Chapter 5
Klynn
Part of me wanted to understand more about how my human could relate to the magic around us, but plans changed when his lips came down to meet my neck again.
He liked that part of me.
“What do your limits say about cuddling with me on the couch?” Kissing along my neck, he chuckled when I made a low sound of need. “I think that’s a yes, but let me hear the words.”
Yes.
Words.
Verbal words were important at this stage of our relationship.
“That…that would be within my limits.” He was teasing me, but it made him happy, so I let him. “Touching more would…would be within my limits too.”
My human made a low, pleased sound that was almost a growl and his teeth nibbled on my neck. “Touching you is well within my limits too.”
That was wonderful.
My human was touching me.
“I…I did not understand how good this would feel.” My confession got another soft sound from my human and he rocked forward to rub his erection against my body. “This is…”
I’d thought just being his friend would be enough but this showed just how wrong I had been.
“This is amazing.” Using his teeth on my ear, he made a quiet groaning noise as I whined and pushed back against him. “You’re so sexy, baby. Let me hear you again.”
Me.
I was sexy.
My movements and the sounds I gave him.
Me.
“I…I like your tight hold. The way. It.” I had reached the point where I wanted our bond so he would understand what I needed.
I wanted to grumble and stomp my feet like some of the submissives in my books, but I wasn’t sure how to show that to my…my mate.
“You’re frustrated. I can feel it.” He did not indicate if it was through our bond or it was simply a human way of expressing his feelings, but he was not angry with me. “What are you thinking, baby?”
“That I do not like having to use words and I would like to show my frustration.” My slightly irrational response got a chuckle from him but it was quickly followed by a human sound that indicated understanding. “They are…difficult.”
“You’re not used to talking about how you feel. That’s got to be a hard change for you, but I’m very glad you’re trying for me.”
He understood.
Yes.
Nodding to give him a visual indicator of my agreement, I sighed because that was a good response too. “Just for you.”
That pleased him and his arms tightened around me again, pinning me against his body. “How about if I reward you for being such a good boy for me.”
Many Dominant individuals in books used the phrase without it indicating a desire for a Daddy- based relationship and I couldn’t help wondering how my human saw the words. “I…I like rewards.”
They could come in many forms and I had enjoyed reading about a variety of them.
“Then let’s play a game, baby.” My human kept his hold on me, but began walking us slowly back toward what he called a couch. “Every time you tell me something you’re thinking or feeling, you’ll get a reward.”
Oh.
Bribes.
Humans loved negotiations and I could feel his excitement even though we both knew it would go in my favor.
“What…what kind of rewards?” Yes. That was the first step in negotiations with humans. Fine print was very important.
“You can ask me a question or show me a place you want me to touch.” Somehow we reached the couch and he sat down, bringing me with him so I was sitting on his lap. “Or if you just whimper for me sweetly, I’ll keep touching you all over as your reward.”
Without more talking?
I liked that idea.
“Yes.” I gave him words…he would give me touches. “That one.”
He laughed again, but he made it sound wicked. I had not understood how much information could be contained in a simple sound, but my books had been right. “Then that’s what we’ll do, baby, but you’re going to remember we can use safewords.”
“I…I have read extensively about the stoplight colors. I will remember those.” We did not have the same objects here, but I did not want to make both of us remember random words. “You are…you are supposed to use them as well.”
The books made it clear that just because I wanted something didn’t mean he had to give it to me. I had to take care of him as well. Part of me was greedy and stubborn, but the naughty part could not win all the time.
Just sometimes.
“I promise to use them too, but right now, I can’t think of anything you would ask me for that I would deny you.” Shifting me on his lap so I was partially stretched out down the couch, he snuggled me closer and tucked my face against his neck.
I was starting to understand why submissive humans used that position a lot in books.
I liked hiding too.
“I’ll also answer questions or you can touch me if you’d like.” He made a happy laugh when I was silly and patted his chest. “See? You did it.”
He was just as ridiculous as the Daddies in my books.
Maybe that was a good sign?
It seemed like it, so as he rubbed my back and made more happy sounds, I worked on a sentence that would get me the information I wanted with the lowest worry possible. “What forms of domination have you explored?”
Yes, that would give me details on his background so I would know what he was familiar with.
He went still.
Hmm.
I knew why I had gone still, but why had he done it?
Thankfully my human mate loved talking and did not leave me confused for long. “I don’t mind talking about anything in my past, but will it upset you to hear about things I’ve done…in the past?”
His cautious reaction made more sense as he gave me his thoughts.
He was worried about the human emotion of jealousy.
He also did not seem to understand what wording he could use without causing me distress.
“I have read books about human couples and mixed alien pairs discussing their pasts.” It had been enlightening…
confusing at first…but highly educational.
“We generally do not have the same kind of non-mated relationships, but I understand that most people of Earth do not have the same way of knowing their partner.”
Letting out a quiet breath, he nodded slowly. “Just a bit longer.”
He was ready to discuss mate things but not being mates.
Humans were very strange.
“I have not had my date yet.” I gave him a human shrug that made him chuckle. “I am not in a hurry.”
He was mine whether we discussed it or not.
“Okay, my past.” He gave me a Daddy head kiss and resumed rubbing my back and along my arms as he was supposed to.
“I’ve been what you might’ve seen in books as just a generic Dom in several relationships.
I’ve never done casual sex as you’ve probably heard about in books and in our entertainment media, but I’ve explored different scenes in places like BDSM clubs. ”
My human paused, nuzzling against me as he recited his past. “Do you have any questions about any of the words I used?”
“No.” Education was very important when it came to having a human mate and I was glad to see that my time on his planet had been well spent. “I have read about those places and I understand the way humans see a difference between what you call casual sex and scenes.”
They all fell under mate topics, but humans like to classify things in a variety of ways. “I have not done either but that is not a surprise to you.”
His soft laughter said I was right.
“I didn’t think you’ve been around many clubs.” His hand rubbed lower until it was over the area I had decided would be called my bottom. “But I like that you haven’t done either.”
Bottom was a much better word than the alternatives.
“Do you know what the term caveman refers to in this situation?”
Ha.
“You are feeling possessive of me and that is supposed to give the feeling of being un…unevolved? Dis-evolved? I do not think I have read a single good English word for that idea.” Humans combined words in unexpected ways.
Had Toman ever used a word like that?
“You did good at getting your thoughts across. I understood what you meant.” Kissing my head, he made what I thought was a proud sound. “You are amazing in the way you’ve learned English and so many different aspects of American culture.”
Pride.
Yes.
“Reading is very educational.” Lorne had explained that to me but I had not understood how accurate the strange dragon had been. “I have come to understand many unique things about your people.”
Not all would apply to us, but I had a broad range of knowledge.
“I know it’s probably selfish of me in some way, but I’m incredibly glad you understand so much.
It would’ve been stressful to constantly worry about how to explain things that sound…
weird.” My human chuckled, but he seemed to need reassurance, so I kissed his cheek before snuggling back against him. “Thank you, baby.”
“You are welcome.” I had good human manners. “Your past is different than mine but that is not a topic I will get upset about.”
Something earned me another head kiss, but he made a thoughtful sound as he went back to rubbing my bottom and the top of my legs. “What kind of limits do you have with talking about my past?”
That was a more difficult question.
“I do not need to hear about…mate things with specific individuals, but you may educate me on anything you have learned.” I had also read several books where one partner was very grateful his partner knew what he was doing with mate topics like making love.
I had decided to approach it with that thought in mind.
I was grateful he would know what he should do.
My books showed me that I found confidence sexually arousing and that required one person to understand how pleasure worked in a practical sense. I would not be that person for a variety of reasons and had no desire to attempt to explain my newfound needs more than absolutely necessary.
“I think that’s a very good way of handling the situation, but I also want to point out that you can tell me about anything you’ve read that you think was interesting or that you have questions on or that you just want to discuss.
” Patting my bottom, he chuckled when I shivered and wiggled on his lap.
“Like questions on spanking this sexy…hmm…what was your favorite English word for this beautiful part of your body?”
Ha, Wren would call my mate an ass man.
“Bottom. My favorite word is bottom, although, none are bad.” There were some words that were simply better than others. “It is the best word for it.”
“I like that word too.” He liked it so much he squeezed the part in question. “What else did you decide you liked when you were reading and doing research?”
“There are many curious things…but…but I understand why many of the local dragons on the other side of the gate have decided that the one called age play is the best.” What did my human think of that one, though?
My reward for continuing to give him the words he wanted was a firm pat to my bottom that hinted at the spankings I’d read about.
That was interesting.
What had he said to do?
Ah.
I made the whimpering sound and wiggled against him again like he’d said. I knew I’d done it right based on his moan, but I could not resist hiding tighter against him, feeling something between nervous and embarrassed.
I wasn’t sure there was a word in my language that felt right, but I had come to learn there were many emotions and desires that we did not have words for.
We continually searched for our mates that were the other half of our souls but I was starting to understand we hadn’t been thinking big enough.
We needed the other half of our world.
