Chapter Seven

Sevan did his best to focus on anything but the need to bed the beauty above him. His cock had already begun to slink towards her cunt, knowing that it would bring him salvation like none other could. He would have acted on it, taking her and fucking her into submission, assuring himself that she would never leave his line of sight. Too long he’d spent thinking he was going mad, desiring a woman who didn’t exist. Finding out she did changed all the rules of the game. He’d fallen in love with her and there was no way he’d let her go. The only question he needed answered was whether or not she’d dreamed of him as well.

Not wanting to assume anything, Sevan took a laid-back approach to breaking the ice. The only problem was that it came out harsher than he expected or wanted. Instead of being funny, it came off as him being a dick. “That’s quite a welcome you have there. Do you greet all your visitors this way?”

“Hardly,” Lorelei said, rolling off him, but not before he felt her erect nipple brush past his hand.

He wanted to comment, but as she sat up, her hand ran over his now rock-hard erection. Drawing in a ragged breath, he tried to steady himself to avoid coming in his pants. That not only would be messy, it would mortify him. No. The amount of semen he had built up was going to be released into Lorelei, not his pants, that much he was sure of.

Sevan smiled and cocked an eyebrow, knowing he was being an ass but unable to stop himself. “I’d be more than happy to accept a greeting like that every time we cross paths.”

Stop being such an ass to her. You love this woman, idiot.

She cast an angry look down at him, and he cleared his throat. “Considering that you’re leaving our planet by suns set, I doubt we will cross paths again.”

Don’t be too sure of that.

She dusted off her firm backside. Rising to his feet, Sevan purposely lost his balance just so he could use her to steady himself. The second he took hold of her upper arms, his entire body lurched back into a state of mind-numbing need.

Lorelei gasped, and he could only hope the feeling was mutual.

“Thank you,” Sevan said softly as he caressed the backs of her toned arms, hoping that she would catch their private joke line. She didn’t react to it.

Instead, Lorelei’s blue gaze raked over him, and he wanted to see it above him once more. He wanted to feel her in the flesh while they reenacted the dreams that had haunted him.

The call of her lush lips was too much. Bending down, Sevan went to capture them—and felt the heavy weight of so many stares that he halted in mid-motion.

“Dare I ask what the two of you were bickering about this time?” Nina asked, appearing next to her sister and motioning to the hulk of a man. “And why in the world were you on the floor?”

Lorelei turned a bit, still staying close to him but focusing on her sister. “It was nothing. Christian and I seem to do that for sport now.”

Christian crossed his large arms over his chest, doing his best to look intimidating. “That is the only sport I seem to get from my wife anymore, Nina.”

Wife?

Nina laughed. “Watch your tongue, Christian. If you keep calling her your wife before the ceremony actually takes place, you’re likely to jinx it.”

Lorelei was to marry Christian? No. That couldn’t be. Sevan stared at her, desperate for her to announce it wasn’t true, that it was some sort of joke. No way could she ever take another man into her, not after what they shared. Not after she’d allowed him to lay claim to her.

His chest tightened as the realization that the dreams were quite possibly only one-sided hit him. What force would bring her image forth in his sleep, allowing him to experience a love like no other, only to give her to another the moment they met?

“Christian.” Lorelei shook her head slightly. “Please refrain from discussing marriage in front of others. There is a time and place. This is not it.”

“Please refrain from using your human terms for what occurs. You share their blood but you share ours as well. Never forget that, Lorelei. And try not to forget the sins of your ancestors. I am not in the habit of raising other—”

Lorelei pulled away from him and directed her attention to Christian. Sevan would have been jealous had he not sensed the rage within her. Nina apparently sensed it as well, because she moved next to her sister quickly and offered her a small smile.

“Jacquelyn listens,” she whispered to Lorelei.

Lifting her hands up, Lorelei tipped her head back and forth. Sevan watched in awe as a slight wind began to twirl around her. Jordan gasped but Sevan just stared, already knowing how special she truly was. Her hair lifted slightly and the oppressive feeling of rage dissipated instantly. She went to Christian and cupped his face.

The second she pressed her lips to his, Sevan saw red.

He moved fast to snatch Lorelei away from the man but found Jordan seizing hold of him. “Captain.”

The warning fell on deaf ears. The only thing that mattered was Lorelei, and the fact that she was in the arms of another man.

A small spark of light passed from her lips to Christian’s, causing Sevan to stop his struggles against Jordan’s grasp.
