He pulls off his robe like he can’t wait to get out of his clothes. Then he’s naked and striding toward the lake while I stare at his perfectly formed ass. I have never been one to check out a guy’s ass before, but when they look like that…

I snap my gaze away as he turns to get into the lake, but I looked away a touch too late. Everything is in proportion. And I meaneverything. His dick isn’t even hard, and I already know there is no way I’m letting it get near me even if we are the last two people in existence for the rest of forever.

He groans with satisfaction, and I know he’s in the water. I risk a glance over my shoulder to see he’s already halfway around, his head just above the water. I am going to drown.

From where he is, he’ll be able to see me undressing through the steam. There’s nothing for it but to strip and get in as fast as possible. I open the robe and the warm damp air kisses my skin and for a heartbeat I consider leaving my bra and panties on. They’ll get clean in the lake, but then they’ll also be wet, and I won’t be able to put them back on. I undo my bra first, resisting the urge to cover my breasts with my hands both for modesty and support.

I can feel Indiz’s stare, and the hair along my arms prickles to attention. This is a dumb thing to do. He hasn’t seen a woman of any kind in too many years. But he’s had the chance last night to do more than hold me, and he hasn’t. There’s no way I could’ve fought him off if he had tried something.

Do I want him to?

Then I’ll be one ofthosehumans. The kind that abandons their species to mess around with some other kind. I don’t want to lose my job or be shunned. My parents wouldn’t let me back into the house.

Nothing is going to happen between us.

He’s a giant alien and I’m me. I follow the rules. Rules exist for a reason, and I don’t want some weird alien infection. With my resolve shored up, I shuck my panties and add them to my washing pile. I’ve never been one to parade about naked so I cover myself as best I can and scuttle for the edge of the lake, but I have no idea how to get in.

Indiz stands the water barely reaching his hip bones and moves toward me. THe lake isn’t as deep as I thought. “There are stairs.”

Of course there are. I walk around hoping they’ll become obvious as a hot blush crawls over every part of exposed skin. I’ll be as pink as him in a minute.

He stops about two meters away and holds out his hand. “Here.”

Now I have to choose to accept his hand and uncover part of me or refuse and fall into the lake like an idiot because I can’t see the stairs for all the steam on the surface.

He waits. I need to stop expecting the worst from him. Just because I’ve been burned before doesn’t mean every guy is the same. I release my boobs and take his hand, then step off the edge.

My foot hits a step and I sigh with relief. He holds onto me as I descend. The hot water laps at my legs, then my butt, my waist. The water rises to my rib cage, and it’s so deliciously warm I have already decided to never leave the bath.

He doesn’t let go of my hand.

I want to go into the deeper water, so I don’t feel like my tits are on display. While he’s doing a good job of looking at my face, I notice when his gaze dips lower. This close to him I can tell that while his gaze has dropped, his dick hasn’t. The head is almost about to break the surface, like a rising monster.

I need a distraction fast. “Does the water get deeper?”

“Yes.” And he leads me to where he was.

I immediately have regrets, even though my boobs have now been swallowed by the water. As it closes around my neck I stop. “I can’t swim. I can’t go deeper. This will be fine.”

“Trust me.” He grabs my other hand and drags me further out into the lake.

My toes no longer touch the bottom and it’s all I can do not to panic. I scan the water, searching for eels, but there’s only the rocky bottom.

“Okay?”

“Yes.” If he let’s go, I’m dead. I add drowning as a way to die on this planet. Every day there’s something new. I have changed my mind about it being idyllic. It’s deadly. “How have you lived here for so long on your own?”

He glances away. “I have gotten used to it. But now you are here.”

“And when rescue comes, we can both leave.” I smile, and it isn’t returned.

“No one leaves.” He tows me toward the center of the lake.

“Please. I don’t want to die.” I can’t pull away, but I can’t let him take me further. I am at his mercy, and I don’t like it. He can’t drown me if I’m clinging to him. I kick and move closer, then grab onto his arms, then shoulders.

His eyes widen, but he takes ahold of me. I wrap my legs around his waist. And I know I have made a mistake. The head of his dick brushes the back of my thigh.

“I will not drown you.” His hand slides over my thigh and cups my ass, and his gaze is steady.
