"It's delightful."
A burst of giggles escaped her lips. She wasn't sure what she'd expected him to say, but "delightful" wasn't it.
But the words helped loosen her up, and as Cael's fingers explored further, she parted her thighs for him, less nervous now. He pressed between her folds wet with desire, and Midori's breath hitched in her throat as she sucked in air. It had been so long since she'd been touched. Her body was already frenetic with need.
One of Cael's other hands returned to her breasts, kneading the flesh and tugging on the taut peaks. Another hand traced the outline of her lips, while his fourth hand shifted underneath her and grasped a handful of her ass. Even his tail explored her body, sliding between her legs and wrapping around her calves.Together with his four hands touching, stroking, and exploring what gave her pleasure, it was enough to make her come undone.
Cael's thumb stroked her cheek and traced across her lips while another hand parted her lower lips and pressed inside her slickened channel. Midori caught his thumb with her teeth and gave it a gentle nibble just as his other thumb flashed across her clit. A low moan escaped her lips, and Midori arched into Cael's hand, riding his digits as he stroked deeper and deeper inside her depths. She couldn't take much more. It was too much. Too good. She didn't deserve to feel this good. But she did.
"Open your eyes, Midori."
She hadn't realized she'd closed them again, but she obeyed Cael's request and looked up at him in a daze.
"Does this give you pleasure?" he asked.
Midori whimpered and nodded. She was close. So close.
Cael bent down, his lips and the heat of his breath pressing against her ear as he whispered, "DoIgive you pleasure, Midori?"
She was undone. Cael unmade her with his touch and his words. Midori knew she'd never be the same. Her fingers knotted in the sleeping bag as she grabbed at the fabric for leverage while waves of pleasure rolled through her. With a moan of long restrained desire, she undulated her pelvis harder and faster against Cael's hand, two of his fingers stroking deep within her. When his thumb casually stroked past her swollen clit, another tidal wave of pure bliss rolled through her. Midori cried out and grasped Cael's arm, then his back, pulling him closer. Her need to have his flesh pressing against hers was overpowering. Finally, the orgasm calmed, but Cael's fingers continued to press in and out as she rode the final waves of pleasure.
Only when she laid still did Cael slip his fingers free. Midori immediately felt their absence, as if Cael alone could fill the needwithin her. But that was ridiculous. She was just appreciating the moment. Once they left this planet, their paths would never cross again. She might as well enjoy it while it lasted. She had her own plans when she'd left Earth, and Cael hadn't been part of them.
But what if he could be?
Don't be ridiculous. You can't run off with a reformed alien mobster.
"It looks like you're thinking hard about something." Cael pushed aside a stray hair from her face.
Midori wanted to ask if he was also thinking about the future. Their future and if they had one. Butterflies flitted through her stomach. Funny, she wasn't nervous about getting naked in front of him, but the moment she wanted to talk about her feelings and future plans, her mouth clamped shut, and her nerves took over.
Just ask what he's thinking. At least you'll know. If he just wants this to be a good time for now, you'll know not to let your heart get involved. Just ask!
Cael's eyebrows lifted as he looked down at her with questions in his eyes. Midori's lips parted, the question on her tongue, when a snow-covered mass of hair bounded into the cave and began grunting and barking.
"Pugly! I forgot I sent you outside. Are you okay, boy?"
The pig dog skidded to a stop in front of them, turning his head from side to side as it took in the sight of Midori and Cael wrapped in each other's arms on the floor of the cave. It lifted its snout and sniffed the air.
Then in a rich baritone voice as clear as day it said, "Oh magnanimous hairless one, I've come to warn you—wait—what is that scent? Have you been partaking in coitus? Without me?"
SEVEN
The pig dog lowered his head, dejected, and Cael's arms tightened around Midori's body. He remained unsure of the beast despite Midori's trust in it. However, if the creature so much as looked at her wrong, he'd butcher it for its meat and fur.
"Pugly, you can speak?"
"Yes, beauteous star who guides my path."
Midori turned to Cael, and he noticed the questions in her eyes. "Your translation nanites are picking up on the creature's speech patterns. Or grunt patterns in this case. They are translating them for you. It's possible the creature has some sort of telepathic ability of its own and can understand you as well."
A smile broke across her face, and Cael's heart melted. He loved that such a simple thing made her happy. He'd have to think of other ways she might be pleased.
"That's amazing! Pugly, I can understand you."
She scratched the top of the beast's head, and a look of bliss passed over Pugly's face before he opened his eyes and shook off her hand.
"Yes, effulgent one. I can read your mind and make out your strange tongue as well. Mostly. Unless you just said you want toride me like a canoe, because that's kind of what it sounded like. But I digress—for I came to warn you. A predator is scaling the mountain. I believe it wishes to eat you."
