In His Arms

"You shouldn't be playing those old girls' tricks," he said in his deep, husky voice, sending shivers down my spine. His closeness caused his mint breath to fan my skin, making it heat up instead of cooling it down. "What t-tricks?" I stammered at his proximity and really wanted to hit myself for appearing affected by him. My breaths were coming out shallow. He smirked, looking like a sexy angel or perhaps more like a sexy devil at the moment. Leaning forward, he reduced the distance between us. "Don't tell me your best friend didn't tell you to do all this to induce a reaction from me." My cheeks flushed tomato red at his words. And I couldn't deny it because he was absolutely right. I looked at the ground, biting my lower lip, consumed by my usual mix of embarrassment and shyness. A tortured groan escaped his lips. I shivered once more. "You don't do things for what you aren't ready. You have no idea what all I can do to you," he whispered huskily in my ear, making me shiver with pleasure. His lips brushed the skin of my earlobe. "W-what will you do to me?" I couldn't help but whisper back. I knew that curiosity had killed a cat, but I couldn't help but feel curious. After all, even I was a Kat after all. "I can do a lot of things to you before claiming you and do a hell lot more after that." he bent down to nibble at the skin of my beauty bone, causing me to gasp. My knees were already jelly. If it wasn't for him holding me tight against the wall, I would have fallen a long time ago. "But it's too late now. You cannot play with fire without getting burnt. Now, you face the consequences, kitten," he hissed. ___________________ With the rise of new nations after the third world war and the thirst for power and supremacy, Katrina unknowingly gets involved in the rivalry between the two supreme powers.
