They sat for a long time in silence, which Rao had learned to enjoy simply because Lexi seemed to like it. He didn’t mind it as long as he was with her. Her essence thrilled him in every imaginable way.
A faint whisper broke the silence, her voice tracing softly across his skin. “How old were you when your parents died?” she asked.
Rao gazed up into the sky. Time felt different after he lost two of the people he loved the most. Weeks could feel like years, whereas years could sometimes feel like mere seconds. “About twelve. I think that's close to fifteen in Earth years,” he replied. “My brother Jagi is about a year younger than me.”
Lexi perked up, raising an eyebrow at him. “I didn’t know you had a brother,” she said.
Rao nodded. “Yes, we don’t really speak.”
“Why is that?” Lexi had leaned forward on her palm, watching him closely.
She had wrapped her legs around themselves and curled into the chair. He noticed that her breasts were loose in her tank top, peaking out into the light as she gazed at him thoughtfully. Rao thought that she looked like a sculpture sitting there, transcendently beautiful.
“He ...” Rao spoke, getting his thoughts together. “He had to decide in the battle who to save. He chose me instead of my parents.”
Both of Lexi’s eyebrows shot up. Rao was looking at her intermittently, not only because he feared judgment but because she was so fucking gorgeous in her casual look of interest and concern.
“So you don’t speak to him because of this decision? Is he ashamed?”
Rao shook his head, staring down to the floor of the balcony as he spoke. “I have been angry and resentful toward him ever since the incident,” he replied. “I wish that he had chosen them instead of me.”
Lexi untangled her legs, then crossed them in front of her. Her voice was respectful but also a little bit forceful. “So your brother had to make this awful decision, then he lost his parents, and then he has his brother hate him because of it?”
Rao’s heart skipped a beat as he thought about what she said. He had never seen it that way before. He looked up at Lexi, feeling his eyes glass over with sadness.
“I know it sounds horrible. I never thought of it that way before. But I think after so long, the bridges have already been burned. There isn’t much to salvage within the relationship.”
After a few seconds of silence, Lexi stood from the chair she was sitting in and walked over to Rao. She stood over him for a moment, then reached out to cup his chin. She lifted his gaze to meet hers, and Rao had to swallow every impulse to pull her in close.
“Why did you tell me all of this?” she asked.
Rao sighed. “You’ve done nothing but be honest with me and share with me all of your woes. It would only make sense for me to do the same with you.”
Her smile beamed at him, and before he could say anything more, Lexi pushed his hands apart so she could sit on his lap. She settled onto him perfectly, her lovely thighs draped across his own and her ample bottom pressing into his crotch. She wrapped one arm around his shoulders, then left the other to linger on his cheeks.
Her eyes were blazing and difficult to look at as Rao sat there, too stunned to speak.
“Thank you,” she whispered.
Rao was finally able to regain himself and curled his arms around her waist, pulling her in closer. Her scent engulfed him, as did the rapid beating of her heart. Lexi moved her fingers slowly over his face, a thumb finding his lower lip. He felt his cock getting hard beneath her as she traced his lips, with Rao instinctively parting them for her.
He would do anything in the world that she ever wanted.
“I’m sorry about your parents,” she said sweetly. “And your brother. For everything.”
Rao felt the sadness swell in his chest, but Lexi had planted her lips upon his before it could come bursting forward.
It was a still, supple kiss at first, holding each other in the warm sunlight. But soon enough, Lexi broke the stillness as she opened her luscious mouth and welcomed in his tongue.
Her lips were silky as he ravaged her and pulled her in even closer as he ran his hands over her bare thighs. He helped her adjust so she was straddling him, making out passionately on the balcony as his kingdom below went on with their lives.
Lexi rocked her pelvis against him, causing his cock to harden astronomically. She must have felt it because she gasped and pulled away from their lip-locking, with a naughty look on her face.
“Rao,” she said breathlessly.
He had moved his mouth to her neck, lapping up her taste desperately. She drove him crazy. She moaned and pressed her body into him as he moved down her tank top to the valley between her breasts, licking at her and teasing her bosom with nips and licks.
“Rao, Rao,” she repeated in a sultry voice.
