She stroked the lines on his chest.
He inhaled a breath.
Her hand slid down and followed the carving on his stomach. The Craving charged through him, and he felt the familiar rush of attraction and desire.
More intensely than he'd experienced before. He focused on what she did to savor what he experienced. The light caresses were almost more sensual than the hard rubs he'd felt in the pleasure houses.
Her uncertainty only added to the sensations because he didn't know what she would do.
She slid her hand down his side to his hip. She followed the line where the torso and hip connected to his cock. Yet she paused.
"Explore, Princess."
"I find myself, well, hesitant."
"Because it is all known to you?"
"Just the opposite, I think. Because it's not."
"All the more reason for exploration. To educate yourself."
"Is that your only reason?"
"If I may serve you, Princess, and be of assistance. Whether it is to protect or to educate."
He raised his eyebrow. And made his member bounce.
She squealed and covered her mouth. "You did that on purpose."
He grinned.
"Can it just, uh, move like that?"
"When it's happy," he said.
"So you're happy?" She grazed her hand over his stomach, very close but still not touching him.
"Yes. But I would be happier if you--"
"Did this?" she asked, and her finger stroked him.
He groaned. "Yes. That."
"And what about this?" she asked as she circled the head with her fingertip.
He kept his eyes on hers and stayed perfectly still. Because if he moved too much, he would possibly explode. She drove him that intensely with need.
"You're learning quickly." His words were thick and heavy.
"I have always been curious," she said. "This is much more enjoyable than before."
He reached up and gently touched Eleanor's beautiful face. "Do not think about before."
"Before wasn't much of anything to remember," she said, shrugging her shoulders. "It was very mechanical."
"What is wrong with mechanical? I am mechanical." Yet another person he wanted to punch. Who would not want to make sure she enjoyed the physical experience? Did no one teach Terran males how to treat their female partners?
Her eyes widened, and her mouth fell open. "No. I mean.. Well. That, um. It was uh. There was no--"
