Finally I heard the door open and my wife walked in. She had a big smile on her face as she asked me how my day was. "Uneventful, How was yours?" leav...ing the ball in her court. "Same old same old" she said with a slight grin. I was out of my league, she is way better at this than I am. We sat down at the table and started our dinner. She looked across at me and commented about how turned on I was last night, trying to gage where I stood. "I wasn't the only one" was my reply. Her next question. Notch another species into my headboard … if I had a headboard.Thunner was standing in front of me. He said, “Alexa, thank you. Two of the others have never mated before. They will remember this.”“And what about you, Thunner?”“I had a mate.”“Had? What happened? Can I ask?”“It is relevant for you to know. My mate was taken by the new people. She was put into a cage. I saw it and attempted to free her. I was nearly killed and left for dead. I was only stunned, though, and my wounds were. ??Does it hurt???A bit.?I tightened my hold. She gasped, and tried to hold back a scream.?Does that hurt more???Yes, it does!?I squeezed even harder. She threw her head back against the wall, and bit her lip to stifle the scream that welled up within her. Her breathing was short and rapid. She was sweating profusely.?Does it hurt even more now???Oh?Ouch!!...Yes!! It hurts a lot.??But I feel you can take more. Let’s see now??I squeezed the handles some more, and pulled the pliers upwards. I only went to that sorority party because Meadow told me you were going to be there.”I was surprised at his admission then nervously stood on my toes and kissed him softly. When I went to pull back he put his hand in my hair and held me close. He looked into my eyes then kissed me more passionately. His tongue found mine in a sensual dance. At first I felt awkward then I relaxed into his kiss. His kiss was different than Meadow's but it felt amazing. We continued to kiss for several minutes.
