fingers over the fabric and her nipples beaded and pushed against the interior of her bra. “It is. It supports and gives a morale boost to the women wearing it. Sort of an I know something you don’t know moment.”
    “I am a fan of it right now and very glad that you have chosen to share this moment with me.”
    She tried to chuckle, but his hands were caressing, squeezing and stroking her skin through the confines of her clothing.
    She moaned and squirmed when his mouth joined the mix. Sky reached behind her to unclasp her bra, but Tavik gripped her hands.
    “No, the first night is not for consummating the union but rather for getting to know each other. Undergarments stay on.”
    Her mind reeled in shock, but her body didn’t care as he worked his way down her ribs and belly with first hands and then his mouth.
    Her belt clanked as the scissors hit the floor. He worked the rest of her dress off her hips with deliberate slowness and then he ran his hands over her from shoulder to ankle setting off a cascade of shivers and a distinct slickness seeped onto the interior of her panties.
    Blushing, she watched his nostrils flare as he neared the black silk.
    His lips curved and his lids grew heavy as he breathed in deep. “Your scent is intoxicating, it makes me crave a taste, but that will have to wait for the second night.”
    “Second night?”
    He laughed and stroked up the back of her thighs with his fingertips. “There is a night for every romantic advancement in my culture. Each one is embraced and celebrated so that no new sensation is ever lost in the mix.”
    She blinked at him, owl-eyed. “That seems sensible.” Her voice was a breath of sound during his tracing of her inner thighs.
    He laughed and got to his feet. “I believe that we should adjourn to the bed. A level surface makes things so much easier.”
    His clothing disappeared while she slowly edged her way to the bed, keeping her body facing his so she wouldn’t miss the great reveal.
    His blue and gold colouring continued under his clothing and the shading made the ridged muscles of his abdomen stand out in sharp relief. Her fingers curled with the urge to touch and her mouth watered at all of that exposed skin. He kept his tight trousers on and her belly clenched when she realized that he wasn’t wearing anything under them.
    He had to sit on the edge of the bed to remove his boots, so she took advantage of her target and stroked her fingers over the slabs of muscle on his back. He felt even better than he looked and she didn’t think that that was possible.
    Warm, hard and silky soft at the same time, his skin was an exercise in contrasts. He arched under her hands and she heard a low rumble come from his throat.
    On impulse, she ran her fingers through his hair, along his scalp and he shuddered at her touch. Sighing happily, she slid her hands over his shoulders and down the planes of his chest, enjoying the feel of him as she explored.
    When her fingers reached his waistband, his hands covered hers and pressed them to his belly. “That is a little too much for my self-control, Sky.”
    She sighed and wiggled her fingers teasingly. “Sorry, I couldn’t resist.”
    When he freed her hands, she trailed them back up his chest and then down the powerful columns of his arms.
    He twisted in her grip and lunged, forcing her flatly to the bed. “Something tells me that you will always test my patience and my self-control.”
    She snorted. Her mind had shown her a number of couplings with Tavik, stretching far into the future. “It seems that it will become my hobby to push you to the edge of sanity and you will enjoy every moment of it.”
    He pressed his lips against her neck before he started laughing, but when he opened his mouth and the press of his teeth against her skin made her moan and arch violently, he stopped and groaned instead. “I am beginning to think that there are detriments to knowing your lover’s weaknesses before you have
