duty. Even when that’s releasing his sexual needs. I shouldn’t want him so badly, but I do. I know when he finally takes me, I won’t be just lying there while he ruts between my legs for his own pleasure.
His touch and scent are magical—sensually electric. I long to ride him hard. Heat flushes my whole body. I’ve never wanted to have sex with someone as badly as I want it with him.
So far he’s been a big tease. Am I just a toy he wants to tease? I shudder when I remember the feel of his solid cock pressed against me. That thought makes me feel better. Yes, he wants me.
I stretch and then force myself to get out of bed. Din Tairin briskly showed me how to run the household devices. I’m not certain about all of them but I’m pretty sure I can figure them out.
I hate to bother him when he’s in his office. Which is where he’s spent a lot of time.
Going to the bathroom, I quickly take care of my morning needs. I’m mindful of the toilet water. I almost had a stroke when I found out that it burns human flesh. I was assured the bowl is designed to be splash-proof and so far that seems to be true. Still. I’ll be keeping an eye on it.
This is such a strange place.
I walk past a yellow purrdot flower and grin when it leans toward me. I stop for a moment and let the plant take in whatever it enjoys from me scent or essence. Some of the strange things around here are wonderful.
As I enter the kitchen, I hear my alien’s voice. A shiver dances down my spine. “Okay, most of the strange things around here are wonderful,” I whisper as I look in the pantry and retrieve some breakfast.
His growls. His frustrated tone carries over to me as I eat. Din Tairin must be on a conference call. Somebody or something irritates him a lot. But he never takes it out on me. He’s proving to be a good guy.
Once I finish eating, I start on feeding the plants. They are fun and interesting to watch. The brist always wiggles when I water it. That blue vine can really get down. I look out and see that the sun is already totally visible. I continue to work. Taking care of the plants is important for the air quality. I move on to the next plant. I have to stay useful.
I shudder at the unwanted thought of Din Tairin getting rid of me.

After eating my dinner alone since my big alien only eats once a day, I clean up and head into the living room.
My heart speeds up when I see Din Tairin sitting on the couch. He waves me over. My nerves tingle as I get closer to him.
Once I reach him, he pulls me down onto his lap. I squeak and he laughs. It’s a rich sound that does something to my heart.
“I ordered you some uniforms and other necessities. They will be in tomorrow.”
Warmth ribbons around my chest. That’s so sweet of him. “Thank you.”
He rests his hand on my thigh causing a shiver to run through me. “It was nothing.” He looks deeply into my eyes. I feel snared by his gaze. “Now it’s time for you to learn a little more about your new planet.”
“I love learning about Zaphin.” This is a wonderful place. Except for the crowdocs, of course. Meanass birds. So unnatural to the vision I carry of birds.
“Time for some basic information. We have fifteen moons in a year. Twenty-two days in a moon. You can also call it a moon cycle. Whichever you prefer. There are thirty hours in a day.”
When he pauses, I go over the information and try to memorize it. If I’m going to be living here for the rest of my life, I need to get this down. Time is a good start. I look him over and he gives me a fanged smile.
“Ask your question, seema.”
I try not let his sexy voice distract me. It’s hard though. I finally nod. “How old are you? I’m twenty-two.”
“I’m one hundred and sixty-one.”
My eyebrows shoot up and he laughs. I love that sound.
