“Pff… you… looked so… ridiculous,” he gets out between gasps.
I cross my arms and level a challenging glare at him. “Laugh it up, pal.”
He wipes at the corners of his eyes, still snickering. “I’m sorry. I know it was scary but it was also… kind of hilarious.”
“Har-dee har-har. Let’s see how you feel when you get eaten alive by a mattress,” I grumble.
He studies the destroyed restraints and grimaces. “Looks like I’ll have to explain that and pay for them too.”
“Good riddance. Those things were practically sentient the way they strapped me down so easily.” I glance over at the shelves of toys. “Just so you know, if that double-dicked dildo came at me next, I was going to take my chances out in the storm.”
Najar throws his head back and lets out another bark of laughter that makes me smile.
He grins back. “Who needs toys like that when my tentacles are far more effective?”
I freeze at his words and swallow hard, my already hard dick ready to do a damn cheer routine—T-E-N-T-A-C-L-E-S! Tentacles are the best! Ra-ra! I wanna feel them in my ass!
That smoldering heat from moments ago rekindles in Najar’s eyes, and I foolishly want to give him carte blanche to do whatever he wants to me tonight.
But I cling on to my last shreds of reason and ask him the question I need him to answer for me first.
“Why did you kiss me?”

Our first night on Glacius Major was… eventful. Providing full details would be both too embarrassing and too personal. I shall merely say that Felix and I have come to a new and mutually beneficial understanding.

At first, I’m not sure how I should answer Felix’s question.
Part of me acknowledges that one of the reasons we’re both so aroused right now is likely due to thepheromone gas that still lingers in the room, marked by a cloying scent.
However, I also recognize that’s not the only reason. Our attraction to one another was instantaneous, but I’ve been trying to ignore it.
But after experiencing the unparalleled bliss that came with kissing Felix, I can hold back no longer.
I decide to take a chance and be honest with him.
“I wanted to kiss you,” I admit. “When you were being sucked down into the bed, I didn’t like seeing you so scared and not being able to help you right away. But when I freed you, I felt so much relief that you were safe. All I wanted was to be closer to you and prove to myself that you were fine.”
“And kissing me senseless is how you go about doing that?” he quips with a smirk.
I flush. “That wouldn’t be my response to just anyone, no.”
Felix studies me for a long moment. “So the attraction between usismutual. Man, you have been sending me the most mixed signals.”
I hang my head. “I know, and I apologize. My attraction to you was unexpected and threw me off-balance. I tried to deny it because I know how foolish it would be for us to start up something in the short amount of time you’re going to be with us.”
