CHAPTER 15

She finally stopped shaking, a blanket draped around her shoulders and a water bottle in her grip, Rhulle drew light patterns on her back over the hour.

“Did I overreact? Did he deserve any of that?” Avie asked.

“I do not know him as you do, but it may be something that needed to happen. He tried to change you. He tried to use you. He had tried to claim you. A friend does not do that.”

She nodded, craning her neck to look back at him, “What do you think will happen now? What will he do?”

“He can try to gather humans to search for me, I have been here a very long time with no luck on their part. He may try to come after me alone, however.”

“You won’t hurt him, if he does?” He was silent. “I don’t want him to die, please promise me that you won’t.”

“… I promise, Avie, he will not die by my hand if it ever came to that.”

“Thank you…” She rested her head on his chest, “Rhulle, how long have you been on this planet?”

“I do not know years in specific, I have lost track. But it has been numerous, at least.”

“How old are you?”

“Truxi live for a few hundred years by your cycles of the sun. To us, it feels a normal life span. If humans live to be 100 years old on average, I suppose I would reach around the 30 years mark, simply speaking, of course.”

“We still do not know what goes on in the bodies of them, let alone yours. Are you certain you are okay to keep going?”

She nodded strongly, “It just keeps getting worse. This will help, I know it will.”

“You are very brave, dear Avie.” He brushed hair out of her face, taking in her features. The look was gentle, eyes drinking in her being. She glanced over him in turn, lingering over his lips… Lips that she kissed moments ago…

The redhead changed the topic, “Maybe we should talk about something else. It’s tough to think about.”

He hummed, “We could talk about what happened earlier between the two of us? I rather enjoyed that.”

Was it just her, or did his tone sound flirty? She blushed brightly, not really expecting him to bring the kiss up. “O-oh? I wasn’t really sure if what I did was appropriate, do you do anything similar?”

“We show affection in this way,” he cupped her face, kissing her chaste on the lips and rubbing her jaw line with both thumbs, “it is for vovii. But what you had done… I have never experienced that before.”

Her body flushed with heat, thinking about how her tongue danced in his mouth, she still had her face so close to his, lust filing her gaze, “.
