee into her room but she couldn’t look away from the man’s penis in Ali’s hands while the woman continued to lick at him.

Brenda’s body reacted to the sight of Argis Rever in the thralls of passion. The man arched his massive chest forward, his stomach muscles rippling, and a sheen of sweat beaded his beautiful body, full lips parting as another soft growl came from him. His hands clawed at the wall but then one of them moved. He cupped Ali’s cheek tenderly, caressing her as she continued to lick at the crown of his cock.

Ali never put her mouth over him or took him between her lips but just used her tongue to swipe upward over and over. Brenda felt wetness pooling between her thighs when she managed another step backward. The man was the sexiest thing she’d ever seen and worse, she wished she were the one touching him. A flash of jealousy hit her and it stunned her. She barely knew the man so the emotion wasn’t rational.

Taking another step back, Brenda bumped into the edge of her bedroom door frame. A jar of pain shot up her back in a flash as the edge caught her shoulder blade.

Argis Rever’s eyes flew open at the slight sound she must have made and those amazing blue eyes locked with Brenda’s.

She watched his eyes narrow, his lips part, as he groaned deeply when he came hard a second later. Brenda tore her gaze from his to watch as Ali moved back to pump him with her hand, milking out every shot of release that left his body, hitting the Zorn woman’s body. Ali used her other hand to rub it on her bared breasts while she softly purred at Rever. His body jerked with every stream of semen that erupted from him.

Brenda lifted her gaze to find Rever watching her still with hooded eyes. They glowed in the dim hallway right into her soul. She found the willpower then to spin around and stumble into her room, shutting the door softly behind her. Leaning back against the door, she realized she was trembling and really turned-on. Her nipples ached and she was soaking wet between her thighs. Shutting her eyes, she softly mouthed a curse. That had been damn sexy.

“Thank you,” Rever said in a husky voice.

“My pleasure, Argis.” Ali chuckled. “It is always a joy to please you.”

Brenda could hear the exchange. She took slow, deep breaths, eavesdropping on the couple on the other side of her bedroom door.

“Is there anything else I can do? Do you want to sleep in my bed, Argis?”

“No. I think I will shower and eat.”

“I could fix you something.”

“You have done enough. Thank you, Ali,” Rever gently dismissed the woman.

“Please return to your room and get some sleep. It has been a trying day.”

“Of course.”

A good minute of silence passed until Brenda heard the sound of Ali’s door firmly but softly shut. She relaxed, pushing away from the door and on shaky legs walked to her bed. The sound of someone entering her room made her gasp in surprise, spinning around.

Argis Rever stepped into her bedroom and paused at the doorway, dim light from the hallway silhouetting his body. His undershorts had been tugged up and his hard-on was gone now that Ali had taken care of it. Brenda raised her look from the front of the fabric barely covering him and blushed, discovering he was watching her and had noticed where on his body that she’d looked first.

“I apologize. Did we offend you? You looked upset.”

Offended? That was the last description of what she was feeling that came to mind.

She was confused, turned-on and suffering pangs of jealousy. She took a deep breath and forced herself to keep facing him even though she wanted to turn away. She didn’t want to be this close to the man. He made her feel things that she couldn’t understand, explain, and he was off limits to her no matter how much she wanted him.

“No. I am just not used to seeing other people…” She swallowed. “Sex is usually a private act where I come from. That’s all. I didn’t expect that.”

The man tilted his head, his glowing blue eyes were fixed on her, studying her. He inhaled. “It aroused you.”

Damn
. She hated his keen sense of smell. Heat flushed her cheeks. It was embarrassing that he knew how much he turned her on. She kept her mouth shut since she didn’t know what to say that wouldn’t make the situation worse. Rever blinked a few times, watching her silently.

“Tomorrow I will take you shopping. Your future bound lives on a cruiser and you will need a hardy wardrobe. The least I can do after upsetting you is to provide one for you.”

“That’s not necessary.”

“I insist. After breakfast be prepared to leave with me and I will take you to the village where we will take care of your needs.”

The only need she had right now sure wasn’t clothes. She was aroused and wanted a man that was in effect married. Brenda managed to not stare at his perfect body even though she wanted to look her fill since so much of him was revealed in those small shorts. She kept her gaze locked with his.

“Thank you. What time do you want to leave?”

“Be ready just after dawn.”

“What do I wear? I mean, they only gave me these oversized shirts.”

“That is fine. It is what our women wear.”

“What about pants? Can I borrow a pair from Ali or from Tina? I don’t feel right running around naked under my clothes.”

A grin twisted his features, making him appear even more handsome. “It is the Zorn way. I will protect you so you have nothing to fear. You are safe with me, human.”

“Please, call me Brenda.”

He gave a nod. “And I insist that you drop the Argis and call me Rever. It is a Zorn title you don’t need to bother with.”

“Thank you.”

The grin on his features widened. “After the hallway just now it seems appropriate to be on a first name basis.”

A blush stained her cheeks. “Ali calls you Argis.”

“She is a house helper and you are not. There is a difference. I will see you at breakfast. Good night, Brenda.”
