“Let me give you a tour of this domicile first.”
“Thank you. I would love that.”
I guide her around and proudly show her everything downstairs she hasn’t seen yet even though it’s pretty much half a mess. “As you can see the kitchen does have some things but not much else. I haven’t used it except to store fire ale and to a make some Traq. You’re going to need to do an inventory and see what you still need. Make sure you purchase not only ingredients but also anything you need to cook with in the kitchen.”
“Yes.” Her eyes brighten. “I can do that.” She opens a nearby utility closet I hadn’t seen before. “Thorn, there’s a whole group of brand-new cleaning and repair bots in here you haven’t even powered up.”
I look inside, entirely surprised. “There is? This must be my mother’s doing.”
Mica shakes her head and laughs. “I’ll get that all set up for you later.”
“Thank you. This is why I need you here.” I guide her out of the kitchen. “Downstairs I have furniture in front of the fireplace and there’s the dining table. And that’s it. I have two chairs on the front porch and two at the counter. Down that back hall is my office, a bathroom and another living area.” I open another door behind the kitchen. “This is the vehicle garage. You can use either of these for traveling. I also have a smaller, all-terrain vehicle.” I close the door and we cross the front room to go upstairs.
She moves up the steps in front of me and I can’t keep my eyes off the luscious sway of her wide hips and the large, perfect curve of her ass.
We reach the landing and I cough, trying my best to keep on task. I might want her in my arms but she does not feel the same. “My mother took care of the guest room because she said she wanted a place for herself, and if she left it to me, two years from now, there’d still be empty rooms here. She’s not wrong. And there is my bedroom. Which is still not unpacked. It’s just boxes and my bed.” And I start opening other doors down the hall. “All of these rooms are empty.” I do not tell her this, but I’d always hoped that later on all of these rooms would be filled with future offspring. The idea of a large family has lately been clouding my mind like never before.
“This house really is big and empty. You weren’t kidding.”
And then I get a bright idea. “You should fill this house up for me. The way my mother decorated the guest room…you should do the rest of the house. Order furniture and decorations as you like.”
She pauses and looks around. “Oh no. I’d feel strange purchasing things for this home considering I’m just a visitor. I’m not…”
“…my bound,” I say with a deep voice.
“No, I’m not your bound, your wife, or your mate. I’m just here as your employee. I don’t even know how long I’m staying.”
“You can stay as long as you like.”
She gazes at me with consternation and purses her lips. I love it when she does that. In fact, I love all her exotic human expressions. I could gaze at her gorgeous features for the rest of my life.
“Thorn…I like it here too. Probably too much. But I don’t want to be a bother. And my life is so strange right now. Nothing is settled. I wish…”
Is she gazing at my chest? Did her eyes just dart to my thickening crotch? I think I might finally, finally scent a hint of arousal from this female.
Suddenly I want nothing more than to kick open my bedroom door, toss her onto my bed and strip her bare. I want her to be my first and my last. I want to lick every bit of her sexy, curvy body, spending extra time between her thick thighs.
But I refrain. Now is not the time. When I make her mine, she will be locked here forever and I need to know that’s what she really wants, because there is no divorce on Tarvos. This does not need to be rushed. There is plenty of time to take this slowly. “What do you wish?” I question.
“I wish I’d met you when I first arrived. I wish you’d been the male who had hired me and was meeting me when I stepped off that transporter disk on Tarvos.”
“I wish I’d been there too.”
She gives me a watery smile and I can’t help myself; I pull her in for a tight hug and she accepts without delay. And now my arms are around her small form, and she fits perfectly, melting into my front. She’s so close that I know she must feel my erection against her stomach, but I can’t help it. This is how she makes me feel. Now she knows the extent of my attraction.
And I can indeed scent her arousal.
A smile widen across my face.
“I think you still want me as more than just your employee,” she mumbles against my bare chest, but does not back away. Instead, she snuggles closer.
I rest my chin on the top of her head. “I do. I always have. I’ve been doing my best to behave in the professional manner you requested. But I can’t help my reaction when you are so close. Nothing will happen between us unless you make the first move. You will never be pressured. You can remain here for as long asyou want, with nothing but an employee relationship between us, and then you leave. I only want what is best for you.”
“You are so kind,” she says, hugging me tighter. “Exactly the antidote I need. I feel lucky to have met you, Thorn Flagstone.”
“And I feel lucky to have met you too, Mica Robertson.”
“Thorn?”
