Ellis fell asleep while I was still inside him, and I took that as a compliment. His responsiveness and willingness to submit—with some encouragement—made us an excellent match. I desperately hoped he would remember that about us once I was brave enough to explain that we were mates. For the moment, though, I could avoid the discussion and focus instead on cleaning us both.
He was deliciously tight, and I moaned as I withdrew from him. The corner of his mouth twitched like he was smiling in his sleep. I kissed his forehead before wiping the tears from his temples with my thumbs. What a gift Ellis was. He gave his whole self over to me. Trusted me completely. Knowing that filled me with so many emotions, I didn’t know what to do with them. Clearing my throat, I pushed up and away from him.
And had to take a moment to look him over. The metal rings through his nipples and cock were something I was going to have to spend a great deal more time exploring. For some reason, I also had an urge to decorate him further. Maybe a chain connecting each of the rings? Hmm, I’d have to think about that.
I got a cleansing cloth and scrubbed at my abdomen before getting another one and wiping off my cock. With a fresh cloth,I gently swiped at Ellis’s chest and abs to clean him of his own spend. Then, after retrieving a tube of salve with nanobots specifically coded to aid in recovering from vigorous or frequent mating, I put on another glove and set about applying it to the rim and just inside Ellis’s hole.
He moaned and pulled his legs back, opening himself up, as his arms slithered up over his head again. I chuckled at how well he obeyed my unspoken commands even in sleep. But now that he was clean and medicated, I rolled him onto his side and cuddled in behind him. He moaned again and rubbed his nose into my arm under his head. When he stilled again, he was breathing in my fur. Could I assume my scent had an effect on him, too? I buried my nose in his short hair and let the smell of my mate lull me to sleep with him.
I couldn’t say how long I slept, but I opened my eyes to find Ellis turned toward me and stroking up along one of my ears. It twitched involuntarily, and he met my gaze with a sheepish expression.
“Sorry,” he said with a little wince.
“You can explore me. Just make your touch firmer. That tickled.”
He huffed a laugh before focusing on my ear and biting his bottom lip. The way he gripped and stroked this time felt erotic, like he was holding my cock, and reawakened my desires. In a moment, Ellis looked down my body and then back up at my face to grin at me.
“That didn’t tickle,” I said.
“I noticed.” He stroked my ear again, stretching up to reach the very tip. “How are you even softer here?”
Since he seemed to be in a mood to explore, I got off the bed and held my hands out. “Go ahead,” I encouraged. “Touch whatever you wish.”
He bit his bottom lip and got up. I stayed still as he moved around behind me. A moment later, I flinched as I felt his hands grab my tail.
“It’s so fluffy!” he practically yelled.
I blinked several times before looking over my shoulder at him. “You have free access toanypart of me, and you choose to grab my tail and exclaim over its texture?”
He let me go, putting his hands behind his back, and cleared his throat. “Uh. Yeah.”
Maybe the fact that he didn’t have such an appendage made mine special for him? “Well, you can touch my tail whenever you wish.”
Ellis snorted, grinning. “Yeah, that’s something I should only do in private.”
I turned around and was about to ask him why when I realized his cock was fully erect as well. From holding onto my tail?
“Don’t even ask me why,” he said with a hand up as if to stop me. “I don’t know the answer. It’s just that your fluffy bits,” he said as he waved his hand, indicating all of me, “ just do it for me.”
My fluffy bits? Ears, tail— Oh. The parts that made me not human. He enjoyed and was most attracted to what made me Norlon. That was interesting. Yes, I liked that. “I like your non-fluffy bits best as well.”
Ellis came in close and wrapped his arms around me. He pressed his face between my pectorals and breathed deeply. I could rest my chin on top of his head and did so as I held him in return.
How did one break it to their brand-new mate that they were a mate? I’d seen the end result of several friends having found human mates by now, but I’d never asked any of them how they’d gone about revealing the situation. I understood thathumans didn’t find their mates like Norlons did. Ellis might enjoy the way I smelled, but it was possible that my scent didn’t inform him of my emotional state any more than it told him I was his fated, life-long companion.
Humans trusted their hearts.
Perhaps I needed to woo him like I would someone who was not my mate but whom I was attracted to and wished to form a connection with? I’d done that before. None of those relationships had lasted very long, but I’d thought they were good ones. Yes, I could woo Ellis and thus engage his heart. Once I accomplished that, it might be natural to reveal our mated status and not cause him any upset.
I was about to suggest dinner on the observation deck when Ellis’s hands roamed down my back and over my ass. Dinner could wait. But when he returned to holding onto my tail, I had to hold my breath to keep from laughing. Of course, that was easier to do when he shifted over just enough to straddle my thigh and frot against me.
He looked up at me and went still. “Oh. Um, sorry. I didn’t?—”
I grabbed him back when he stepped away. “That my tail arouses you so much confuses me, but I don’t dislike it or any other fetish you have for me.”
He relaxed against me. “Fetish, actually, is a good word for it.”
