Then again, if he caught her looking down there, maybe he would take it as a sign that she was willing to—well, to look down there. If brains knew how to blush, she was pretty sure that’s what hers would be doing after she thought that.
Probably trying to ease the tension in the air, Krai started the word game again. This time, though, instead of objects he started to name body parts. He circumspectly didn’t get too personal, but she did learn the words for arm, leg, face, eye, nose, ear, and finger. At the very last, as they’d finished eating, he casually reached over and ran a thumb over her lips.
“Eeb,” he said, somewhat huskily.
Blushing, she replied, “Mouth.” A hot breath escaped, caressing the questing digits, and Jasmine did not mistake the effect as she looked into his eyes. She didn’t know the words for, “When are you going to kiss me already?” so she just kept watching him instead, feathering little breaths in as tantalizing a manner as possible. Then she dropped her eyes, trying not to get caught as she glanced between his thighs.
She figured he must have seen her, though, because he sucked back a gasp, and then his hand plunged into her hair, tugging her off her chair as he surged up from his own. The next thing she knew she was standing on tiptoes and his eyes were an inch from hers. He hesitated, his breathing almost as ragged as her own. Too frustrated to endure it anymore, Jasmine closed the gap, settling her lips on his with a hungry persistence.
Krai groaned into her mouth, but he didn’t hold back further. His lips crushed over hers, taking and giving and tasting. Their noses bumped awkwardly as he moved in for a deeper kiss, and they both giggled as they figured it out. The laughter quickly died away though, because that was when things started to get serious. His hands, which had been around Jasmine’s waist to draw her in, started to creep slowly up her sides. She was pretty sure they her headed for her breasts.
Much as she wanted to kiss him, she wasn’t at all ready to lose her virginity during the same exchange. She froze up and backed away, her face flaming so much she couldn’t meet his eyes. But it seemed like Krai understood that she was not rejecting him. With a smile, he chucked her under her chin, tilting up her head so she could see his reassuring grin.
“Bed,” he told her, making her nerves flare up again. Taking her hand, he tugged her along beside him, and they laid on the couch together. This time, Jasmine burrowed her face into his chest and flung an arm around his waist. Both of Krai’s arms wrapped around her, holding her close. She could hear the pounding of his heart as the strap closed over them.

Thanks to that little bout of tasting before they laid down, Krai was finding it difficult to fall asleep. He didn’t exactly need to be in bed anyway, since they weren’t at maximum speed while Nibido skipped between the planets surrounding this star. He could easily have got up again. He just didn’t want to.
Not when the object of his desire was so comfortably resting on him, and he had such an overwhelming need to hold her close. His brain started going into overdrive as he imagined things he shouldn’t be. Her skittishness and her blushes finally made sense to him now. She was untried, and that meant she deserved a proper first time. He didn’t want to just go at it on an acceleration couch. She needed to be wined and dined and dressed in soft shuna. And she would be beautiful in it, too.
The war between his mind and his body continued to rage when Nibido arrived with the latest sample pod. Finally Krai slipped off of the couch and went to have a look inside. He had been automatically checking each new find before allowing the mechanoid to move on to another world. One sentient, he was becoming fine with, but he didn’t wish to be forced to claim another.
When he came back out again, Jazz had flipped over so that her back was to him. His cock twinged eagerly to life, and he had to suppress a groan. Just because her species liked to get on top did not suppress the fact that his tended to come in from behind, and seeing her back to him like that nearly drove him wild. If he could plunge right into her, he would not even hesitate.
But fantasy and reality seldom got to be the same, he reminded himself sternly. He returned to the couch and slid in on his side, bringing her into his arms so he could twist them around to a more comfortable position. He was very careful to prevent her body from settling down anywhere near the raging hard-on he didn’t want her to know about, but her hand accidentally brushed over it, and Krai groaned at the casual touch as if he’d been burned.
Jazz stirred and woke, casting him a sweet smile as she turned more fully toward him. She reached up and ran a thumb over his lips, chuckling as she whispered, “Eeb eeb?”
Krai laughed softly as he bent and kissed her. “Eeba,” he supplied.
She crawled up his body to get a bit closer, straddling his as she bent down to kiss him again. When her backside was fully seated, Krai knew there was no possible way she hadn’t noticed how hard he was, but she didn’t seem to mind. If anything, she seemed to like it, since next thing he knew their sexes were pressed together as she began to rub.
“Jazz!” he groaned in protest, though he couldn’t bring himself to make her move away.
“Krai,” she whispered, her own tone pleading as she ran a tongue over his bottom lip. He wasn’t about to ignore that. He sucked her tongue into his mouth and gave it a little nip, making her gasp. Her body began to tremble, and so did his. No female had ever made him tremble like this before.
When his hands came up to cup her breasts this time, Jazz did not shy away. Having her on top of him was doing crazy things to his insides. He remembered very well this time that Nibido had said the mating female had been on top, and he could easily see how that was a good idea. Jazz was so much smaller than him, he’d overwhelm her if he did things any other way.
Another groan escaped his lips as Jazz wriggled into a more comfortable position against him. The dress she wore normally came down past her knees, but it had hiked its way up her thighs in the back, while the front half had slid up out of the way, so that only her undergarments and his spacesuit separated their flesh. Krai desperately wanted both clothing items to be gone immediately. All he could think of was burying himself as deeply as possible within her flesh.
Krai caught the length of her hair in one of his hands, tugging her off of him and laying her on her side, moving in behind her and undulating against her sweet ass. His other hand slipped down to tug at her nipple through the fabric of her dress, and she arched her back, moaning softly.
“Krai!” she cried desperately.
He tugged the dress up further, slipping his hand inside her underwear. His fingers found the wet slit they were looking for, and he rubbed. He found the little nub of pleasure right where it should be, but soon discovered it was a very sensitive one. The wetness drastically increased, and soon he found himself throbbing with the need to yank off her clothes and give her something more.

Jasmine couldn’t believe what she was doing at the moment. More to the point, she couldn’t believe what she was letting Krai do to her. All her misgivings about the boys and men her father had seen fit to bring around evaporated in an instant in the face of Krai’s carnal touch. She never wanted him to stop. In fact, if he flipped her onto her back and took her right this second, she would welcome him with open arms.
Only, he didn’t seem intent on putting her onto her back, but rather onto her belly instead. He hiked her dress up so high he might as well have removed the garment and got it over with. She could tell he was fiddling with the fastenings on his clothes now, particularly those just below his waistline. Her body sang and her heart fluttered madly in her chest.
Did he intend to take her from behind? She didn’t even know people did such things. Every book she’d ever snuck a peek at concerning sex showed the man on top.
Krai hiked her hips upward as he inserted two of his fingers inside of her. Jasmine moaned with delight at the feeling, and she could feel that she’d gotten very wet down there, which he seemed to like
. He moved that wetness all over the area, rubbing her until she thought she would die if he didn’t use something besides his hand.
“Krai!” she whimpered.
When he angled himself behind her and started to press his cock in, she clearly understood why he was being so very thorough. She thought for a moment, as he slid in, that he might have torn her in two, he was so big. She yelped, but at the same time she bucked backwards against him, seating him even more fully in her tightness.
Krai groaned, but held very still, allowing her to adjust to the new sensation. He tilted forward, running a hand over her hardened nipples, and Jasmine bucked again. This time, it sent a wave of pleasure straight up her spine. She bucked a third time, and then a fourth. The man finally took the hint.
As he moved against her, Jasmine discovered through a series of movements of her own that if she arched her back so her backside curved upward a bit, Krai’s heavenly cock hit a spot in her that felt so good she couldn’t seem to stop arching, a little more at a time, until he hit it directly with each and every thrust. And then she started to thrust backward against him, too.
Her body began to convulse all around his cock, sending wave after wave of pleasure crashing over her until she drowned in them, falling forward onto the couch with a grunt. But Krai kept going, groaning against the back of her neck as his body covered hers. She gripped the back of the seat so she wouldn’t keep thumping it with her head.
Seeing her difficulty, Krai chuckled as he pulled free, flipping them around so that she was on the top and impaling her right back onto him. She grunted and bit at her bottom lip. His eyes went wide as the two experimented with the new position. He bit his bottom lip as well, clinging to her as she felt hot liquid spurt up into her.
Krai fell backwards on the couch, taking Jasmine with him. She toppled onto his chest and laid there so long the belt engaged.
“Bed, bed,” he teased.
They giggled, realizing his cock was still inside of her. Krai twitched experimentally, and Jasmine pushed down onto him. With the strap in place, she didn’t have to hold on, leaving her hands free to explore.
At the same time, Krai’s leg came over top of hers, gaining some leverage. He started pumping upwards into her, slowly at first, teasing her back to life. But it didn’t take long before they were moving fast and hard again. Sweat sheened over Jasmine’s forehead as she panted with the effort. It was well rewarded when the pleasure waves crested once again.
Krai’s legs were very slick with their juices, and he disengaged the belt, carrying Jasmine with him into a little side room she hadn’t seen before. It turned out to be some weird kind of a bathing room, similar in size to the restroom she’d discovered soon after waking up that first time, but instead of water it used a scented gel that foamed up all around them as they curled up together in the basin.
While they were getting washed up, Krai took plenty of opportunity to slide his hands over Jasmine’s skin, and before they managed to get out the pair of them were joined together again. Body fluids apparently warmed the gel up even more.
By the time they finally stopped and were fully clothed again, the meal that Nibido had brought to the table for them was completely cold, but Jasmine thought it was well worth the sacrifice.
The only thing she wished she could change about the whole experience was their inability to talk while they cuddled when they went back to bed again. She just looked up into his eyes, smiling gently, and sighed.
With a sudden start of surprise she realized she hadn’t sung a single note of music since she’d awakened here with him, and they’d slept several times now. She didn’t know if days or weeks had gone by, but she did know that up until this, she’d never gone one day without her music.
Grinning as a thought struck her, Jasmine started to sing. She made up a song telling Krai that even though they didn’t know the words, maybe the music would tell him instead how much she enjoyed being with him.
“I’ve lived a life of music, but I sang the words alone, now you come and take me to this deep, dark place, and I’m feeling right at home…”
Krai watched her curiously, smiling at the sounds. Since he had no idea what she was saying Jasmine decided it was safe to pour her heart out.
“Always thought I’d never love somebody, thought I was trapped inside myself, but now I know I just needed, a gorgeous space-alien elf…”
The teasing light in her eyes must have been the reason, but Krai tugged her mouth up to his, kissing her hard. They didn’t come up for air for a very long time.”

Nibido rolled into the Uglata pod and whistled dryly. “So, you’ve known for hours now that the ship’s computer can translate the Uglata’s words, and yet I noticed you have not told her this. Do you not wish to communicate with her, sir?”
“Well, I was about to try, but then other issues seemed to have come up instead,” he shrugged. “She is exhausted right now, though. I think it will be much easier to attempt to speak with her when she isn’t completely passed out. Although, I was able to have the computer translate a song she sang for me that I found quite nice.”
“What did you do to her to conk her out like that?”
Krai smirked. “I let her get on top of me,” he explained.
“Ah, so that’s the reason for the increased number of pheromones in here,” it said sagely. “I thought that might be the case.”
“Nibido, since when have you studied mating habits among sentient beings?” Krai snorted.
“I am responsible for your health and safety, sir,” it pointed out. “If you are going to engage in sexual activities with an alien species, don’t you think it would be wise to ensure there are no issues of compatibility, pregnancy, or disease?”
Krai’s face fell. He said, “Well, I suppose you had best check for all of that, then. She’s got me so worked up I’d completely forgotten about all three.”

Jasmine was just stepping out of the restroom when she felt a sudden, slight prick. Gasping in surprise, she looked down to find that weird robot thing behind her holding up his analyzing device. Obviously it had just harvested some kind of a sample from her.
She wished she had some well to tell it, or Krai, that she was not just some animal they could run tests on without so much as a ‘please’ or a ‘thank you’. It was obvious from viewing all the other things they had in the various pods that they were studying life on other worlds, and it was true that she was ‘life from another world’ herself, but a little common courtesy might be nice.
Except, was it even common courtesy for them? Maybe on Krai’s planet it was standard procedure to walk up to somebody and just poke them in the ass. Then she chuckled as she remembered the way they’d first made love. Apparently it was.
*****
“Sir, I have the results for the tests now,” said Nibido, finding Krai in the Kumari Seven pod, breathing mask and heat suit protecting him from the varied atmosphere as he looked at some more ice cubes with tails. Apparently tiny mammalians was more of a norm in this section of the galaxy than he would have expected. His own world did not have such things.
He looked up with interest at this pronouncement. “Well, then, please provide the data.”
“The Uglatan female’s anatomical similarities to your own are seventy-eight percent, and there do not appear to be any diseases which might affect your well-being present within her systems. In fact, it would seem that your ability to create offspring is extremely probable.”
“Why do you say that?” Krai wanted to know.
“The female appears to be gestating, with approximate time of implantation about twelve hours ago,” Nibido supplied. “Further study of the embryo itself will be needed to ascertain if it will remain viable.”
Krai was so stunned he dropped the tiny, cryogenically sustained creature he was holding back into its tank. It made a dull, thudding sound, and he guiltily straightened it out and placed it properly again.
“You’re sure about this?” he checked, cringing even as the words were spoken. “Of course you’re sure. You were built for this sort of testing process. Wow. This is just great. First we inadvertently harvest her from her planet, then I ride her like some rabid faldoss who hasn’t drank in weeks, and then I initiate a hybrid, alien lovechild in her without so much as a ‘will you bear my young?’ By the stars, she’s going to hate me for this!”
“Her continued ignorance of your ability to communicate could be extended,” Nibido suggested.
“What, you mean don’t tell her?” Krai gasped. “I would never do that to somebody on my own world, so why would I do it to her? She is sentient, Nibido. Capable of understanding what has happened to her. I’m the one who is responsible for her being here. If I hadn’t injured my head, we could have put her back right away, but as it is that’s not possible, especially now that I have created a child inside her into the bargain. We have violated her rights so far by now that had she been from an allied world the government would be calling for an immediate reprimand.”
“If that is your feeling, then the choice is clear,” said Nibido. “You must reveal the computer’s newest skill, and then make use of it.”
Sighing deeply, Krai had to agree.
Stepping out of the pod, he set the face mask and protective suit back on their lifters, and the floating device took them back inside the storage receptacle. Then he bit at his bottom lip as he turned and located Jazz where she was sitting across the room, still playing with the video consul, where she was looking at a display of pictures taken as he grew up. She was chuckling over one of them when he stepped behind her and set his hands onto her shoulders.
“Computer? Translate my words to hers and hers to mine, please.”
