BEAR

Bear found the massage oil easily—it had a light, floral scent which was nice but not overpowering. He brought it into the bedchamber and then lowered the overhead lights till there was only a dim, golden glow to light the room. Aleena lay there, looking up at him with her big eyes filled with trust.

It touched him that she was allowing him to do this. It meant a lot to him that she was trusting him, especially after being brutally attacked. It made him angry to think that the Karpsians actually blamed the woman who was attacked in such a situation. What the fuck was wrong with these people, treating their women so badly?

He pushed the thought aside—it would only make him angry and he didn’t want to bring any Rage energy into this massage. Instead, he wanted it to be healing—a warm and loving time to let his new wife know how much he cared for her.

You’re caring a little too much, don’t you think? whispered a little voice in his head. What about your plans to disavow her once the negotiations are over? What about your vow?

Bear pushed the thought away. He wasn’t breaking his vow—he wasn’t going to Bond her to him—he was just going to massage her and make her feel good.

“Lay on your stomach, baby but you’d better take off your robe first,” he told her. “It’ll only get in the way.”

“Yes, my Bear.” Aleena slipped off the robe, revealing her smooth bronze skin and full curves. The lovely sight made Bear’s cock swell, but he tried not to notice that. This was all about her pleasure—he wanted to make her feel good and safe and comforted.

And he was willing to do anything to make that happen.

He started with her shoulders, massaging firmly but carefully. He didn’t use all his strength—not even half of it. She was delicate and he didn’t want to hurt her.

By the way Aleena was acting, he was doing a good job. She moaned happily and relaxed against the bed as he smoothed the oil over her skin and massaged it in carefully. He worked on the muscles of her shoulders and back—they were all knotted with tension. Before long he had her purring like a kitten as she melted completely under his touch.

“Oh, my Bear,” she moaned. “How are you so good at this? I’ve never felt anything like it!”

“Just want to help you relax, baby,” he murmured, moving lower. “Do you mind if I massage you here?” He stroked a hand over her behind and she gave a little twitch.

“I don’t mind, my Bear. You are my husband—you can touch me anywhere . My body is yours to do with as you wish,” she said, sounding slightly breathless.

Bear frowned.

“I don’t want to touch you just because I can—I want to touch you because you want me to. You have the right to tell me no—I won’t be upset if you do.”

“But I don’t want to tell you no.” Aleena turned her head to look over her shoulder at him. “I want to tell you yes —I want you to keep touching me. It feels so good!”

As she spoke, she arched her back and spread her thighs a little—just enough to show him a hint of her soft little pussy nestled between her legs.

Bear nearly groaned at the sight. Gods, he couldn’t help remembering how wet and tight she was. And it almost seemed like she was offering herself to him. His shaft was so hard it hurt but he tried to ignore it.

“All right then, baby,” he growled. “I’ll keep going.”

He began by massaging her legs and then moved back up to her ass. As he rubbed her sweet cheeks—she had what the humans called a “bubble butt”—she moaned softly and spread her thighs even wider.

“Oh, my Bear,” she whispered. “That feels so good! I almost wish you could massage me deeper.”

“You mean like this?” Sliding his hands between her thighs, he placed his thumbs on the outer lips of her pussy and began to rub gently but firmly, stimulating her Goddess pearl.

“Ohhhh!” Aleena bucked her hips and arched her back again. She was almost on her hands and knees at that point in her effort to spread wider and give him better access.

The sounds of her pleasure and her sweet feminine scent teasing his nose made Bear so hard he felt like he could fuck a hole through a plasti-steel wall. Only reminding himself of his vow stopped him from taking her then and there. But Aleena’s next words didn’t help his self-control any.

“My Bear, please!” she gasped, moving her hips eagerly. “Tell me again…what comes after the Bathing time in your people’s Claiming period?”

Bear felt a low growl of desire rising in his throat and swallowed it down with difficulty.

“That would be the Tasting time, baby,” he told her and couldn’t help adding, “Would you like me to show you how it works?”

“Oh, would you?” Aleena looked over her shoulder again. Her pale amethyst eyes were half-lidded with need and her pussy was wet and warm in his hands. “Would you really do that for me, my Bear? Would you…taste me?”

She didn’t have to ask him twice. Bear had been longing to taste her sweet little pussy almost from the moment of their Joining.

“Gods, yes!” he growled.

Kneeling behind her, he wrapped his arms around her thighs to split her even wider. Then he pressed his face to her pussy and began to lap at her sweet cunt honey, which was already wetting her thighs.

Her flavor burst across his tongue—salty and sweet and perfect—and he knew there was no going back. He was going to taste his new wife until she came for him…came all over his face.
