.“I’ll see to Saleeya.Go now, have a good rest.” Kael smiled at Mia.“I’ll return for you in about two hours.”“But.” Mia gasped when he turned to escort Saleeya to her suite.“Admoncor Braeden,” Mia reluctantly called.Kael hesitated then turned to face her again.“Is there something more you need, Miss Tiller?” Kael politely paused, giving her his full attention.“I want to make sure Saleeya’s settled comfortably.”Kael looked from Saleeya to Mia.“You needn’t concern yourself with Saleeya’s comfort.I’ll take care of her.Enjoy your rest.” Kael nodded, dismissing Mia.Kael gently pressed his hand against Saleeya’s back to move her along the corridor.Saleeya glanced back.Mia appeared reluctant to enter her suite.Mia’s face had a worried expression.Noticing Mia’s obvious distress, Saleeya offered a meek smile with a slight wave of her hand toward Mia as she walked off with Kael.Kael led the way to another ornate door, opened it, and ushered her inside.Without a word, he left her next to the door and began a sweep of the room.She giggled when he vanished out the terrace doors before reappearing.“Does it meet your standards, my lord?” She placed her hands on her hips.Kael regarded her for a moment before he flashed a quick smile.“Ah, you tease me.” Kael smiled again.His look along with his comment was as if her teasing him meant something more than she understood.“Yes, the suite is secure.Please come in, Saleeya.” Saleeya felt her insides clinch with longing.She surely loved the way he said her name.The way he made her feel was so unfamiliar to her, yet she recognized it, enjoying the lust-filled sensation.“Did you think it might not be?” Saleeya raised her right eyebrow and cocked her head to look up at him.Teasing him was fun.She enjoyed the devastating smiles he gifted her with.Saleeya debated what to do with this overly masculine, controlling male who confounded her emotions, making her mind swirl.He was completely taking charge of her.She surprisingly enjoyed it.Kael ignored her question.“Over here.” He guided her.“This is your vid-com screen.” He pointed to the large screen that sat on the table across from the seating area.He opened the table’s top drawer to remove a handheld remote.He placed the vid-com remote in her hand.When his fingers touched hers, the tingling sensation ran up her arm into her chest, and her heart skipped.“You may carry the vid-com remote with you.It has its own speaker with screen to make it portable.You may call for whatever you need.Take it wherever you want.Press this key”—he demonstrated—“to request the computer to connect to whomever you like.You may even call the Kriton world to speak with your family.” He paused, his stare reaching through her, an expectant look in his eyes.It was as if he was undressing her with his eyes, and Saleeya blushed at his bold gaze.However, she found she wondered what he looked like out of his tight-fitting uniform.She’d never allowed her mind to think about a particular male that she was interacting with in this way before.Sure, she thought of men, but not one she could reach out and touch.Kael interrupted her imaginings.His husky voice brought her back to reality.He was attempting to explain how to use the vid-com.She could care less about the gadget.The only thing she was absorbing from him as he instructed her was the feel of the heat from his body.His clean, masculine scent made her want to bury her nose against his shoulder to inhale deeply.Hmm, I had no idea that I could enjoy the way a man smelled.I’m really in trouble here.Saleeya chided herself.Her breasts felt tight, heavy, her nipples hardening.She imagined him touching them, kissing them.Her face reddened at her sensually graphic imagination.Behave yourself, Saleeya.I can’t think about the Prince in such a way.It’s simply inappropriate.This is my job.I’m performing official duties.She tried to convince herself.“I carry my palm vid-com all of the time, so you can contact me at any time.Over there.” He redirected her attention.“Can I call you?” Saleeya blurted, interrupting him.She couldn’t help but ask.“Any time, I’d like that.” Kael’s smile sent a thrill right through her.His deep voice caressed her like silk.She was aching to feel his lips on hers.She could almost taste him.“Like I was telling you, over there’s a chill unit with your drinking water.” Pivoting on his toes, he pointed in the other direction.“In through those doors is your bedchamber along with your cleaning chamber.On Xihirah, we use real water showers.There’re many delightful uses for such a luxury.” Saleeya was so caught up with his news of a real water shower she jumped up on the tip of her toes to race in the direction of the shower.“Oh, my Kriton Moons, a real water shower with hot and cold water? This is fabulous.” She clapped her hands together gleefully.“Oh, Kael that’s just wonderful.When can I use it? Can I use it anytime I want? Are there any restrictions regarding the use of it that I need to know?” With much energy, Saleeya was caught up with the news that she could have a water shower.The thought of enjoying the water shower momentarily replaced her current obsession with Kael.She darted past Kael into the bedchamber to get to the shower he had mentioned.Kael followed quietly, watching her unexpected excitement.“I’d like to excite you like this,” Kael whispered after her.“How does it work? Is it easy to use? Can you show me?” Another burst of energy overtook Saleeya.Kael smiled from ear to ear, following behind her.“I’d love to show you how to use the shower.Shall I take my uniform off so I can demonstrate more thoroughly? It’s the easiest way to show you.”Saleeya entered the cleaning chamber, stopped in the middle of the room to rotate around on her heels.Mirrors wrapped around the entire room.In the corner of the room, beautiful glass doors enclosed the shower area.Two eye-catching silver sinks stood against another wall of mirrors.A commode with privacy was tucked behind another mirrored wall.The room was brightly lit.“Oh, my Deity, I need sunglasses in here.It’s so bright.My Kriton Moons, look at this marvelous shower area,” Saleeya excitedly rambled on.“Adjust lighting to dim twenty percent,” Kael instructed the computer.Not paying attention to Kael’s presence, Saleeya happily danced into the shower area.She turned around and around giggling like a young child.“My gosh, it’s big enough to hold three or four people at once.I love it, but I can’t imagine what you’d do with such a big shower.”“I’d love to show you.There’re many things,” Kael murmured under his breath.“This is heavenly.I’m in heaven.” Saleeya twirled around.Saleeya ignored Kael.“Mia’s probably in her heaven too.” Saleeya continued dancing about the room.“Look, there’re benches in here.Wow, you can sit down to have the water wash over you.” She sat down on one of the benches, leaned back against the mirrored wall, and closed her eyes.“I’m so happy.I can’t wait to try this out.”“You’re beautiful,” Kael reverently whispered.Saleeya in her excitement hadn’t really forgotten the handsome male’s presence.He was difficult to forget.Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw him watching her intently [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
