She wanted to hold him forever. To keep him close to her and to protect him from anyone who would hurt him.
Her body tingled as all her senses swirled together. In a bolt of white-hot pleasure, her orgasm came. Throwing her head back, Kat screamed in ecstasy.
Sin continued to thrust until he joined her there in paradise.
He collapsed against her, holding her tight while she listened to his heart pounding against her breast and his breath tickled her neck.
"I think," she whispered in his ear, "you've broken me."
"How so?"
"I can't feel my legs and I have no desire to ever leave this bed again."
He laughed. "Can I sleep up here?"
"Um, no. I want on top. You're heavy."
He faked an indignant gape. "Heavy? I'll have you know-"
"You're six feet, seven inches. Your bones alone weigh a ton."
"And what about you?"
"I'm heavy, too, but I want on top."
He nibbled at her lips. "Fine. I'll make a deal with you then... feel free to climb on top of me any time you want to." He rolled over then and pulled her across his body.
Smiling, Kat settled down by his side. "Oh yeah, this is perfect." She splayed her hand over his chest and merely took delight in the feel of his skin under her palm.
Sin couldn't breathe as he felt the heat of her body pressed up against his as she told him about Xypher and what she'd accomplished in Hades. While she talked, the scent of her body hung heavy in Sin's head and, to his surprise, he could feel his cock starting to harden again.
How could that be? And yet he couldn't deny what he felt. Some alien part of himself needed her more than his body needed to breathe.
Katra had a hold on him that he couldn't even begin to understand. But that same alien part of himself wouldn't change that hold for anything. And when she slid herself over him to feed, he felt an inexplicable closeness to her. It was like they were sharing more than blood with each other. They were sharing souls.
And as he lay there, lost in the scent and sensation that was Katra, he drifted off to sleep.
Well fed and sated, Kat smiled as she heard Sin's light snore. It was a sweet sound that quickly lulled her to sleep. But unlike the wonderful sharing that had zapped her strength, her dreams were fraught with nightmares.
All she could see was the gallu coming after her. Hear Kessar calling down the Dimme to kill them.
If only she knew it was a dream and not a premonition...
Kat woke up to an empty bed. She actually felt like pouting at the missing sight and warmth of Sin.
At least until she heard someone moving around outside. Smiling, she grabbed Sin's button-down shirt from the bed and shrugged it over her shoulders, leaving it unbuttoned to hopefully entice him back to bed before she went to sneak up on him.
She opened the door and smiled as she saw him bent over behind the bar. Biting her lip, she snuck up to him, but before she reached him he straightened.
Kat squeaked in alarm as she realized he wasn't tall enough or wide enough at this angle to be Sin. Kish turned around with a frown that turned to a gasp as he saw her nearly naked state.
Embarrassed to the depth of her soul, she ran toward the safety of the bedroom and slammed the door.
"Kat," he said from the other side. "It's okay. I didn't see anything. Really."
"Yeah, right."
"Okay, look. I will never admit to seeing anything. Please don't tell Sin or he'll gouge out my eyes. Okay? It's our secret. I swear."
