I fell back into bed with a smile on my face.
I'd been in a good mood since morning and even celebrated by going to the gym after work and then treating myself to dinner.
Yes, I was exhausted from getting up so early, my body wasn't used to it, but I was still riding the high from the look on Onasal Kort's face when he saw me sitting there this morning.
True, I had been momentarily irritated by his smart response, but after my annoyance had faded, I'd realized that I hadwon.
It was a small interaction, and I really shouldn't be trying to one-up my boss, but damn, it felt good.
Pulling out my phone, I went through my contacts, wanting to tell someone about it.
None of my friends would really get it and we weren't the type to call and chat anyway, usually we just texted to meet up when we needed a catch up. And the only other people who would get it were my work friends and Lloyd had already seen the whole interaction and rolled his eyes at me while Mila from the cubicle on the other side had giggled about the look on Mr. Kort’s face.
At least someone got it.
Sighing, I flipped into the Alien Mates app, seeing that I had a couple notifications. I was surprised. My notifications had more or less dried up since I'd switched my PFP to an artsy black and white photo looking out at the busy street from inside my favourite cafe downtown. The one that made me late every morning.
Oh yeah, I'd been in the middle of chatting with that Krylian last week and had completely forgotten.
I grimaced, realizing that I'd ghosted him in the middle of a conversation. His last two messages werehello?are you here?
Whoops. I felt a bit bad, but truthfully, the conversation hadn't been that interesting anyway...andI was a little apprehensive about quick hookups with aliens ever since thescaley one.
It had seemed like such a fun, adventurous thing to do at the time, but it turned out that not knowing what to expect between the legs was more than a little unnerving in the moment.
I'd shown up and got hot and heavy with the dude straight away even though his scales were a lot colder than I'd expected.Then, by the time our pants were down, and I was panting for it, I'd found out thatitincluded what looked like teeth. Or at the very least fangs that circled the base. And yes, he'd used them to bite into my flesh while he was inside me.
A quick breakdown, followed by a not-so-quick emergency room visit had left me somewhat turned off of dating aliens.
Shivering, I swiped out of theKrylian's DM's which took me back to the main viewing page and another alien's face for me to swipe up or down to.
Despite myself, I found myself swiping.
I could admit that their exotic looks were often a turn-on for me.Maybe I should just ask for pics first, I mused.
My butt clenched in response, and I chuckled. It would be a while before I let anyone near my ass again.
But maybe I could take it slow. I could always just chat with someone first.
No sooner did I think it than a blank profile popped up for someone in my area.
The username made me smile considering what I'd just been thinking about.
MoreThanJustTheHornsdidn't have a proper profile picture. Instead, he'd used a generic picture of the skyline.
Normally I wouldn't give someone the time of day if they didn't have a picture of themselves, but I was in no position to judge.
I clicked on his page and read the brief bio. Hm. He was just looking for friends. Worked for me. I was bored and wanted to chat with someone, so I swiped up for the sake of it.To my surprise, a moment later I got a match. He was online.
I went straight to the messages, already smiling.
More than the horns, huh? I guess that means you're pretty hot.
So much for not flirting right off the bat, but I couldn't help myself.
What makes you say that?
Only the good-looking ones want people to see their inner beauty first ;P
