“Of course! Such a lovely lady needs a beautiful neck decoration. Youmusthave one—choose! Choose!”

“Well…” Kara had a strong feeling she ought to walk away, but since he was offering to give her one for free, she couldn’t resist at least looking at the many different colored flower necklaces.

“That one,” she said at last, pointing to a necklace made of velvety midnight blue blossoms. They looked a little like orchids mixed with daffodils and smelled amazing.

“Good choice! A perfect choice!” the vendor exclaimed. He unlooped the chosen necklace from around his arm and draped it around Kara’s neck.

“Oh, thank you—hey!” she exclaimed, because as soon as he finished putting the necklace on her, he grabbed her by the wrist. “Hey, what are you doing?” she demanded, trying to pull away from him.

“You say you no can pay with credits,” the vendor said, frowning at her. “So you pay another way. The way of love, no? The Kiss of Pleasure.”

“Hey! No!” Kara exclaimed. “I no want to pay the way of love. I mean I don’t want to pay that way!” she corrected herself. “Let me go—take the necklace back! I don’t want it!”

“Once you choose it and put it on, I cannot take it back. It is yours and now you are mine, beautiful one!” The vendor started tugging on her wrist again. “Come—let us find a place for you to pay me.”

“That’snotgoing to happen,” a deep, growling voice said.

Kara whipped her head around and saw J’orn standing there, glaring at the vendor.

“What? Who are you to say no to the lovely lady—she wishes to pay with love!” the vendor protested.

“No, she fucking doesn’t. Besides, she’smine!”J’orn’s pale purple eyes flashed red for a moment and he took a step closer so that he was looming over the Paradisian vendor. “Let go of my materight fucking now!”

The vendor dropped Kara’s wrist as though it had burned him.

“Okay, all right!” he said, lifting his hands, palms-up, in a “don’t shoot” gesture. “I not know she is being your wife!”

“Well, she is so go bother someone else before I fuck you up!” J’orn growled.

The vendor cast a last baleful glance at Kara, but it was clear he didn’t want to tangle with the big Kindred. He walked off muttering something about “people who no pay” much to her relief.

“J’orn, I—” she began, but to her surprise, the big Kindred was suddenly kneeling in front of her. “What are you doing?” she said blankly, staring down at him.

“Proving you’re mine so none of the other males in this area bother you.”

And then, to her shock, he was pushing up her dress to get to her white lace panties.

“J’orn! Stop!” she exclaimed, trying to push her dress back down. “Are youcrazy?”

“No—I just know the local customs,” he growled, looking up at her. “If you receive a flower necklace, you have to have a man who’s your mate with you. Otherwise, every male in the vicinity is going to think you’re fair game.”

“What? But that’s…that’s crazy,” she protested breathlessly because he had pushed her dress up again and was nuzzling between her thighs. “What…what are you doing?”

“Kissing your panties to prove you’re mine,” he murmured. Looking up, he caught her eyes with his as he leaned forward and pressed a hot kiss to the white lace fabric. Kara could feel his warm breath against her pussy.

“Is…is that really necessary?” she asked, but she was no longer trying to stop him.

“If you don’t want to get snatched up by some stranger who thinks you’re fucking available, yes.” He kissed her again, more slowly this time. Then he rubbed his rough cheek against the mound of her pussy, his big hands and long fingers encircling her thighs. “Gods, your scent is so fuckinghot, baby!”

“I…I’m not your baby. I’m your boss!” Kara protested.

“Not anymore,” he reminded her. “We don’t work together now—there’s nothing to keep us apart.”

“We can’t…can’t be together like that.Ohhhh…J’orn, are you almost done?” Kara moaned. She was feeling weak in the knees from all these kisses—his breath was so hot and somehow her lace panties seemed to have shifted downward so that her neatly trimmed curls and the top of her pussy slit were exposed.

“I’ll be done in a minute. I have to prove you’re mine,” J’orn growled. Dipping his head again, he began to kiss her exposed mound. He rubbed his cheek against her curls, inhaling deeply again, and then began to kiss her pussy.

Kara felt frozen in place—she couldn’t believe she was allowing this! Especially inpublic. But somehow she couldn’t seem to make him stop…untilshe felt the tip of his tongue slip into her pussy slit and begin sliding downwards to tease her sensitive clit.
