Phantom Warriors: Saber-Tooth (7 page)

It is indeed the deck of a ship.
Kegar swung the command chair around, his large body

looking at home with one leg draped over the arm.

“Why didn’t you tell me you could talk?”

His lips twitched.
What fun would that have been?
he asked, slipping back into his

preferred method of communication.

Katy glared, but it was nearly impossible to stop the smile from reaching her face.

Sure, part of her was freaking out, but the other half was grateful that Kegar had been

telling the truth. “Are we really on our way to another planet?”

Yes, we’re on course to Zaron.

“How soon will we get there?” she asked, feigning an innocence she did not feel.

It will take five of your Earth days. Why?
Suspicion and something else flashed in his

red eyes.

She shrugged casually. “Just curious.”

Kegar rose with a cat-like grace and cocked his head.

Katy started backing away slowly to what she hoped was the rest quarters. She

planned to take full advantage of this long flight, starting now. “Here kitty, kitty, kitty,”

she said, crooking her finger for him to follow.

Kegar didn’t disappoint her.

Epilogue

Planet Zaron Eight Months Later

Life on Zaron wasn’t much different than Earth
, Katy thought as she crouched over the

paw print of a rogue Phantom warrior. She and Kegar had been tracking him for four

days and this sign was the only indication that they were finally getting close.

She glanced over at her mate, staring at his long black hair as a cool breeze lifted it

away from his handsome face. Even now, Katy could feel her body readying itself for his

invasion.

What’s on your mind, mate
? Kegar asked, tilting his head to look at her.

Katy widened her eyes and put on her most innocent expression. “Nothing, why do

you ask?”

Kegar licked his lips and inhaled deeply.
Because your rich cream wafts on the air,

distracting me from our mission.

Katy put her hands on her hips. “I am not a distraction. If you recall, I’m the one who

found the print.”

This is true
, he conceded, pride filling his voice.
But you are nonetheless a distraction.

She opened her mouth to protest.

Kegar held up his hand to still her words.
You are the best kind of distraction
, he said,

peeling his tracker uniform off his body.

Katy gulped and took a step back. She doubted she’d ever tire of seeing this man

naked. Kegar was magnificent inside and out. And he was all hers. “I don’t think there’s

time for that right now.” She nodded toward the fresh print.

Kegar grinned.
There’s always time for us to join.
He slipped her red uniform off her

shoulders, pulling it down, while raining kisses in its wake.

Katy’s nipples engorged as his teeth scraped the sensitive flesh. “Kegar,” she

gasped, clutching his head to her body.

He sucked her deep, nibbling and laving until Katy thought she might go mad. Her

clit throbbed in anticipation.

Kegar removed the rest of her clothes, then lifted her into the air.
Wrap your legs

around my waist.

Katy did as he instructed. Kegar entered her a second later.
I swear I could drown in

your feminine juices and die a happy warrior
.

“I love you too,” Katy said, kissing him tenderly as he drove them both to

completion.

Kegar gave Katy one last kiss, then they dressed quickly and continued their

pursuit. The warrior wouldn’t escape.

We are close
, Kegar said, shifting into his cat form.

“I am never going to get used to this,” Katy said, staring at him.

Yes, you will. Now come on before we lose him.

Katy’s body began to tingle, then gradually disappeared to be replaced by a female

saber-tooth with strawberry blonde fur. Kegar nudged her with his massive head and

she swatted him with her paw. He growled playfully, then they took off toward the

horizon, tracking their elusive prey.

About the Author

I’d like to say I’m the life of the party, a laugh-a-minute kind of gal, and

outrageously cool, BUT that would be a slight fabrication.

I’m actually a thirty-something, ex-flight attendant with a penchant for huge

bookstores and big dumb action movies. I prefer quiet dinners with friends over

maddening crowds. Happily married to my very own Highlander, we split our time

between two continents.

In my spare time...LOL...I’m kidding, I don't have any spare time. The hours of my

day are spent writing, and when I’m not doing that I’m thinking about writing. I guess

you could say I have a one-track mind.
