"It's hard to lose someone."
"My mom died last year." I tell him, "It's part of why I'm here. I spent so much time taking care of her, I forgot to take care of everything else."
"Then you can understand why I did not want to invite that pain again." He sighs and pulls me closer until I'm sprawled halfway on top of him. "But fromthe moment I saw you, there was no resisting you."
"Right," I laugh.
"You're lovely, so soft and warm. You smell and taste wonderful. You're kind and your pussy is the most perfect thing I've ever seen." His fingers trail down the front of me until they cup me from behind. "There is more to a relationship, of course, but I want time to learn everything about you. And I can't do that if you're leaving."
I push off of him until I'm sitting next to him. I cannot have this conversation sprawled on top of him. And I definitely can't do it with his fingers pressed against my pussy.
"You can't keep leaving me alone all the time. I get you have work and a life but I'm going crazy sitting in here all the time."
"I'd like to combine domiciles. We can use whichever you prefer." He takes my hand in his and toys with my fingers. "I do not like being away from you."
"Oh, okay." Well, that was easy. "You have to introduce me to your friends. And there was a girl on the flight up, I'd like to find her contact information. I need other contacts besides you."
"I cannot promisewe'll find the human but I shall ask Headquarters to help. I shall introduce you to Kan-RI and his partner whenever you like."
"You're being awfully accommodating." I narrow my eyes at him, not sure I can trust it.
"I want you here and I want you happy enough to stay. I will do whatever I can to make it happen. I'll probably mess it up because I've never had a mate before, so you'll need to tell me when I have and help me fix it."
"I can live with that." I lean forward and press my lips to his. "Now, can you please feed me? I'm dying over here."
Chapter 24
Rexus
"You have to let me read it," I tell Rosie. She just came into the bedroom crowing that she had finished her book. And now she insists I cannot read it. Rude.
"I have to edit it first. It's not done yet."
"But you just said—" She sets her communicator on the charging pad next to mine and launches herself on me.
"My first draft is done. I still have to edit it. Probably more than once. But I've never finished a full rough draft before." She straddles my lap and wraps her arms around my neck. "I'm excited."
"I'm proud of you." I wrap my arms around her waist and bring her closer until I can thrust my already half-hard cocks against her through my sweatpants. They're a human article of clothing that I've fallenin love with. So much softer than the durable clothing standard issue on WLN269.
For my birthday, Rosie ordered a few pairs for me after she got tired of me wearing hers and 'stretching them out' on her. It was the most thoughtful gift I've ever received.
"Ugh, what if it's bad?" She frowns, and I lean forward to kiss the expression off her face.
"It's not."
"How would you know?"
"Well, you could let me read it." She slaps my chest before hugging me close. "It's not terrible because you're brilliant and a talented story teller."
I could listen to Rosie tell me stories about her life on Earth forever. Of her explorations around WLN269. She has a way of telling them that has me hanging on every word. I have no doubt her book is much the same.
"Thank you," she snuggles against my chest, and I run my hands up and down her back until I can cup her ass. "Stop it."
"Stop what?" I slide my hands up until I can slide them under her pants and put myhands on flesh.
"Distracting me." But she's laughing as she snuggles closer to give me a better grip. I dip my fingers in until I can spread her cheeks wide.
"I would never," I say, pressing a fingertip against her puckered hole. "Are you going to tell me about it?"
