little pussy,” he explained, still chuckling.
“Oh!” Kara looked down and her cheeks got pink with a blush. “You, uh, you do, don’t you?” she murmured and Raak could tell she wasn’t sure how to handle the situation at all. He supposed they didn’t teach proper young ladies on the Mother Ship how to ask a male to remove his fingers from her honey pot once they were done with the loving.
Taking pity on her, he slipped his fingers out without another word, and brought them to his face, still wet with her honey.
“Oh…” Kara looked at him uncertainly. “What are you…?”
“Scenting you,” Raak told her. Closing his eyes, he inhaled deeply, taking in her fresh, sweet scent and loving it. “Gods, baby girl, you smell so damn good,” he growled, looking at Kara.
“I…I do?” she looked down at him, wide-eyed.
“Uh-huh. Let’s see if you taste as good as you smell,” Raak growled, and sucked his fingers into his mouth.
Her juices were sweet and salty and perfect, just like Kara herself, he thought. Damned if he didn’t have the urge to put her on her back, spread her legs, and taste her honey straight from the source!
But Raak knew if he went that far, he’d want to go farther. And he couldn’t let himself do that—couldn’t take Kara’s virginity and change the color of her eyes when he couldn’t offer her anything in return.
So he contented himself with slowly sucking her sweet juices off his fingers while he held her gaze with his, never looking away as he tasted her honey.
“Raak,” she whispered at last, but then seemed to not know what to say.
Raak finally drew his fingers out of his mouth.
“Delicious,” he growled, letting her know exactly how much he loved her secret flavor. “You have the sweetest pussy honey I’ve ever tasted, baby girl.”
“Oh, um…” Kara turned bright red and bit her lip…which resulted in her giving a little cry of pain.
“My fangs!” she exclaimed, reaching up to feel them.
“What about them?” Raak asked, frowning. She had drawn blood again, he noticed—her lush lower lip had a ruby red droplet on it.
“They feel every bit as long and sharp as they were before!” Kara scrambled off his lap and ran into the fresher to check her appearance in the 3-D viewer. Raak followed her—more from a desire to clean himself up than anything else. The inside of his flight leathers was a sticky situation after the way her bite had made him come so much.
He found her looking at her reflection with tears in her eyes.
“Hey, now, baby girl,” he murmured, putting a hand on her shoulder. “It’s not so bad as all that.”
“Yes, it is!” Kara exclaimed, still staring at herself. “Just look at me! I thought biting you would make them go down but my fangs are even longer and sharper and more prominent than they were before. What’s wrong with me?”
“Nothing is wrong with you,” Raak told her firmly. “You’re beautiful, baby—perfect.”
“You might think so but no other male aboard the Mother Ship or on Earth is going to think so.” Kara looked ready to cry. “I came to Tranq Prime to shrink my fangs but now they’re longer than ever. This is awful.”
“Well…who says you have to go straight back to the Mother Ship?” Raak asked, trying to cheer her up. “I mean, why not fly around the galaxy with me for a while? I didn’t get many trade goods on Tranq Prime but I’ve got a hold full of items for Xephron Five, which is my next stop.”
“Xephron Five?” Kara’s head yanked up as though he had said a magic word. “I’ve heard of that planet before.”
“You have?” Raak frowned. “Not many people go to it, even to trade. It’s a fucking strange place. Takes some getting used to.”
But Kara was pacing around the fresher, running a hand through her hair excitedly.
“I remember where I heard it now! The doctor my Great Uncle and Aunt got to try and pull my fangs—Dr. ThrobGood—when I asked why he couldn’t just shrink my fangs, he said, ‘Oh my dear, I’m not a miracle worker or a Kaji from Xephron Five!’
“A Kaji, huh?” Raak frowned. “As a matter of fact, the being I trade with on X-5 has that title. He—or she, or it—it’s fucking hard to tell—just goes by the name Qi though.”
“Does he, er, it, have some kind of magical or medical power?” Kara asked anxiously. “Do you think it could help me shrink my
