Best Friends (New Species #15)(27)

Snow gently withdrew. “I have to take care of this condom. We had classes on that. I’ll be right back.”

She released him with regret. He extracted himself from between her thighs and rolled away, getting off the bed. He walked to the bathroom and flipped on the light. She could see more scars on his back, some on his muscular butt, and a few more on the backs of his thighs.

He closed the door between them.

Mel blinked back tears and sat up. “Way to blow it, numbskull,” she whispered to herself.





Chapter Seven



Snow removed the condom, threw it in the trash, and began to wash his hands. He stared at his reflection in the mirror above the counter. He wanted to kick his own ass. The classes he’d taken had taught him that he needed to prepare a human female for what happened with canines. Touching Mel had made him forget all that.

Sharing sex with her had been fantastic. He’d come so hard it had left him mentally stunned. It hadn’t helped that she’d been so tight. He’d battled not to lose his seed before he brought her to release first. The second her muscles had clamped down around his shaft, milking him, he’d totally lost it. Then the swelling had begun.

He’d seen the confusion and alarm on her face. So much for trying to downplay how different he was from human males. His body had betrayed him.

A light tapping on the bathroom door startled him, and he realized he was still standing at the sink, letting the faucet run. He turned the water off and reached for a towel to dry his hands. He opened the door and there stood Mel, peering up at him with worry on her delicate features. It showed in her eyes, too.

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to make you feel bad. I was just surprised.”

“I should have warned you, Mel.”

She put her hands on him. He loved her light touches as she caressed his chest. Mel smiled. “That was the best sex ever. So what if you locked us together? It’s not a big deal. I know what to expect next time. You didn’t hurt me, and bonus, I know you got off. Sometimes it’s hard to tell with guys.”

Her words confused him.

“Sometimes not, if they sound like a pig that’s got his snout stuck in a fence.” A blush flared in her cheeks. “Forget I said that last part. I’m so not cool. You could have done way better than picking me.”

He reached for her and pulled her closer, enjoying holding her. “No, Mel. You are the best.”

She smiled. “Really? Even though my mouth blew it? I shouldn’t talk sometimes.”

“I want to hear everything you have to say.”

“Are we okay?” Worry showed in her eyes again.

“We are.” He lowered his head and brushed his mouth against her inviting lips. Then he straightened. “We should put something on. Our food will be delivered soon.”

“Okay.” She didn’t move away from him, though. “Snow?”

“Yes?”

“I accept you just the way you are. I want you to know that.”

The last bit of tension left his body. “Thank you.”

“Everyone needs to be accepted for who they are. It should be a given.” She slid her hands over his shoulders and neck, cupping his face. “I am sorry for the dog comment. That must have hurt your feelings, but I didn’t mean to.”

“You didn’t. I promise, Mel.”

She smiled again. “I want to do what happened on your bed again. A lot. You’re super great at sex. Cable definitely hasn’t ruined you.”

He burst into a laugh and tightened his hold around her waist.

Her expression grew curious. “Is that why you pinned me down so tight after you got me off? Were you thinking I’d flip out?”

“I’ve been warned by friends who have shared sex with females of your kind. They said that a few of those females panicked when they began to swell. It caused them both pain when the women tried to get away. I didn’t want to risk you getting hurt.”

“I promise to hold still afterward.” Her smile returned. “I had no wish to move. It was that wonderful.” She released his face and tapped her temple. “Mind blown. Total wow.”

He chuckled. Mel amused him.

“You should come with a warning about your mouth, too.”

He arched his eyebrows, wondering what she meant.

“You have mad oral sex skills.”

He laughed louder that time. She made him feel happy. “You taste delicious.”

A blush stained her cheeks. “I’ll take your word for it. I plan to return the favor.”

He shook his head. “You can’t. Females don’t give male Species oral sex.”

That seemed to shock her.

“I wore a condom to contain my seed. Others have told me what happened when they allowed a female to go down on them. It’s not something I will let you do.”

“Did your friends get bitten or something? You’re pretty big down there. I can see teeth being a problem. Or was it a fitting issue? If so, don’t worry. I’ve been told lots of time that I have a big mouth.” She grinned.

He had to stifle a laugh. “No. It’s that we ejaculate seed very hard…and a lot of it. Females often choke, and it can cause them harm.”

Her eyes widened.
