Humans were all soft skin and curves, and they looked weak compared to Calphesian’s, but Aedian found that, in this case, he didn’t mind. He didn’t mind because she was perfect for touching and kissing, and there were no sharp bits to get in the way that he’d have to look out for.
When he slid a large hand down her back to cup her bottom, she moaned softly and pushed into it, and when he dragged his claws over the supple curves, she shuddered.
“Do not put those in me,” she said, trying to sound stern, but Aedian imagined it was hard to do that when you were aroused.
He could smell her arousal in the air, and it made his mouth water.
“I wouldn’t,” he assured her and then lifted her up so he could carry her to the bedroom. She yelped and protested for a bit, but when he dumped her onto the bed, her legs fell open, revealing her sex and how it was already wet for him.
The delicious scent of her desire was more in here, and Aedian didn’t know if that was because the lights were low or because being in his bed made things better, but he didn’t care. He climbed on top of her and held her gaze for a moment before lowering his head and licking right at her core where that scent was the heaviest.
“Oh God, ” Roxanne gasped, hips arching up.
Aedian licked again, slower this time, paying attention to that sensitive bundle of nerves that he’d heard about from the others of his kind who already had human wives or who slept with humans.
He lapped at it, her juices flooding his mouth, and when her hips arched up off the bed, it was clear that he hadn’t been led astray. Aedian used one hand to push her hips back down, forcing her to restrict her movements to just grinding, and he soaked up the little whimpers that were falling from her lips.
It was amazing how she had been so fierce and angry just less than an hour before, but now she was practically mewling for more.
He hadn’t liked her much, either, but like this, under him and clearly enjoying his touch, he found that he liked her very much.
By the time he was sitting up to open the front of his pants, Roxanne was sprawled across the bed, breathing hard. She was still soaking wet between her legs, and judging from the way she had writhed and cried out and then shoved his head away, he was guessing she had already found her release.
He didn’t know if she was going to find it again, but just the way she had moved and sounded and tasted had him hard in his pants, and he pulled out his cock, watching her eyes widen comically at the sight of it.
Aedian knew (and was smug about) the fact that he was much larger than most human males, considering that it was proportional to the size of the rest of him.
“Is that even going to fit?” she asked, but it seemed more like she relished the challenge more than she was afraid of it.
Honestly, that was more of a turn on than anything, and he growled lightly and rubbed the head of his cock against the sweet wetness between her legs, enjoying the silky feel of her heat. “Yes,” he assured her. “It will.”
He went slowly, though, not wanting to hurt her, watching her face for signs of distress so he could stop.
All he saw on her face was pleasure, though, and she spread her legs wider and arched her hips as he sunk in inch by inch, stretching and filling her until he was fully seated inside.
Aedian held himself above her on his forearms and they both panted for breath, holding still for long seconds. When Roxanne shuddered and tightened around him, Aedian had to move, and he set a steady pace, snapping his hips and burying himself in her again and again.
In this, at least, they could be united.
Chapter 4: Culture Clash
A week into her engagement (and she used that term lightly), and Roxanne was about ready to pull her hair out. She knew what was expected of her, and she knew that this was important, but honestly, Aedian was driving her crazy.
It didn’t help that the sex was
