set in.
“Melina? Bayla? Cal?” Jax screamed as she started sprinting towards the cave habitat.
Reven roared in anger and fear as he easily passed her, which made it hurt even more when he stopped dead in his tracks, and Jax flew into the back of him at a full run. Hitting him felt like being chucked into a wall, she thought as she bounced off his back and hit the ground equally as hard.
Jax lay sprawled out for a second before pulling herself together and sitting up to catch the breath she’d lost when she’d hit Reven. What he didn’t take with the first hit the ground did, she thought shaking her head to clear it.
“Are you all right?” Reven asked as he held his hand out to Jax.
Jax ignored him and rolled to the side. She stood and smiled as she watched the tiger play with the little ones. He pawed one of the big balls gently towards the baby while batting another one a little harder for Melina. Both of the girls were giggling and obviously enjoying themselves.
“Don’t! Don’t you dare.” Reven growled warningly when he knew Jax was getting ready to throw him one of her ‘I told you so’ smirks. He didn’t think he could take it right now.
His emotions were such a mess; he wasn’t sure if he wanted to throttle her or bend her over one of those balls and finally take what belonged to him. At the moment, both options held a lot of appeal to him; he thought with a scowl. Fortunately for her, the children were here.
“We need to get them into a proper bed. It’s already late.” Reven said through gritted teeth.
“Fine! You tell them that.” Jax said, crossing her arms over her chest in defiance. The only thing she accomplished was to push her cleavage up farther in her black tank top, drawing Reven’s eyes to her breasts.
Fighting the growl that threatened to erupt as he fought his need for her, Reven walked to the children and tried not to let it show that he was frustrated. Sexually, physically, mentally and emotionally frustrated.
All because of one smart mouthed, intelligent and beautiful woman who would rather kick his ass than kiss him again. Damn if he didn’t feel angry enough to kick those fucking balls off the damn mountain, he thought.
Stopping several feet from the tiger, Reven cleared his throat to get their attention. “Girls, it’s really late and we all need to get some sleep. We have a lot to discuss in the morning, and rest will help you heal.”
Reven just about patted himself on the back for saying that so calmly when both girls burst into tears and ran to the tiger, clutching his fur as the cat turned angry eyes to Reven.
“What the f…?” Reven asked, looking helplessly at Jax, who cut him a scathing glare before she headed over to comfort the now hysterical children. What the hell, had just happened? Reven wondered as he watched the sobbing children fall into Jax’s arms.
“Shhh, it’s all right. He’s not mad at you; he's just tired and grumpy. He gets like that when he needs a nap.” Jax said to the girls, but Reven knew damn well it was for his ears as well.
Throttling her was looking better and better, he thought as he tried to tamp down his irritation with her. When the sobbing eased to little sniffles that nearly broke his heart, he’d finally calmed down enough to get close to the girls.
“Hey… I didn’t mean to scare you. Like Jax said, I’m tired. I don’t know how you two have so much energy because I’m pretty beat, and I doubt I’ve been up as long as you have.” Reven said squatting down near the girls and giving them a bright smile.
Melina was the first to give him a shy smile before she turned away to wipe the baby’s tears. Bayla was a lot like Jax and was going to be a little harder to win over; Reven thought with a sigh.
“We can come back and see Cal again, can’t we?” Melina asked Reven with those big blue eyes and there was no way that he
