"So it can help out and attack? No thanks."

Hm. Excellent point. "Okay then, we'll do it like I did with the cat. I'll pet you for a little while, and then you need to flop to the ground and show me your belly."

Kaspar stares at me long and hard. I give him a challenging look and then move toward him, rubbing my hands all over him and “petting” him like I did the cat. His cock twitches and starts to rise again the moment I touch him, but I'm not surprised. He's a guy, and it doesn't take much to turn a guy on.

"Who's my good boy?" I coo to him, having too much fun with this.

"Cruel female," he whispers, and then drops to the ground, rolling onto his back and gazing up at me. I can feel the cat twitch to alertness behind me, so I move to kneel next to Kaspar and keep touching him, as if he's just another pet. When the beast doesn't attack, I smile down at Kaspar, finally meeting his gaze.

His eyes are blazing with lust as he stares up at me.

Oooh. I should have expected that. He was turned on before I touched him, so of course he's still aroused with me rubbing all over him. I smile down at him, and pause, gazing at his mouth. He'd insisted I kiss him. Rub my scent all over him.

Before I can think too hard about it, I sling my leg over his hips and straddle his big body. He groans but makes no move to touch me. I'm in charge in this moment, and whatever I want to do to him, he's going to let me.

The thought's a heady one. I lean forward over Kaspar and I'm about to kiss him when a thought occurs to me. I pause, my mouth hovering over his. "Have you ever done this before?"

"Mating? Many times." His chest moves with his breathing, and I can feel it under my hips. "I'm a pro at mating."

"I'm referring to kissing," I say dryly.

"No, but I'm always eager to learn new things."

Oh, I bet he is. If they had a picture of “eager” in the alien dictionary, it'd be a photo of Kaspar. I smile down at him, because when it comes to kissing, I like to think I'm pretty good. "Prepare to learn, then."

I close the distance between us and press my mouth to his.

KASPAR

I know all about kissing.

Well, from a vid perspective, of course. My sister Zoey always moped about Earth in her teenage years and so we'd get her vids from the black markets as presents. We'd watch them with her, of course. Humans are endlessly creative when it comes to their entertainment. Most Homeworld vids are news-oriented or gladiator matches. Humans have stories. Stories with a lot of kissing in them.

I've seen it many times on vids. Doesn't look all that hard. You just press your mouth against the other person's and then shove your tongue into the other person's mouth. They'll swoon with delight, and then…that's it, really. Sometimes it leads to mating, and in the older human vids, it'd lead to a dance number of some kind, which I found bizarre.

When Alice puts her mouth on mine, though, it's nothing like I thought it'd be. Her lips are soft and warm, her breath sweet. Her fingers brush against my jaw, caressing as she rocks over me and nips at my lower lip with her teeth. That scrape of teeth sends a hot shudder through my aching body. I open my mouth to point out that she's doing it wrong, that humans never use teeth in the vids, and then her tongue is inside my mouth and brushing against mine.

And…I just stop thinking. Entirely.

Alice controls the kiss. She flicks her tongue against mine in small, lazy sweeps, dipping into my mouth as if she's tasting me. I'm helpless under her, and I keffing like it. I like that she's confident enough to nip at my lower lip. I like that she's rocking over me, her hands on my skin as her sleek tongue delves into my mouth. When it grazes mine, it sends a bolt of lust straight to my cock, and I want nothing more than to grab her and deepen the kiss. To claim her as mine.

Instead, I have to remain still as she lifts her head and gives me a confident smile, her lips pink and swollen from kissing me.

I lick my lips, hungry to taste her. "That was…"

The carinoux butts in, shoving its face against Alice's cheek, demanding attention.

She sputters, laughing, and her arms go around the neck of the creature. It ignores me in favor of her, rubbing against her and acting like a jealous child. The slinky tail thwaps against my horns and the carinoux sits right next to my head.
