I’m certainly not the male to take up the cause of a stranded human. I’m an outlaw, an escaped convict, and I’m leaving this farm planet as soon as possible.
So I shower and try not to think about anything other than getting clean. It’s the best shower I’ve had in a long time, and I spend far too long in there. I towel off, and notice that while I was in the wash room, she slipped back into the bedroom. There’s a pair of trou on the bed that look as if they’d fit me, and when I pick them up, I see the stitching inside isn’t professional. She made these, then. I put them on—and they’re so short that they only go to my calf, which makes me laugh.
This little bit really has no idea how tall mesakkah are compared to humans. Why do I find that so charming?
Piper comes in to the room after I’m dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed. The rest of the small house is dark and she carries a towel in her hands. “I’m going to shower before bed as well, if that’s all right.”
“It’s your house.”
“So it is.”
“I couldn’t help but notice that there’s only one bed.” I gesture at the mattress I’m sitting on. “You want me to take the floor?”
“No, we can both sleep in the bed. I’m asking you to marry me, after all. It seems a little silly to be prudish, don’t you think?”
I shrug, because I’ve slept on a floor for days now. I can sleep on one a few days more, but I won’t pass up the chance to sleep with a tasty little bit like her curled up against me in a nice soft bed.
She disappears into the wash room and when she returns a short time later, she smells like a faint floral soap and hot water. The towel is wrapped around her slim body, and I lie in bed, watching as she turns her back to me and then drops the towel.
Well, now. She’s bold. As casual as she acts, I’m sure this is all part of the plan to entice me into staying.
It’s a good move, I have to admit. I watch with a growing hunger as she slides a shift over her body. Her skin’s a strange, pale shade, but her hips flare to an enticing ass that seems just a little bit kinky without a tail. I can’t see those human tits of hers, but her waist is slender and her shoulders graceful, and now I’m imagining what it’d be like to have her under me while I claim her. My cock’s hard and throbbing in an instant. It’s been forever since I’ve had sex. Every salacious, filthy thing I’ve heard about humans flashes through my mind, and I can’t stop staring at the delicate flare of her hips, imagining my hands there, holding her against me as I pound deep inside her.
She pulls the shift down over her body, hiding herself from view, and then turns the light off.
It’s dark for a brief moment, but my eyes adjust quickly to the light, and I watch as her slim form gets into bed. Her limbs brush against mine as she pulls the blankets over her.
“Goodnight,” Piper says, and then her back is to me.
I should go to sleep, just like she is. Act as if it’s nothing that she’s in bed with me a breath away. Instead, I keep thinking about the hard ache of my cock and how good she smells. Her damp hair spills over her pillow, practically touching my face, and it’s so keffing arousing that I’m in danger of losing control of myself. I think about getting out of bed and going to her small wash room so I can jerk my cock and get rid of this ache. Lying here next to her isn’t relaxing me at all.
When I first met Piper, I was convinced that she was offering me a terrible deal. Farming and a baby in exchange for freedom and money? No thanks. But the longer I spend in her presence, the more drawn to her I am. I breathe in her scent and think about the flare of her hips, and wonder if this “marriage” idea doesn’t have more benefits to it than I thought.
But no. The job with the va Sithai brothers will be big money, more than a soldier and ex-con like me will ever have the opportunity to see. I’d be a fool to walk away from it.
As if she can sense my troubled thoughts, Piper rolls onto her back and looks over at me in the darkness. “You’re awake?”
“Yes.”
“Want to have sex?”
I’m a little startled at the bold suggestion. “You’re offering?”
“If it’ll entice you into staying? Yes,” she says bluntly. “I can’t ask you to marry me without showing you what I can offer, right? And all I’ve got are this farm and my body.”
