Page 27 of Tied In Tentacles
“Not too easy, I hope. They quite like your mouth and tentacles, and I never in a million years thought I’d be thinking about balls and tentacles.”
Eteriion carried on laughing, which made Justin smile and hug him. Said tentacles pulled him close, and Justin went willingly into Eteriion’s arms. Eteriion carried Justin to the bed. There was something about having an alien carry him that made him feel almost cherished. So strong, so big, and Justin knew they wouldn’t be leaving the bedroom soon by the hot look Eteriion gave him as he placed him on the bed.
Smiling, Justin held out his arms, and when Eteriion went to him, he lifted his head and took the kiss Eteriion gave him. It would be hard to walk away from this. Very hard.
Chapter Fourteen
Watching Justin sleep calmed a part of Eteriion he hadn’t known existed. He knew he’d felt lonely, had accepted it because of his situation and had believed no human would ever accept him, but now that he had Justin, he didn’t want to let him go. How could someone feel this deeply after only a few days?
Rolling onto his back, Eteriion stared up at the ceiling. It wouldn’t be long until the town rescued everyone trapped in the cabins, including them, and he found he wasn’t so sure if he wanted them to reach him and Justin. He wanted longer with this human. At least they could celebrate Christmas together. After spending the previous day decorating the cabin and the tree, they’d enjoyed a nice evening in front of the fire, and Eteriion had enjoyed continuing to learn what made Justin moan and arch in pleasure. His scent when aroused pushed Eteriion’s own arousal higher, so he’d made sure to keep Justin aroused as often as possible.
He did have one issue.
It was Christmas, and he had nothing to give Justin. He knew all about giving gifts. The humans who had saved him andhelped him adjust to life on this planet had told him about this particular event because children loved it. Some adults too, and Eteriion had seen the happy excited looks on both children and adults when it came to unwrapping the gifts they’d received. He could understand why they enjoyed it. He’d had a good feeling inside when he’d seen how they’d reacted to the small gifts he’d given, so he wanted to do something for Justin.
Talking with him the night before, hearing Justin laugh at the mistakes he’d made, had made him feel good inside. After they had sated their need for one another, Eteriion had brought some drinks into bed, and they’d spent time talking about Eteriion adjusting to life on Earth.
They’d talked most of the following day, as well as learning about each other’s bodies. They’d also celebrated Christmas, laughing and eating and touching, and as the sun crept into the bedroom, Eteriion knew their time would soon be coming to an end. He’d seen more signs of movement in the town and knew they would clear the road to the cabins that day. Once that happened, there would be no reason for Justin to remain in Eteriion’s cabin. They’d fix whatever the problem was with his generator and then he would go back there or go back home. There would be nothing to keep him here because they’d only had a few days together and a few days didn’t make a relationship. Well, not to Eteriion anyway, and not on this planet.
A knock on the door had him lifting his head. Looked like help was there already. Getting out of bed, Eteriion made sure to move quietly so he didn’t disturb Justin, pulled his jeans on, then left the bedroom, shutting the door behind him. He knew whoever was there would be someone who knew who he was, so he wasn’t concerned when he opened the door.
“You survived,” Ged grunted as he walked inside.
“I did.” Eteriion closed the front door and glanced at the bedroom door. “How is everyone?” He had to think of a way to make Ged leave without upsetting the human. “Do you need any help?”
“No, we all made it through, but it isn’t the first time we’ve been hit.” Ged walked over to the sofa and Eteriion noticed the two glasses. Ged looked at them, then at him as the bedroom door opened and a naked Justin stepped out. “Damn!”
Justin froze, flushed bright red, and shot back into the bedroom, slamming the door behind him. “That’s Justin.”
Ged slowly turned to face Eteriion, his lips parted. “He knows?”
“Clearly.” He pointed to his head.
“And you two…” Ged left the question hanging. “You and him…”
“We did.” The bedroom door opened, and Justin stepped through. Fully dressed this time. “This is Justin. He’s staying in the cabin next door, but his generator broke.”
“So, you invited him over, showed him what you are, and had sex?”
“Oh, that happened before I knew he was an alien, and I freaked out when I did find out.” Justin came over to stand next to Eteriion, and Eteriion couldn’t help but let his tentacles trail over Justin’s body.
“You had a meltdown and crawled in the snow,” he reminded him, ignoring the dark look Justin gave him.
“Thanks for reminding me,” Justin muttered. “And there was you with your tentacles waving in the air, trying to convince me you were harmless.” He arched an eyebrow when he said harmless.
“It worked.” Eteriion felt his lips curve into a smile and saw Justin do the same, and knew they would be intimate again as soon as Ged left.
Ged coughed. “I’m still here. Save the sexual stuff until after I’ve gone. I’ll let the guys know you’re safe and happy.”
“Please do. We’ll come down tomorrow for breakfast.”
“Do that or Elise will come here and drag you down.”
“And you boys don’t need anything? I mean, you’re, er, covered?” Ged took his cap off and messed with it. “I mean, er, what you need…”
“We’ve got that covered,” Justin assured him. “But thanks for asking. Has power been restored to everyone in the town?”
“What? Oh yes, it has. Well, you two, er, stay well and warm, and I’ll be going now.” Ged walked to the door and Eteriion hurried over to hold it open for him. Ged paused and gave Eteriion a quick look. “I’m happy you found someone. I know how lonely you’ve felt recently.”
