Tidings of comets and joy,

Comets and joy!

O tidings of comets and joy!

From “God Rest Ye Merry Rtaharions”

A Christmas Carol for Non-Earthlings by Sadie Malone

Xane blinked.

Sadie’s eyebrows lifted in question. “You said you wanted to learn about caring. I think this will help you link actions and emotions. I know you haven’t been with a girl before. I can show you how to…”

“Yes.”He interrupted.

“Yes, you want me to…?”

“Yes.Show me.”

“Okay. Um… If I do anything you don’t like or makes you uncomfortable, just tell me to stop.”

He stared at her, wondering if he really had lost the ability to understand her language. “There is very little chance of that happening.” He assured her seriously.

“Great! So, quick rundown on human girls, these areas are kind of default erogenous zones.” She gestured to her breasts, where two of his hands still caressed her flesh, and then towards the junction of her thighs. “But really, any touching can be a turn on if you do it right.”

His eyes traveled over her curvy little body, bouncing from her breasts, to her legs, to the neat nest of curls between her legs. Dear gods… they were brown, too. That alone was enough to make him groan. Added to everything else it was a wonder his whole body didn’t combust.

Tension coiled within him. Desire needing release. Wanting more. His third hand slipped around her body to trace up her back. When it got high enough, it caught hold of her neck. He didn’t stop to think about it. It just… happened.

Sadie’s eyes flickered closed. “Yeah. See? That works.” She croaked out.

She didn’t seem to realize it, but she pressed her breasts forward, further into his grasp. Interesting. Xane had never been a great soldier, but he knew what willing surrender looked like.

“Your body wishes to submit to mine.” He deduced. Fuck, she smelled like magic and honey. He wanted to drown in her fragrance.

“Submit?” Her voice was breathless. “No. We’re just making out a little bit. In fact, I’m in charge because I’m the one who knows what she’s doing.”

Xane’s fourth arm was already moving downward, needing to explore the golden-brown curls between her legs. “What next, wife?”

“You’re supposed to take your time and… Holy shit. ”

“You’re wet.” He mused, his fingers already exploring the secrets he found. “This is not just from your shower.”

“No, I… my body creates lubricant to help with… penetration.” Her words were choppy. “When I’m aroused, it produces more.”

“So, I will fit inside you.” He made an approving noise. “Rtaharion males also produce lubricant to make penetration easier.”

“Things could get messy for us, then.”

“Yes, you will be saturated.” He relished that idea. He rubbed against her flesh, feeling it heat beneath his touch. “This is where I will go?” The tip of his claw carefully grazed against the tight hole.

She instinctively jerked.

One of his hands left her breasts to grip her hip and keep her motionless. “Stay still, wife.”

She swallowed, and more moisture coated his palm.

He gave a low growl of approval. “Good. I don’t want to accidentally hurt you. You’re so small. Will your body stretch to fit me?”

She bobbed her head.

Xane could already imagine how tight she would clasp him. “You will need to be very wet.”

Sadie was still fighting to stay in control. “For real, Xane. The-four-busy-hands-thing is really working for me, but you’re supposed to be letting me lead this lesson.”

“You are leading. I listen to your body and it tells me what it likes.” He shifted slightly. “What happens if I touch right here?”

Her eyes went wide, a desperate sort of sound escaping her.

“Ah…” A smile crossed his face. “I see.”

Her lips were parted, and he couldn’t resist dipping his head to kiss her.

It was hungry and consuming, but beneath the lust was something he couldn’t quite explain.

A warmth different from the heat of desire.

A knowledge that this was Sadie, and she was trusting him with her body.

A determination to always keep her safe and make her happy.

A connection to her that went deeper than physical needs.

“Xane .” It was a breathless moan, as she kissed him back. “Please.”

Phlarge, he liked it when she panted out his name like that.

Both hands left her breasts. It went against all his instincts, but it allowed him to hoist her up, so she was more open to him.

“I believe I can figure out the rest of the exercise from here. Rtaharions are gifted at physical activities.”

“I’m totally getting that.” She gasped. “What you’re doing is going to make me come really fast. Hang on… Do-- um-- aliens have orgasms?”

“Yes. Some things are universal.” He leaned back to watch her body, seeing that her breasts were flushed and her breath was short.

The liquid her core produced increased, like it was trying to tempt him deeper.

These were signs of human arousal? Gods, they really were the most magnificent species in the universe.

He was captivated by how gorgeous his wife looked in her pleasure.

“Which ‘thing’ that I’m doing is causing your deepest reaction?” He asked, wanting to learn more.

“Your hand between my legs… if you could just touch me right there .” She tried to move, like she just couldn’t help herself. “Please, Xane. It’s right there .”

“This?” One claw tapped the little bundle of flesh.

“Oh! ”

Xane smirked, because now he’d figured it out.

Her hips were rocking against his fingers, seeking out more of the friction he was providing.

“This is all you need to find release? Human women are very easy to satisfy.” He’d anticipated hours of work to master this, and instead, she was already melting into his palm.

“Human men sometimes struggle with this part. I have a machine that vibrates, but…” She broke off with a whimper, as he rasped his thumb over her drenched flesh in tight circles.

“You also have sex with robots?”

“I mean… kind of?”

“Well, you now have a husband to give you relief.”

Extraordinary brown curls floated around her face, as she gazed up at him in something like awe.

“I can provide anything you need.” Rtaharions didn’t make promises, but he was making them now. “I will learn anything you wish and be anything you ask me. I will do anything for you, Sadie.”

Sadie’s body stiffened, and he felt her tumble over the edge.

A wail left her throat, as she arched against him.

A look of ecstasy passed over her expression, and she rode the waves of pleasure.

Tremors began deep inside of her. He could feel them pulsing against his fingers.

Imagining being surrounded by her when those seductive waves began, almost made him come himself.

Sadie went lax in his hold, murmuring contentedly against his shoulder. Xane felt a surge of pride and happiness. He’d done that. Scooping her up in his arms, he carried her into the sleeping chamber. “This was a very valuable lesson, wife.”

“You’re a fast learner.” Her arms looped around his neck, and his heart flipped in his chest. He loved how she trusted him.

The mattresses were still on the floor, and he lay her down, smoothing back her extraordinary hair. “Rest now, so you will have the energy for your next criminal enterprise. I will go check on the Vipri and…”

“No!” She interjected, sitting up on the bed. “You can’t leave . I’m not done teaching.”

“You’re not?” His eyebrows shot up. “This is excellent news, Sadie. Touching you is precisely how I wish to spend the entire afternoon.”

“No, silly. It’s your turn.” She crooked a finger at him, her teeny blunt claw glinting with red paint. “Let’s learn how I can make you come.”

Corono was a planet with plenty of oxygen, but suddenly Xane found it hard to breathe. “You would do that?” He took an unconscious step closer to the mattress.

“Of course.” She gave him a confused look, like she didn’t understand his question. “In a relationship, you have to give and receive caring.”

“My understanding is that most women are not concerned about males’ pleasure, after they have achieved their own.”

“Oh. Well, most men probably deserve that, but you don’t.” She grinned, catching hold of one of his hands. “Come ’ere, big guy. This will be easier if you’re not so much taller than me.”

Xane didn’t even try to avoid her tugging. He dropped to his knees in front of her, because what else could he do? He was on his knees for this woman in every possible way.

Sadie maneuvered closer to him, fiddling with his pants. “How do alien zippers work?”

He caught hold of her hand showing her how to unlace the fastening, trying to keep himself from exploding. Just the brush of her fingers through fabric was almost too much to bear. Xane knew he was going to humiliate himself. It was inevitable.

“I think you’re starting to like me, after all.” She teased, feeling the state of his arousal. “Maybe a lot.”

“I like you a lot.” He agreed in a guttural voice.

The words were so inadequate. Rtaharions didn’t rely on words, though.

They were people of action. Xane dipped his head to kiss her again, his tongue pillaging her mouth.

She kissed him back just as desperately; her perfect body pressed up against his.

Her hand started to slip into his pants, then she pulled back to blink up at him. “Whoa.”

He was different than human males. He could tell by her astonished expression.Xane was losing higher brain functions again, so he wasn’t sure what to say to reassure her. “Are you alright?” He managed to get out.

She blinked and then smiled. “Yeah, for sure. You’re very… proportional, is all.”

“Proportional?” He helped her pull off his clothes.
