Before the heat can claim us and we start grinding into each other, I reluctantly pull back and look into her lively sky blue eyes. “Those planets you went to are real.”
“ Pig’s arse!”
I can’t stop the chuckle that rumbles from me at the sight of her shocked face. “They are very real.” I take her hand and squeeze it lightly to get her full attention. “They are also deadly.” I nod toward the unit on the couch next to us. “You didn’t tell me you were killed today. That raktikian that stalked you is a deadly creature as well.” I barely contain a shudder as I confront her.
She shrugs a creamy shoulder. “That part wasn’t important. I lived and learned from the experience. On Earth I plotted most of our routes. I’m good at it. Today I learned that other places are just as deadly as Earth if you don’t know who and what to look for.”
Her confidence is good and bad. I cup her face and stare into her eyes. “Don’t ever leave this craft without me by your side.” Just the thought of her exploring dangerous planets alone has fear slicing through my veins. I shouldn’t have let her use the practice unit.
No, I need to keep my distance. She is just my sesien min. My heart drops and then leaps back up only to swell painfully in my chest. Kanda is way more to me than just a sesien min. Rizpa nin! That is a scary and strangely exciting thought.
Her eyes narrow as she stares into my soul. I can’t stop the emotional ride I’m on. She is seeing too much.
A small smile curls her luscious lips and her bright blue eyes soften. “I promise not to leave this ship without you.” Her gaze cuts to the unit and then returns to mine. “Although I had an amazing day safely exploring those worlds, I know I wouldn’t last long on foreign soil without you there to guide me away from danger.” Her eyes shine and soften even more. “I trust you, Klimen.”
Her softly spoken words flip a switch inside my heart. I growl and hug her tightly to me. The possessive beast in me rises to the surface. Kanda is way more than a sesien min to me. She has become my world in a short amount of time.
I’ll gladly explore this new world known as Kanda for the rest of my life.
CHAPTER 13 ~ Kanda ~ ♥
Each second of every day draws me closer to Klimen.
I can’t escape the magnetic draw I’ve had for him since I first saw him. When he takes my hand in his much larger one, I shiver at the electrical arc that flows through me. I know he feels it too. That makes me happy and a bit horny. This guy keeps me in a constant state of need.
I brush my hands down the soft dark yellow rose dress I’m wearing. Clothes feel a bit odd now that I’ve gone days in the nude. It’s not a bad feeling just a strange one. I must be a nudist at heart.
Klimen takes my hand and leads me from our quarters. I can’t believe we are leaving our rooms. My heart is pounding as I hungrily take in all the details of the craft we are using to fly through space. The corridor we are walking down is an interesting mix of silvers and grays. The soft glow of light coming from the orbs in the ceiling keeps the smooth shiny walls from reflecting a blinding amount of light. Flood lights would be a disaster in here.
The doors along the corridor are the color of a stormy day and the floor reminds me of a deep charcoal gray. The craft is extremely clean. I like that.
The end of the corridor opens into another one. Klimen leads me left. I look around and all I see is the same color scheme and no other people.
“ How many people are on this craft?” If I hadn’t been so absorbed in him I would have asked that questions days age. Something about him makes me lose my mind.
“ Thirteen in all. Ten dagrinians and three humans. Sometimes we have paying passengers, but we don’t have any at this moment.”
