Faron had never imagined a woman as incredible as Kendra would desire him. Here they were, in the middle of his courtship ritual to win her. It was more than he could ever have dreamt of.

Kendra pulled back from their kiss. “I want you.”

“As I do you.”

“I’ve never made love in water.” Kendra glanced around. “We’re all alone. It might be fun to try.”

“Neither have I, but we won’t be making love in here.” He suppressed a smile as he saw the disappointment on her face.

“What are we going to do then?”

“I’m going to cleanse you.” Faron reluctantly stepped away from Kendra’s embrace, already missing the feel of her legs wrapped around him. He pushed through the water and grabbed a bar of creamy soap from the side.

Kendra’s eyes widened as he approached her. “Are you serious? You really want to wash me?”

“There are a lot of things I really want to do to you, and washing is one of them.”

She twisted her mouth to the side. “I can handle a bar of soap on my own.”

“Not like I can.” He licked his lips and gazed at her bare breasts.

Kendra gulped and nodded. “Okay. Let’s do this.”

Faron filled his palms with creamy lather before sliding them over Kendra’s shoulders and arms.

“I’m guessing your cybernetic arm is waterproof.” Kendra’s words came out shaky.

He slowed his cleansing routine. “It is. It does not offend you?” He’d never asked her directly about his arm and if it bothered her.

She shrugged. “Why would it? It’s a part of you.”

He nodded. Of course, that was what he loved about Kendra. She accepted him as he was. His hands slid down to her breasts, and he found himself lost in the softness of her skin and her hard nipples.

She groaned and thumped him on the shoulder. “Stop teasing me. My breasts are not that dirty.”

He chuckled, soaped up his hands, and turned Kendra so her back faced him. He slid his hands down her spine and across the swell of her hips.

She sighed and leaned into his touch.

He shifted closer and lowered his mouth to her ear. “I am not experienced with a human. You must tell me if I do something inappropriate.”

“It all feels inappropriate but in a good way.”

“Tolong females do not find this pleasurable. They partake to examine our commitment to them.”

“How can someone not find this enjoyable?” Kendra gasped as his hand skimmed between her legs.

“Sex is a means to an end.”

“To get your female pregnant?”

“Correct.”

Kendra shifted and turned to face him. Her pupils were dilated, and her lips parted. “You don’t find this pleasurable?”

He pulled her to him. “You are my pleasure. This is something I never imagined could be for me.”

She grinned up at him. “A simple yes would have done.” Kendra took a step back. “Keep soaping me up, gorgeous.”
