Savage Alien: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance (Reestrian Mates Book 5) Read Online Free

contrasted beautifully with her dark hair. She was barefoot, and he suspected she wore nothing beneath the robe. Her nipples shone through the sheer fabric. Perfect .
    He waited until she met his stare, and in her gaze he felt the genuine goodness inside her. Her eyes glimmered an odd, bright shade of blue in the overhead lights. Only in the Northern clans on Reestria had he seen females with eyes so brilliantly blue.
    “Mia.” He approached her and grasped her shaking hand. “My Mia.”
    She tried to pull her hand from his. Despite not wanting to break contact with her, he released her and stepped back. He nodded at Heega. “You honor me with this gift, brother. I will bond with her and cherish her for the rest of my life. She will be protected and become a respected member of the Giamot Clan. Thank you, brother.”
    Heega inclined his head and then left his quarters. The door zipped shut behind him, sealing Sekor inside with his mate. His beautiful Mia. Had he known humans as lovely as she existed, he would have beamed down to the surface to claim one himself.
    But he was happy he hadn’t known, because the female Heega had selected was more than perfect. The defiant spark in her eyes made him grin. Ah, she would make life interesting.
    “I see the passion in your eyes, little Mia.”
    “Little Mia? I’m five foot six, for your information. That’s average height for a woman where I come from. Not that you’d know that. I doubt you know much about humans, and you certainly know nothing about me.”
    “You are angry.” Confusion swept through him. Females captured as mating gifts were usually highly sought after beauties from powerful clan families on Reestria. She should be honored to have been taken by Heega. “You are not supposed to be angry, little Mia. You are supposed to be overjoyed to have been chosen for the honor of mating with a Warrior Reestrian.”
    She laughed, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. She was right, he didn’t know much about humans. He stepped closer to her, only for her to back away. Her behavior confounded him.
    “Overjoyed? Are you for real? I was kidnapped and told I’m to become some strange alien’s mate. What part of that scenario is supposed to leave me overjoyed?” Her hands curled into fists and she peered around him, her face lighting up as she stared out the small window, a perfect view of Rahatha’s streets below the landing site. “Let me walk off this ship right now. Please.”
    “I can’t allow that. You belong to me now, Mia. If your family didn’t wish for you to be taken as a mate, they should have protected you.” He suspected her family didn’t care for her wellbeing, otherwise the males, her father and her brothers, would have kept her hidden. This thought saddened him.
    “My family?” She made an exacerbated noise. “I live by myself. I’m a grown woman. I’m thirty years old and I’ve been living on my own for the last twelve years, thank you very much.”
    “You will live alone no longer.” He closed the space between them and cupped her face. She flinched but didn’t pull away, and he stroked her cheeks with his thumbs, drawing circles on her soft, warm flesh.
    “Please, Sekor. I am afraid of you.”
    He dropped his hands to his sides and took three large steps back. The look of relief on her face to have him so far away perplexed him. Why did she fear him? He planned to protect her and love her.
    “Does your heart belong to another, Mia?”
    “N-no.”
    “Then why haven’t you taken your robe off and offered yourself to me?”
    She tied the robe tighter and crossed her arms, preventing him from staring at the mounds of her breasts. “Unbelievable,” she muttered. “Do you really expect me to strip naked and fall at your feet? Keep dreamin’, asshole, because that will never happen. I want to leave this ship. Now.”
    Nothing fazed Sekor, ever. Not until Mia. He was normally confident, so confident he felt no fear in battle,
