“I guess being looked at so
closely is kind of uncomfortable. I deserved that. Go ahead, inspect me if it
will put us on even footing again.”
Jeannie must have gotten the gist
of his tone and gesticulations, because she walked around him, looking him
over. Kren wondered what she thought of his physique. She had no sensual
interest in him, but was he different enough to be ugly to her? Maybe she didn’t
find him exotic at all. Maybe he was repulsive.
Being so closely regarded made
Kren self-conscious. No wonder Jeannie had been angry at him for staring. It
was damned uncomfortable. She went behind him, still inspecting his body.
To cover his growing unease, Kren
started talking again. “So how do I find out if you’re sentient and not just a
clever creation performing tricks you were taught? Then how do we convince the
elders? I mean—”
He broke off with a yell and
sprang away when Jeannie’s hands closed over the twin globes of his ass and
pushed them apart. Kren whirled to confront her, spluttering. She stood there
regarding him with a calm but pointed expression.
Kren gave her the same insulted
look she’d offered him. Jeannie smiled.
He ordered the shower off and started past her to the stall door.
“Okay, I get it already.”
As he stalked by, Jeannie patted
his ass. Kren decided enough was enough.
The flesh at the base of his spine
elongated into a long, striped tail. He wrapped the end around the offending
hand, arresting it in mid-pat and holding it away from his body. Kren smirked
as her mouth dropped open in shock, her eyes wide as she stared at the
appendage holding her captive.
He barked a laugh. “You weren’t
expecting that, were you? You keep your parts to yourself and I’ll keep my
parts to myself. That’s our deal from now on.”
As much as he hated to make such a
deal. He wanted to touch a hell of a lot more than he already had.
No release date set
Can't wait
