He couldn’t answer Phate’s question when he didn’t have an answer himself.
Chapter Three
Kien didn’t know howhe’d survived the day being close to Nisha and not touching her. Spending seven hours alone with her had been a test of his willpower.
Each time she released her grip on the steering wheel to flex and unflex her fingers, he’d wanted to caress and stretch them out for her. When she rubbed the back of her neck, his hands itched to replace hers.
He’d wanted to ask if he could sit in the backseat and use his thumbs to work out the strained muscles in her neck, back and shoulders but he was sure she would’ve given him that fiery gaze Nisha often did when she looked his way.
He deserved her ire because of the way he’d treated her on their first date. He was new to the ways of American dating, but not to how a male should treat a female he was interested in.
The first time he’d met her was at the apartment building on one of her visits with Tasha. Her smile and sparkling personality immediately piqued his interest. He’d dismissed those initial feelings because he, Phate and Solgre had been overwhelmed with all things Earth and Human.
The friendly banter they shared on the dating app drew him in and he found himself sending her messages he knew would raise her ire. Her responses were rapid-fire and hardened his cock.
At other times his messages hinted at the things he would do to her if he got her alone. Those received casual answers and he wasn’t sure if he was misunderstanding the way Earth males handled the females they wanted to have sex with.
In light of that, he hadn’t expected much from the date. He was on an assignment. One he enjoyed thoroughly. Earth had so many women available at the press of the button and they all seemed to enjoy his attention. He’d been going on two to three dates with just as many bed partners a day. Yes, this assignment was the best he’d ever had.
Then Nisha strutted through the restaurant entrance oozing confidence and radiating elegance. In an instant, his attraction for her had roared to the forefront.
She’d worn a red short dress that hugged her petite curves. Her heels had matched the dress and accentuated her lovely legs. Her confidence and radiance had been unmatched. He’d likened her to a ruler who was skilled at owning a room and having people cater to her. There’d been power emanating from her that could command armies.
He’d been mesmerized. He’d spent his adult life visiting different planets and immersed in other species’ culture. He knew beauty. He knew art. He knew glamour.
Nisha was all of thoseandperfection.
It had taken him seven Earth minutes to realize Nisha wasn’t like any of the other females he’d entertained thus far. She was in a category separate and apart.
The knowledge had hit him in that moment. If he was to complete the mission Solgre had given him successfully, getting involved with Nisha couldn’t happen. So, he’d had to abort his previous plan of feeding and bedding her and act like what the humans called, a jerk. He’d done that and had tried to avoid her ever since.
So, why had he accepted this mission with the very female who could make him unravel? Because he was a glutton for punishment. Day one of their road trip had proved that. Besides rubbing her shoulders and caressing her fingers, he’d also wanted to relieve the tension around her mouth by kissing her jawline, ears and down her neck.
Nisha yawned, pulling his thoughts back to the dark night and the road ahead of them. “I think it’s time for us to call it a night.”
Kien turned to see Nisha wearing her exhaustion like a piece of clothing. It was heavy enough to cause her shoulders to roll forward. When she glanced at him quickly, it was with red eyes and droopy eyelids. As the day had worn on, he’d watched her energy slowly deflate.
