Barbarian Lover (Ice Planet Barbarians #3)(37)

Author:Ruby Dixon

“Bathe!” I hate that the language that the sa-khui learned is three hundred years old. A lot of our language has changed since then. “Washing!”

His eyes gleam and he looks me up and down. Aehako’s gaze is scorching. “I have soap-berries in my bag. I shall be more than happy to help you wash.”

The blush on my cheeks feels like an inferno. “I’m naked.”

“I noticed.” The look he gives me is appreciative. “And your parts are as fine as I imagined.”

I know I should tell him no, to go away. But then it hits me…why should I? What is the point in being modest? Who is there to judge or shame me? I want him to come shower with me. I want his big, blue body rubbing up against mine. I like it when he takes care of me. It makes me feel loved and cherished, and those are two emotions I am utterly hungry for. But…I don’t know how to invite a man into a sexy situation. It’s not in me to flirt back. So I just give him a mute, helpless look.

As if he senses my agony, he hesitates. “Do you wish me to leave, Kira?”

I stare at him for a long moment. At the big, seven-foot tall alien male wearing only a loincloth that doesn’t do much for modesty. He’s got horns and ridges and should be frightening. And instead, I’m terribly attracted to him. So I steel my courage and shake my head. I don’t want him to leave. “G-get the soap.”

He flashes me one of those quick, pleased Aehako-grins and heads out of the alien bathroom, leaving me only moments to try and make myself, well, pretty. I smooth a hand over my wet hair and glance down at my legs and arms and my pale body. I’m not at my hottest. I…guess it doesn’t matter. He doesn’t have other humans to compare me to except the ones I came here with. When he comes back with his small pouch of berries, I’m nervous but…so excited. My nipples are already pointing and hard, and I flash him a quick, shy smile, hoping that he finds me pretty. Which is weird to think about considering he’s blue and horned, but I still want him to be attracted to me because of me, not just because I have a vagina.

Aehako sets the bag down on a nearby counter and scoops a few of the berries out. I push back the glass door of the shower at the exact same moment that he whips off his loincloth.

And…okay. So that looks a lot bigger than I’d initially ‘felt’。 It’s one thing to see pictures of naked men and statues and the like, and it’s another to have a fully aroused guy standing right in front of you. With a spur. Can’t forget the spur. And here I’d thought his big carved ‘present’ of his cock was…well, an exaggeration.

Doesn’t seem like it.

His cock looks as long as my arm, though surely it can’t be. It’s also flushed a darker blue than the rest of his skin. I can’t help but stare at it as he enters the shower with me.

And then I have to squeeze against the back wall, because Aehako’s big body is enormous and the shower clearly wasn’t built for two. A nervous giggle escapes me. “Should I get out?”

“I can fit,” he says, stooping a bit lower to get his big horns into the shower. “It just means we’ll have to stand a little closer together.” And he gives me another flirty look that makes me giggle.

“You’re hogging all the hot water.” It cascades off of his body and his horns but doesn’t seem to hit me at all. He’d make a great umbrella, not such a great shower partner.

“Hogging?”

“Taking,” I correct, then think about it. “I should probably get the language dump while we’re here. I want to know your speech.”

“It can wait another day,” he tells me, and smashes the berries in his fist. “Shall I rub this on you?”

A shiver moves through me, and my skin prickles with awareness of him. Even hunched over, Aehako’s size is intimidating…but I know he can be oh-so gentle. And if I move in any closer, his penis is going to be rubbing up against me.

It’s a bit like sensory overload. I want to explore him, and I want him to explore me…but I mostly just want to kiss him.

“Aehako,” I breathe, and reach up to wrap my arms around his neck. Water immediately dumps in my face. I sputter, and then wipe my face clean. “Will you kiss me?”

“You need never ask, Sad Eyes. All you need is to turn your face toward me.” His big arm goes around me and pulls me against him, and I’m startled at the contact of our wet skin. It feels decadent and strange and I want to run my hands all over him and explore him.
