Tempt Me Eternally Read Online Free PDF Page B

commands failed? His men shifted uncomfortably, as if, like him, they were trying to decide what to do. They meant well, but he didn’t want one of them to take her down or touch her in any way.
    â€œHold,” he told them.
    The woman’s hand shook—what was her name? He found that he wanted to know as intently as he wanted to know what species she was. Which also happened to be as intently as he wanted to lick her until she came, starting with her breasts and working his way down.
    â€œDidn’t I tell you once before to get that look off your face?” she said breathlessly, then fired both guns simultaneously.
    He easily leapt out of the way, the blue stun-beam sailing past him. As fast as he could move, the gun’s rays were slow motion to him. But one of his men, Eton, did not see the approaching beam and was nailed, instantly freezing in place. The other warriors glanced to Breean, clearly angry that another of their brethren was immobilized and would have to be carried. They wanted to act.
    â€œNo,” he said. “Mine.” To her, he added, “What look?”
    â€œLike you’re going to eat me. I don’t like it.”
    â€œThe look will disappear, I’m sure, after I have eaten you.” The good kind of eating, too. Not thekind his people had enjoyed, there at the end. He shuddered. “Do not worry, though. I promise not to use my teeth.”
    Scowling, she fired again, but once more he easily dodged. “Will you just be still already?” Her gaze circled the clearing and she pushed out a frustrated breath. “Come on,” she muttered, though he didn’t think she realized she’d said anything aloud.
    There’d been no sign of anyone out there, but she obviously expected someone to show up and didn’t like that they hadn’t yet. Better they came here to fight amid nature than to fight amongst the innocents living in the city. He, too, would wait for them. Silver lining: another fight might help dull his arousal.
    â€œWhat is your name, female?” he repeated, remaining on alert.
    â€œWhy did you come here?” she demanded, pretending yet again that he had not spoken. “What do you want from us?”
    There had to be a way around her reluctance to share. “Why should I answer your questions when you refuse to answer mine?” Excellent. Soliciting her sense of fair play.
    A heavy pause. A grind of her teeth. “My name is . . . Macy.”
    Macy. It was a lovely name, as stunning as the woman herself—whichever face she happened to don (even his)—but it didn’t fit her. Still, it was worthy of shouting while pumping inside of her. Over and over again. “I am Breean, and I’m here to make a new home for myself and my men.” He’d beensearching forever, it seemed, but he’d finally found the perfect place to relocate.
    They’d spent the last several months coming and going, preparing. Earth had everything they needed: water, technology beyond their comprehension, medical supplies, and warm female bodies. More than that, the people here knew how to survive. If plague struck, they most likely had a cure. If not, they could create one.
    Never again did he want to watch those he loved die of debilitating sickness, helpless as a craving for living flesh bloomed inside them. Never again did he want to feel powerless as others died and he remained strong.
    â€œEarth might play host to all manner of alien races, but its people are in no way welcoming,” she said, and she sounded bitter about it.
    Did she have firsthand knowledge of that lack of welcome? “Humans will have no choice but to accept us.”
    â€œOh, really? Just like that?”
    â€œJust like that.” He hoped. “And now, this standoff is becoming tiresome, Macy.” Waiting, he decided, could be done in a more pleasurable way. He approached her, his yearning intensifying—soon, he
