She stared into his eyes. “You really want to have sex with me?”
Her question accompanied her fingers tracing random patterns over his chest, making Kader forget how to speak and even think for several moments. Through sheer force of will, he kept his erection from pushing past his sheath, which would bulge his shorts and show Semeera how much he truly wanted sex with her.
He covered her hand with his, halting her motions. Meeting her gaze, he said, “I do, but we cannot now. I have duties to attend to. But tonight…” He let the heat of his gaze relay his meaning.
Semeera’s blush grew, and she ducked her head, sliding her gaze away from his. With a small nod, she said, “Okay. Tonight.”
And then she leaned into him. Kader didn’t know her intentions until she pressed her plump lips to his mouth. His tail thumped the bed several times, drawing her attention.
She pulled away quickly with a worried expression creasing her brow. “What’s wrong?”
He blinked at her several times, opening his mouth but not finding his voice.
“Kader?” Her eyes got big. “Oh, crap. I’m sorry. I did something wrong, didn’t I?”
Her panic snapped him out of his stupor and he held her hand as tight as he dared, to keep her from retreating from him. Sitting up slowly so as not to startle her, he lifted his free hand to stroke the pad of his thumb across her lips. “You did nothing wrong. Such contact is unknown to my people.”
She stared at him in disbelief. “You don’t kiss?”
He shook his head.
“Did you… like it?” Her expression was worried, and she curled the fingers he held against his chest.
He gave her a rueful smile. “Did you not notice my excitement from the way my tail hit the bed?”
“That meant you were excited?”
“In this instance, yes.”
“Oh.” She glanced at his tail and then at his face. “Do you want me to do it again?”
“Yes, very much.”
A pleased smile curved her plump lips as she leaned into him again. And when her lips touched his, he couldn’t help thumping the bed with his tail. That was the only outward indication he allowed himself. Anymore and he would spin Semeera to her stomach and mount her right then.
She passed the edge of her tongue over his lips before she pulled back, staring at him as he stared at her.
Work.
His shift had already started.
Desire could not and should not override his duty. No matter how inane that duty was, especially when pitted against the desire to explore what other ways Semeera’s people had physical intimacy.
In a growling voice, he said, “We will do more of that tonight.”
Semeera giggled with a nod. “Sure thing. I’m glad you like it. Maybe we’ll try a deeper version.”
“Deeper?”
She lifted a single finger and pressed it between his lips, making his eyes go wide. In a husky voice, she said, “Deeper.” She tapped his lips and sat back.
