‘You do. I’m so mad at you.’
‘I know,’ he murmured. ‘K’hanys. Forgive me.’
She glared at him, staring dead ahead, jaw clenching against her profile.
‘I’ve angered you, and that cuts me, woman,’ he continued. ‘Because believe it or not, you matter so much to me,’ he rasped, looming over her.
Her heart lurched.
She took a ragged sigh and met his heated gaze. ‘You mean a lot to me too, Killen. But if you keep standing in my way, I’ll have to blade you.’
They stared at each other for a long moment.
The essence between them shifted, and the atmosphere crackled with wild electricity.
His eyes dipped with desire, and Sana’a jolted right to her clit.
‘I’m before you now. What will you do about it?’
In the Kíríga’s shrouded bedchamber high up in the kíota, Killen twisted above Sana’a, hips thrusting into her as they lost themselves in a frantic, driven mating.
Their bodies intertwined, their movements frantic and desperate, a tangle of limbs and sweat-drenched skin.
The aura was heady and potent as their lips met in urgent, bittersweet kisses.
Pressed tight, fingers digging into flesh, tongues tangling.
Soft moans and gasps filled the room as their limbs moved in unison, straining against the other in a frenzied and raw yearning.
One born from the deepest wells of sadness, an attempt to fill the void with something – anything – but the sentiment of loss.
When Sana’a came, it was with such melancholy passion tears ran down her cheek.
As she rode the wave, an unfamiliar pressure exerted on her forehead, through her cognition and anchored itself above her mind.
In the heat of her wild orgasm, however, she forgot it.
When finally sated, the pair lay entwined, staring at the undulating skies through the glass roof, lost in thought, their bodies and souls shattered from their ordeal.
Killen turned and pushed his face into Sana’a’s nape.
She, in turn, stroked his mane, her heart churning.
Self-recrimination tormented her as her soul urged her towards a decision she was going to hate herself for.
That he was going to despise her for.
With a sad smile, she made up her mind, pressed her lips into his temple and sat up, twisting to face Killen. ‘Did you just make love to me to get my thoughts off Kalila?’
He reached a hand to brush her hair out of her eyes. ‘Maybe, khany’s.’
She gave him a slight shake of the head. ‘You’ve no idea, do you? Of how much ending her means to me? Or the measure of relief it’ll give me, my family and the entire Shotelai across Pegasi?’
Killen’s face exhaled. ‘My love, I -’
‘Listen to me, Killen,’ Sana’a interjected, keeping her voice as soft as she could manage. ‘Blading her is the key to solving all our problems.’
He sighed. ‘All your problems, Sana’a, but none of mine. While I get how significant the oath is to you, I’m just asking we wait a little. Then you can pull apart her bird bones as you please.’
