Ka'Cit's Haven - Page 202

She smiled and leaned her head against him as she looked toward the main building.

Ka’Cit followed her gaze.

“This is where I live. It’s not much but—”

“It’s perfect.”

Ka’Cit’s life organ swelled.

She wasn’t looking at the house.

She was looking at him.

Epilogue

Six months later

Nia looked out the window of the house down onto the grounds.

Morpheus hung his head over his enclosure and pointed his gaze straight at her as if he knew the exact moment she was looking his way.

Riv had sent him to live with them after he’d heard Ka’Cit was revamping his “farm.”

Now, instead of heaps of metal, they had a few animal enclosures and even a field for vegetables.

The metal wasn’t all gone though.

It turned out Ka’Cit used the scraps for custom upgrades on almost any device you could think of. He really was good with his hands and that wasn’t restricted to simply forging metal.

They’d spent a month building a barn to store most of the metal chunks and the house was looking more and more like a homestead as the days went by.

As she stared out the window, she spotted him pulling a hay bale toward Morpheus’ enclosure and had to stifle a giggle as Morpheus dipped his head over the enclosure to chew on Ka’Cit’s hair.

She could hear his grunt of annoyance even from the distance.

He glanced her way then, and stopped what he was doing.

Nia felt the breath pause in her throat.

Even after all this time, when he looked at her, she found she could not breathe.

And he did it a lot—as if he still couldn’t get used to seeing her in his space…as if he was scared she was a mirage that would disappear if he got too close.

It turned out that his homestead was larger than Riv’s property and she’d gotten the idea of setting up a few houses for some of the humans they’d helped the robot dude, V’Alen, rescue—that was, if any of them wanted to move out on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

Word was that V’Alen and his friends had gotten the humans out, all because of the metal part she and Ka’Cit had stolen, and she thought some of them coming to live on Hudo III was a great idea.

Though…there was the issue of obtaining legal status on the planet. After what she’d gone through, she wasn’t sure how that would work yet.

But where there was a will…

Glancing at her wrist, her eyes moved over her tattoo.

She still couldn’t believe it.

He’d given her so much, and all with the thought that she would never want him… that they would never be together.

He’d been prepared to get himself abducted just because of her.
