Phantom Warriors: Saber-Tooth by Jordan Summers Read Free Book Online

about to touch their sex life after
    what she’d just experienced with Kegar. She dug deeper. There had to be something
    here he could wear. She found a pair of cutoff shorts that she’d bought when she’d been
    a size sixteen. “Here,” she said, tossing the clothes at him. “They aren’t pretty, but at
    least they are loose and should provide you with a little cover until you can get to the
    clothes you stashed.”
    Kegar caught the shorts. I’m quite comfortable the way that I am.
    “I bet you are.” She grabbed some clothes for herself and dressed quickly. The
    doorbell rang as she tied her last shoestring. Damn, Roger was early. Katy rose, glancing
    in the mirror at her reflection. Her lips were kiss swollen and her hair looked as if she’d
    just gotten out of bed. Pretty accurate all in all.
    She took a step toward the hall. Kegar reached out and stopped her. Before you go, I
    think there is something you need to know.
    She whirled her hand to indicate he should hurry up.
    There was no cat. It was an…illusion.
    Katy rolled her eyes. “I didn’t tranquilize an illusion.”
    No, you shot me.
    “What are you saying?” The doorbell rang again, followed by a loud knock.
    Kegar reached out and stroked the side of her cheek with the back of his hand. So
    beautiful.
    “Kegar, focus.” Katy snapped her fingers and gave him a warning glance that she
    hoped said she wasn’t up for playing any more games.
    I have not lied to you. I am a Phantom Warrior from Zaron. Planet Zaron. I am not human, so
    therefore the rules of this planet do not apply to me. I can run with the beasts by changing my form,
    walk through your walls and hide myself from prying eyes.
    Katy stared for the longest time, unable to say a word. Her mind replayed the day’s
    events with extreme accuracy. Could what he was saying be true? As much as she
    wanted to believe him, there was no way. The pounding grew louder, followed by a
    command to break down the door. “Wait right here,” she said, racing for her front door.
    She couldn’t afford to fix it if she were unemployed.
    She slipped the locks and opened the door. “What in the hell is the matter with you,
    Roger?” Katy looked past his shoulder and saw two Bio Tech security team members
    waiting in the wings. “Why did you bring them? Don’t you think that’s overkill?”
    Roger wore a belligerent expression on his face. “Someone had to carry the stolen
    property. Besides, you’ve been acting so bizarre that I couldn’t take the chance that you
    might refuse to hand the cat over.”
    “Stolen property? You have to be kidding me? I’ve never stolen anything in my life.”
    He pushed his way into the house, leaving the security team outside. “Then you
    won’t mind if I take a quick look around.” He glanced over his shoulder into the front
    yard. “This will only take a minute,” he said, shutting and locking the door behind him.
    Roger started his search in the kitchen, then made his way back to the living room. “I see
    you haven’t bothered to make any changes to the place, even after I gave you all those
    wonderful suggestions.”
    Katy wanted to tell him just what he could do with his suggestions, but she didn’t.
    Instead, she prayed that Kegar had found a good place to hide. He’d claimed to be an
    expert at it. Let’s hope he was telling the truth.
    Roger stormed into the bedroom, then suddenly turned on Katy, his gaze narrowing
    as he took in the rumpled sheets. He sniffed repeatedly, making a show of flaring his
    nostrils. “Have we been having a little afternoon delight?”
    “W-what are you talking about?”
    He took a menacing step toward her. “Drop the act, princess. I can smell sex in this
    room.” He pointed without looking. “Who have you been fucking? Is that why you
    rushed home, instead of bringing the cat to the facility? I can’t believe you’d endanger an
    animal that way, not to mention the public.”
    Katy’s face flushed as she
