honest, I didn’t care that much about nudity. This was an alien planet, and I’d never been too hung up on modesty. Boobs were boobs and butts were butts, right? Still, it was pretty cool he gave me privacy. I quickly slid off my pants and untied my top before sliding into the warm qua. I let out a long moan, reveling in the feel of getting clean. I dunked my head under and rubbed the qua out of my eyes. With a contented sigh, I relaxed back on the rocks behind me, the qua up to my collarbones, and turned my face up into the sun with my eyes closed.
A shadow fell across my eyelids, and I looked to find Heart making his way around the outside of the pool toward the waterfall. “Heart?” I called after him.
He jerked at the sound of my voice and looked at me over his shoulder. His aura was calm, so I knew everything was okay. He motioned toward me with his palms down. Stay. I could have gotten annoyed at him for giving me Fido commands, but he didn’t have another way to communicate, so I let it slide.
He picked his way up the small cliff, scaling it like a monkey before reaching the top. I could barely make him out up there. His skin blended into the foliage around him, but his black and white hair stood out like a beacon. He entered the stream above the cliff and then without warning, braced his hands over his head and dove down the waterfall.
I cried out his name in surprise just as he landed in the water with a small splash which would have scored great in the Olympics. He surfaced quickly, the water beading off his scales like he was coated in a thin oil.
He swam toward me until he could walk on the bottom. He rose out of the water like Jason freaking Momoa in Aquaman, all long, dripping hair and bulging pecs and Christ on a Cracker he was completed naked.
Na-a-ked. Somewhere in the time he’d dove down the waterfall, he’d lost his pants and I could not look away from his giant blue cock. Girthy, long, and pierced at the tip with a heavy ring, it hung between his legs at perfect attention.
My body flushed white hot. I didn’t want to stare. I didn’t want to look away. I wasn’t sure which part of his body held my attention more—his intense eyes and rippling abs, or hard dick. Oh, and his muscled thighs. Also, his square jaw. Damn, his veined hands.
He kept coming, and his aura pulsed a steady beat, the smoke taking on a hazy red tinge that made my toes curl.
I should have felt fear, but I didn’t. I had never been so aware of my nakedness. My breasts felt heavy, my nipples pebbled despite the warmth of the qua, and my core clenched.
I was a mess because I was about to risk it all for this blue hunk of alien.

The Warrior
She was aroused. Her color had deepened, rising up her neck to flush her face, and her brown eyes were glassy. The bloom undulated in a steady rhythm, the petals seeming to beckon me. Closer. Touch me.
I had never in my life thought I’d see an aroused female, let alone one who looked that way because of me. I hadn’t thought twice about taking off my coverings. I did it all the time when I came to this spring to get clean. But I hadn’t been hard then either, not like I was now, not like I’d been since I woke up.
It was an odd feeling, for my cock to be so thick. The flesh slapped against my thighs, and my balls hung heavy and full.
She did that to me. My Merr-anda.
My mind buzzed with the need to be inside her, to release my seed, to claim this female as my own. On the heels of that possessive urge came anger. I wouldn’t let any males take her away from me.
Merr-anda let out a small cry of distress and rose out of the water to her waist. She smashed her back up against the rocks behind her, an arm across her breasts. The bloom in my mind shriveled. A warning. I hesitated and studied her as her chest heaved, not out of arousal. But out of fear.
What had I been thinking? Fleck, I’d scared her. This wasn’t how honorable warriors acted, and that was who
