Nodding to Santa, I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, which actually made him smile wider.
That had my dick getting harder, but I just went back to ignoring it.
“Are both of those options agreeable to you, Sir? I assumed they were but I realized I should communicate with you about that.” Ha. Brought up communication and made Santa even more pleased.
Had his tentacles gotten closer?
“Yes, my human. That is a very good question, however.” His limbs twitched like he wanted to touch me…well, I was hoping he wanted to touch me. “I will not give you choices that I disapprove of without making that very clear.”
The way he said it made me wonder what kind of choices he’d give me where he disapproved of one of my options, but I wasn’t sure it was the right moment to ask complicated questions.
“Thank you, Sir.” There was something else I was supposed to be telling him. Shit. My date choices. “I’m sorry. I’m slightly distracted. I would like to have our date tonight, please.”
Making me wait would be a bad decision…my brain would implode or explode before we made it to next weekend.
Santa carefully nodded in a very human motion, but after a moment, he looked down at himself. “Have I done something unexpected which distracted you?”
Oops.
“No.” I was going to sound like a horny moron if I couldn’t get my brains under control. “Um, just meeting you was unexpected and I’m really excited about our date. And when humans get really excited, sometimes thinking is hard.”
And difficult.
But I wasn’t sure it was the time to make a dick joke, so I kept my stupid humor to myself.
Perking back up, his limbs went wiggly and excited again. “Humans also face difficulties communicating when they are aroused. Verbal exchanges, especially. Is your stimulated state affecting your decision-making and behavior?”
Yes.
God. He knew I was hard.
Shit.
Ugh.
“Yes, Sir.” Denying it would’ve been confusing since he said it so factually and there was no way to tell him no without making things really complicated…or flat out lying to my date…and hopefully new Dom. “It’s making me distracted. I don’t know if I should apologize or just explain it and leave it at that.”
Santa made a show of cocking his head and humming which was so deliberately human I had to fight back a smile. “We will not begin our relationship by apologizing for typically human emotions or behaviors.”
Yeah, that probably wouldn’t be helpful.
At all.
I was going to end up humaning a lot.
“I should also tell you that I am very proud of you for admitting desire. Humans hide that as well.” His tone said that made no sense to him at all, but he was willing to chalk it up to me being a weird alien.
“I’m doing my best to remind myself that lying to you or trying to downplay that wouldn’t be helpful.” It definitelywouldn’t get me an orgasm at the end of the night either. “I know that…individuals like yourself consider being honest and open about what I’m thinking very important.”
Nano, the alien guy who was running IT at the moment, made thatveryclear.
He got really disappointed when anyone lied about why their computer was broken. It’d been hard to handle at first because I didn’t like disappointing people, but it’d gotten easier when he’d started dating someone else in the IT department.
It was much easier to disappoint guys I wasn’t interested in and were taken.
“I am pleased you have already learned that about my species.” Tentacles jerked before he sighed. “I must now ask if I may touch you before I forget the importance of that question. Your arousal is distracting, but humans separate arousal and touch.”
Just because I wanted him doesn’t mean he could touch me.
