CHAPTER 20:
Kaen'Dre's Happy Day
"Thought you'd sneak off again, eh?" Aziza called.
Kiara turned in surprise and gave an innocent grin. She'd just returned from one of the doctor's in town to get some herbs in case anything went wrong with her plans today. Just thinking about it made her stomach feel all warm and fuzzy. But she focused on Aziza.
"What are you doing up so early?" Kiara asked, crossing her arms. "You're not sneaking in any morsels before breakfast, are you?"
"Well I never!" Aziza said, raising her chin. "Maybe a scrap or two. Besides, why are you acting so discreet?"
"No reason, just trying to keep to myself" Kiara said, smiling. "When is breakfast?"
"In about ten minutes, so are you- Wait!" Aziza said, quickly. "Where are you going?"
Aziza had turned slightly to see Kiara trying to make an escape. Kiara laughed guiltily and stood straight again. What was going on with her friend? She was secretive lately and she'd never been like that since they've been friends. Kiara just wanted to be with Kaen'Dre and away from everybody.
He's right, we're never alone, she thought.
"All right, what is it?" Aziza sighed. "You can't keep hiding from us acting like it's nothing."
"There is nothing happening, Azi" Kiara said, shaking her head. "And if there was, I'd tell you."
"All right, look, you don't have to tell me" Aziza said, raising a hand. "I just need to know if it's a good or bad thing? I am your best friend and I just want to be sure you're all right."
Kiara didn't like lying to her friends, much less her best friend. So, there was only one thing her conscience told her to say.
"It's a good thing so not a word, understood?" Kiara said, quickly.
"Cross my heart and hope to burn in the underworld" Aziza said, lowering her head.
"All right, now go and I will be down shortly" Kiara said, waving a hand in dismissal.
"Remember that we have to be fitted this evening for our gown for tomorrow's celebration" Aziza reminded. "I want mine blue, what about you?"
"I completely forgot!" Kiara said, placing a hand over her forehead. "I've been so busy with- I still forgot."
There would be a celebration taking place tomorrow in honor of the sun god, Ra. It was done a day each year to honor him. She remembered her family talking about it but she forgot. Her whole mind had been on Kaen'Dre, how could she be so mindless? Every time she was with him, she forgot everything completely. How could one man do that to her?
"You're fortunate I reminded you so you can go" Aziza said, shooing her. "But remember to at least have one color in mind."
Kiara nodded and jogged down the sunlit hallway. Turning to the right at the end of the hallway, she went up the stony stairs. Going up to the second level, she turned to the left after she finished. Entering her room and locking it tightly, she took off her sandals and walked to her bed. She got on it and rested on top of the covers to relax. Asim rumbled his chest and pawed her foot in which she leaned down to pat his head to make him sleep better.
She had told Kaen'Dre to sleep while she went out. He was a bit nervous to do so since only Asim and him would be left so he'd either be mauled or discovered. Luckily, none did. Kiara glanced at him while he slept on his side as usual. Her eyes trailed to his muscled arms and chest which made her restrain herself to not pull off the covers and take him.
I'll have you today, handsome, she thought. I may be nervous but my love for you is stronger.
Feeling her movement in the bed, Kaen'Dre instinctively opened his eyes immediately. Wiping his groggy eyes and yawning into his pillow, he looked at her closer. She was dressed up already with her usual white/crimson robes and gold headdress. He rumbled his chest making her smile instantly.
"How was your sleep?" Kiara asked, smiling.
"Great as always, how was your trip?" Kaen'Dre asked, cuddling into his pillow.
"Good, but we'll be making a trip of our own today" she said, cheerfully.
"Where?" he asked, excitedly. Hearing that wiped out most of his sleepiness.
"We are going to the farthest place in the jungle that contains a bigger waterfall and pool" she said, grabbing one of his dreads. "Interested?"
She always finds the most awing places, he thought.
"Very much so" Kaen'Dre said, purring. "You understand me well which I love. I also love you."
"I love you too" Kiara said, blushing. "Go back to sleep."
"You're sure you are not part of a dream, princess?" he asked, smiling.
Kiara went to his side and cuddled up against him. Placing an arm around his side, she held him close. He nuzzled her face with his and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"No, because then our happy moments would fade into the wind" she said, kissing one of his lower tusks. "And I don't plan on that until you have to leave."
"Are you sure I cannot be with you now?" he said, biting her ear softly.
"Not unless you want your chance to be ruined" Kiara teased.
She's good at keeping me at bay, he thought. Such an alluring female.
"Then I will comply to my partner's wish" Kaen'Dre grinned. "Do you plan to stay here or go out?"
"I have to eat, then I'll come back and bring you something" she said, placing a finger on her chin. "Then you and I will head on our hike and then return by evening."
"Why evening?" he asked, cocking his head. She smiled.
"Curious like me, aren't you?" Kiara said, tracing her index finger up his chest to his chin. "But I have an appointment to keep and I cannot be late."
"Why don't you keep an appointment with me then, dear?" he asked, holding her close. How he wished to have her in the bed intimately or not. Frankly, every time he saw her, he wanted her.
"Because I'll have our schedule wrecked, handsome" Kiara giggled and kissed his neck gingerly.
"We have a long day planned" Kaen'Dre said, drooping his mandibles. She grinned. "What?"
"You make the cutest expressions" she said, easily.
"You should go downstairs before I decide to keep you up here" he said, playing with strands of her hair curiously.
She nodded and kissed his cheek. Tracing a finger over one of his mandibles, she got out of his arms and off the bed. Stretching her arms, she put on her sandals again and headed out.
"I love you" she called before opening the door.
"You think I don't? I love you more than you do" Kaen'Dre chuckled from inside the bed.
"Don't start a challenge of how 'who loves who more', I will see you soon" Kiara said, walking out the door.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"How is it that a place so arid has places like these?" Kaen'Dre asked, leaning against the rocky ledge.
"Well, when it rains the earth collects rainwater and sometimes it can form from that over time" Kiara said, looking into the sky. "Or life just finds a way to survive in the harshest environments."
"Very profound" he said, smiling.
They were at the spot Kiara had told him they were heading to. Kaen'Dre had been easily happy that he almost went into the water with his clothes on. The water was white with the force from the waterfall when it came down, but in the pool the water was a deep blue. There was shade on the left side of the pool only, the rest was around the edges of the rocks. The sun warmed their bare skin while they swam in the cool water. Kaen'Dre liked this water better since the sun warmed it more than the other one. His skin contained no fat so he didn't have much insulation against the cold, unlike Kiara.
"Thank you" she said, gratefully. "I love being intellectual."
"Stay that way, I've finally found somebody who understands what I'm trying to say" Kaen'Dre grinned.
"What about your comrades?" Kiara asked, looking at him.
"One only thinks of comedy and food, the other of fighting and weapons" he said, laughing. "I'm the only one that's ever been into books and exploring."
"Well, I love men like that" she said, sighing. "Exploring uncharted lands and having adventures. Yes, it can be hazardous if you're not careful, but I think it is worth it."
How is it that she knows what I like?, he thought. Besides hunting that is, I know she hates that.
"That is why you are the perfect person for me, Kiara" Kaen'Dre said, looking at her. She blushed. "Am I?"
"If I say so, will you stay here with me?" she asked, gently. She wanted him to so much, she'd even beg the gods to allow him to.
"I cannot, no matter how hard I try" he said, sighing. "My brethren would not look kindly upon it."
"Ani'Twei has parents like that" Kiara pointed out. "Why can we not be together?"
"There were many problems even with them, I do not want you to be harmed in any matter" Kaen'Dre said, firmly.
"But they are our gods, why can they not want us happy?" she demanded. "I do not understand this."
She backed away from the edge she lay against and back to swim. Why was it so hard to be with him? Why was everyone against it so far? Shouldn't the gods be happy or blessed to have one of their own in a civilization to help it flourish? Kaen'Dre swam over to her and grabbed her into his arms. She struggled a bit in annoyance but gave into his hold. Resting her head against his chest, she sighed.
"There are many things in the world that some do not understand themselves" he said, patting her head. "Just forget about that and relax while we are here."
"You are right, this is about us, not them" Kiara said, feeling better. Then warily, "As long as they are not looking down at us at this moment."
"No, if so, I would know" Kaen'Dre said, arrogantly. "So come."
He let her go and went underwater to swim. Kiara just made an amused face towards him despite he wasn't there. How he could swim so gracefully compared to her made her envious in a playful manner.
How can he be perfect at everything?, she thought. He is blessed to.
He surfaced after a bit but behind her. His warm arms wrapped around her waist in which she leaned back onto him. She reached her hand back to touch his cheek affectionately.
"So, any other exciting places here that you know of?" he asked, tracing his fingers up her side. She giggled from his claws tickling her side.
"Stop that!" she laughed and squirmed in his grip. He kept doing it and laughed. "Kaen'Dre!"
She jabbed him in the stomach so he let go. Growling quickly, he turned her around and brought her against him. He growled playfully while she grinned and ran her hands down his chest. He purred at her touch wanting her to continue it.
My, does he have a great body or what?, she thought. She always loved running her hands down his toned chest.
She placed a hand behind his neck and brought him down. Placing her lips over his mouth, he parted it and kissed her deeply. She felt her heart beat faster at feeling his tongue travel around inside her mouth. Kissing him back in the same manner, he rumbled his chest. She giggled at feeling his small vibrations against her own. Letting go, she grabbed his hand into hers. He squeezed it affectionately immediately.
"I love you" Kiara said, nudging her nose into his neck.
"I love you more than anything" he said, purring. "And I plan to keep it that way."
He'd never had anyone to love in his life or had it. His mother showered him with hugs and care when he was small but when she passed away, he was left unloved. His father put him into studying and never shared any type of affection, only for Kaen'Dre to make him proud. His grandmother was the closest thing after his mother that gave him love. She supported him in everything he wanted to do and was proud of him no matter what. But then she passed away and he was left alone again to tend to himself afterwards. He missed them and ever since that and before, no one really cared about him except his friends. They were the only ones he called family since no one had ever cared to befriend him or be at his side. But then Kiara appeared before him again, and he couldn't help and still can't help falling in love with her. She kept telling him how much he meant to her and he was grateful for it. After many years, he finally had someone's love to himself. If he could've grown up on Earth, he could've had her love when they were younger but he had belonged to his homeworld.
"Then come with me" she said, tugging him to shore. "I plan to keep it that way also."
"Where are we going?" he asked, curiously. She always did take him to interesting places.
"To the shore and there under the sun. . ." Kiara said, smiling. "You and I will make love."
"Now? Here?" Kaen'Dre asked, instantly. His whole body and mind came to a stop.
This is a surprise, he thought instantly. But on the other hand . . .
"Here and now, unless you have a better spot and time" Kiara said, easily. "I doubt we shall have any time to be alone in the palace."
"Very true" he said, nodding. "Well then, let us experience something we should have days ago."
"More like a week ago" Kiara smiled, while swimming to shore.
"You've desired me for that long a time?" Kaen'Dre grinned.
"That information belongs to me" she teased while squeezing his arm. "But as I remember, the day we went to the waterfall, you were very close to me in my bed."
He remembered well. It had been the evening after she took him to the waterfall. She'd been so willing to his touches that he would've mated with her instantly if they hadn't gotten interrupted by her friends. That was one day he'd never forgotten.
"I remember" Kaen'Dre said, nodding. "You looked so pure and beautiful in my arms that I wanted you, Kiara, and I will admit it. But you also followed my advances."
She got out of the water and laid down on the warm rocky floor. It was slated smoothly like a normal floor almost which she thought was perfect. Squeezing the water out of her hair, she looked over at her beloved. He shook his dreads in one hand to take out the water in them and then laid down next to her. Wrapping an arm around her, he rested his face against her neck.
"You mean so much to me" Kiara said, softly. He purred in return.
"And I love you deeply for it" he said, nuzzling her neck.
She placed her head next to his and traced her hand over his arm. Turning to her side, she pressed her body against his and sighed. The sun warmed and dried their skin easily while they rested against each other. Lying down and relaxing made Kiara sleepy but she made herself snap out of it. Getting out of Kaen'Dre's arms, she sat up and stretched her upper body. He stared at her while she did that while his eyes traveled over her revealing body.
We will mate today if it's the last thing I do, he thought.
He trailed a claw down her spine making her shiver. She turned to look at him and hit him playfully in the chest. He hissed and grabbed her down onto the ground carefully. She struggled in his grip but she knew there was no chance at all to beat him, part of her knew that but she wanted to see his amusement. Getting on top of her, he leaned down and kissed her. His weight was slightly bothersome compared to her smaller form but she didn't care, besides he usually made sure not to harm her with his weight. She traced her hands down his chest and caressed his sides, abdomen, and chest.
Kaen'Dre easily rumbled his chest from its arousing touch and traced a hand over her cheek and to her breast. Caressing it softly, she pressed her chest against his instantly. She broke off their kiss and kissed his neck and shoulders firmly. It was the first time she'd actually felt his skin against her lips since he always had his mesh outfit on and it was impossible to undo on someone's own. Now, she had his unclothed body, except his loincloth, on top of hers. She kissed his wet muscled body firmly with her lips and softly with her tongue over his torso. He rumbled his chest deeply making her smile.
At least I am pleasing him so far, she thought.
His mandibles and teeth nibbled on her soft neck while he reached behind her to unstrap her first undergarment. He yanked at it but it didn't come undone which made him growl in annoyance. Why couldn't these oomans were lesser garments like his people! All he wanted to do was mate with her, was that too much to ask? While in his mental turmoil, Kiara placed her hands behind her back and undid it to make him less annoyed. She knew how he disliked the layers of clothing she wore so she might as well have eased an obstacle for him.
"Better?" she teased, pressing her bare chest against his.
"Yes, you have no idea how much" he said, pleased.
She leaned up and kissed him softly. Usually, he liked kissing her deeply but when she wanted her way, he obeyed. Tracing her nails down his back softly, he moaned when she reached a spot at the end of his back. Kaen'Dre always had a sensitive spot on that region ever since he was small and now that Kiara caressed him there, his whole body shivered involuntarily. He arched his back and pressed his body against hers closely from below the waist that she had to part her legs and have his body between them. She traced her fingertips over his delicate spot making him gasp.
Oh dear, she thought. Very close indeed.
"Don't Kiara" he moaned.
"Am I pleasing you or hurting you?" Kiara asked in return.
"You can please me with that touch later on while we're really 'together'" Kaen'Dre asked, nuzzling her neck. "But since you did that, I can do something to make you moan."
"Kaen'Dre" she warned while he moved downwards.
His mouth went over one of her breasts and he nibbled on it with his teeth, then licked it with his tongue. Caressing the other with his hand firmly, her back arched to him in the same manner his had. She moaned loudly when feeling his teeth and fingers squeeze her aroused nipples. He loved being on top of her so closely and knowing they would mate somehow excited him uncontrollably. Hearing her moan under his caresses added more to his arousing. Her legs wrapped around his waist closely but he took one off at his sudden thought.
Kwei'De's experience of ooman females better come in handy or I'll destroy him, he thought.
While still caressing her breasts, he placed his knee next to the lowered leg to keep it there. He placed his hand between her thighs over her loincloth and caressed her most sensitive area with his fingers. Kiara's body felt alive instantly at the new sensation and held his body closer to hers. She was experiencing many new things with him and she hoped they'd never stop. He was the man she loved and the one she belonged to, no one would ever enter her heart but him. She placed her hand over his cheek and motioned for him to come back up. He did as always, he would grant her every desire, and opened his mouth as her mouth met eagerly over his. She kissed him deeply this time while he easily followed her force.
"Are you sure you've never done this?" Kiara gasped.
"Yes, but a god can learn many things" Kaen'Dre said, proudly. "You will always be the one to share my first and hopefully last intimate relation."
"I hope so too" she said, kissing him again.
He wanted to rip off her last undergarment but she pushed him over underneath her with all her strength. Kaen'Dre was caught off guard immediately at her strength to put him under her dominance. He didn't mind it one bit but it made him wonder if she'd get like this every time she was aroused and ready to mate. Her lips trailed over his chest softly and traveled down to his toned abdomen making his stomach warm on the inside. She had never placed her lips over his skin and it made his skin lively at her kisses. Her fingers trailed down his slimmed sides and caressed his torso while her lips worked his body at the same time. His body felt fiery with every kiss that she planted on his skin and her tongue drove his mind insane. He was loving every moment of this new experience and she was too.
Kiara traced her fingers over the inside of his thighs teasingly making him moan and quiver under her touch. Playfully, she tugged the side of his loincloth down and then trailed her hands down his outer thigh. She knew he liked a good chase to get something done and she'd play it that way. Besides, she was about to lose her virginity, she could have as much fun as possible. He bent one of his legs from his growing arousement in which she ran her hand under his thigh teasingly. She traced her tongue over his inner thigh again and stopped where his loincloth ended. She traced her lips and tongue over his other thigh making him roar out quickly from her arousing touches. Her touches were so close to his growing erection, he thought she'd place her hand over it with her teasing.
"Kiara!" he moaned while arching his back under her touch.
"A hunter likes to toy with his prey, I can do the same and so can you" Kiara said, seductively.
This woman is driving me wild and we have not even mated yet!, his mind exclaimed.
He sat up while his mind still swam in her seductive touches. She looked up at him innocently making his blood electrify at her pose while she kneeled on all fours half-nude between his legs. Grabbing her into his arms, he ran his mandibles over her neck and cupped one of her breasts tightly. She gasped under his firm touches and ran her hands behind his neck into his hair. While he kept her on his lap, he placed both hands over her breasts and ran his tongue over her throat. She leaned her head back and untied his hair with her hands from behind. She loved feeling his dreads brush her skin in any matter.
"Seems the prey's been caught" Kaen'Dre declared triumphantly.
"Well then, claim your prize" Kiara said, kissing his the start of his neck. "I am all yours, Kaen'Dre."
I had no idea how desirable she could be when she acts as if this were a hunting game of conquering, he thought desirably.
She drove herself into his arms and he placed her softly on the ground on her back. Placing himself on top of her again, he traced his hand down her torso softly. She gasped softly while he did, feeling his strong hands go over her delicate body. He placed his hand between her legs and noticed her heat which was strong, and took off her undergarment quickly.
"I want you so badly, Kiara" Kaen'Dre said, softly. "I want to be your first in everything."
"Then let it come to pass" Kiara said, bringing her face next to his. She loved feeling his warm breath against her cheek. "Come inside of me and show me how much you care, love, and yearn for me because I know I want you with every breath I take."
Now, she totally bare under his body and it excited him instantly, especially after what she said. As a male, he'd love to be able to touch the female of his choice in any way. As a mate, he'd love and please her to no end to show how much he cared. Tracing his hand between her legs, he caressed his fingers over her moist middle and slipped a finger inside the start of her very moist opening. Kiara tensed up at the start at feeling his thick finger slide inside of her. His new technique at arousing her was working very well in such quick a time. She gasped in short breaths under his hold and trembled softly while her hips moved at the rhythm of his movements. He didn't place his finger too deep because he knew he'd hurt her with his sharp claws internally and besides the fact she was a pure female. But he kept his movements strong, making her cry out loudly in passion.
"Kaen'Dre" Kiara moaned softly. He nuzzled her neck with his mandibles. "I love you."
"I love you too, Kiara" Kaen'Dre said, softly.
Slipping his finger out of her, he faced her again. Her face was covered in a sheer of pleasure that was never experienced, and his was too. He was touching her in every way possible and he didn't want to stop. She grabbed his hand and placed it over her breast while she kissed his neck firmly. Caressing her breasts with both hands, he nuzzled her shoulders while she did the same to his neck. Kaen'Dre felt her feet trace over his legs teasingly which made him groan. He wanted her now. Placing a hand between her thighs, he felt her more than ready for him.
"Ready for me to show how much I love you?" Kaen'Dre asked, smiling.
Finally, after such long a time, I will mate with you, he thought happily.
"Always have been" Kiara blushed. Then confidently, "We shall see how great of a hunter you are, Kaen'Dre."
"I assure you I am great" Kaen'Dre purred, following her tone. "Great enough that my name will escape your lips in a cry like never before."
"I really like this side of you, so seductive" Kiara said, kissing his cheek.
"I can say the same of you" he clicked in return. Then remembering a thought, "Did you take any contraceptives, Kiara? If you do not want my child somehow, take it."
"I took some already, besides I do not care if I carry your child after this" Kiara said, smiling. "I'd be proud if I did."
If she carried his child after this it wouldn't matter, she loved Kaen'Dre and she'd rather have him be the father of her firstborn or all of her children. But she'd already taken the herbs before going to swim and they lasted about 3 hours so there wouldn't be a chance for a pregnancy.
"Then you shouldn't have" Kaen'Dre said, biting her nose softly. "We will have another chance, love."
Unclasping his loincloth, he threw it aside next to her swimsuit and kissed Kiara. She kissed him back and traced her hand down his chest softly. Nudging her legs apart, with his knee, she complied easily. He could smell and feel her heat against his easily when he rested between her legs in that manner. She bent her legs while he placed his arms around her hips. Kiara looked down and saw his full erection making her mouth open slightly. He was very gifted with his manhood, she wondered if they'd be able to make love correctly because of his massive size. Oh, it was going to hurt but it'd be pleasurable as well, she hoped.
He is taller than any mortal, did you think he'd be average in that area?, she questioned herself. His body is so well-sculpted unlike anyone's, my how I love his body right now.
After a bit, he inserted himself softly inside of her while her muscles tightened around him as he entered. Kaen'Dre had never been with anyone, just like her, and he knew it was going to hurt her. Her body was designed to fit and mate with a ooman male not a yautja male, but she was strong, she'd take his size inside her. Making it easier, he took his time slowly to not injure her internally more than she needed to be. She took his size bit by bit with her internal muscles while wrapping her legs around his waist to lessen the pressure. It hurt her but she was with him in the way she wanted to and that's what mattered. But his slow entering was something she didn't want.
"You're nervous, aren't you?" Kiara gasped, while brushing her hair back. He nodded softly. "I can take any type of pain, don't be afraid."
"But your form is small compared to-" Kaen'Dre started.
"I will be fine, we will be together nonetheless" Kiara said, sighed. "So why delay the inevitable?"
He nodded and cradled her body in his arms. In one thrust, he drove himself fully inside of her. She cried out when he did tear her hymen in the process and he held his position there without moving. She had tightened around him so tightly with her muscles from her tension of the sudden pain. He hated hurting her, even in this state, but as her mate he'd make it better. Mate. He hadn't even asked her yet, but he would afterwards. Pushing himself softly against her bit by bit, she rocked her hips against his and turned her soft whimpers into sighs of passion again. She absorbed his enormous size as he pushed himself deeper into her. He smelled her arousal growing steadily against his while he thrust faster inside her. She wrapped her arms around his neck while he pushed into her and heard her loud moans of passion soon after.
"Kaen'Dre!" she moaned in desire.
"Kiara" he gasped back.
He heard his name while they made love and it pleased him, he wanted to hear his name come out of her mouth in that manner for such a time. Kiara felt him push in and out of her so deeply, it made her body feel as if it were engulfed in fire. It hurt slightly even now because of his size but she took him on with all her strength and she would every time they did make love again. Her body grew sweaty against his while she dug her fingers into his back from their lovemaking. She moaned pleasurably under him while he traced a mandible down her cheek. While he growled and moaned in his passion, she kissed his flushed face firmly. She traced her arms around his sides and back while she rocked her hips at his movements.
"You feel so great" Kiara moaned out loud.
"You feel the same, beautiful" Kaen'Dre said, gasping.
After a bit, he felt her muscles started contracting against him which meant she was reaching her climax. He pushed himself faster into her while growling in his own way while he reached his own. Feeling his force, her body felt hotter immediately while her muscles tightened more against his strength. She cried out when she reached her climax while holding him close from insider her body and outside. Roaring loudly when she tensed up immediately, Kaen'Dre lost control and shot his seed deep inside her in his climax. Luckily for them they were miles away from the kingdom for anyone to overhear.
"That felt extraordinary" Kiara sighed softly afterwards. "So much emotions with just one movement and two people."
"I've wanted you like this for so long" he breathed into her wet hair.
Gasping shortly against each other, he pulled out of her carefully. Pulling him back into her arms, she breathed heavily into his chest. He was in her arms in this manner after wanting it for so long. Kiara's legs trembled slightly from Kaen'Dre's strength while from the inside she felt sore, but it'd go away. Her body was lowering in heat which made her glad after having her body feel as if it had been on actual fire. Kaen'Dre breathed deeply while wearing a smile on his face for finally being with the person he loved more than anything. Holding her closely, Kaen'Dre laid on his side while she faced him. She smiled and rested her forehead against his chin. Feeling his strength and warmth made her comfortable next to his bare body. Brushing her hair with his hand, he trailed a mandible down her temple softly.
"I love you, Kaen'Dre" Kiara whispered. He smiled. "I'm so glad I met you that day at the waterfall. I can't imagine anyone else being the person I love but you."
"You are the most beautiful being I could have ever asked to have" Kaen'Dre said, softly. "You know I've loved you since the moment you took me to your home."
Smiling into his warm neck, Kiara fell asleep quickly. Her energy had been drained so quickly, even she was surprised, but she guessed that was the price after lovemaking. Kaen'Dre brushed her hair with his fingers and held her closely.
"Sleep soundly, my lifemate" he whispered and fell asleep.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I want it in white only, nothing else" Kiara said, simply. "I don't want anything extravagant."
"You are the princess" Aziza smiled.
"But not one that has to have the fanciest wardrobe in the kingdom" she said, sighing.
They had been looking at cloths and getting measured for the festival since she came back. Kiara didn't care much but she'd do it for her family and kingdom. The celebration would be from the afternoon till midnight. She would've rather stayed in the palace with Kaen'Dre alone but she couldn't. Even thinking about what happened at the waterfall today still made her skin get goosebumps. Oh, how she enjoyed being with him in that way.
"So, you are choosing the white?" Aziza asked, raising a brow. They had both worn casual brown robes to the fitting.
"Yes, you?" Kiara asked, dropping the cloth she held onto the table.
"Blue, like I said" Aziza said, nodding. "Atem? Set?"
They had been measuring also for their robes. Set had been second in charge for the festival since he still wasn't in the pharaoh's court. Only when he was in Atem's, he could be the kingdom's High Priest and oversee the festivities. He wanted to ask Kiara to the festival since she didn't seem to have a partner so far.
"I'm going in crimson and gold" Atem said, walking over to them with his white robes.
"You always wear crimson somehow" Kiara complained. "Why choose that?"
"I like the color" Atem defended. "And it also seems to illuminate my mesmerizing eyes, don't you think?"
He laughed while Kiara punched his arm playfully. How he loved to bother his sister playfully ever since they were toddlers. Aziza and Set just sighed at their sibling quarrel.
"What about you, Set?" Kiara asked, smiling.
"White and gold" he said, simply. "Every other color seems to be taken."
"What about black?" Aziza grinned.
"I am not an angel of death, you wench!" Set retorted. "Unlike you."
She growled and grabbed Set into a headlock despite her smaller size. Kiara shook her head, they fought worse than her and Atem. Set pulled her up from behind with his strength while she winced. She hated anything related to heights, even at an inch of free air between her and the ground. She let go of him while he shoved her forward to keep an eye on her.
"I think we are done here" Atem said to the whole chamber. "We will come early in the morning to try on our gowns and robes, and then we will see you in the festivities."
"Good night and thank you for your courtesy" Kiara added on.
The seamstresses in their white linen robes bowed and the group all exited out of the chamber. The sky had grown dark already and the cool desert air was settling in. Kiara loved these times out of all.
"I have to go look over the entertainment" Aziza said, quickly. She looked at them, "As much as I love you all, I got to go. Have fun and don't break anything before the celebration!"
She ran like the wind down the stairs onto their left to the lowest chamber of the palace.
"If anyone does, it'll be her" Set grinned. Kiara nudged him. "What?"
"And I have to help father with the prayers" Atem said, stretching.
"Do I have to do anything?" Kiara asked, feeling left out. Had she really gotten so out of touch because of her attachment to Kaen'Dre?
"You can sit on your bed and count the stars" Atem said patting Kiara's head as if she were a child.
"Very funny, I should throw you out of a window" Kiara said, smacking his hand off. Atem and Set laughed while she growled.
"You can sing a song or something tomorrow, you do have a good voice" Atem said, placing a finger on his chin. "Practice something."
"I will have to think of something quick by tomorrow" Kiara said, trying to think of something.
"I could help you" Set suggested.
"You will not, you have to make sure your checklist if double-checked" Atem said, pointing a finger at him. "The celebration has to go as planned. I know you, Set."
Set rolled his eyes but nodded. Atem was his best friend but he was also his prince and he had to obey. He'd told Atem in his interest in Kiara, but Atem hadn't guaranteed that she'd return his feelings. But he still had to at least try. Kiara just glanced at them as if they were insane. They grinned and waved innocently while she sighed.
"I wonder if I am the only one in Memphis with this problem" she sighed.
"I have to go, but Set can help out somehow" Atem said, waving a hand. "I will see you all tomorrow or while you wander the palace looking for me to feel special."
"We are not that lonely" Kiara said, rolling her eyes. "You are not special either."
Atem laughed and headed down the same stairway Aziza had. Kiara laughed and looked over at Set.
"So Great Leader, what can I sing?" Kiara smiled.
"Anything, as long as it doesn't deal with depression, death, or war" Set said, simply.
"You think I am insane enough to sing about that?" Kiara said, quickly. "I should backhand you!"
"You can sing anything, I just made that up!" Set laughed. She grinned. "You will do fine, you have a good voice like Atem said."
"What about . . . ." Kiara said, tilting her head in thought. "Love?"
Maybe a song about my feelings towards Kaen'Dre?, she thought.
"Love? That's an odd one for you" Set asked, raising a brow. "As to seeing you have no companion."
"I can be spoken for on my own!" Kiara said, crossing her arms. "I need no man to represent me, I am strong enough alone."
"I know but if you have no partner. . ." Set trailed off. It was now or never. "Would you consider going with me?"
Kiara raised her brows in surprise. She wanted to go alone to the festival with her friends, not on a date. Besides, the only special man in her life was Kaen'Dre and he would remain it. He made her world change every time she was with him and experienced new things every day with him. Set was her friend only and so far, that is all she saw him as. She could've taken Kaen'Dre to the celebration but someone could spot him somehow and panic could spread if anything went wrong.
"I am sorry, Set" Kiara said, laying her hand on his shoulder. "I would rather go with you as a friend than a date. I have no intention of pursuing anything other than our friendship, I hope you understand."
Well, at least she didn't yell, Set thought. Though I would've rather had her say yes to me.
"It is all right" Set nodded while trying to hide disappointment. "You are right, we are friends and we will have to remain it. I just want you to know I do care for you in my heart somehow and when you do want to pursue anything in the future, I'll be there. But for now, we will stay the good friends we are."
I had no idea he felt that strongly but my mind has been made up for a long time now, she thought.
"Trust me, if no one held my attention, you'd be the first in line to court me" Kiara said, smiling. "But I am afraid my heart belongs to somebody else."
"Is he going to accompany you?" Set asked, raising a brow.
"I do not know yet" she said, quietly. Then strongly, "But I am spoken for. I hope . . .to marry him one day."
Set was surprised her heart belonged to someone else's. He'd never seen her with any male that may have been a suitor for her. Her time was mostly spent in the kingdom since she rarely traveled now with all the conflicts with the rogues. He felt disappointed she belonged to someone else but he'd waited too long to ask her.
"Well, as a friend I wish you well" Set said, nodding. "As a suitor, I am disappointed."
"The heart chooses who and what they want" Kiara said, smiling. "Mines already has."

Kaen'Dre lay on Kiara's bed while waiting for her to return. He had been watching over her as usual while she'd gone to her fittings. She had chosen a cloth for his gown that he found beautiful for her frame, especially since it shimmered when she moved it. He didn't like the male that had asked to take Kiara to a feast of theirs and had almost growled out loud, but he contained himself. If Set tried to get close to her again, he would do something about it. She would be his mate and no other's. But she refused his invitation, making Kaen'Dre appeased that she would not take Set. Now, Kaen'Dre wanted to be her partner and explore around during the event.
Hearing Kiara come in and latch the door, he turned his head. Asim had been in the room and had lately given up on annoying Kaen'Dre, which he enjoyed. He jumped onto Kiara making her laugh and carry with weight. After licking her face, he purred and rested on the floor. She threw herself onto the bed and on Kaen'Dre.
"Hello handsome" she said, kissing the start of his neck.
"You're quite exquisite yourself" he purred and traced his hands down her back to cup her bottom softly.
"My, someone's got his energy back to go another round" Kiara giggled and sat up above his lap.
Despite making love for his first time was draining, he would've mated with her again just to feel close to her like they had been. Her womanhood just sat on top of his manhood now, giving him erotic thoughts and making him purr. She smiled and traced a finger over his chin.
"Unless you want me to make love to you, I suggest you get off, Kiara" he sighed and patted her behind. She trailed her fingers over his arm quickly. "No, Kiara."
"I know you love touching every inch of me just like I do" Kiara said, charmingly. She placed her hands over his on her bottom.
"Yes, but we will not make love until another day despite how irresistible you are" Kaen'Dre responded and let go of her with a tender squeeze.
She made a fake pout but got off of him. She'd already felt something rip inside her when they first made love, she didn't need anything else ripping and adding more pain. But she had to admit, he was great when he thrust himself deep inside her body while his body glistened from sweat. Shaking out of her erotic thoughts from today, she looked over to where he lay. As usual, he wore his mesh outfit and loincloth.
"I followed you today to busy myself and overheard something about a celebration" Kaen'Dre said nonchalantly, trying to know more. "It is tomorrow and you have no partner?"
"You cannot go, what if someone sees who you really are, my lord?" Kiara sighed.
"Don't call me that and besides, we've done it before" Kaen'Dre pointed out.
"But the whole kingdom will be gathered around one area" Kiara said, firmly. "You said so yourself that you did not want anyone knowing who you are."
"Yes, but. . .I just want to experience it with you" Kaen'Dre said, softly. "I love doing things with you."
How could she deny that tone? He always knew what to say to make her agree. She wanted him to come but part of her was wary. She groaned into a pillow making him pat her back gently.
"Please? I will be very, very, very, very careful" he persuaded.
"You will have to be very covered like last time" she said, backing her defense.
"I will do anything to go, and I mean anything" Kaen'Dre purred, looking at her with his golden gaze.
"Oh! How can I resist your eyes? I hate you, you know" Kiara groaned, giving in to his wish. "You're too good looking for your own good."
"Yes! I am perfect!" he said triumphantly and placed a fist into the air. He bit her cheek fondly and purred, "But I still love you."
She kicked his leg playfully while he growled in return. Purring playfully, he grabbed her by the waist and threw himself onto her. She squealed while trying to get him off but to no avail. After she quieted in her laughs, he leaned down and kissed her once.
"Thank you, darling" he said, leaning in to kiss her again.
Kiara would've argued but she preferred his affectionate 'thank you's'. Kissing him back, she pressed her body onto the bed and enjoyed the wonderful feelings from his kisses.

End of Chap. 20. I know everyone awaited this chapter so here it was. I hope everyone liked it, even with all the sex in it. Hehe, sex. Anyway, thanks for reading and review if time is permitted. Thanks to Cittygurl, Fluox, Kae-she Katsumi, Michaela Moser, and The Greatest Boba Fett Fan for their review for the last chapter. Virtual hugs to everyone who read anyways!
To Cittygurl: I'm surprised you cried on the last chapter, but I'm glad I brought out emotions in my readers. Yay!
To The Greatest Boba Fett Fan: Yeah, it's funny how much Kaen'Dre wants to get laid but he doesn't. Good for him he's patient or else he wouldn't get any. Hehe.
To Fluox: I gave goosebumps? The more emotion from my viewers, the better my will to write grows!
To Michaela Moser: Aww, I wish you had more time to read. Maybe some pixie dust will spring over you to give you all the time in the world. Boy, I know everyone would want some of that.
To Monarque Myste: I finally put up my chapter and I know it took a bit, but hopefully you like it. And don't throw a fit or hurt the computer, it's just an innocent bystander! LOL. And I can't wait for your next chapter of 'Night Blood'!
To Kae-she Katsumi: The last but best for your question. Kaen'Dre is male and he's an only child and Kiara's the second born child of her family but first female unlike her brother who's the oldest, so I think you know what gender their first child will be. And for the second part, the child will be like both since they're both adventurous and curious, but it will also hold a sense of humor like his mother. Doh! I let the secret out, oh well. It'll be a yautja child by physique also.
Anymore questions can be posted or emailed! Hugs to everyone who read this again!
