The call continued to buzz his wrist for a long while, anxiety twisting in his stomach until it finally stopped. Just a couple more days, that was all. He needed to observe Gemini, anyway, if this really was her first heat.
Yes, it was wise to let her stay until he knew for sure. Andifthere was something strange going on, he was obligated to tell her, and help her through it.
Not likethat, of course. But he could be there for emotional support, bring her the food and water she needed, explain the changes that were happening in her body.
He was doing the right thing. Telling her about the call would only worry her, would make her want to return immediately, and that would be a bad idea if she really was transforming into an omega.
CHAPTER 11
GEMINI
“I need to take a shower,”Gemini said, eager to put some space between her and Apodis.
God, she was horny, and waking up in his arms each morning wasn’t helping. The sensation of his tongue and tentacle yesterday had been just a taste, a taste which had only made her ravenous for more, though Apodis had refused to make a move.
“Oh, sure,” he said, clearing the breakfast tray away as she limped toward the door. “I’ll clean up.”
“Thanks,” she said, hurrying to the bathroom as fast as she could.
It wasn’t that things were awkward necessarily, but there was a clear tension straining the air when she was in his presence. She was drenched in sweat, as if she were out in the mistforest instead of thecabin, and she hoped a cold shower would help her get her shit together.
Gemini disrobed quickly, setting the shower’s temperature to 70 degrees and letting the cold water shock her senses. She could only stand it for a minute before she switched to the dryer, the cool air making her shiver.
God, she was a fucking mess. Somehow, she was still starving even after the certified feast Apodis had cooked for her. Was she sick? Had she caught an alien virus? She didn’tfeelsick, but something was definitely up.
Realizing she’d forgotten to bring a change of clothes in, she wrapped a towel around her chest, trying to ignore the cramping in her stomach and the sweat dotting her brow. She just needed to go back to sleep, that was all. She was still injured, and the foraging yesterday had taken it out of her. It all made sense.
Gemini took a deep breath as she headed back to the bedroom, where Apodis must have been because the rest of the cabin seemed empty. When the door whirred open, it took her a moment to comprehend what was happening.
“What are you doing?” she asked, her heart thumping hard as she surveyed the scene in front of her.
“I, uh, I was just folding the laundry,” Apodis stammered, his eyes wide with shock.
“It doesn’t look like you’re folding laundry,” she said, still frozen in her spot but unable to look away.
Apodis sat on the edge of the bed with his hand on his hard cock, her black panties wrapped around it like a glove.
Holy shit. He was jerking off… with herpanties. The scene should have been disturbing, but all it did was swell the arousal burning in her core. So fucking hot. He was so turned on by her he was using her panties to pleasure himself. Was he imagining it was her mouth? Her cunt?
Any potential placating effects from the cold shower were nullified in an instant, her body begging to be used by the gorgeous alien male and his big alien dick.
“I’m sorry,” he said, flushing a deep maroon and tossing her panties to the ground.
As if that helped the matter.
He attempted to cover himself, but she’d seen enough—a hard ultraviolet cock with intriguing lines of bumps along the top and bottom and a thick bulge at the base.
“Don’t be sorry, Apodis,” Gemini said, dropping her towel to the ground and limping over to the bed.
The way he raked his gaze over her naked body made her tremble, like he was ready to devour her—just like he’d done at the river yesterday.
“Gemini…” he warned, but she was long past caring about decorum or caution.
What was so bad about fucking your friend?
She kneeled in front of him with her hands behind her back, suddenly so eager to please she thought she might spontaneously combust if she didn’t get a taste.
In a flash of movement, Apodis fisted a knot of her hair, making her scalp tingle with pleasurable delight. She enjoyed the sweet, sensitive demeanor of the alien male, but the way he asserted his dominance was titillating, jerking her head back as he exposed himself.
