“I want to. I just—I’ve never—never willingly…”

“Oh.” He said, then his eyes went wide in understanding. “Oh!”

“Yeah,oh.”

“You mean younever…” his voice trailed off as I shook my head.

“Elex was agreatprotector. Which was awesome, when I actually needed protection. Not so great when I didn’treallywant it. Sometimes he’s a littletooprotective, as you may recall…”

Rhu nodded in understanding.

“I can see that about him,” he said, chuckling. “So, what do you have experience with? Are you a top, or a bottom, or do you switch? Do you know what you like?”

I could feel my face heating as he asked.

“I’m not even sure what those words mean,” I said, ducking my head. “Someone gave me a blowjob once. I’ve given a few.”

“Wait.Oneblowjob. That’s the extent of your experience?” He asked incredulously, then his eyes turned thoughtful.

I looked away, shame flooding me.

“The extent of my c-consensual experience…” I said, my voice trailing off.

His hands tightened on me, and I closed my eyes, unable to face the inevitable revulsion I expected in his eyes.

“Those bastards,” he growled quietly. My eyes flew open in surprise. I don’t know what I had expected, but the glowing green fire in his eyes was not it.

“So…the blowjob….What did you think? Did you like it?”

“The blowjob?” I laughed at the unexpected question. “What’s not to like about a blowjob?”

He chuckled and squeezed me tight.

“I’m going to havesomuch fun spoiling you,” he whispered. “But I want to do this right. Would you go out on a date with me?”

I looked at him in confusion. It took me a minute to remember that dating was something normal people did to get to know one another prior to mating. I’d never had the option before, as either a prince or a slave.

“You don’t need to do that, you know. As your Bonded, I’m kind of a sure thing…” I said, teasingly.

Rhu laughed.

“Doesn’t mean I don’t want to spend time getting to know you and giving you the opportunity to know me. After all, you may come to find that my sense of humor is awful, and you don’t want anything to do with me.”

“Or maybe you snore? Leave your dirty socks on the floor?”

“So many opportunities to fuck this up…” he sighed and teased.

“Fine, I’ll take you as you are. Warts and all. If you’ll do the same for me, then yes, I’d love to go on a date with you, Rhuyin Katastrofis.”

He smiled again, then pulled me down beside him and began laying gentle kisses on my skin. I noticed his lips lingered extra-long over any of my many scars he ran across. I couldn’t help but hope that he would continue to ignore them. I wouldn’t mind sharing my stories at some point in the future, but I didn’t want to focus on those moments now.

He was moving far too slow for me, though.

“Enough,” I said sharply, pulling away from him and struggling to my feet. I pointed to him and brought my hands down the front of my body, then flicked my thumbs left and right.

Undress,I signed nervously, not entirely sure I had gotten the sign correctly. Imighthave used a search engine to find sign language videos that taught you sexy sign language signs.

Without waiting to see his reaction, I shucked the rest of my clothes before turning back to him. When I turned, I found him naked and gloriously displayed before me. He had a small dark treasure trail that ran down his abs, ending at a closely trimmed brush of hair. His cock was long and thick, and already dripping pre-cum as he looked at me.
