Lia smiled and lowered her gaze. “That’s sweet of you, Dargus.”
“Please, call me Dar.”
She looked up at him from under her long, ginger lashes, her smile turning mischievous. “Only if you stop calling meLiaandpumpkin.”
He sighed dramatically, his tuft turning playful against her skin. “In that case… call me Dargus.”
Lia shook her head, rosy lips curved upwards. “What is it with you andpumpkin, anyway?”
“I read it’s a way to address females on Terra. When I checked what the word meant, I immediately knew I would be integrating it in my vocabulary. Pumpkins are beautiful in their orange perfection, don’t you think?”
She laughed, making the warmth in his chest spread like wildfire through his body. Like that one time he had smoked a Comburkian mushroom as a teen.
“I suppose they’re beautiful, yes. But, Dargus–Dar,” she corrected herself much to his pleasure, “pumpkinis often used by parents to address their little girls. Because pumpkins are sweet, I guess…”
“My point exactly: pumpkins are beautiful and sweet.”
Lia laughed again, but this time there was redness coloring her cheeks. Dargus couldn’t help but stare.So beautiful.
She cleared her throat. “Okay, now that we’ve cleared the pumpkin issue, let’s film this romantic movie.”
To his surprise, the upcoming task didn’t make him anxious this time. Or at least, not as anxious asminuionasago.Because though inexperienced as someone’s mate, he had managed to make Lia laugh and relax in his company. He could do this!
“Um… how do we do this?”
Lia caught his hand and pulled him towards her. “Come sit with your back to the hologram. I’ll sit between your legs and… Uh… You can put your arms around my waist? That way my parents will be able to tell you’re holding me without seeing anything below your shoulders. Or do the stripes on your arms disappear thanks to the device you’re using for your face?”
She was talking, but it was hard to actually hear her words. With her back now pressed to his chest, her enticing scent right under his nose, and her bottom brushing his half-hard primary cock? Dargus was as good as deaf from all the blood rushing to his groin.
“Dar?”
“Yes! The device! Activating the face modifier now.”He pressed the miniscule disk attached below his chin and felt the familiar tingling up to the tips of his hair and down to his collarbone. The feeling was not pleasant, but he once more needed to look like the most attractive male according to Terran standards. That would definitely please Lia’s parents.
“Let’s see…” She picked her communication device from the floor next to her and lifted it up to the level of her head. She slid a clawless finger along the black screen. A moving image of the two of them appeared, his human face next to hers. “Hmm, your stripes are still visible, Dar.”
“Of course, they’re… not covered with… cream.”Great job, Dargus, you sound like an underdeveloped cub now. But Lia was so soft in his arms, so warm. She fit perfectly against him, like she belonged there.
“Dar, didn’t you just say the face gadget hides your arm stripes as well?”
“Um… did I?”
Lia waved her hand dismissively. “Never mind. I’ll make sure only your shoulders are visible, nothing below your sleeves. Everything else looks… good… Not much battery left but we’ll make do with a take or two, I hope. Ready?”
Dargus bit his upper lip, tusks sinking into the soft flesh to give him some clarity. He could enjoy this contact with her lush body now, nothing wrong with that. Afterwards, however, he was not touching her again, the gala being the only exception. How he’d fare then was another matter.
He nodded, and Lia pressed a glowing orb at the bottom of the screen. After that archaic command, she began speaking through what the screen showed him was a huge smile.
“Hi, Mom and Dad! I’ve got a big surprise for you. As you can see for yourselves behind me…” Lia turned to the side and her nose brushed against his cheek; planned or not, it felt amazing. “This is Dar… Say hi to my parents, Dar.”
“Hi, parents.” His voice had grown husky. His control was slipping, and they had barely started the video.
Lia snickered and rested her head against his, cheek to cheek.
Must. Stay. In. Control.
“So, as you can probably tell,” she kept going cheerfully, oblivious to Dargus’ inner struggle, “I’ve got a new boyfriend! Yeah, I know this comes as a shock to you – it was a shock for me as well, trust me. But it happened so fast, like love at first sight! He came to the pub one day, and as soon as our gazes met… bam! He started a conversation – quite awkwardly, I should say.” She laughed, and Dargus felt it against his chest and lower. “But before I knew it, I was swept away and looking at the starry sky with him by my side.”
She giggled and as turned-on as he was, he still managed to appreciate the hidden humor in her story. The way she stuck as close to the truth as possible, Lia would make a good undercover agent.
