Laura

Laura awakened with a start. Memory flooded back and she remembered the passionate lovemaking with Varma earlier. Her lips spread in a smile.

She peered across her still darkened chambers. The moon shone in silvery and bright through the window. It seemed low in the sky. Could it be that it was only early evening?

Laura recalled that it had been late afternoon when Varma began to recite his poetry. She moved carefully, extending her arm out until she could grasp her com pad.

The device told her it was only the sixteenth hour. The night was relatively young. She dropped the com pad to the floor while trying to replace it on the nightstand. Varma’s breathing changed, and she knew he was awake.

“Sorry.”

“Don’t be.”

She laughed as he pulled her into his embrace once again. It felt good to be snuggled up against him, but at the same time, her belly demanded to be filled with something.

“Hey,” she said softly, basking in the glow of his embrace. “It’s not that late. We can still go on the actual date. Or at least get some chow. I’m starving.”

“Then I will see to it you are fed.” He kissed the back of her neck, sending a tingle down her spine, then rolled off her and stood up from the bed. She rolled over and watched him as he dressed. A smile came to her lips when she realized he no longer moved as stiffly as he had before.

Sex did wonders for tension.

Laura slipped her own garments on, feeling a teensy bit sore but in the best possible ways. Her mind drifted back to when he’d lifted her off the bed entirely. That had been something new.

An image flashed into her mind, a primal bolt of lightning crackling through her thoughts. Herself, clinging to Varma while he flew, not a strip of clothing between them…

Her face purpled at the thought. She was afraid to even admit she had it. Laura pasted an anxious smile on her face when Varma came around to her side of the bed.

“Are you looking for this?”

He held out her shoe, dangling it by a strap. She took it from him and slid the heeled shoe onto her foot.

“Thank you.”

He offered her a hand up, and she took it. Even when she wore heels, he towered over her. Laura took a moment to appreciate the majesty of his massive, scaled body before following him to the door.

They held hands on the way to the hangar. She wasn’t sure which of them had the idea first. Maybe they’d had it at the same time. During the lovemaking, she’d felt at times as if she could sense what Varma was feeling, even thinking.

Their excitement proved an almost tangible thing, yet a veneer of relaxed calm had fallen over them as well. It was a mood only described as post-coital. Intimacy and relaxed energy mingled with her excitement at being out with Varma once again.

I’ve never felt this close to a guy before. Ever, even guys I’d dated for a lot longer.
