Okay, when he put it that way, I could see why he’d looked at me like I was missing a few screws.

“It was a way to gather information.” Turning me around under the water, he tipped my head back and massaged my scalp with his nubs. “However, as we become bonded, I will no longer wish to touch other humans.”

He paused and then very deliberately lowered his face to mine and studied me. “Do you have questions, my Colby?”

“Can I wash you too?” He performed his Dom-getting-thoughtful sigh with utter perfection. “Thank you for making sure I get breakfast.”

The distraction wasn’t good enough that time. “Human stubbornness is remarkable to see in person.”

“Thank you.” There wasn’t anything else I could say without talking about it, so I didn’t bother trying to be smooth. “Can I have juice for breakfast or is that considered a little thing? Too unhealthy? The human helper guy seems to see a lot of littles based on how he was asking questions last night.”

Utter silence.

More studying.

“A small glass is socially acceptable and provides nutrients.” Saint seemed to have decided to let me be ridiculous because he answered my question instead of calling me out. “They have become more visible to my people.”

He didn’t like that sentence.

“No.” Picking up the shampoo I couldn’t remember having seen last night, Saint took a moment to roll the sentence around in his head as he worked at getting me clean. “They have madean effort…yes…they have made an effort to appear more obvious to my people.”

Oh, that was better.

“That’s a good one.” I tried to be cheerful as I praised him but his nubs started massaging my scalp and made me moan before I could catch it. “That’s good too.”

Saint’s soft laughter made me realize I’d closed my eyes at some point, but I opened them to see what he was up to. “Human bodies are amazing.”

It wasn’t until he looked down at my dick that I realized I was hard again…in my defense, it was starting to become just a regular part of life with him.

“We’ve got a lot of nerve endings up there, and honestly, nearly everything you do turns me on.” Between his constant touching and just knowing how important I was to him, I was pretty sure I was always going to be hard around him no matter what we were doing.

“As is right for human mates, my Colby.” His face shifted into what was definitely a suspicious, raised eyebrow kind of look even though his features weren’t designed for it. “But cleanliness and food consumption take priority.”

Yay.

I was so important to him that he was going to let me be unreasonable.

Best Dom ever.

Chapter 12

Colby

Humans would’ve been staring at me for the obvious walk of shame clothes, but I was betting the aliens didn’t really care about that.

Or the handful of humans who were doing their best not to giggle.

“Please avoid the indulgences of pancakes or waffles. They are easily overconsumed and do not contain enough nutrition.” Saint made a waving motion toward about half the large dining hall and frowned at all the goodies. “Humans enjoy trying to spreadempty caloriesas well asholiday cheer.”

That seemed like something he’d seen in a weight loss ad, so I wasn’t going to give it much attention. “I like eggs and I remember my promise.”

They all remembered my promise based on the half dozen tentacles that all immediately pointed toward the coffee station.

Yep.

The no privacy thing wasn’t something I was going to forget anytime soon either.

“Good boy, my Colby.” Saint wasn’t being subtle at all and caused even more guys to turn in our direction.
