Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Because you smell keffing amazing and you’re smart and resourceful, and I like you.”
He blinks at me once. “Even I know when I’m not wanted, Tabitha. Me showing up when you’ve made it clear that you hate me would just be harassment. So yeah, if I’m bothering you, say the word and I won’t return.”
It’s my turn to pick up the conversation again, but my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. I can’t think of anything to say to him. I want to keep this easy, casual conversation flowing and yet I don’t know how. Please, please be my friend. Please be someone that’s there for me.
I don’t. I don’t need anything. But I want it. And I want him to come back. So I nod.
“Why is it whenever you show up by surprise, your hand is in your pants?” I yell through the door. “An excellent question,” he retorts. “And it’s hard to explain.” “Try!” There’s a pause and then I see him slump against the door on the vid screen. I hear his heavy body lean against it, and then a sigh. “Because you’re having some strange male come over tomorrow and I don’t like it, because I haven’t claimed you as mine.”
“When a praxiian finds a female he’s interested in, he gets very territorial. He marks her door with his semen so his scent is there and any other praxiian would know that you’re being courted and he wouldn’t come after you. Your door wasn’t marked and it was bothering me. So…here I am.”
Jrrru gives a little shake of his head. “Why wouldn’t he? You’re amazing.”
“Every keffing day I wake up and I’m thrilled to be on this planet, because it means I get to see you again. I thought my brother was just infatuated with his female when we moved here and he’d get bored of it, but I understand now. It doesn’t matter where you live when the best person on the planet is right next door.”
“Can I kiss you?” “You want to kiss me?” His ears perk.
“I do want to kiss you, but I’m scared.” His ears flatten. “Of me?” I shake my head quickly. “Just…of falling in love. Being vulnerable. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m not a big fan of leaving myself open.”
“It’s your fault for trying to break into my house.” “I wasn’t trying to break in. I was trying to jerk off on your door.”
“I don’t want this male sniffing around getting ideas about you.” “He’s not going to get ideas.”
“You never answered if I could kiss you or not, by the way.” His gaze drops to my lips. “My mouth isn’t like yours.” “I don’t care.” “I just don’t want to disappoint you.”
“But…I also need to paint your door or I’m going to crawl out of my skin.” Paint my door…?
He wants to mark me as his. As claimed. Even after kisses and reassurance, he still needs this. And maybe I’m feeling a little bold anyhow, because I tell him, “I’ll let you as long as I get to watch.”
His voice is a near growl when he speaks. “I would love that.”
“Because no matter what happened, no matter how angry or violent he was towards others, I knew I was safe with him. That he’d never harm a hair on my head. He’s my safe place.”
“I know she will,” Hrrrusek says with an amused look in my direction. “I have instructions to stop by after work and before I head home. And when Chelsea gets sweets, Chelsea gets happy. And then I get happy, and—“ I put a hand up to silence him, because I know all about him and Chelsea getting happy, all right.
“Wrap your hand around me, love,” I whisper. “I’m yours to play with.”
“Okay, if you’re asking, then I need you to know that if you asked me to stay, I’d stay forever.”
“Then stay forever,” she says, voice soft. I go still, stunned into surprise at her response. “Wait. Really?”
Her sticky fingers move over my cock, sending prickles of heat through my system again and making my tail twitch. “We could try it, couldn’t we? I like you being here. And I kept thinking today that I would rather have you around than anyone else. You’re the only one I trust. The only one I like.” I’m flattered, but at the same time… “That doesn’t mean we have to be romantic. We can just be friends if you’re more comfortable—“ “I like this, too,” Tabitha confesses, glancing up at me. “When you marked my door, it made me want more than I’ve wanted in a long time. I liked seeing you lose

“I want you. I want this. I want us.”
“You get in bed first, my aromatic one, and I’ll fit myself around you.” My pulse flutters as he strokes my bare arm, and I’m fascinated at the thought of him fitting himself around me.
the thick length of his cock is between my parted legs, rubbing against my folds. “Hold me against you,” he murmurs. “Rub yourself against my cock, love. Use me.”
“Tonight, I’d like for you to wear nothing.” “Nothing?” I echo. “And I’ll wear your thighs over my shoulders.”
Fuck yes, I am. “Bed or counter?”
“Wherever you’re the most comfortable.” “On the bed,” I say promptly. “And then, on your face.”
“Now you’re talking.”
“Bed it is…and then ...

“What if—“ “They won’t hate you,” he
“You don’t know that.” “I do know that. You make me happy and I’m not living on their couch any longer. As far as they’re concerned, you’re perfection.”
