made me wonder: Why did I want to show my body off to Gin?

Gin

Tonakk was… a beautiful specimen of Sitor. Hell, he was a beautiful masculine specimen of pretty much any species.

His body was surprisingly similar to a Terran. The only differences I really noticed were that the skin of his upper chest appeared textured, his body looked like it was chiseled from a block of stone, and his fingers and toes ended up darker colors, with thick curved talons.

When he turned around his back was just as beautiful as his front. I had no idea what was beneath the clothing he held in front of him but I wondered if that area was similar as well.

I could feel my body heat rise while he stood there letting me see him. Thank Aylef that the wall curved and that I was short enough to hide behind it, because my nipples were hard enough to stab someone. And that scent was there again, the spicy flower scent, which I swear seemed to make me a little wetter between my legs. What was it about that scent?

I used a cleaning setting on the fresher, alternating with a deep clean. It had been a very long time since I properly bathed, unless you count soaking in the ocean until the opia began circling me, or standing out in the rain storm. Those helped to rinse dirt but not so much with actual cleaning or scent.

For the first time in a very long time, I felt clean. I smelled clean. I worked my comb through the length of my hair, not realizing how long it had gotten. Seeing myself in a reflective surface was an experience as well. I no longer looked like a youngling. The curve of my hips and breasts, despite being a little thin due to food scarcity, were rounded and nicely formed. I had no idea what I looked like to others before now.

I didn't get to change into my short clothes because on the fresher table I saw folded cloth which was not there when I first entered. It was laid next to my own set. I opened it to find a column sheath, a pair of short pants vaguely similar to my own, a wrap top, and a thick body wrap to wear over my skin for modesty. I chose the body wrap and secured the cord around the waist, carrying the rest of the items out with me.

"Tonakk?" I paused at his open portal.

He came, wrapped in animal fur bottoms again. I noticed this set was different skins, and that I could see his sides through the sheer panels beneath the skins. I decided it was sexy.

"I just wanted to thank you, for the clothing. The um… skin protectors?" I nodded to myself like an idiot, stopping when I realized. Did he get the chance to use a fresher somewhere else? Because damn he smelled good. That spicy floral scent seemed to trail after him now, filling rooms with his scent. It was intoxicating.

He was staring at me again, taking in my hair, the details of my face. "I hope they fit you well. I was unsure about sizing for you but I did not wish you to wear your skin protectors again until they were properly cleaned. I will show you where we take them, when we continue our tour. Would you like to finish seeing my craft?"

Was he nervous? He seemed nervous. That was a first.

"Sure, l will change and we can go." I retreated to my temporary space, excited to have a soft sleeping platform for the evening. I removed the body wrap and decided to wear the wrap top and the short pants. I looked closer at them, realizing the shirt had a light pattern of pale red flowers, and the short pants had thin pale red stripes.

I looked around for my foot covers, only to find them gone and a replacement pair near the door. These were… different. They were red and made to slip a foot into. Covered in soft cloth they looked to be as thickly cushioned like the sitting benches in the entrance room. I inserted my feet and took a few steps. Birther of Aylef, it was like walking on air! I nearly moaned at how nice they felt on my feet.

I grabbed my clothes that needed cleaning and met Tonakk near the entry to his suite of rooms. My shoes were dangling from his talons, which made
