Ka'Cit's Haven (Riv’s Sanctuary #3)

Ka’Cit matched her, brushing the tip of her tongue with his just before their tongues dived against each other, frolicking…stroking…mating.

She could feel the tips of his fangs and that only made her moan a little more.

He was wild, powerful, strong, but oh so gentle as he held her against him.

Kissing him was a whole experience she hadn’t been prepared for.

Ka’Cit’s hands moved down to rest against her waist as hers went up behind his head, clasping the nape of his neck as her fingers threaded through his hair.

A kiss had never left her weak, but this one was about to.

There was a sweet sort of energy building between them, forcing them together, but she couldn’t let go and she didn’t want it to stop.

Seconds ticked by while the world stood still and as Nia’s legs became weak, her body turned into jelly.

When she finally wrenched her lips from his to take a breath, Nia opened her eyes and met his.

He didn’t need to say anything and she didn’t either.

She could see it in his eyes even as she could feel it within herself.

Something had just changed between them…and she was pretty sure there was no going back.

Ka’Cit’s sat-watch beeped and he cursed underneath his breath.

The moment was broken and Nee-ya blinked.

Her hands loosened from his neck and she began to stand.

He let her go, releasing her even though he didn’t want to.

That moment they’d just shared…he wanted to relive it again, and again, and again.

His sat-watch beeped once more and this time, he cursed out loud.

At that moment, he wished he’d ripped it from his arm and left it to float in the void.

Nee-ya cleared her throat and stood, sliding away from him and he immediately felt a loss with her no longer pressed against him.

“That’s an alarm, I guess?”

Ka’Cit jerked his chin in a nod.

“It was.” It was time to go.

Awkwardly, he sighed and closed his legs, not that it helped to hide anything. His cock was hard and throbbing in his trousers; he wasn’t even sure he could stand without it pointing straight at her.

So, he remained kneeling on the floor.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts as he ran a hand back through his hair. “I shouldn’t be here right now. I was on a…job, before I came after you.”

She nodded and her fingers went to touch her lips before she caught herself. She looked away from him then. “I remember. I heard that…call you had when we were hiding.” She paused. “Is that what you were doing? When you were checking those Niftrills?”

Ah, he had been wondering what she was thinking when she’d stopped running to look back at him.

“Yes.” He studied her a little. He guessed there was no harm in telling her about it. “One of them had the information I needed.”
