In a flash, Revyn tears through the crowd and punches that guy in the teeth. “Watch your fucking mouth,” he growls, the sound tingling like lightning down my spine. “Or I’ll show you how wild my wolf gets.” Grabbing the man’s throat, he lifts him off the ground. “I’ll rip your throat out in a heartbeat. Better yet, I’ll letherdo it.”
A few females around me purr like kittens. I roll my eyes to keep from screaming.
“Revyn,” I hiss, grabbing his bulging forearm.Shit, has he been working out since we broke up? I squeeze his muscle long enough that he notices, his violent streak ending the second he drops the shifter to the ground and turns all his attention back on me.
Grinning, he drapes his arm over my shoulder. “Feel all you want, baby. I’m all yours.”
I shove him off and repeat myself yet again. “We aren’t together.”
A woman to my right inhales sharply. “Thank the gods for that.” I glare at her, and she blushes bright pink.
Revyn practically glows, the cocky smile on his lips making even me swoon. These other women don’t stand a chance if he turns his charm on them. “Easy with the eyes, Si.” He winks at me. “You’ll kill someone with that glare.”
“Maybe I’ll killyoufirst.”
He toys with the hem of my tunic and leans in close, his breath warm on my cheek. “You’re the only one who can.” Then he takes a step back like everything he just said isfine, not at all problematic or the least bit deranged.
I force my gaze away from him and take deep breaths to clear my head. Everything would be easier if he’d disappear from my life, but I’ve never wanted him to die. Sure, we aren’t meant for each other like I always thought, but that’s okay. I can move on.
But can he?
The question hits like a dagger to the heart.
In an effort to put distance between me and Revyn, I wander too close to a group of women not bothering to hide their displeasure. Among them is a familiar face. “Don’t tell me that you actually think someone will mate with you?” Veronica asks, her nose crinkled with disgust. “What more can you offer than awarm hole to fill?” She flicks sun-soaked hair over her shoulder. “But please, go ahead and try. Whore yourself out tonight. I’d love to know if the rumors are true.”
I grit my teeth and take the bait. “What rumors?”
Delighted, Veronica smiles. “That your cunt is as rotten as your soul, wildbitch.”
It takes every ounce of my restraint not to kill her. Her vital points come into focus with ease, my mind already tracking which spots are vulnerable. Nearly every inch of her skin is on display, meaning that I have clear access to all of her vital organs, should I wish to. I match her icy smile with my own. “I’m toldwild cuntis sweet as honey. You can have first taste since you’re so curious.”
Veronica’s face flushes with anger, but her friends gasp. I’m surprised she has any left after that stunt she pulled in the trials. I open my mouth to let them know how shitty their taste in friends is when one of them clutches the other and moans like a bitch in heat. “Oh, gods. He’s coming this way.” She pulls her shirt lower to show more cleavage and smiles prettily, her pupils dilating.
I roll my eyes. Who in the hells would get that kind of reaction?—
An intimately familiar scent washes over me, and I turn to find none other than Revyn sauntering our way. The roaring bonfire glows behind him, illuminating his physique in a way that’s criminal. I drag in a breath. The man’s stripped down to show off his body—or drive me insane. A delicate brush of hair beneath his collarbone trails down his chest and disappears into his waistband. I drink him in as greedily as the women behind me, unable to help myself, and he grins, the wicked curve of his lips promising every dirty little thought running through my head.
Damn him.
He’s still smiling as he comes to a stop directly in front of me.
“What are you doing?” I ask.
Firelight dances across his skin as he tugs on the string keeping his pants firmly attached to his hips. Rather than answer, he holds my gaze and continues stripping. He tosses his shirt at me and kicks off his boots, sighing happily as he stretches his arms over his head and cracks his neck. Then he winks at me and drops his pants.
Someone whistles. I blush, as furious with him as I am with myself.
Revyn is fuckinghot.
His cock swings heavily between his thighs, turning more than a few heads as murmurs erupt in the crowd. A handful of giggles float through the air alongside a few growls that Iknoware coming from the men.
The double standards for tolerance of wild wolves might be the death of me.
“Seriously?” I throw his clothes to the ground. “Here? Now?” I sweep my arm out to gesture to the many pairs of eyes staring at us. “You’re going to get nakednow?”
Holding out his hand, Revyn beams at me, and my heart beats violently at how beautiful he is...and how he used to be mine. “Come with me, Sienna.” The dimple in his left cheek makes me want to scream. “Fuck everyone else. Let’s go for a run. You and me.”
Like old times.
