ALEENA
She did drift off eventually and it seemed like only a few minutes later before Bear was coming back into the room.
“Oh, are you back already, my Bear?” Aleena sat up, blinking.
“Yes, baby.” He came over to the side of the bed. “Are you sure you want to do this tonight?”
“Absolutely positive,” Aleena said firmly.
“All right then, come on.”
He lifted her out of bed and when Aleena protested that she could walk, he shook his head.
“No, baby—I want to carry you. You’re mine and I’m not letting you go.”
Aleena relented and leaned her head against his broad chest. She had a blurred impression of the huge ship as he carried her through it. The Kindred Mother Ship was like a city in space with so many things to see and do. Aleena was certain she would love living there but for now, she just wanted to get back to the place she would be calling “home.”
Bear brought her to a well-appointed suite—as the silver door slid open she saw that it was small but spacious and tastefully decorated with large, overstuffed furniture that was just the right size for her big Kindred husband.
The living area had a fire wall where the blue and gold flames danced and flickered. Sitting in front of the flames was a strange looking chair but Aleena barely had time to look at it before Bear carried her into another room.
This one had a large round tub set into the floor and the water inside was steaming and fragrant.
“What’s this?” Aleena asked, looking at it with interest.
“This is the bathing pool, baby. I thought we could take a bath together first. You know, take things slowly,” Bear rumbled.
Aleena liked the idea of being naked and wet with her husband.
“That sounds wonderful, my Bear,” she murmured. “I’d like that.”
“Let’s get undressed then.”
He finally put her down and the two of them stripped, leaving their clothes by the side of the steaming pool. Bear got in first and then held out his arms for her. Aleena joined him and settled against his broad chest with a happy sigh.
Bear washed her gently, using his hands and a foaming sponge that made mounds of pink, sweet-smelling lather. He paid special attention to her face and mentioned that her bruises were healing nicely.
“Your lip is almost healed too,” he remarked and leaned down to give her a very gentle kiss on the mouth.
Aleena kissed him back carefully, happy that the sharp pain was gone. Truly, Kindred medical technology was wonderful. It amazed her that her injuries had been healed so quickly!
After being in the bathing pool for some time, though, she was ready to go on with their night. Her muscles felt loose and relaxed and she wanted to feel Bear inside her.
“My Bear,” she said to him, giving him another kiss. “Please—are we done bathing yet? I want you to change the color of my eyes now.”
His eyes went heavy-lidded with lust but he shook his head.
“In a minute, baby. I have to get you ready first.”
“How?” Aleena frowned, trying not to be impatient.
“You’ll see.” Going to the edge of the pool, he grabbed for one of the large, fluffy towels that were stacked there. He unfolded it and laid it out beside the pool, then he beckoned for Aleena. “Come here, sweetheart.”
Mystified as to what he was doing, Aleena came to him. She gave a little gasp when he lifted her by the waist, out of the pool, and laid her on the towel. However, she wasn’t completely out—her lower legs were still dangling down into the warm water and she was laying on her back with her thighs slightly spread.
“Oh my Bear—what are you doing?” she asked breathlessly.
“Getting you ready, baby.” A hungry light was in his golden eyes and he was already moving between her legs. Since he was still in the pool, he only had to duck down a little to place a soft kiss on the top of her mound.
Aleena shivered with anticipation. She had been getting rather overheated in the pool, so lying out on the towel felt cool and refreshing. Also, seeing her husband get into position between her thighs made her heart pound.
“My husband, are you going to taste me?” she asked softly.
“Mmm, what do you think, baby?” His voice had dropped to a low growl and he had that hungry, lustful look he always got when he licked and tasted her pussy. It always surprised Aleena how much he liked to do this, especially since no man on her own planet would even consider it because they thought it was beneath them. But the Kindred apparently didn’t feel that way.
“Good girl—spread nice and wide for me.” As he spoke, Bear ran his big hands up and down her inner thighs, opening her even wider for him.
