Violet And Her Alien Matchmaker Read Online Free

me, I meant for Simon and
    you as well. We’ll eat together, just like we did today. And whenever you have a date, I’ll be happy to watch Simon. We can play a game or something while you’re gone, or I can rent a movie for him. I’ve discovered the wonderful world of Amazon videos.”
    She smiled a little at his enthusiasm.

Chapter Two
    Tiraz looked in his rearview mirror and watched as Simon slept. He smiled,
    thinking the little boy really was rather spectacular. He’d never seen himself with kids before, even though the thought of getting married someday flitted through his mind every now and then. The woman next to him confused him. From what he’d seen of her so far, she was soft spoken and very concerned about her son. He seemed to be her entire world, and yet, from what Tiraz had gathered during their meal, they had done without on many occasions. Why had she waited so long to find a mate?
    Violet was quiet beside him as she looked out the window. She’d given him
    directions and he knew he was going to the poor side of town, not an area he was overly familiar with. As his car prowled down the streets, he wondered what he was going to do with Violet and Simon. It had been impulsive asking them to live with him, but he didn’t regret it. If he could help them, he would.
    He really needed to know a little more about her before he tried to match her with anyone, but he still felt Zarin would be an ideal choice. The male was friendly and liked small children, and Tiraz was fairly certain he would welcome a human child, if it meant he’d have a mate. He hadn’t lied to Violet. Zarin had been on quite a few dates, but he never made it past the first date with any of them. Tiraz wasn’t certain what Zarin was looking for, but maybe he’d find it with Violet.
    Not that it would be a hardship to have a woman around the place, cooking and giving him someone to talk to. And he could always play video games with Simon.
    Maybe this would be good practice for when he finally had a family of his own, not that he was in a rush. He hadn’t lacked for female attention since moving to Earth, but it had been meaningless sex. He’d felt guilty at first, until he realized they were using him just as much as he’d been using them. Once he’d figured that out, he’d stopped sleeping with random women. Hell, he hadn’t slept with a woman in over six months, and now that there would be a small child in the house, he had a feeling he wouldn’t be sleeping with one anytime soon.
    When he pulled up in front of Violet’s apartment complex, he hoped he’d hid his wince. The building was run down and most of the windows were covered with sheets instead of curtains. Simon seemed reluctant to get out of the car, but Violet held out her hand to the little boy and he climbed out. Tiraz made sure to set the alarm on the car as he followed them up the broken walkway. They passed a rundown playground before stopping in front of a door with chipped paint. He noticed there were actual curtains at the window.
    “This one is yours?” he asked.
    Violet nodded as her cheeks flushed. He ran a hand down her back, letting it settle at her waist when he realized she was embarrassed over where she lived. She tensed a moment before relaxing into his touch, and he wondered how long it had been since a man had held her. She’d obviously had sex before, since she was a mother, but had she been with anyone since Simon was born? She’d never mentioned boyfriends.
    Simon hadn’t said much about his mother looking for someone to marry. If it had just been the two of them all these years, how would he feel about sharing his mother’s attention with someone else? Had she talked to him about the situation, or had she just forged ahead without talking about it?
    She unlocked the door and pushed it open. There was a slightly stale smell that billowed out of the door and he braced himself for what he might find inside. Simon trudged through the door, and
