Perhaps he’d been expecting Noh all morning! Expecting him to come out because he knew Noh was more light tolerant now. Jamie knew their evening had been enough.

Oh, Noh had the most clever, most perfect mate!

His attention snapped back to Jamie poking at his screen. To the reason he’d wanted to test his light tolerance in the first place.

Right now Jamie was looking at something on his phone, and no doubt expecting Noh to be paying attention. The last thing Noh wanted to do was disappoint him. His mate had done so much for him already, and Noh needed to make sure he was providing in return.

He kept himself transparent, as not having a solid form did help the light be less hot against him, and tucked himself up against Jamie’s back.

Sure enough, on the screen, Jamie was looking once more at erotic things. Pleasure zipped down Noh’s spine. Jamie had been waiting on him to catch up.

On the screen were images similar to the tentacled ones. Similar but different.

Noh peered at it closely. The Humans were all bound up in the images, but it wasn’t with the fleshy arms of a creature. It was done in some sort of braided rope. This rope was twisted together in intricate, pretty patterns. It wound around the Humans’ arms and legs and torsos, and even sometimes across their mouths, pushing between their lips.

Noh watched as Jamie went through page after page, and like with the tentacles, they all began to run into a theme. Jamie liked the ones where the Human was bound head to toe. Where they look so tied up Noh didn’t think they would even be able to move a muscle.

He liked the ones with the pretty braided spreads of rope across the torso or back.

The rope, Noh thought, wasn’t crude or garish, but beautiful. Did Jamie want to be beautiful like that? His mate was already the most stunning Human he’d ever seen, but in ropes like that…!

When Noh peeked around, he could see the flush on Jamie’s face. He watched Jamie’s hand move between his legs, touching himself where he was already aroused.

Noh crept closer, all his eyes trained on Jamie. His mate looked edible, ready to be ravished. Did Jamie want Noh to please him right now? Did he want Noh to bind him up all prettily, like a beautiful little gift?

Noh.

As if answering his question, Noh’s name dropped from Jamie’s plush mouth. Noh felt it like a live wire through him, better than the tastiest electricity. His mate said his name again.

Oh!

Jamie was so wonderful, so bold and unafraid to tell Noh exactly what he wanted. To show Noh how to best please him. He wanted this, wanted it now, and Noh was helpless but to obey.

It flustered him though. Noh didn’t know very much about this intricate rope binding, and hadn’t had any time in the night to study or experiment.

But his mate was asking. Noh wasn’t going to fail.

He plundered his mind for any knowledge he may have acquired on anything similar.

And came up with only one thing. The only other place Noh had seen such intricate weavings were the small creatures that shared the under the bed space with him sometimes.Spiders, that was what the Humans called them. Their little bodies made a silken rope and they spun it into all sorts of beautiful arrangements.

Noh, in the long, boring hours stuck in the apartment before Jamie, had spent plenty of time studying their webs. He’d spent entire afternoons watching spiders weave them, and his brain had cataloged all of that.

He might not yet know how to do those beautiful rope bindings that Jamie was looking at, but he could do something. He had the knowledge of how the spiders wove their webs, and maybe that would be good enough?

The next time Jamie slept, Noh could slip out and better research this. Now that he wasn’t bound to the apartment, Noh could go and find information sources. Humans had whole buildings of things like that, he knew.

Or since he was now able to bear the screen of Jamie’s electronics, Noh could try to use them. Look further into these photos.

He shrank back away from Jamie into the shadows, pulling himself together in the far corner of the room as he sifted through his memories to get the information that he needed. It would not be exactly what Jamie had just been looking at, but he could do close. He could satisfy his mate, he knew it.

So he drew himself a body that was shaped in the spinning spider's image. He figured if he looked the part, then maybe Jamie would be amused and forgive him that this was the only type of rope weaving Noh knew how to do.

Noh gave himself long, long spidery legs, a spider body, even their furred feet. With all of his energy, his body ran from the floor to almost the ceiling.

Jamie’s head snapped up immediately. Noh felt that electric flutter through him, the excitement, the anticipation. He could hear Jamie’s heart already pounding, his breathing elevated.

Noh fairly trembled with eagerness to please. Jamie wanted Noh, perhaps wanted him as badly as Noh wanted Jamie. He was ready for Noh to give him what he desired.
