“Not gonna lie, that was totally out of this world—pun intended.”
Luna laughs. “I’m glad you liked it.”
“Liked it?” I say incredulously. “Honey, I think I reached the sapphic dimension where everyone’s giving lesbian thirst-trap vibes. There’s no way I’mnotgoing to be expecting some tentacle action from you on a regular basis.”
“I think I can accommodate you on that one,” Luna says, her mouth quirking.
I stare into her otherworldly kaleidoscope-patterned eyes. “How do you feel about getting fucked with something besides my fingers? I mean, not that they aren’t super talented, which they are.”
Luna chuckles at that.
“I was thinking maybe a toy, or perhaps a strap-on? Although it’s cool if that isn’t your thing. I know not every lesbian enjoys that. It all really depends on how satisfying internal stimulation is for you. So, no pressure.”
Luna ponders what I’ve said for a moment. “I’ve experimented with some toys in the past, both solo and with a partner.” She grins at me. “But I rather like the idea of getting fucked by you while you’re wearing a strap-on of some kind. Although I’d probably want to pick out the device.”
I shiver all over, my mind already racing with fantasies of precisely that, damn it.
“You sure know how to get me all riled up,” I say, reaching over and tracing a finger around the curve of one of her small breasts and gently tweaking the nipple.
I’m delighted when she gasps in response.
“Same, gorgeous,” she counters.
I pull her into my arms, and she wraps hers around me as we snuggle together in post-orgasmic contentment.
“This was really special,” I say, my chest swelling with emotion.
“What, do you mean your first time experiencing a tentacle inside you?” Luna asks, arching a quizzical brow.
I flick her forehead gently. “No, I mean us making love now that we know how we each feel about one another.”
Luna gives a happy sigh. “Oh, that. Duh. It made everything so much more intense. I felt it not only in my lady bits but also in all three of my hearts.” She hums thoughtfully. “I need to send a prayer of thanks to Thekmis for bringing you into my life.”
I laugh. Only Luna can have me laughing one moment and swooning the next.
“Even though I only have one heart,” I drawl, “I must admit that being in lovedoesmake the sex even better. To be honest, I thought that was just a myth.”
“Isn’t it wonderful?” Luna says, a dreamy expression on her face.
She really is such a sweet and adorable romantic. Everything about her is open, honest, and heart-wrenchingly earnest. I value those qualities in her so damn much. With Luna at my side, I believe what she told me—that I can make my dream happen, that I can pursue the profession that gives me the greatest purpose in this life while still being able to stay aboard the Sleigh Belle with my family, old and new.
My mind suddenly has an unshakable moment of clarity, and the answer to my conundrum comes to me. I sit bolt upright in bed, startling Luna.
“What is it?”
My heart pounds and blood rushes in my ears. “I’ve had a eureka moment.”
Luna tilts her head. “A what moment?”
“I’ll explain later. But basically, I had an epiphany.” I grin from ear to ear. “I think I figured out how I can make my dream a reality.”
Her whole face goes megawatt bright and I’m nearly blinded.
“Really? That’s wonderful. Tell me all the details!”
“Well, you know how Felix is starting this rescue operation for animals?”
She nods.
