Katieran Prime 4 - Kiljorn Prime by KD Jones Page B

was she watching them? It hurt to see how easy KadEN and AriELa related to one another. They had so much in common. They were both Primes. They both had responsibilities to their Nations. What could Lindsey offer him?
    “Well, I would like to make it up to you. How about I take you on a special tour tomorrow after Morning Meal?”
    “Lindsey and I would enjoy that.”
    What? How did she get roped into going on their special tour? Fuck! Lindsey smiled a sideways smile. “That would be great.”
    KadEN said that he had a few more meetings to attend to and said his goodbyes. Lindsey, AriELa, Lucy, and TarAK shared the Evening Meal together. It was a bit awkward because AriELa and TarAK didn’t really talk to one another. They kept giving each other looks when they thought the other one wasn’t looking. She would have to ask AriELa about that later when they were alone.
    TarAK showed Lucy how to ensure the suite was secure before he went to his own suite. Once Lucy headed to her own bedroom, Lindsey decided to question AriEla. “What’s going on with the two of you?”
    AriELa looked at her in surprise. “The two of who?”
    “You and TarAK.”
    AriELa looked away but not before Lindsey saw shadows enter her eyes. “Nothing.”
    “Okay, I didn’t mean to pry.” Lindsey started for her bedroom but AriELa’s words stopped her.
    “Please don’t say anything,” AriELa whispered.
    “I won’t, but know that you can talk to me about anything. I am your friend.”
    AriELa nodded her head. “When I’m ready, I’ll tell you.”
    “Good enough. Good night.” Lindsey gave her a smile.
    “Good night.”
     
    *****
     
    Lindsey went to Morning Meal alone. AriELa didn’t want anything to eat and said that she would meet up with her later for the tour, but she never did. When she showed up on the landing pad, there was no AriELa, no Lucy, and no TarAK in sight.
    Lindsey felt uncomfortable being alone with the Prime Leader of Kiljor. The man was too gorgeous for his own good, and he was fully aware of it. He knew that women drooled over him, falling over their feet to just serve him. It really pissed her off. She was determined not to let him know that, though.
    “My apologies, Ms. Carreli. Prima AriELa is not feeling up for the shuttle tour today. I am more than happy to take you alone, if that is what you want. Or would you prefer to cancel until she is able to come with us at a later date?” KadEN was baiting the female. She was stubborn and prideful. He knew he would get a reaction.
    “Of course I am feeling up for the tour! But I will understand completely if perhaps your delicate sense of propriety demands that you postpone until a later date.” She recognized the challenge for what it was and threw it back in his face.
    “Then it seems that we will have that shuttle tour after all. Go ahead onto the shuttle while I notify our pilot and security liaison.” He smiled arrogantly at her as he walked away.
    Fuck me! What did I just agree to? Oh, yeah , a shuttle tour with only a pilot and a security liaison to act as chaperone. She had always been able to keep a low profile when AriELa was around by letting the other woman do most of the talking, but now Lindsey was going to have to actually hold a conversation with the irritating Prime Leader. Would he bring up their kiss? Would he talk about what a mistake it had been? The Prima had better be on her deathbed for putting her in this awkward position.
    Lindsey watched as KadEN boarded the shuttle. Her heartbeat sped up the moment her eyes met his. Why did he have to be so damn attractive? His dark brown hair, those eyes with the gold pupils, and his kissable lips were hard to ignore. She tried to make herself breathe in and out, in and out. Get yourself together, Carreli. He’s just another man with a big ego. No big deal. Right?
    “You look beautiful as always, Miss Carreli,” KadEN told her. She had the best pair of legs he had ever seen. Even though she
