was intensely interested, but she didn’t want to get too deep into it. “You have a lovely selection of weapons. The craftsmanship is excellent.”
He inclined his head. “Thank you.”
“You made them?”
“I did. It was a summer project.” She sat back and looked around her. “What was this?” She gestured to the palace around her, the soaring balconies and the patterned garden.
He grinned. “This was all part of a plan.”
Chapter Six
T he tour of the palace took the better part of an hour, but Meena’s head was spinning at the intricate design of every inch of the quartz and granite.
“Do you entertain here very often?” The question was casual, but she winced the moment that she said it.
He smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist. “I have not. This is my private sanctuary. I have a house in the city for entertaining.”
“Oh. Why am I here then?”
He turned her to face him. “You are here because you are my destiny and I am yours. I know it sounds trite, but it rings with truth, does it not?”
She nodded. From what she had learned of Kebril so far, his life and hers would mesh very well. “It does feel true.”
“Are you willing to trust me and to walk the line of experimentation with me?” Meena dragged in a breath. “I do trust you. It freaks me out that I do.”
He smiled, the curve of his lips causing a dimple to appear. “I am glad that I can unsettle you.”
She didn’t have a chance to respond. He pressed his lips to hers in another light, exploratory caress, but this time, she threaded her finger through his hair and pursued a firmer contact.
His fingers wrapped around her waist, and she felt a tug at the side of her shirt. It peeled open under his expert guidance and fell to one side.
They were in an empty hall near the garden, but it didn’t matter. They were alone, and as he peeled her clothing from her, she followed suit with his clothes. Naked, they twined together, and she held tight to him as he lifted her, setting the wet heat of her sex on the tip of his cock.
Her own body weight pulled her down, but his hands kept her from going too fast.
The feel of his rigid erection inside her made her close her eyes to absorb the feel so she could commit it to memory. He lifted and lowered her in a heady rhythm. She wrapped her legs around him and held tight to his shoulders as they rocked rapidly toward release.
She moaned and leaned back, letting her neck take the weight of her head as they rocked and slid together. Meena felt his teeth on her neck, and she shuddered, twisting her hips against him as she prayed for orgasm.
A spiral of heat started where Kebril’s mouth touched her throat, and the spiral coursed through her bloodstream, centering on the point of joining and flared through her clit.
She shifted her hips a quarter of an inch, and she shook as her orgasm struck her, rocked her and left her gasping for air.
She heard a low moan, and Kebril thrust into her one final time, holding her hips tight to his as his cock jerked and bucked inside her.
Meena held tight to him as they both fought to regain normal breathing patterns. She chuckled. “I thought the nanites kept you compensated for any exertion.”
She pressed her lips to his shoulder as he cradled her tightly against him.
“Apparently, Genaran science has nothing on you, Meena. I am exhausted.” He chuckled.
“How can you be exhausted, it isn’t even noon?”
“You have worn me out. I definitely feel the need for a nap. Care to join me?” He gave her a charming smile.
“Of course. You are my host. I would be lost without you.”
She noticed that they were moving, but he wasn’t walking. “You can fly, too?”
“Oh, I have many, many talents. I look forward to you discovering them one by one.” He gave up all pretence, and they whisked through the halls to his room. Even his bed was made of the same stone, but the sheets and bedding were of the softest stuff Meena could have
