They found Darla and Shalia already seated, a chair held open between them for their new friend. Only one, though.
“Go on. Sit with your friends. You have a lot to talk about.”
“You’ll be okay?”
“Dearest, I’m always okay.”
He headed to a nearby table where the humans’ mates were eating, said his greetings, then moved to a table a little farther away to eat with some of his village friends. He watched as Maria dined and drank and talked excitedly with Darla and Shalia. Finding women from her home world was doing her so much good, and the look of relaxed happiness in her eyes made his heart grow warm with delight. It was odd how much he cared for her, but rather than question things, he was just enjoying the feeling. Dangerous as their situation was, it could end at any time. He hoped not with all his heart, but he wanted to make the most of it while he could.
He finished his dinner and left for a stroll, leaving Maria in the care of the others. This was just what she needed, and there was no reason to insert himself into their girls’ night out.
Maria stayed late, drinking and chattering away with the ease and joy she’d forgotten she could have. It was one thing talking to aliens, but these women were from home, and theyhad so much shared culture and history, not as people from the same town, but from the same planet. By the time she made her way back to her lodging she felt like a million bucks.
She took one more breath of the delightfully fresh night air, then went inside and changed out of her clothes into a sheer, soft gown that had been provided for her. The material was bright and cheerful, fitting her perfectly, grazing her skin in the most delightful of ways. She was well-fed, a little tipsy, and her whole body felt amazing. Still, one thing was missing.
Maria quickly made up her mind and changed back into her clothes then headed outside with the thought of looking for Zepharos, though she realized she didn’t know where he lived.
“You look lovely,” his voice said from nearby, surprising her with his presence.
“I was wondering where you’d gone. You left early.”
“You were enjoying yourself; I didn’t wish to intrude.”
“It wouldn’t be an intrusion.”
“Perhaps not, but I wished for you to have time to yourself with your new friends.”
“But you came back.”
“I did. I…I missed you.”
She felt her heart beat hard in her chest, her belly warming at his words. “So, what are you doing out here?”
“It is your personal lodging, Maria. I did not want to intrude on your private space.”
“Don’t be silly. It’s a bit late for that now, don’t you think?”
He shrugged, almost bashful. It was freaking adorable.
“I am learning that one should not take such things as a given. I will sleep in my own residence, if you prefer.”
She pulled him close, hauling him lower and planting a firm kiss on his full lips. “How about I join you?”
The bulge in his trousers grew significantly, and both their faces grew flush with a shared want.
“I would like that very much.”
“Then take me home, Zeph.”
“With pleasure.”
Fingers entwined, they walked the route quickly but not so fast as to draw attention. Yes, they were hurrying off to fuck like beasts, but they didn’t need to telegraph it to everyone they passed. Finally, they reached his home. It was a solid structure, constructed mostly of wood. Maria barely noticed, her attention firmly affixed on the man drawing her into his lair.
The door was barely closed behind them when his hands undressed her in an instant, his desire so great he nearly tore the material in his haste. Maria, to her credit, was a little more composed, but when he cupped her breasts, his fingers gently teasing her nipples, sending jolts of pleasure to her clit so strong her leg shook, all of that self-control went out the window.
She yanked his trousers down and grabbed his erection while he pulled his shirt off over his head, his body firm and radiantly warm as he drew her closer, lifting her up in the air then setting her dripping pussy onto his straining cock.
They were both ready. Just being near each other was foreplay enough, and they wanted each other,neededeach other as quickly as possible. It was such an intensely visceral desire that all other thought left their minds as she bottomed out on his massive length, his girth stretching her so delightfully as he lifted and lowered her, his hands cupping her ass, supporting her weight as if she were a feather, his powerful arms and shoulders easily moving her however he wanted.
