Odd Coupling by Jaylee Davis Page B

the tender skin, but didn’t wake. He
purred, softly at first, and then gradually increased his tone to a
full out growl.
    Bethany jerked awake and struggled.
Vren chuckled at her feeble attempt to free herself. Fully alert,
she stopped and turned her head to glare at him. He lost his humor
and winced. Her expression was less than happy.
    “ Stop growling at
me!”
    “ You didn’t mind a few
moments ago.”
    “ That was a different
growl. This one startled me.”
    “ I had to wake you to ask
if you wanted to sleep with me.”
    “ Really?” She huffed and
rolled her eyes. “No wonder you crashed,” she muttered.
    He made a mental note to not wake his
female so forcefully and immediately choked back a snarl. His
female? Impossible! He stood, then carried her into the bedroom.
Along the way the tip of his tail flicked back and forth, a sure
sign of agitation.

Chapter Six
     
    Bethany couldn’t believe how
incredible the sex was with Vren. He’d made her come so hard she’d
almost passed out. She’d never felt anything so intense before, and
unlike the few men she’d been with, he smelled wonderful, and his
kisses were delicious. His body was so large he could practically
wrap around her twice. Afterward, he’d held her. She’d felt
protected and special within his embrace. She had only one
complaint. She’d never gotten a good look at his penis, but it felt
huge.
    She couldn’t resist running her
fingers through his hair, smoothing the silky strands to lessen his
wild look. He was a giant compared to her, handsome and strong. She
wanted to fall asleep again, wrapped in his arms, safe for at least
one night before reality intruded on her dream. He smiled, then
shook his head, fluffing out his mane right after she’d tamed it.
She had a suspicion that under different circumstances, he could be
as playful as a kitten.
    He gently placed her onto the bed,
then lay beside her. He circled his arms around to pull her close
until they were chest to chest. Bethany snuggled even closer and
pressed her lips to his neck.
    “ I really enjoyed coupling
with you. Thank you,” she whispered, wanting to make sure he
knew.
    His chest vibrated with a deep laugh.
“I should thank you, little female. You surprise me.”
    She lifted just enough to be able to
see his face. His eyes glinted in the dim light filtering into her
room. They’d forgotten to turn off one of the living room lights.
It wasn’t a concern right now, because Bethany loved to look at
him. She didn’t see an alien anymore. To her, he was just Vren, a
man not of her world, and for tonight, she’d pretend he was her
lover.
    “ Well, instead of thanking
me, why don’t you tell me more about yourself?”
    “ What would you like to
know?” He propped his head up, waiting for an answer.
    “ We had sex, but you didn’t
show me your…penis. Could I see it?”
    “ Now? While we’re in bed?”
His cat-like eyes widened in surprise.
    Once again, she’d shocked him, but
Bethany wasn’t about to let him off the hook.
    “ Yes, now. You’re not
aroused like before so you should be able to show it to
me.”
    “ You’re naked and pressed
close to me. I am aroused.” His expression grew troubled, as if the
revelation was alien to him.
    She couldn’t suppress a smile. “Then
you’re always horny?”
    He cocked his head, looking uncertain.
“What is horny?”
    You. Bethany sighed in exasperation. Dragging information out of
Vren was a lot like trying to pull teeth out of a
chicken.
    “ Please show me your
penis.” God, she felt ridiculous at making such an outlandish
request, but she was on a mission. “I think you should. It was
inside my body a few minutes ago. Don’t you believe I have a right
to ask?”
    He huffed. “When you put it
like that, I agree.” Although his mannerism clearly said otherwise,
he rolled to his back and tucked a pillow under his head so he
could see down his torso. Using one hand, he slid the triangle
section of his tapa to
