Holy stars! Faron had restraint. Kendra had felt his cock against her inner thigh when she’d been thrusting against his hand. All she’d wanted was to feel him inside her, but still, he held back. She wanted to hate his iron will and adherence to ritual, but she couldn’t. She’d never felt more turned on in her life, and that orgasm had almost made her pass out. Knowing he was watching her as she pleasured herself on his hand was so sexy.

The real thing was going to be even more incredible.

But the delicious torture would continue for a while longer before she got what she needed. Kendra watched as Faron covered his hands in oil. He stepped between her feet, a glint in his eyes.

“Are you ready?”

“Oh yeah! Oil me up,” she said.

He started on her feet, his warm fingers covering every inch as he worked up her calves. This guy gave an awesome massage. Just when things were getting interesting, and his oiled fingers moved to her inner thighs, Faron stopped.

“Wait! That’s it?” Kendra’s sigh was one of frustration. Another orgasm was beneath the surface, despite Faron’s hands not touching her clit, and he was stopping now.

He smiled. “You are so impatient. If it helps, use this time to assess my effectiveness and care for you. It will give you something to focus on.”

“I don’t want to assess any of that. I want you to—” Kendra stopped herself. This was for Faron just as much as it was for her. It was important to him, and she’d have to curtail her horniness for a little longer.

Her eyes widened as she watched Faron tip oil over his torso and rub it across his skin. “What are you doing that for?”

“This is a full body massage.” He leaned over her thighs. “That means I use my body to massage you.” He slid his chest up her thighs, over her stomach, and across her breasts, coating her in oil.

Kendra’s breath hitched as his mouth met hers and their tongues collided. She could taste the oil he used on their skin and felt Faron pulsing against her, constantly moving so their slick skin slid against each other.

He repeated the movement three times, each time stopping for more breath stealing kisses. He moved down her body and then rolled Kendra onto her front.

She tried to resist, but he flipped her without trying. “I’m all massaged out. That was great.”

Faron slid up her body and kissed the side of her neck. “Almost but not quite.”

Kendra thumped her forehead against a towel. “How do Tolong females not get off on this?”

“It is not in their nature.” He moved down her body, pausing to kiss the flesh at the base of her spine. “I would also not be kissing.”

“You don’t kiss?”

“We kiss but not like this. Not the body. Do you like it?” His breath tickled her inner thighs.

“It’s perfect.” Kendra groaned as he moved back down her legs and away from the ache between her thighs.

After the third swipe of his hard, muscled chest down her back, Faron stopped.

Kendra raised her head, wondering what he had planned next. She wanted him. She had to have him inside her.

His gaze met hers. “Are you ready?”

“For...”

“For me to take you.”

Kendra sucked in a breath. “Yes.” The word came out as a whisper.

She bit back a yelp as Faron grabbed her hips. He raised her up, pushed her legs apart and entered her in a single push.

She was glad she was so turned on and such a liberal amount of oil had been used. Faron was huge, and that thrust had almost pitched her to the ground.

Kendra clung to the bench as Faron pounded into her. He was not taking things slowly. If he didn’t slow the pace, this would all be over in seconds.

Faron grunted. His fingers tightened on her hips, and he exploded inside her.

Kendra pressed her lips together. What the hell had just happened? How could he go from loving and tentative one minute to pounding into her like she was a piece of meat?

Faron withdrew, and Kendra flipped over and stared at him.

“Are you happy?” he asked.

She blinked in surprise. “Are you kidding me?”

His expression hardened. “It was not acceptable?”

“The water and massaging were out of this world. But the sex was...” She had no clue how to say it without offending him. It was not good.

Faron dropped his chin to his chest and kneeled in front of her. “I have failed you.”

“No! You haven’t failed. I was never testing you.” Kendra sat up swiftly. “It was unexpected. And fast. I’m used to a slower pace, more interaction, maybe even an orgasm if I’m lucky.”

He kept his head down. “You had one of those.”

Kendra held back her frustration. “I did. It was great. What would have been even more amazing was if I’d orgasmed with you inside me.”

Faron raised his head slowly, surprise in his eyes. “That is possible?”

“Yes! Not always easy but very doable.”

He grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it. “Tolong females do not like the sex act to last long. The quicker the better. We can mate five or six times a night. It increases the chance of conception.”

“Which is great if you’re looking to conceive, but we’re not.” Kendra pulled his hand to her mouth and kissed it, just as he’d done to her. “We are getting to know what we both like. Do you enjoy fast sex and for it to be over quickly?” She had to hope the answer would be no.

Faron’s brows drew together. “It is all I know.”

“Do you want to try something else?”

“Will it make you happy?”

“I’m certain it will make me ecstatic. I don’t want to force you, though.”

“You force me to do nothing. My desire is for you to be happy.”

Kendra let out a relieved sigh. “Well, then, how about that dance you’ve promised me then we can go for round two?”

“Round two?”

“More sex, less pounding.”

He pressed a hand over his heart before kissing her. Without a word, Faron stood and stepped back. He bowed to her.

Oh, boy, what would this dance be like? Please, be amazing.

“I do not have my thong or my paint. I had planned to dance for you in my room. In fact, I had planned to dance for you before the first mating, but your need seemed so desperate that I wanted to satisfy you first.”

“I appreciate your dedication to my desperation.” Kendra glared at him, but it was half-hearted. He was making a huge effort to please her. It was more than most guys would have done.

“I shall fetch my thong.”

“No! I can see everything better without it. It will make it easier to see that you are perfect for me.” She hoped that was the right thing to say. From the swell of Faron’s chest, it had not offended him.

“Computer, play movement thirteen from the Tolong archive.”

Kendra jumped as a heavy drumbeat began. She watched, barely breathing, as Faron moved. He started slowly, his body shifting with each beat of the drum.

The pace quickly increased as he shimmied his shoulders and chest in isolation. His muscles bunched and flexed, and his hips shifted, thrusting slowly backward and forward.

Kendra swallowed, unable to take her eyes off those hips. That was the movement she desired. That was how she wanted Faron to make love to her.

She found herself moving to the music herself, her gaze pinned to Faron as he thrust and displayed for her. She couldn’t deny it wasn’t odd, but it was a hundred times better than any moves she’d seen in a club. Faron had some seriously sexy shimmies going on.

After watching the dance for several minutes, she’d seen enough. He was everything she wanted. Faron was quirky, blunt, sometimes rude, but always looking out for her. It was time she did the same for him. Faron needed to know how amazing sex could really be.

She lifted a hand and beckoned him over.

With a final thrust, he strode toward her, pulled her to her feet and kissed her.

“That was amazing.” Kendra clung to his slick shoulders. “Can you thrust like that with me?”

Faron looked intrigued. “I can try. It will bring you pleasure?”

She nodded. “Take a seat.”

Faron kept hold of Kendra as he sat on the towels, his fingers gliding over her oiled skin.

She straddled him and stroked her hands down his chest. “Ever done it like this?”

“No, always from behind. The way I showed you.”

She grinned as her hand wrapped around his already hard cock. “Then this should be a learning experience for both of us.”

Faron’s eyes widened as she lifted herself onto his cock and slowly sank down. He tried to thrust, but Kendra shook her head, and he stilled.

“Let me set the pace. How’s that?”

Faron looked stunned. “Good.”

She frowned. “Only good?” She went a little faster, sinking all the way to the base of his shaft.

Faron groaned, and his hands clamped against her butt.

“Better?”

“I like this very much.” He tried a few hard thrusts, but she slowed him again by resting her hand on his chest.

“I set the pace. Remember your dance moves, the one where you’re thrusting your hips. Use that rhythm. That speed.”

Faron slowed and matched her pace. “Like this?”

“That’s it.” Kendra clung to Faron’s shoulders as he thrust into her. This time, it was just right, regular, hard thrusts, all the way in before sliding out again.

“Your way is so much better,” he whispered into her ear.

“There’s a place for hard and fast too,” she whispered. “But I want to take my time with you.”

Despite those words, Kendra felt her orgasm build. When Faron dropped his hand between her legs and stroked her clit, she melted. He loved her. He wanted to show her pleasure and that she was worthy of his affection.

She kissed him to stop herself from crying. They were happy tears that threatened. She finally felt enough, all thanks to this gruff, blunt alien. He’d made her whole.

“Kendra,” he breathed against her mouth, his eyes wide with wonder. “I never knew it could be like this.” His thrusts sped up, as did his fingers on her clit.

“Trust me. This is just the beginning.” She arched her back and drove against him, not being careful as her orgasm hit, peaking just as Faron groaned and buried his head against her shoulder.

They rode their orgasm together as they clung to each other, both panting with desire.

After a moment of resting, wrapped in each other’s arms, Faron lifted his head and kissed Kendra until she was laughing and gasping for breath.

“We have to do that again,” he said.

She grinned at him. “We will. And more. There is so much fun to be had.”

“Now. We can do it now.”

She shook her head. “You won’t be able to.”

“I will do anything for my mate. You are mine, Kendra. Say it’s so, and I will let you ride me every day. In fact, I will insist upon it.”

Kendra blinked back the tears again as she laughed. “If it makes you happy.” She gasped as she felt him stiffen inside her.

He grinned, his smile lighting up his whole face. “As I said, I will do anything for you.”

Kendra wrapped her arms around him and kissed him deeply. At last, they were both happy. They’d found each other. They’d finally found acceptance and love.
