“Oh…” Aleena was still panting. “Why…why does it feel so good?” she asked him. “And why do I feel it down there—between my legs—when you suck my nipples?”

“That’s because everything is connected, baby,” he murmured hoarsely. “When I touch you and taste you, it gets your body ready to make love—do you understand?”

“You mean, ready for you to change the color of my eyes?”

“Mmm-hmm.” He nodded. “And ready to be bred.”

“So that you could plant a baby in my belly?” Her eyes got even wider.

Bear nodded again.

“Exactly. But sex doesn’t always have to be about breeding, you know. It can just be about pleasure, too.”

“Just pleasure? But isn’t that wrong?” she asked uncertainly. “I mean, I thought that, you know, sex was just so a man could change the color of a woman’s eyes and plant a baby in her belly.”

“It’s not wrong to just have pleasure,” Bear told her, frowning. “In fact, you don’t even need a male to touch you to give you pleasure—you can give pleasure to yourself.”

“Oh but…I shouldn’t.” Her cheeks flushed.

“Sure you should,” Bear told her. “Look—show me how you did it before. Show me how you touched yourself before you felt guilty and stopped.”

Aleena nibbled her lower lip—which seemed to be a nervous habit.

“It’s okay, baby,” Bear reassured her. “You can touch yourself. I’m your husband and I’m telling you to,” he added, thinking that might relieve some of her guilt and hesitation.

It turned out he was right. The worry cleared from her lovely face and she nodded.

“All right, my Lord Husband. Would…would you like me to take off my panties so you can see?”

Bear felt his cock throb again. Gods! How was he going to get through this night without breaking his vow? He would just have to hold himself back and let her bring herself pleasure, he told himself.

“Yes, baby—let’s take off those little panties,” he growled softly. “Wait…let me do it.”

Hooking his thumbs through the thin lace sides of the panties, he pulled them down and off her legs. A few moments later, Aleena was settled in his lap, straddling him again, but this time her pussy was completely bare.

The position caused the outer lips of her pussy, which were swollen with desire, to part on their own, giving him a glimpse of her slippery inner folds and the hot little button of her clit.

“Gods!” he groaned. “So fucking beautiful, baby! Go on now—show me how you touched yourself.”

Hesitantly, Aleena slid one hand down and cupped her mound. She moaned softly as her small fingers invaded her sex, slipping inward to caress herself.

“That’s right, baby,” Bear encouraged her. “Pet your sweet little clit—my people call that your ‘Goddess pearl’, you know,” he added.

“Ohhhh!” Aleena’s eyes went half-lidded as she obeyed him and circled her tight little button with her fingertip. “Oh my Bear—why does it feel so good?” she moaned.

“Because the Goddess made that part of you just for pleasure,” he told her. “So it’s all right to touch yourself there, baby—it’s all right to make yourself feel good.”

“I…I never did this before—when…when I tried touching myself,” she panted. “I just…just put my finger inside.”

“Do you want to show me how you did it?” Bear murmured, thumbing her nipple. “Let me see, baby.”

Aleena did as he asked. Moving her hand down, she slid her middle finger deep in her pussy.

“Good girl,” Bear encouraged her. “Does that feel good? Are you nice and tight?”

“Reallytight.” She nodded. “I…I confess I was worried, you know. I was wondering how…how you could fit inside me.” She looked down at the sizeable lump in his trousers and Bear understood. No doubt his size scared her, but he didn’t want her to be afraid.

“You don’t have to worry about that, baby,” he reassured her. “I’m not going to do that to you tonight.”
