Nate wanted to ask when they were going to get to the Tasting Time, then. He couldn’t help looking at her ripe nipples and remembering his dream of sucking the sweet amber liquid from her full breasts. But he didn’t want to be greedy—it was enough just to be able to touch her tonight.
“All right—I understand.” He nodded.
“Good, then come into the sleeping platform and let us begin the Healing Massage.”
Oh, so she wanted him to massage her? Well Nate certainly didn’t mind. He would be more than happy to run his hands all over her beautiful, bare body.
He climbed in bed with her and reached for one of the vials.
“All right, lay on your stomach, sweetheart,” he told her. “I’m going to make you feel good.”
But to his surprise, Lan’ara shook her head.
“Oh, I’m afraid you misunderstood me,” she said. “When a Kindred finds her fated mate, she must do the touching—at least during the very first part of the Touching Time.”
“Really?” Nate was surprised. “So…you don’t want me to massage you?”
“Not right now.” Lan’ara gave him a seductive smile. “First I’m going to massage you. Now do me a favor—lie on your stomach and spread your legs for me.”
TWENTY-SIX
LAN’ARA
Lan’ara could feel the surprise coming from her human, but he didn’t hesitate. He simply nodded and lay down on his stomach—which was clearly a bit difficult for him, since he was lying on his erect shaft. He managed, however, and as soon as he was settled with his head turned to one side, Lan’ara straddled him and picked up the bottle of healing pleasure oil.
She poured some into her hands, inhaling the fragrant, faintly spicy aroma of burra berries and tsiom bark. The two ingredients worked together to loosen tight muscles and heal any tension and pain. They warmed the body and gave soothing delight when massaged into the skin.
Bending over Nate, she began to work the oil into his broad shoulders. They were tight with knots and she frowned as she worked.
“Why are your muscles so tense? Are you worried or upset?”
“No, not at all,” Nate denied. “Your little hands feel wonderful, sweetheart.”
It wasn’t just her hands that she was planning to use on him tonight, but she didn’t tell him that. Another thought occurred to her.
“How long did you carry me after I fainted?”
He shrugged.
“Don’t know. An hour or two?”
Well, that explained the tension in his shoulders, Lan’ara thought. She was an Elite—a woman the Goddess had blessed with extra curves. The fact that Nate was strong enough to lift her—let alone carry her for hours, spoke of how strong he was.
“Thank you for bringing me to a safe haven,” Lan’ara murmured in his ear, pressing harder to get the knots of tension out of his shoulders and back.
He groaned in response to her touch.
“God, sweetheart! Feels fucking amazing.”
“It’s about to feel better,” Lan’ara promised him. Slowly she worked her way down his long body until she was massaging his muscular buttocks. She paused for a moment to get the other vial of oil. When she opened it, a soft, sweet, musky scent drifted out. She poured a little in her palm and rubbed it into her fingertips. Then she reached between his legs.
Nate tensed in obvious surprise and she could feel the uncertainly coming from him. Leaning forward, she murmured in his ear.
“Are you nervous to let me touch you intimately?”
“No—of course not,” he denied, though she could feel his tension. “You just, uh, surprised me—that’s all.”
“Don’t worry, just relax and let me give you pleasure,” Lan’ara told him. Gently, she stroked his heavy testicles from behind, waiting until he loosened up some and she felt his tension ease and give way to pleasure. She got a little more oil and teased lightly around his rosebud, but Nate didn’t seem quite ready for that level of intimacy yet.
“Uh…look, sweetheart, I’m not sure about this,” he muttered, stiffening up again. “I’ve, uh, never had a girl touch me there before.”
“It’s all right if you don’t want me to penetrate you,” Lan’ara told him. “We can save that for another time if you wish. Tonight I just want to give you pleasure and feel all your good emotions. Do you want to turn over now?”
Nate seemed more than happy to do so and she noticed that even though he had said he wasn’t sure about the way she’d been touching him earlier, his shaft didn’t seem to have any doubts. It was long and hard and throbbing between his thighs and she was eager to touch it.
But she made herself wait—first she wanted to rub his broad, muscular chest. She liked the soft mat of curls between his pecs and had been wanting to touch him there for some time.
Nate groaned softly as she worked her fingers into the muscles of his chest. Now that he was on his back and could get a good view of her bare breasts swaying as she worked on him, Lan’ara could feel his pleasure and desire surging. The positive emotions fed her own lust, making her breasts feel full and her nipples tight with desire.
