“I’m sorry,” she said, approaching the fire.“I should have helped with something.”
The animal was already cleaned and looked as if it had been roasting for a good hour already.In the corner, she spied the cleanly cut fur and hide, but no sign of blood or insides.On the opposite corner of the cave, she spied a large piling of what looked likecotton.
When she looked back at him, she teased softly, “You’ve been busy.And here I thought you would’ve been tired, given how many times you were up during the night.”
His purring increased and Beks smiled, leaning forward to give him a kiss.Her eyes fluttered shut, a soft sigh escaping her, when he kissed her back, working that tongue with a precision that almost made her jealous, wondering how many ‘females’ came before that had helped him perfect it.
If the women of his race found him as attractive and sexy as Beks did, he probably had to fight to keep them away, morning and night.
When he pulled away, his voice was delicious as he said, “I wish to lick your cunt again,luxiva.”
Her pussy fluttered helplessly, responding to his dirty words and the memory of how very much she liked him ‘licking her cunt.’
But she knew they couldn’t waste away the day like that, which was where the day would lead if they started early.Beks didn’t know very much about survival, but she figured they would need to collect more supplies and have a good stock of boiled water, just in case.
“Later,” she murmured, her mind catching on that last word.He’d called her it before, but she was curious.“And what doesluxivamean?”
His expression went serious and he pulled away, stooping down to check the meat.“Perhaps one span, I will tell you,” was all he said, driving her curiosity up the wall.When she wanted to know something, she was like a dog with a bone.But he changed the subject with haste, gesturing to the cooking meat, “This is done.Are you hungry?”
After last night, most definitely, she thought, letting theluxivathing slide…for now.She nodded and watched as he plucked the steaming meat right off the spit.A splash of fat sizzled down into the fire.
“You’ll burn yourself,” she exclaimed.
Lihvan shrugged, letting it cool in his fingers.“I do not feel it.Luxirian flesh is thick.”
That’s not all that’s thick, Horny Beks thought.She shook her head, wondering if she’d even be able to get anything done that day, so distracted she was by the hunky alien in front of her.
When Lihvan determined that the meat was cool enough, he crouched down next to her and lifted it to her mouth.Her heart fluttered, realizing that he wanted to feed her.It was so…intimate.
She leaned forward and ate the slice, licking one of his fingers in the process.He suppressed a groan, watching as she chewed.Flavor burst on her tongue and she moaned.It tasted like rich, juicy, smoky pork.
“It’samazing,” she said, watching as he tore off another piece, letting it cool, before holding it to her again.“You should eat, Lihvan.You must be hungry,” she said, eyeing his bulging muscles.He had to eata lotto feed those babies.
“Nix,” he said.“You eat first.Always.”
That dangerous feeling bloomed in her chest again.She felt it coursing through her, both exhilarating and frightening.It scared her how quickly she’d developed these feelings for him, in such a short period of time.But she’d never felt so cared for, so protected, so desirable than when she was with him.
“Okay,” she whispered, leaning forward.“But only if I get to feedyounext.”
TWELVE
Needless to say, they got a little distracted after ‘breakfast.’
But by the time the sun was high in the sky, they fell into a rhythm of productivity.Lihvan ventured out to cut down a few of the black vines Beks had seen the previous day.It turned out that they had many uses.For one, once Lihvan cut off one of the stems and cleaned out the inside seeds—which he said could be used for washing soap once they were ground up—they could use the vines as tubes to hold water, which Beks immediately set to work on.
Even though Lihvan said his people would be looking for them soon, it wouldn’t hurt to have a back up plan if they were stranded there for longer than anticipated.
The vines could also be used as cordage.Beks, in between boiling down the water crystals, watched as Lihvan carefully and expertly stripped long strings of it with the knife he’d carved before weaving them together.He tested the strength of each thin rope once he was done, muscles flexing as he pulled each end.Every time Beks thought he couldn’t impress her more, he did something that changed her mind.
Once he finished with the cordage, he began cleaning and scraping down the animal hide from his hunt.Her alien was a work horse and he never seemed to slow down, accomplishing one task only to move onto the next.
Glancing at the water, she asked, “Do you think I could use a water crystal to wash with?Once we’ve filled up the vines?”
Lihvan’s eyes flickered down her body and he said, “You wish to wash?”
“I haven’t bathed since…well, since you gave me this shirt.Soon, you’ll make me sleep outside,” she joked.
His nostrils flared and he purred, “You smell good to me.”
