Chapter Seventeen

Torven watched as Trista’s cheeks flamed red, and he knew it wasn’t just because of the heat. He’d heard that humans were more self-conscious about being naked than Drexians, but he thought after the moment they’d shared in the cave and the fact that she’d seen him almost naked before, she wouldn’t be so modest.

It was true he hadn’t seen her unclothed, but even the thought of seeing her naked curves made his cock twitch. He splashed some of the warm water up onto his bare chest and watched the last traces of blood dissolve. She’d been right about the water. It seemed to revive him, and his muscles relaxed from the heat.

Trista took off her boots and rolled up the legs of her environmental suit. “I’ll just get my feet wet first.”

Torven lowered himself into the steaming water again, and the knots in his shoulders unwound. The water may have smelled funny, but there was no doubt it was helping him recover.

Sitting on the edge of the pool, Trista dangled her legs into the water. She watched Torven, but he could tell she was doing her best to avoid looking beneath the water’s surface.

Glowing blue flecks, like the ones in the rock walls, illuminated the pool from within. The water was so clear that even in the eerie blue light, it would’ve been hard not to notice Torven’s huge erection. He tried to ignore it himself, as he ducked his head under the water and let the heat envelop him.

He knew he shouldn’t be thinking about claiming her until he could prove his innocence. It had been a promise he’d made to himself, but one that was becoming harder and harder to keep. He hadn’t anticipated how much he would want her, or how impossible it was to be near her without wanting to touch her.

At least she was making it easier for him, staying out of the water and keeping the oversized suit on. He focused on the floppy fabric bunched around her knees, and hoped that would make his cock stop throbbing.

“Screw this,” Trista muttered under her breath. She stood and started to strip.

So much for getting rid of his arousal, Torven thought. He didn’t know if it was more polite to avert his eyes, but he couldn’t pull his gaze from her.

Wiggling her hips as she slipped the suit off and stepped out of it, Trista didn’t glance at him as she shimmied out of the clothes beneath the suit. When she stood in nothing but small, black panties and a matching bra, she hesitated. “Turn around,” she said.

He started to laugh, but saw she was serious. “You do not wish me to see you?”

“I know we’re supposed to be matched and all, but I still just met you, and I’m not used to stripping for guys I barely know.”

He wondered if this had to do with her ridiculous idea of not being attractive enough. She’d let it slip in the cave, but he’d hoped his enthusiasm over her small, soft body had convinced her that was not the case.
