Kidnappping Casey Read online

  “You have to sleep sometime, Argernon.”

  He tilted his head slightly. “Everyone sleeps. What do you mean by that wording?”

  She glared at him. “It means if you want to live a long life you’ll rethink this and take me back home. It means you can’t be on your guard all the time and when you are sleeping you are vulnerable. You might be huge and stronger than me, but I won’t accept this.”

  Rage hit his features. “You are threatening to kill me?”

  “Shit,” Casey muttered as fear hit her hard. The guy was enormous and a warrior. He was damn strong and she wasn’t likely to ever forget it since he’d carried her for miles like she weighed nothing to him. “Just let me go,” she said softly. “Please.”

  He moved lightning fast. Casey saw him coming in the blink of an eye but had nowhere to go. She screamed when he grabbed her arms, her feet left the floor before she flew through the air, to hit the bed facedown, hard. She expected pain but there was none. Her hands were yanked behind her back. One of his hands restrained her wrists together. Casey heard material tear. She couldn’t see what he was doing with her hair in the way. She turned her head, rubbing her face on the mattress, trying to clear the long strands away from her eyes.

  “Let me go!” She tried to turn over but a knee came down on her ass. It didn’t hurt. He only applied enough of his weight down on her backside to hold her pinned down tight on his bed. “Damn it! Get off me!”

  Material was wound around her wrists. She struggled but she couldn’t get free. She did manage to turn her head to see that he’d torn a strip from the sheets that he was using to tie her wrists with. He didn’t look at her as he bound her wrists. His hand released her but the material held them together. He removed his knee to step away from the bed.

  “Let me go, damn you!” She rolled on her side, struggling to sit up.

  Argernon growled at her. He gripped the front of her shirt at the neckline giving it a hard yank downward. Material tore all the way open along the front of the shirt so Casey’s chest and stomach were exposed. Casey gasped as she did a dive for the bed. She hit on her stomach, covering her now exposed breasts. Throwing her head back to clear hair out of the way, she turned her head to glare up at him.

  “If you force me I will kill you, you son of a bitch.”

  His gaze tore from her as he eyed the room. His attention returned to bed. A growl tore from his throat. The translator was malfunctioning, Casey thought, or there weren’t words for the angry sounds he was making. He tore the top blanket from the bed where it had been pushed to the edge out of the way. The pillows went sliding with the blanket. His dagger-like knife went flying to hit the floor. Argernon’s angry eyes shot from the knife to her.

  “No weapon, Casey? What is that?”

  “I have no idea exactly what that is. It’s not like anything I’ve ever seen before. It was in your bathroom. You tell me what the hell it is.”

  He growled again, storming for the fallen sharp object. He yanked it up and walked for the door. He shoved his hand over the scanner to open the door. Casey watched him with dread as he threw the weapon into the corridor so it wasn’t in his quarters anymore. She saw a man stop to stare into the room. This was another Zorn warrior, one she’d never seen before. He had jet black hair, tan skin, was as big as Argernon, and wearing almost the same black outfit. The man’s eyes terrified Casey as she stared back at him. They were totally black, giving them an evil appearance.

  Argernon snarled at the man in the corridor. “Keep walking, Daros.”

  The man tore his stare from Casey to frown at Argernon. “Are you having problems with your human? Need a hand? I’m good with seducing women.”

  Argernon roared before he stepped back. The door slammed shut blocking the curious eyes of the black-eyed Daros who was left standing in the corridor. Argernon turned and snarled in fury.

  “Is that what you want? Should I hand you over to another male since you find me so distasteful that you wish to kill me with my own shara?”

  “I don’t know what a shara is and don’t you dare let someone else touch me.” Terror rolled through her at the thought of Argernon letting another man near her. Tears filled her eyes. “Please don’t let someone hurt me.”

  He took some ragged breaths. “A shara is kept to cut hair when it gets too long and it is also a good weapon to keep nearby in case of attack. I didn’t mean that about another male. I am furious. You are my bound. I will kill any man who touches you. If your human men share their women then I am as unlike a human as a man can get. Are we understanding of each other?”

  Relief hit her. “Yes.”

  “Good.” He started to remove his clothing. He still looked pissed. “Stop looking at me like that.”

  “Why are you taking off your clothes?” Her anger was fading fast to be replaced with fear. Argernon was stripping. “Stop getting naked.”

  “It is impossible to make you want me with both of us dressed. Our clothing would only get in the way.”

  Casey had a really bad feeling. “You’re going to force me?”

  Argernon shot her another angry look. “Never. Harming is the last thing I would do to you, Casey. I never want to bring you pain.” His amazing blue eyes narrowed, his thick lips tightening into almost a smirk. “I feel confident that I can make you want me.”

  “Oh shit,” Casey muttered.

  She was certain he could make her want him too if he really put his mind to it. Anger burned in her, as the fear was swept away. She felt as if she were on an emotionally charged roller-coaster ride. She just wanted off and not in the sexual way that Argernon was obviously set on.

  She watched him with dread as he stripped completely. Her eyes took in his perfectly muscular tan body. Looking at Argernon with his ridged muscles and sexy long hair made her want him. She had one very turned-on sexy hot alien standing next to the bed. His eyes roamed her backside. Very slowly he bent over her as their gaze locked together.

  “I won’t forgive you for this if you seduce me,” she said softly. “I’m angry and I don’t want you. That should be enough for you to respect my feelings to not do this.”

  Argernon had the nerve to chuckle. “Do your Earth men believe it when human women say these things?”

  Casey shot him a glare over her shoulder. Her neck was starting to hurt from twisting her head to see him behind her. “Yes, they do.”

  His eyes sparkled with amusement. “You are making me think that your males aren’t smart if they can’t handle an angry woman.” He gripped the back of the damaged shirt still clinging to her body. He shredded the shirt, tossing the pieces over his shoulder to the floor behind him.

  She tried to roll away but Argernon pinned her flat on her stomach with his hands. He suddenly gripped her hips with both of his large hands to yank them up, forcing her to her knees. With her hands tied behind her back she couldn’t brace her upper body. Her head and chest were against the bed with her ass up high in the air where he held her in place.

  “Stay like this.”

  “Go to hell, Argernon. You kidnapped me. You won’t let me go home. I don’t want you seducing me.”

  His large hands caressed her skin. A shiver ran down her as roughened calloused skin teased her as he captured her ass with both hands, gripping her firmly to keep her there. One of his fingers slid along the line of her slit between her thighs, that same finger finding her clit. He tapped the sensitive nub repeatedly. His other hand shifted his hold on her butt, the thumb of that hand finding her pussy entrance, to rub back and forth a fraction inside her.

  Casey squeezed her eyes shut. Her body responded to the large Zorn. He bent over her more. His large frame pressed against her curved body. Argernon’s long hair teased where his hair fell against her naked back. Hot breath fanned on her skin when moved in closer to her neck. His lips hesitated just next to her ear.

  “You are mine now, Casey. I won’t let you go. I can’t. We’re bound together. You can’t deny what
