SUNNY

Using the need to change clothes as an excuse to check out the rest of their hut, Sunny took her long grass skirt with her into the small bathroom.

There was a shower stall that had a single spout and a long metal chain which, when pulled, produced a thin stream of chilly water.

Long , blue waxy leaves formed a shower curtain around it.

Another curtain of leaves hid what Sunny assumed must be the toilet—a hole in the ground with a drain cover and a stack of absorbent leaves in a stone holder beside it.

Well, that’s not going to be much fun to use!

She wondered if she could go back to the ship to use the sleek and modern Kindred “fresher” which was what the big alien warriors called the bathroom.

But she and Greer usually tried to stay in whatever accommodations they’d been given during their trips to other worlds.

Doing otherwise showed disrespect to their hosts—as though the accommodations they had been offered weren’t good enough.

Luckily, she didn’t need to go right then. Deciding she would think about the bathroom situation later, Sunny slipped out of her clothing and tied the long grass skirt around her waist. It fell to her ankles and swayed gracefully when she moved—and her bare breasts were swaying at the same time.

Looking down at herself, Sunny was extremely glad she’d let her friend Kat talk her into ditching her bra and wearing a pair of “float dots” instead.

They were tiny little anti-gravity jewels that stuck to the undersides of your breasts.

Float dots made even the heaviest and largest breasts perky again.

Indeed , Sunny’s large breasts looked quite luscious and her nipples were sticking out like two pink headlights.

Which, to be honest, was kind of embarrassing…but kind of hot too. Especially when she thought about Greer seeing her this way.

Sunny wondered again if she might possibly be a closet exhibitionist. Because while the idea of going out in front of a bunch of strangers when she was completely topless caused a flurry of butterflies to bounce around inside her midsection, it didn’t make her feel like she wanted to run and hide. Quite the opposite, in fact.

What’s that saying? Oh right—if you got it, flaunt it! Sunny told herself firmly. Everyone else is going to be topless too. It would be rude to go to the celebration any other way.

Keeping her chin high, she exited the bathroom only to find Greer standing by the end of the elevated sleeping platform wearing his leaf kilt.

It should have looked ridiculous on the big warrior…

but it didn’t. The green and yellow garment fell to just above his knees, showing long, muscular legs.

He still had on his tall black boots which added to the kilt effect.

Also , his muscular chest and broad shoulders were bare and Sunny couldn’t stop her eyes from perusing his half naked body.

God , the man was the definition of gorgeous!

Look up “mouthwatering” in the dictionary and you’d probably find his picture staring back at you!

But when she stopped staring at his bare chest and her eyes found their way to his face, she saw that her Protector was scowling like a thundercloud.

“I don’t fucking like this,” he growled, nodding at Sunny’s bare breasts. “ I don’t like you going out uncovered like this!”

“It’s the custom here, silly!” Sunny smiled up at him reassuringly. “ I won’t be the only woman who’s topless.”

“No, but you’ll be the most beautiful one—and you’ll probably attract a lot of unwanted attention.” His frown deepened. “ I don’t think this is a good idea.”

“Well, there’s no other way to observe their Binding Week ceremonies,” Sunny pointed out, beginning to lose patience. “ I’m sorry if my bare breasts offend you, Greer , but I’m here for academic research and I’ll do whatever I have to in order to get it!”

Her only answer was a disapproving grunt but at least Greer stopped arguing with her.

Though he didn’t stop shooting glances at her bare breasts, Sunny noticed.

Having her Protector’s eyes on her made her feel hot and naughty and flirty all at once.

Oh yes, this planet was definitely the place to get the big Kindred’s attention and stake her claim on him!

This was her last chance to get Greer and she intended to make the most of it.

She had no idea how much trouble they were going to run into.
