He’s a handsome male. Neat braids atop his head with the rest of his hair hanging loose in back, strong facial features, and well-defined muscles along his arms, chest and down his torso to his thick legs. Every part of him toned. He carries himself with pride and confidence and moves strategically. He’s beautiful.
“You approve, female?”
My cheeks flush when I realize I’m staring at his cock. With one finger, he tips my head up to meet his eyes.
“The universe wouldn’t give you to me if we could not fuck.”
Beautiful… yes. Eloquent…no.
That thought makes me laugh, which causes him to tilt his head. I guess he doesn’t understand me any better than I understand him. But we have time.
Have I just decided to stay?
He grips my chin, holding my face so I cannot look away. “Do you still fear me, female?”
Atox isn’t a charmer, but he has a unique quality to him—a gruff honesty—that I am beginning to appreciate. Good or bad, he speaks his mind.
I run my hand over his hip to his massive thigh. The size of his muscles, the power of them, astounds me. Nothing about this male is weak.
And he thinks I’m his match.
Another shiver wracks me, though I’m not sure if it’s from the cold or the trauma. When I sway, Atox lifts me, carries me to the head of the bed, and lays me down.
The bed dips considerably when he lies down beside me andcurls around me before pulling a fur over us. That huge cock brushes against my ass. I want to laugh, but more than anything, I want to feel warm again. And safe.
I snuggle close to him, pressing my backside against him, no longer caring that we are both naked. Blessed heat warms me like he’s my personal space heater. Except better. This one holds me close, makes me feel treasured.
And that cock is no longer soft. But it’s resting against my lower back. He doesn’t press it between my ass cheeks. Not tonight.
“Finish your story, female. You decided against escaping in the cart. Why?”
“When I think of returning to Earth, it feels wrong. I guess I think of Kovos as my home now.”
“Kovos, or here, with me?”
“We still don’t know each other.” My reply, my deflection, feels dishonest, but something has changed between us and I want to understand it before I decide my path.
When I turn to face him, I find Atox’s face is tight. I do something I’d never done before. I run my finger along his lower lip. The softness there amazes me because nothing else on this male is soft, from the tough skin to the hard muscles that press against me every time he holds me close.
I sit up, holding the fur up to cover my breasts as I take all of Atox in. Despite the green skin, massive body, and tusks, he’s no monster. He’s just… Atox. And I long to see the man beneath the gruff exterior.
He deserves a chance.
I guess we both do.
“Perhaps we should get to know one another better,” I suggest. I’m no longer cold, but my entire body pulses with a need I haven’t felt toward him before.
Atox’s nose flares. “You tempt me, female, but you need rest. Lie down.”
“With or without the fur?” I drop the fur and expose my breasts.
The growl that echoes through the room sails to my lower half, but then my teeth chatter again.
“Under the furs. Now.”
Despite my decision to explore this growing attraction between us, my eyelids feel like lead weights. Atox pulls the fur over me as I return to my previous position, snuggled against his side. He curls his arms around me and lays his splayed hand over my abdomen, below the bruises. So warm. He really is the best heater in the universe.
“Sleep, female.”
