I dropped my legs, and he set me down. Then I pointed at his leaf covering, then mine, and made a crude gesture with my hands, sticking my pointer finger into the fist of my other hand in a very telling rhythm. “Sex,” I repeated.
I watched his face carefully to see the word register. His teal cheeks grew a few shades darker, and his silver eyes sparked. Then all at once, his hands were in my hair and his face crashed against mine.
Feeling quite smug at the progress of my English tutoring, I met his kiss with the same ferocity and reached down to his leaf covering, trying to figure out how to unravel it. After a few moments of fumbling, I gave up and pulled his dick out from the side and wrapped my hand as far around it as it would go, my fingers not quite touching. How I’d taken him so many times last night and was still walking this morning would be one of the great mysteries of the universe. Kex growled into my mouth, and I gave him a firm pump. I pulled away from him and dropped to my knees. I glanced up to make sure he was still with me, and his expression was so full of male pride I almost laughed. Instead, I gave him another pump, then ran my tongue up the underside of his shaft. He growled and dug his fingers into my hair.
A small bead of white formed at the tip of his dark teal dick, and I leaned in and licked it. Flavor burst over my tongue, and I had to pause. It tasted sweet, shockingly sweet, with an underlying flavor that was familiar yet alien. I licked him again, but no new bead had formed. I could fix that. Releasing him for a moment, I licked my palm, then wrapped my hand back around him, pumping steadily as I ran my tongue around his tip. I licked down the side, feeling his ridges as I went. They were firmer than veins but not as hard as cartilage, wrapping his shaft in an opposite spiral pattern and almost forming a loose grid all the way to his base. He didn’t have any hair here, like a normal human, but the soft downy fur covering the rest of his body was present along his groin, stopping just before it reached his shaft. I wrapped my lips around his tip, about all I was going to fit, and sucked as I reached under him and felt his sack. It was warm and soft, and I gave it a light squeeze. Bingo. Kex growled again, and a small spurt of sweet warmth hit my tongue. I savored it.
This freaking alien had cum that tasted like maple syrup.
It wasn’t exactly the same, but close enough I wouldn’t mind if he jizzed on my pancakes. I licked him clean, running my tongue along his seam, then again down his shaft and back up, sucking him between my lips again. Before I could get another taste, Kex’s hands were on my shoulders and he pulled me to my feet. He reached for my skirt, but I batted his hand away. He stopped and pulled back, concern on his face, but I only turned and showed him how my skirt could easily flip up. His hands were back on me in an instant, and he bent me over the fallen tree like a proper forest alien’s ho.
I braced myself on the tree as his fingers found their way between my legs. He growled when he realized how wet I was, and a moment later, that delightful dick was at my entrance. I gasped as he thrust into me in one quick movement. Then I was moaning as he pumped into me, hard and fast. My climax beganto build, a tantalizing pressure in my core, as he grunted and slammed into me. He growled and said something in his deep, raspy voice, and it sent me over the edge. I exploded, my body clamping around him as he sped up. With a final roar, I felt him expand inside me, his dick pulsing as warmth flooded my passage.
Chest heaving, he slid out of me with a pop and sank to the ground, pulling me onto his lap. We leaned into each other as we came down from our releases, his cum slowly dripping out of me onto the forest floor. I reached down and gripped his dick, feeling the tip, now rounder and a bit thicker than the rest of him, as it gently pulsed in my hand. I ran my thumb across the tip and plopped it into my mouth. “Mmmm, good,” I said and tipped my head up to him.
“Emily good.” He leaned down and gently kissed me, then tucked my head under his chin and held me tightly.
I sighed and melted into him, so incredibly thankful this alien man had found me at my lowest. I didn’t know what tomorrow would hold or what would happen when we reached his family, but my heart told me this man was mine, and I wouldn’t entertain any thoughts that suggested otherwise.
Kex had forever altered every expectation I’d ever held for a romantic partner.
I’d never had anyone in my life I wanted as much as I wanted Kex. Not just his body, but his kindness, his smiles, his grins, and that little frown he got whenever I tripped. I adored the focused determination he brought to every task he set himself, from cooking us dinner to pleasuring my body.
Since being kidnapped by aliens, the rest of my life hadn’t felt like it would be very long. Yes, I’d been ready to fight and do everything I could to keep myself and the other women alive, but deep down, it felt like a futile pursuit. From the time I’d woken up on that spaceship and realized our situation, I hadn’texpected to last long, but I’d resolved to make the most of whatever time I had left.
Now?
Everything seemed different. The possibilities before me were infinite. Yes, I might get some weird infection and die on this world without antibiotics, or maybe the alien water would be a magical elixir and I’d have another two hundred years ahead of me.
I didn’t know what Kex planned for the future. We didn’t share words that meant forever or love or marriage, but as he held me close and our heartbeats calmed, I felt absolutely certain that whatever future I did have would be spent cherishing this man. And if I was wrong, and we returned to Kex’s family to discover he had another woman, or I was only a passing diversion until he found someone of his own species his family approved of... I’d just have to deal.

Kex
When I feltlike my legs would hold me once more, I carefully set my mate down, tucked my cock back into my loincloth, and adjusted my gear so I could carry her for the rest of the day. We could get a few more hours in before the sun dropped too low, and if we split the time with me carrying her, we would cut a few days off the journey.
My Emily had been so distraught over her lost people, and I hadn’t had the words to explain that by the time we reached the village, the need to hunt her people down might no longer be necessary. I sent a silent prayer to Monai to watch over herfamily,as she called it. If her people were as defenseless as she was, they needed all the protection they could get.
My lovely mate made a sad noise when I pulled her back to her feet but didn’t protest climbing onto my back this time. I set off through the forest at a steady pace I could maintain until the night forced us to stop. If I was by myself, I could continue past dark, but I wouldn’t risk my mate to the dangers that increased after nightfall.
When the sun sank and the forest darkened, I found a soft spot among the trees and set up a nest. We ate the prepared foodI’d brought and would do without a fire for the night. With the blanket I’d packed and my mate held close to my body, we would be warm enough. After an early night to bed, we could be up with the sun and on our way quickly.
My mate winced and hissed as I cleaned and replaced the healing paste in her ranook bites, and I made a note to check them over in the morning light since they seemed to pain her more than they had earlier in the day. After packing away our dinner things and setting my spear within easy reach, I pulled my Emily down next to me and tucked her against my chest to sleep. We lay like that for a few moments before my mate rolled over and gave me a look I couldn’t interpret.
I ran a finger over her brow and across her cheek. “Sleep,my dearest Emily.”
Her little eyebrows pulled together in a frown. “No sleep,” she said and smacked my chest with her weak little hand.
I snatched her hand and held it against my chest. “Yes, sleep,” I said in her words.
She bit my chest, then licked her way down and sucked my nipple. Clearly, my mate wasn’t tired enough yet.
I growled and rolled her onto her back, catching her gasp with my lips. I kissed her until her eyes were glazed and unfocused, then worked my way down her body and wrung two orgasms out of her with my tongue and lips. I sank into her hard and fast, and after we both orgasmed together, I lay down next to her and once again tucked her against my chest.
She let out the sweetest little contented sigh. “Kexgood,” she said. “Somuchbetterthangood, Kex.Iwishicouldtellyouhowmuchilovethisbeingwithyou.Ithinkiloveyou, Kex.Andnotjustbecauseyoumakemecomeharderthanieverhavebefore.”
