“What the fuck?” Rayna jerked back, into Asher, rushing to get as far away from whatever the hell Evelyn was.

The girl in question glared at a guy lounging in the pool, the top half of his ripped body peeking out of the water. He smirked, then ran his hand across the surface to send more spray towards Evelyn. “What’s the matter, Eve? Afraid of a little water?”

She scowled, razor-sharp teeth still bared, but at least her face was shifting back to it’s pretty—normal—state from before. “You know what saltwater does to me, you ass.” She straightened her shoulders. “And I’m trying to look my best for our newest edition.”

Evelyn gestured to Rayna and the guy’s piercing blue eyes took her in from head to toe. “Who is she?” he asked as he waded to the edge of the pool.

Evelyn’s chin lifted, pointing her nose higher. “Hale wouldn’t part with too many details, except to mention she’s a daughter of Nyx. So, you know that’s gotta mean she’s packing some serious firepower in that petite body of hers.”

The guy whistled while his gaze grew a little too interested for Rayna’s liking, but her brain was too busy processing to give a damn at that moment. He hauled himself out, hands braced on the stones surrounding the water, then sauntered closer, rivulets sluicing down his muscular body and the tight green bathing suit he wore.

It should’ve been enough to distract anyone attracted to men, but Asher leaned in close, stealing all Rayna’s attention when his lips brushed her ear.

His front was plastered to her back because she’d wedged herself against him to escape the creature Evelyn had turned into. Delicious heat radiated from him, drawing her in even closer.

“Evelyn’s a Siren,” Asher whispered, warm breath tickling her ear. “Beautiful and deadly. Especially towards men.”

Rayna had a picture of Sirens in her head, something like a mermaid with a fish tail lurking in the water, waiting to drag men into the ocean and send them to a watery death.

Definitely not the poised girl shaking off the tiny drops dotting her skin and dress, brushing them from her lavender hair. Evelyn was currently chatting with the wet guy, his gaze darting at Rayna every few moments.

“Doesn’t look like she’s about to kill him.”

Asher snorted. “I’m guessing he’s some sort of water nymph. Could make him immune to her since Sirens usually drown their victims by luring men into the water with their voice. A sort of seduction men can’t resist. Some women, too, but it’s rare for Sirens to even target a female victim.”

“What about you?”

He moved away a few inches and she instantly missed his warmth surrounding her, had to fight the urge to lean back into him, beg him to never stop touching her. To never let her go.

He shrugged. “Her Siren Call wouldn’t have the same effect on me as other males. I doubt she knows that, which is probably why she didn’t really acknowledge me.”

And he didn’t want to give away the fact her voice wouldn’t work on him, so he’d done the same—ignored her in return.
