“Which ‘thing’ that I’m doing is causing your deepest reaction?” He asked, wanting to learn more.

“Your hand between my legs… if you could just touch me rightthere.” She tried to move, like she just couldn’t help herself. “Please, Xane. It’s rightthere.”

“This?” One claw tapped the little bundle of flesh.

“Oh!”

Xane smirked, because now he’d figured it out. Her hips were rocking against his fingers, seeking out more of the friction he was providing. “This is all you need to find release? Human women are very easy to satisfy.” He’d anticipated hours of work to master this, and instead, she was already melting into his palm.

“Human men sometimes struggle with this part. I have a machine that vibrates, but…” She broke off with a whimper, as he rasped his thumb over her drenched flesh in tight circles.

“You also have sex with robots?”

“I mean… kind of?”

“Well, you now have a husband to give you relief.”

Extraordinary brown curls floated around her face, as she gazed up at him in something like awe.

“I can provide anything you need.” Rtaharions didn’t make promises, but he was making them now. “I will learn anything you wish and be anything you ask me. I will doanythingfor you, Sadie.”

Sadie’s body stiffened, and he felt her tumble over the edge. A wail left her throat, as she arched against him. A look of ecstasy passed over her expression, and she rode the waves of pleasure. Tremors began deep inside of her. He could feel them pulsing against his fingers. Imagining being surrounded by her when those seductive waves began, almost made him come himself.

Sadie went lax in his hold, murmuring contentedly against his shoulder. Xane felt a surge of pride and happiness.He’d done that. Scooping her up in his arms, he carried her into the sleeping chamber. “This was a very valuable lesson, wife.”

“You’re a fast learner.” Her arms looped around his neck, and his heart flipped in his chest. He loved how she trusted him.

The mattresses were still on the floor, and he lay her down, smoothing back her extraordinary hair. “Rest now, so you will have the energy for your next criminal enterprise. I will go check on the Vipri and…”

“No!” She interjected, sitting up on the bed. “You can’tleave. I’m not done teaching.”

“You’re not?” His eyebrows shot up. “This is excellent news, Sadie. Touching you is precisely how I wish to spend the entire afternoon.”

“No, silly. It’syourturn.” She crooked a finger at him, her teeny blunt claw glinting with red paint. “Let’s learn how I can make you come.”

Corono was a planet with plenty of oxygen, but suddenly Xane found it hard to breathe. “You would do that?” He took an unconscious step closer to the mattress.

“Of course.” She gave him a confused look, like she didn’t understand his question. “In a relationship, you have to give and receive caring.”

“My understanding is that most women are not concerned about males’ pleasure, after they have achieved their own.”

“Oh. Well, most men probably deserve that, but you don’t.” She grinned, catching hold of one of his hands. “Come ’ere, big guy. This will be easier if you’re not so much taller than me.”

Xane didn’t even try to avoid her tugging. He dropped to his knees in front of her, because what else could he do? He was on his knees for this woman in every possible way.

Sadie maneuvered closer to him, fiddling with his pants. “How do alien zippers work?”

He caught hold of her hand showing her how to unlace the fastening, trying to keep himself from exploding. Just the brush of her fingers through fabric was almost too much to bear. Xane knew he was going to humiliate himself. It was inevitable.

“I think you’re starting to like me, after all.” She teased, feeling the state of his arousal. “Maybe a lot.”

“I like you a lot.” He agreed in a guttural voice. The words were so inadequate. Rtaharions didn’t rely on words, though. They were people of action. Xane dipped his head to kiss her again, his tongue pillaging her mouth. She kissed him back just as desperately; her perfect body pressed up against his.

Her hand started to slip into his pants, then she pulled back to blink up at him. “Whoa.”

He was different than human males. He could tell by her astonished expression.Xane was losing higher brain functions again, so he wasn’t sure what to say to reassure her. “Are you alright?” He managed to get out.

She blinked and then smiled. “Yeah, for sure. You’re very… proportional, is all.”
