Page 14 of Tomlin

“We don’t have to continue if you don’t want to,” she said quietly.

“What? No, I don’t want to… stop.”

Despite his assurances, he had retired to bed almost immediately after they’d finished eating and he’d cleaned the kitchen. She refused to admit she was disappointed by his abrupt departure and had tried to settle down and read instead but her thoughts kept returning to him. After reading the same page for the fourth time, she finally decided to give up and follow his example.

Unfortunately changing her location didn’t quiet her mind. After tossing restlessly for a while, she decided to take a bath, hoping that would help her sleep. She opened the door of the lab just in time to hear the front door close. Her breath caught as she padded quietly down the hall and looked out through the window. He was standing just in front of the porch, stripped down to a very brief pair of black shorts.

The moonlight highlighted every muscle of his sculpted body and she felt a distinct pulse of excitement low in her body. His skin seemed to shimmer with a slight blue tinge as he stretched briefly then took off. He ran far more rapidly than a human man, those powerful muscles flexing in a breathtaking symphony of power and grace as he quickly disappeared from view. No wonder he’d been able to travel to the stream and back.

After staring at the spot where he’d disappeared for much too long, she returned to her original plan. The bathroom was the one frivolous addition to her home. She’d come as close as possible to her bathroom in the city with a huge tub, an equally large shower, and a selection of especially imported bath salts and gels. The walls and floor were in a dark polished wood toreflect her surroundings and the tile work was a soft, soothing green.

She filled the tub with hot water and her favorite scented gel and tied up her hair before sinking into the water with a happy sigh. Taking off her glasses, she settled back against the wall of the tub and tried to relax. Instead the image of Tomlin’s almost naked body kept floating through her mind and she felt just as restless as she had in her bed.

She found herself wondering what it would be like to touch those muscles, to run her hand over all that smooth, exposed skin. Heat pulsed through her lower body again and she suddenly realized she wasn’t restless - she was aroused. She’d recognized long ago that despite her lack of interest in men, her body had certain physical needs, and she had learned to pleasure herself as quickly and efficiently as possible.

As she went through the familiar movements, she let herself think about Tomlin and this time her imagination went further, her hands sliding beneath those black shorts to cup that perfect ass and cradle what she was sure was an enormous erection. She gave a soft cry as her climax swept over her, but tonight it wasn’t followed by the usual feeling of relaxation. She still felt hot and… needy.

Sighing, she gave up the hope of relaxing and decided she might as well return to work. She washed quickly, then rose to her feet. As she did, the door flew open and Tomlin was there. His eyes immediately glowed that bright, unnatural blue. He made a choked sound and gripped the doorframe. A giddy feeling of excitement swept over her at the hungry look on his face but she did her best not to let it show as she reached for a towel.

“You can leave now.”

“I cannot.”

His voice came out strained and hoarse, rather than his usual smooth, deep voice.

“Why not?” she asked as she finished wrapping the towel around herself and reached for her glasses.

“I do not wish to… alarm you.”

“Do you intend to do something more alarming than walking in on me while I’m naked and then refusing to leave?”

Her voice came out sounding remarkably composed.Why am I not afraid, she wondered. Perhaps it was the lingering aftereffects of her climax but she felt an odd kind of excitement, a pulse of heat low in her stomach that she had never experienced before.

As everything came into focus, that unexpected flare of excitement only intensified.

He was gripping the doorframe so tightly that his knuckles had turned white, and the muscles in his arm were sharply delineated. His skin was covered with a fine sheen of what she assumed was perspiration, but it only emphasized his muscular physique. The blue shimmer she’d noticed earlier was caused by a fine tracery of blue lines that covered his skin, and she watched in fascination as they started to intensify, beginning with his heart, and spreading up and over his shoulders and down his arms.

They also traveled down across the ridges of his abdomen, before disappearing beneath those very tight-fitting black shorts. It took her a moment longer to realize that they were stretched over a massive erection.Oh my.

Although she was aware that penile sizes varied, he seemed to be well outside the norm. Or perhaps it was due to his alien heritage. Based on her one experimental encounter with a member of the opposite sex, his species must be considerably more well-endowed than human men.

“The average human male erection was only six inches. You seem to have exceeded that number by a considerable amount,” she said thoughtfully.

He made an odd choking sound, and it took her a moment to realize it was a laugh.

“You’re standing naked in your bathroom before an extremely aroused male, and all you can think to comment on is the size of my erection.”

“I’m no longer naked, and besides, I’m sure you have seen many other naked females before.”

“No.”

The clipped response made her give him a shocked look.

“You mean you’ve never…”

“No.”

He clearly did not want to discuss it so she returned to the subject of his erection, determined to satisfy her curiosity.
