“Close enough,” Stephenie nodded. Okay, now they were getting somewhere. It wasn’t much, but at least they knew each other’s names.
Ee-rah appeared to smile, his lips stretching across his face in a frightening grin that emphasized his small, bottom tusks. It was quite terrifying, actually.
“Where are we?” Stephenie tried again, gesturing around the cabin.
Ee-rah’s smile fell, and he cocked his head to the side in confusion.
Stephenie dropped her hands to her sides. There was no point in pushing it. Maybe she would never know where she was…maybe she would never know how to get back home. She supposed she could try to run again, but what if she ran into another one of her buddies from before and Ee-rah wasn’t there to save her? The thought was terrifying.
This alien creature in front of her was her only lifeline right now.
Maybehecould help her get home, or at the very least get her some answers as to what the hell was going on… If she wanted any chance at escape, she needed to keep him close. He had saved her once already for whatever reason.
He was still staring at her, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
She felt the beginning of a plan forming.
She needed his help.
And she would do anything to get it.
Chapter 4
“Ee-rah,”Stepheniesaid after a beat had passed between the two. “Why don’t you come sit next to me?” She gestured towards him and patted the bed beside her.
He hesitated, and the curious sparkle returned to his shockingly blue eyes. When she patted the mattress again, he came forward and sat beside her.
What the fuck am I doing? She thought to herself as she settled herself in a way, so she was facing the alien creature sitting beside her. With him being so close, she could finally give him a good once over. His body was much larger than a human male’s; his arm muscles were almost twice the size of her head, but they fit his height and build well. With the two of them sitting down, the top of her head came up to his shoulders, which were just as lean and muscular as the rest of him. He was… inhuman, but only just. Now that she had a level head, Stephenie could see the similarities between the two far outweighed their differences. In fact, if you over looked the tail, the horns, and the blue skin, he was basically just a really tall guy… Okay, a really, REALLY tall guy.
She wasn’t sure exactly what he was wearing, but it looked to be some sort of loincloth. His chest was bare, revealing his large pectorals and chiseled abs. She hadn’t noticed before how fit he was… Well, hell. That’s to be expected. She was kind of too busy freaking out at the sight of him to really check him out.
Look, Stephenie was not a stranger to using sex for leverage. If you had seen the way she had grown up… Well, then you’d probably understand a lot more. The point is, this was not her first go round when it came to using her body to get what she wanted. Not that she wanted to think about that right now. No, it was best to just let her body take over and her mind to go to her happy place- that was a trick her mom had taught her years ago. Granted, this time was a little different than any of the other times…
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.What if he didn’t have sex the same way humans did? What if he was disgusted and repulsed by her? What if he got offended and killed her right then and there? She imagined the look he would give her and how he would pick her up and break her in half across his knee, blood trickling out of her mouth and her eyes staring blankly ahead…
Stephenie took a deep breath and forced her disturbing, intrusive thoughts away. She didn’t have many options, and this was something she wasgoodat…
She reached forward and placed her hand on his large bicep, gently rubbing up and down his long arm. His muscles were hard beneath her fingertips, and she couldn’t stop the startled sound that escaped between her lips. He was so, so much stronger than her. She felt dwarfed next to him. He could so easily break her if he wanted to…
Why did the thought turn her on?
His eyes met hers as she softly caressed, carefully sliding down to grasp his hand in her own. The intensity of his gaze caused Stephenie’s breath to catch in her throat.
Her brow furrowed when she felt how strange his fingers felt between her own, and when she finally broke his gaze to glance down at their entwined hands, she saw he only had four fingers- his pinky was missing.
That was…odd, but not altogether unappealing, she guessed.
“Do you know how to kiss?” She found herself asking, slowly leaning forward. She had to tilt her head upward to even try to reach his lips. When she got close enough to touch, he jerked back in surprise and frowned down at her. “I guess that answers that question.” She mumbled to herself.
This was going to be more difficult than she thought. Hell, this was nothing like trying to seduce some human man back home. That was simple.
“Fuck it,” she sighed and stood up. She dropped his hand and stood in front of him.Here goes nothing…She lifted her shirt above her head and tossed it on the ground, and her bra quickly followed suit.
Ee-rah sucked in a deep breath through his large teeth, and his eyes zeroed in on her exposed breasts.
“Now we’re getting somewhere,” Stephenie said, triumph peppering her tone. “All men are the same.” She rolled her eyes at that, knowing there was no way he could understand her. She did a little jiggle, bouncing her large tits as she did so. She had always been blessed with large breasts. She used to think they were a curse, especially when her mom realized she could use them to get free… Well, none of that mattered anymore. Stephenie shook her head. Now she could see the blessing they truly were. Minus the back aches, of course.
Ee-rah whispered something in his language, and his eyes moved up from her exposed tits to Stephenie’s face. She may not speak his language, but she understood him. She reached forward and grasped both his hands in her own and placed them directly on her breasts. While large for a human, they fit perfectly in his hands.
