Chapter 8: A Joining

Kissing was brilliant.

That was pretty much all Camilla had to say on the subject. There hadn't been anyone in her pride that she had really wanted to kiss, and sometimes she wondered if there were something wrong with her because she had made it to twenty-one and had never kissed anyone, but this...this made all the waiting worth it. Not that the waiting had been conscious. It wasn't like she had ever had a bevy of people waiting to kiss her lined up, and even if she had, she doubted that Paul would have told her about it, just for the purposes of keeping her even further under his thumb. He had told her time and time again that there was no one else out there who wanted her. Her parents were gone, and he had said that he was sure she didn't have any other family, and even if she did, why would they want an orphaned or abandoned little shifter girl to come along and mess up the families they already had.

And at the time it had made a lot of sense. She had been a little girl, confused about her place in the world, and Paul had come along and showed her that she only belonged with him, which had of course really meant that she belonged to him.

But Karic was showing her something different now. He was showing her that she could belong with him if she wanted to, and fuck it was getting hard to remember all the reasons why she shouldn't want it. She didn't have any other kisses to compare it to, but the way his lips moved against hers, the way he occasionally bit down on her lip and tugged, it was all lighting a path of liquid fire down her spine.

A soft whimper echoed in the kitchen, and it took her a minute to realize that it had come from her and that she was pressed shamelessly against Karic's front, like she wanted more and didn't know how else to show it. Which...wasn't wholly inaccurate, she supposed.

Karic pulled back, and his lips were red and his eyes were darker. The way he looked at her made her shiver a bit, and she pulled her arms back down from around his neck and dropped back down to her feet. "Did you...did you like that?" he asked, and he sounded almost as nervous as she had felt when they started this.

"Yeah," she breathed, nodding. "I liked it a lot. It was...you're good at that."

He chuckled. "Had a little bit of practice. Nothing serious, but." Karic shrugged. "Enough, I guess."

"Yeah. I...sorry. That I don't know what I'm doing here at all."

"Don't be sorry," Karic said quickly, shaking his head. "You don't have anything to be sorry for. I mean, from what you've told me, your life hasn't exactly lent itself to having time to kiss random people, and I'm sure you didn't really want to kiss any of the people in your pride for obvious reasons.
