His expression hardened. “It was not acceptable?”

“The water and massaging were out of this world. But the sex was...” She had no clue how to say it without offending him. It was not good.

Faron dropped his chin to his chest and kneeled in front of her. “I have failed you.”

“No! You haven’t failed. I was never testing you.” Kendra sat up swiftly. “It was unexpected. And fast. I’m used to a slower pace, more interaction, maybe even an orgasm if I’m lucky.”

He kept his head down. “You had one of those.”

Kendra held back her frustration. “I did. It was great. What would have been even more amazing was if I’d orgasmed with you inside me.”

Faron raised his head slowly, surprise in his eyes. “That is possible?”

“Yes! Not always easy but very doable.”

He grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it. “Tolong females do not like the sex act to last long. The quicker the better. We can mate five or six times a night. It increases the chance of conception.”

“Which is great if you’re looking to conceive, but we’re not.” Kendra pulled his hand to her mouth and kissed it, just as he’d done to her. “We are getting to know what we both like. Do you enjoy fast sex and for it to be over quickly?” She had to hope the answer would be no.

Faron’s brows drew together. “It is all I know.”

“Do you want to try something else?”

“Will it make you happy?”

“I’m certain it will make me ecstatic. I don’t want to force you, though.”

“You force me to do nothing. My desire is for you to be happy.”

Kendra let out a relieved sigh. “Well, then, how about that dance you’ve promised me then we can go for round two?”

“Round two?”

“More sex, less pounding.”

He pressed a hand over his heart before kissing her. Without a word, Faron stood and stepped back. He bowed to her.

Oh, boy, what would this dance be like? Please, be amazing.

“I do not have my thong or my paint. I had planned to dance for you in my room. In fact, I had planned to dance for you before the first mating, but your need seemed so desperate that I wanted to satisfy you first.”

“I appreciate your dedication to my desperation.” Kendra glared at him, but it was half-hearted. He was making a huge effort to please her. It was more than most guys would have done.

“I shall fetch my thong.”

“No! I can see everything better without it. It will make it easier to see that you are perfect for me.” She hoped that was the right thing to say. From the swell of Faron’s chest, it had not offended him.

“Computer, play movement thirteen from the Tolong archive.”

Kendra jumped as a heavy drumbeat began. She watched, barely breathing, as Faron moved. He started slowly, his body shifting with each beat of the drum.

The pace quickly increased as he shimmied his shoulders and chest in isolation. His muscles bunched and flexed, and his hips shifted, thrusting slowly backward and forward.

Kendra swallowed, unable to take her eyes off those hips. That was the movement she desired. That was how she wanted Faron to make love to her.

She found herself moving to the music herself, her gaze pinned to Faron as he thrust and displayed for her. She couldn’t deny it wasn’t odd, but it was a hundred times better than any moves she’d seen in a club. Faron had some seriously sexy shimmies going on.

After watching the dance for several minutes, she’d seen enough. He was everything she wanted. Faron was quirky, blunt, sometimes rude, but always looking out for her. It was time she did the same for him. Faron needed to know how amazing sex could really be.
