Eyoen thought, feasting his eyes for the first time on Cass’ nude, ripe curves, live. His Owe crystal could not show the exact shine of her skin, or telegraph the warmth and softness of her breasts overflowing his hands. In his right body they would fit perfectly. Her waist was tiny and flared out into womanly hips and a pair of tight luscious thighs he couldn’t wait to get between.
His nostrils flared as he filled his s enses with her scent. Today, as most days, she’d forgotten her Chloe perfume. As he dragged his nose up the side of her neck all he got was the clean rich smell of Cass, and he filled his lungs as he sucked gently on her ear lobe.
“Take off my pants,” he said quietly.
Cass’ arms fell from around his neck as she stepped back to obey him. She stared at him for a moment, her head tilted to one side, a slight grin playing around the corners of her mouth.
“Don’t want to obey?” he asked softly. “We’re feeling rebellious today.”
The grin spread into a full-fledged smile.
Lee ha d never played a game like this with her before, and he could hear in her heart’s increased beat that she approved. Her breath was rapid and shallow as she waited to see what he would do next.
S lowly he pushed his pants down; they cleared his hips and dropped to the floor. She licked her lips as he palmed his erection and stroked it slowly, his free hand rubbing absently at a bruised but still visible six pack.
He sighed audibly and appeared sad as he stepped out of his pants and turned away.
“Wait,” she breathed.
He turned back, and pretended to yawn, his hands leaving his body to stretch above his head. His cock stood straight out from his body and held her eyes riveted. He wanted to laugh in glee, but maintained a straight face. Who knew such obvious manipulation would have such a delicious effect? He had no doubt Cass knew what he was doing. Nor did he doubt how much she liked it.
“I’m tired,” he said, falling back ward on the bed in a seductive sprawl.
Lee had been a simple man, primitive even. He had never tried to seduce her so deliberately, to play with her mind or to dominate her with a gentle hand. He had stumbled upon a few things that turned her on though, and those memories were going to come in very handy.
Eyoen closed his eyes, listening as she moved closer. He covered his smile with an arm over his face and was rewarded when he felt her tug the socks from his feet. He tamped down the delighted laughter that wanted to escape and kept his eyes closed as the bed dipped under her weight, and she worked his t-shirt over his head.
He let her crawl over his body before he op ened his eyes and stared into hers. She’d removed the rest of her clothes, the eager little thing. She was lush, his Cass. A perfect specimen of feminine beauty to rival any to be found on his star, and that was saying something; Eyoen did not come from an ugly race. And as a prince of his people he was accustomed to seeing the very best in all things, especially women.
He thought of his houris and realized in that moment that he would give up dozens of incomparably beautiful women in a heartbeat if it would assure him of Cass’ love. But it was a fleeting thought. Eyoen did not lack confidence. He would win his lady, despite the disadvantage his human body presented.
“It actually won’t be a disadvantage, sire,” Rierdane said. “Cass has already noticed the differences between you and your host. And you heard her yourself when she said she’d planned to break up with him. I’m fairly certain that time has passed. In fact, I would say with confidence that she is falling for “you” all over again in a new way. You will know for sure that she loves you for you, not for your wealth or position. I suppose the body does present some difficulty, but –”
Not now, Rierdane, he told his servant, lips capturing Cass’ to suck her tongue into his mouth. He stretched beneath her warmth, loving the slight
