To my surprise, he approaches, buck naked. I gasp and back up against the cave wall. “Don’t touch me! Don’t—“
He grabs my hand and bends down, sniffing it. Then, with his gaze on me, he licks my palm and my fingers.
“Oh my God,” I moan. “You are straight up nasty kinky, aren’t you?” I try to pull my hand away, but it’s locked tight in his grip and he tongues every inch of my palm and fingers. All the while, his enormous alien dick is inches away from my face, and it’s hard all over again. He is so not getting round two. I squirm out of his grip, hating that his tongue on my flesh makes the cootie start up again. He eventually releases me and I jerk away from him. “Pervert!” This is a man who undressed me while I was unconscious and isn’t shy about making claims on my body. It’s freaking me out…and it’s freaking me out that I’m also getting aroused by it.
Still blaming the cootie.
I push at his stomach, trying to get him to take a few steps back. “Go away. Ever heard of personal space?”
He stares at me, and his dick is seriously right at eye level. It gives me a good look at the ‘extras’ in his anatomy. I mean, he’s an alien so I don’t expect him to be like the guys at the clubs back at home, but I’m a little pissy that Georgie never mentioned anything like this when she mentioned these guys were looking for wives. He’s got a fricking horn of some kind above his dick. It’s not pointed like the horns on his head, but it looks almost like another thumb sticking out above his junk, and I have no idea what the hell that’s for. Worse than that, his dick – not that I’m scrutinizing, mind you – has the same ridges along the top of it that his arms and chest have.
It’s so weird.
I am so not turned on by it.
Not at all. Nope.
The cootie in my chest thrums, and I smack it to silence it. Fucking cootie. I grab at the furs under Raahosh’s feet. “Can I have these please?” To my relief, he steps aside and I grab the blankets and tuck them close around my body, grumbling as I close my eyes and try to go back to sleep. The cootie in my breast just keeps purring away like an asshole, and I’m cranky and not at all feeling an afterglow.
It’s like the masturbating made things worse rather than better. Which…really sucks.
I’m still utterly exhausted, though. My body’s telling me it needs more sleep. Well, actually, it’s telling me it needs sex and then sleep. But I can give it sleep. I close my eyes and try to ignore Raahosh moving around at the far end of the cave. I don’t think he’ll try anything; if he wanted to, he could have already. So even though I’m alone in a cave with a crazy alien and we just mutually had an angry masturbation fest, I drift off to sleep.

When I wake up in the morning, I’m not entirely surprised to feel a big warm body pressing up against mine. Raahosh isn’t exactly Mr. Boundaries, but if all he’s doing is sleeping, I can live with that. I yawn and sit up, scooting away from him.
His big arm automatically goes around my waist. He grunts and pulls me back against him, then nestles further down in the blankets.
Typical man. I pry his arm off of me. “Some of us have to pee.” I slide out of his grip and wobble to my feet. My legs feel shaky, but I feel strong. I wiggle my toes, and they’re dandy, too. Huh. Maybe the cootie isn’t the world’s worst. Then again, it has terrible taste in men.
The floor of the cave has been swept clean, and the fire has low, warm coals on it, which tells me that Raahosh hasn’t been sleeping for long. I yawn and look around for shoes, but the only thing I see are his boots. I shrug and stick my feet in them, then clomp out into the snow to do my business.
I don’t go far, because I’m not stupid. This place is alien and completely foreign and could be full of all kinds of dangerous things. I don’t stray far from the mouth of the cave, and I’m not surprised when I turn around to see Raahosh there, a sleepy look on his face, spear in his hands, ready to protect me.
Or, you know, hunt me down.
“I’m not going anywhere,” I tell him. “Not unless there’s a Starbucks around the corner.” He gestures at the cave mouth and I roll my eyes, heading back inside. “Seriously, where do you think I’m going to go? I have no idea where I am and no clue what direction everyone else is in. Do you think I’m just going to pick a direction and decide to wing it? After all I’ve been through?”
When he just stares, I sigh. “Never mind. I’m clearly talking to a brick wall here. Thanks for kidnapping me, by the way. Props for making a shitty situation even worse. I sincerely appreciate that.”
