Phantom Warriors: Saber-Tooth (4 page)

her body with his tongue. Her scent intoxicated him until he found it difficult to think.

The fight she put up in her transport had left him achingly hard. Unlike most human

couplings, which he’d studied intensely before leaving Planet Zaron, mating between

pairs amongst his people could be extremely physical. Biting and scratching was

common. Kegar had a feeling that this human huntress would be up to the task. She’d

have to be, because he intended to claim her. Already his body had begun the mating

heat.

Kegar smiled, pacing around the sleep paddock, hoping he could get himself under

control before he touched her. He’d told the woman that she’d come to him willingly

and he’d meant it. She didn’t need to know that his pheromones from the mating heat

would aid in her capitulation. Kegar could smell the changes in her. The cream between

her legs trickled down her pussy lips like a softly flowing brook. Soon her need would

grow too intense for her to control, then she would beg for his cock.

The thought sent a shard of pain through his groin. He wouldn’t be able to wait

much longer. Instinct rode him hard. The urge to mate was too strong. His heat had

triggered her own. Kegar wanted to roar in frustration. Instead, he continued walking,

slowing his steps until they kept time with each exhalation.

What is your name?

“Tell me yours first.” She arched a brow in challenge.

He flashed her a smile, curling his hands into fists to keep from reaching for her.

Very well. My name is Kegar.

“That’s an unusual name.”

Not where I’m from.

“And just where would that be?”

Kegar could read her thoughts easily. She hoped to gain enough information to give

to the authorities after he left here. She had no idea that they’d be leaving this planet

together… the second he finished fucking her. Kegar debated whether to inform her of

her fate, but decided against it. She’d learn the truth soon enough. He stopped his

pacing and faced her.

I’m from far away. Now what’s your name, little one?

She snorted. “No one’s called me little since I was twelve years old.”

He frowned, not entirely sure what she meant.

“My name is Katy Manfred and you, Kegar, are in a lot of trouble—unless you give

me my damn cat back.”

I am sure that is what you’d like to believe, but it is not so.

“How do you figure, since you’ve stolen my saber-tooth?”

I have taken nothing.

“Fine, whatever! You may not have taken the cat, that remains to be seen, but you’ve

been holding me against my will for the last thirty minutes. On top of that, you’ve all

but admitted that you plan to rape me.”

Actually, I believe I said you would come to me willingly. Your body already grows heavy with

need. I can see your nipples beneath your shirt. They are hard and aching for my mouth, my

tongue…like your pussy desires my cock.
He grabbed his shaft, fisting its thick girth, then

began to slowly stroke up and down.

Katy’s gaze riveted, following his movements. Her breathing deepened and her

hands clasped the covers as if to prevent herself from moving toward him. Kegar hid his

smile and continued to fondle his length. After a few moments, his breathing matched

hers and his grin faltered as he clenched his teeth. Sweat beaded his skin. Teasing her

wasn’t working the way he’d hoped. If anything, it was backfiring. He released his cock,

refusing to spend himself in his palm. Katy licked her lips and her fingers slipped

between her cloth-covered legs.

You will not pleasure yourself!
The command was loud in his own ears. Kegar growled,

his body trembling with need.
Call to me now!

“No,” she said, her hips rocking as she slumped back down onto the bed. “What

have you done to me?” Her eyes clouded as lust took over.

I have done nothing…yet. Do you not see that you make us both suffer needlessly? I know you

want me as I want you. Your pride is the only thing stilling your tongue.

Katy blinked as the truth hit her. Kegar was right. She did want him—or at least her

body did, while her mind boycotted the decision. His rapt attention drew her, making

Katy want to believe the impossible. No man had ever desired her this way. Roger had

wanted sex, but he’d never wanted her. Kegar did. His every move told her so. If she

had any doubt, all Katy had to do was look in his eyes. They burned with hunger and so

much emotion that it was almost painful to gaze upon. Kegar’s intensity left her feeling

raw and exposed. He hid nothing and demanded the same in return.

Yet, as much as he desired her, he would not take her without permission. Katy

knew that implicitly. The knowledge both frightened and excited her because in the end

she knew the decision to sleep with him was ultimately hers to make.

Kegar’s muscles shifted beneath his taut skin. Her clit throbbed in response. She’d

never wanted anybody as much as she wanted this man. She was obviously out of her

mind. The old Katy Manfred never wanted a man. Sex was below mowing the lawn on

her “to-do” list.

“Who are you really?”

I told you my name is Kegar.

“That’s your name, not who you are.” The need became unbearable. Katy’s back

bowed off the bed. His scent filled every pore on her body, leaving her delirious. She

couldn’t stand the feel of her clothes against her skin. Like a woman possessed, she

began ripping them away, her movements frenzied, her normal modesty all but

forgotten. Welts rose on her skin where her nails raked.

Enough! Tell me to come to you. I can ease your body.

The deep baritone of his voice echoed in her head. “No!” she screamed, tearing her

bra and panties off. Nakedness didn’t seem to help. Katy could smell the musk from her

pussy as it wept for Kegar. He stood at the end of her bed, his hands gripping the oak

frame until she heard splintering. She glanced at his cock, noticing a fresh glisten of

moisture forming at the top. A moan tore from her throat. “Please.”

I must hear the words.

“Please, Kegar.”

Tell me the words and I will end this. Tell me you want me.

She heard the pain that gripped his admission. It tore at her heart. He needed her.

And more than that, Kegar needed to know that she wanted him. The urge to welcome

him into her body, into her life was strong and left Katy shaken. Tears filled her eyes

and spilled down her cheeks as her body became inflamed with a passion that she never

knew existed. “Damn you,” Katy sobbed.

That’s not enough. Tell me.

“Okay, I want you to fuck me. I admit it. Are you happy now?” She surrendered on

a whimper.

No.
He shook his head, sending his hair over his shoulders.
Tell me that you want…me.

Their eyes met, clashed, then seemed to come to an unspoken agreement. “I want

you,” Katy said softly. “Only you.”

To his credit, Kegar did not smile. He knelt onto the bed and crawled between her

legs, moving like a big cat. He didn’t climb on top of her. Instead, Kegar stopped when

he reached her pussy and buried his nose into her curls, his flat rough tongue spreading

her folds with one long swipe.

Katy cried out, her body arching to get closer to his mouth. Kegar did not

disappoint. He dropped onto his belly and began to feast upon her clit, nipping and

soothing the exposed nerves until she was convinced she’d go insane. Pressure seized

her womb as his coarse tongue flittered like a vibrator. She gasped, but he didn’t stop,

only increased speed. It was too much, the intensity too strong, his tongue against her

engorged clit. She couldn’t take any more. Katy reached for Kegar to drag him up. She

needed him inside her.

He lightly bit her hand in warning, and then continued to lick and suckle. Kegar

refused to be rushed. He’d waited for his woman, convinced she’d never appear. He had

all but given up hope, then he’d seen her and his heart had nearly burst. Now that Kegar

had her, he wanted to savor her. He wanted to know every inch of Katy Manfred. Hear

every sound she made from a gurgle to a scream as he fucked her with his tongue and

then his cock. They had a lifetime to get to know each other. Right now, he needed this

primal connection. He needed to know his mate wanted him, wanted what he could give

her. That meant taking his time.

Kegar grasped Katy’s hips and spread them wider, so he could view her pussy. Pink

and perfect, she bloomed before his eyes like a flower at first dawn, its petals covered in

dew. Her scent surrounded him, causing his head to spin and his cock to ache. The

thought of sliding into her sent fire rushing through his body. Kegar released one thigh

and pressed a finger into her entrance. Katy moaned.

She was tight and oh-so wet. The combination left him salivating. He added a

second finger, then dove back onto her clit. Kegar worried the flesh with his teeth as he

slowly stroked in and out of her fragrant entrance. Her body gripped him, pulling his

fingers deeper inside. It was Kegar’s turn to groan. He couldn’t get close enough.

Nibbling and sucking, he devoured her until he felt the first flutters against his

fingertips. He rotated his wrist and curled two fingers up until he could stroke the spot

he’d read about in Orion’s report. The files covered languages, animal life, cultures,

currency and human behavior—particularly sex. Kegar’s commander had been quite

detailed when it came to the anatomy of Earth women and for that he was truly grateful.

Katy screamed as her orgasm slammed her body. She collapsed like a rag doll onto

the bed, her skin drenched in a fine sheen of sweat. Her breathing sounded ragged in the

relative quiet of her bedroom, matching the uneven pounding of her heart. Kegar

remained between her legs, lapping up her juices and growling deep in his chest. The

one hand he held her with had left scratches down her outer thigh. She hadn’t even felt

it. With one final swipe of his tongue, he rose, his cock looking hard enough to qualify

as a pike.

She gulped as he slowly worked his way up her body. His gaze strayed to her

nipples. They beaded in reaction. He lowered his head until he could suck one into his

mouth. Katy felt the pull of his lips all the way to her pussy. Kegar continued to nibble

and flick as he cupped her other breast with his large calloused hand, pinching and

twisting her nipple in a dance of pleasure and pain that left her achingly taut.

She’d never been into pain of any kind, but for some reason Kegar’s lovemaking left

her breathless. And it was lovemaking, Katy had no doubt as his red eyes met her gaze.

“Your eyes, they’re changing.”

It’s nothing
, he said, his expression growing stern.

Katy knew that wasn’t true. The color held some significance. She stared deep. The

emotions swirling in his crimson depths shook her to the core. She didn’t want to think

about what it all meant. There’d be time enough for that later. For now, she would focus

on the pleasure he brought her. Katy reached up and grabbed his head. The dark hair

beneath her fingertips slid like silk over her palms. She burrowed her hands, relishing

the feathery sensation.

Something that sounded suspiciously like a purr rumbled from Kegar’s chest. He

released her nipple with a pop and then looked into her face.
Once we join essences there is

no going back. Do you understand?

His cock slipped down to her entrance, its blazing crown searing her skin, turning

her molten beneath him. All logical thought left her head.

Katy?

“Yes, yes, Kegar, whatever you say. I understand.” She didn’t, but if saying she

understood would get him to put that big cock inside her, Katy decided she’d agree to

anything. They could sort it out in the aftermath.

An expression of triumph softened Kegar’s warrior-like features. He smiled as Katy

bucked her hips in encouragement.

You are mine.

The words slipped into her mind the second he thrust forward. Katy gasped, as her

body attempted to accommodate his sudden invasion. Kegar was huge and it felt as if

he was growing larger with each breath she took. He brushed the wet hair away from her

face, pushing the strands gently behind her ear.

Relax, huntress. You can take all of me.

“What do you mean
all of you
?” There couldn’t possibly be more.

He laughed and rolled his hips, slipping a couple inches deeper.
There’s more.
He

couldn’t keep the arrogant male pride from entering his voice.

Katy refused to admit that he had every reason to gloat.

Kegar gritted his teeth as he pressed inside her. She was so unbelievably tight that it

took the last shreds of his control not to lose himself on the entry. He kissed the side of

her face, his lips feathering over her brow and down her nose, before finding her mouth.

Honey and light poured inside him as he thrust forward until his cock nudged her

womb, then thrust a little further still. She moaned, opening just wide enough for him to
