Chapter 6: Emerald Possession, Silk Descent

  The air thickened, charged with the potent brandy, Kat's intoxicating scent, and the sheer force of her focused desire. Her hand didn't stop its slow, deliberate journey up Kenji's thigh beneath the silk robe. It moved with unsettling confidence, fingers tracing the hard muscle, mapping his form as if ciming territory. Kenji’s breath hitched, his muscles tensing involuntarily under her touch.

  "Rex," Kat murmured, her voice a low vibration against his ear. Her other hand, still cupping his cheek, tilted his head slightly, forcing him to meet her consuming gaze. "Why so tense? Don't you like being touched?" Her eyes searched his, not for consent, but for confirmation of her effect on him. "Your body doesn't lie, Kenji. It welcomes me."

  Damn Seraphina and this ridiculously responsive Adonis physique. Damn the Turbo-Charm. His fear and apprehension warred violently with the faint, traitorous flush spreading across his skin under her ministrations. He felt like a puppet pulled by strings he couldn't see, reacting against his will.

  "Kat, this is…" Kenji started, trying to regain some sembnce of control, trying to push back against the overwhelming tide of her presence.

  "This is right," she finished for him, her voice dropping to a husky whisper that sent shivers down his spine. Her hand slid higher, dangerously close to the juncture of his thighs, fingers brushing against the most sensitive skin there. Kenji gasped, his back arching slightly off the sofa. Her touch was no longer exploratory; it was deliberately provocative, staking a cim. "This is how it's meant to be. You were brought here for me. I felt it the moment I saw you. A missing piece, snapping into pce."

  Her gaze dropped to his lips again, hungry and possessive. "I've waited lifetimes for this feeling," she breathed, "without even knowing I was waiting. I won't let anything take you away. You are mine. Utterly. Completely."

  There was no room for argument in her voice, only absolute conviction. Before Kenji could even process the full weight of her words, she leaned in, closing the final distance. Her lips captured his, not gently, but with a fierce, possessive pressure that stole his breath. It wasn't a kiss of affection; it was an act of branding, a decration of ownership. Her tongue slipped past his lips, tasting him, demanding response, exploring with a confidence that bordered on dominance.

  The brandy, her scent, the smooth silk, the shocking intimacy of her touch both over and under his robe – it all swirled into a disorienting vortex. Her hand tightened possessively high on his inner thigh, while her other arm snaked around his back, pulling him impossibly closer, deepening the kiss until he felt consumed. He could feel the low growl rumbling in her chest again, a sound of pure, predatory satisfaction.

  Just as his head began to spin, overwhelmed, she broke the kiss, leaving him breathless, lips tingling, mind reeling. Her eyes burned into his, pupils blown wide, twin emerald furnaces reflecting the city lights and her own bzing obsession. A triumphant, possessive smile pyed on her lips.

  "Mine," she breathed again, the word a final verdict.

  Then, with surprising strength, she pushed him backwards. Kenji tumbled onto the vast expanse of the silk-sheeted bed. The cool fabric enveloped him, feeling more like a web than bedding. Before he could even try to sit up, Kat was moving, her form silhouetted against the panoramic window and the glittering sprawl of Aethelgard far below.

  She flowed onto the bed, nding over him with feline grace, pinning him beneath her weight. Her hands pressed against his shoulders, her knees trapping his legs. The bck silk of her own robe gaped open slightly, revealing the pale skin and enticing curves beneath, but her expression held no coyness, only fierce determination and possessive intent. Her blonde hair spilled around her shoulders like a halo backlit by the city, but her eyes held the glint of a predator cornering its prize.

  She lowered her face towards his again, her shadow falling over him, blocking out the city lights, blocking out everything but her.

  "Now," she whispered, her voice thick with promises and threats, her breath warm against his skin, "Let's make sure you understand

  exactly who you belong to..."
