“I think I understand.” Breeze smiled. “And you are not a mooch. He doesn’t know what one is so therefore you can’t be what he doesn’t know exists.”

Ellie laughed. “I guess you got me there.”

“You should do it with him and you will feel better. You’ll give him something in return to avoid being a mooch.”

Ellie was glad she hadn’t taken a sip of the soda clasped in her hand or she would have choked. She gaped at Breeze. “Uh, you shouldn’t do it with someone unless you are in a relationship and care about them in a special way. If you do it with someone for food, money, or a roof over your head, that’s called prostitution. That’s bad.”

“Your world is too complicated.”

“Yeah,” Ellie agreed, taking a sip of her soda. “It is.”

“You should still do it with him. He likes you and I think you like him. He is very manly and sexually appealing. We all think we should do it with each other if we are mutually attracted. We had meetings about it.”

Ellie put down her drink. “You had meetings about sex?”

“Of course. We once didn’t have choices. We had to do it with whomever we were forced to be with. We hold all kinds of meetings where we discuss things. Doing it was one of those topics. We can do it with anyone we desire to do it with if they want to do it back.”

Ellie rubbed her hand over her mouth, trying to hide her smile. “That’s acceptable too.”

“We thought so. We even discussed doing it with you after the rumors started.”

“Fury and I were the topic of a meeting?” Shocked, Ellie knew her voice had risen. A blush warmed her cheeks. The NSO discussed me and Fury having sex? Dear God!

“Not you and Fury exactly but it was brought up about doing it with your people and ours.”

“Oh.” She relaxed as relief washed through her. Thank God. “How did that go?”

Breeze shrugged. “We don’t know if it will work. We have watched your people doing it on DVD’s and we do it different.”

Ellie tried not to laugh. She had to compose her features to hide her amusement. “You watched  p**n os? Is that what you are saying? Pornos are videos of my people ha**ng s*x together.”

“Yes.” Breeze smiled. “We watched those.”

“Uh…” Ellie eyed Breeze. “Those videos are kind of…” She was at a loss. “Well, they don’t really, well, they aren’t really…” She sighed. “I don’t have sex that way.”

“You don’t? What is different?”

Where do I begin? This may be embarrassing but I’m here to help these women. Ellie kicked off her shoes to sit cross-legged on the couch. “The way they talk for starters. I never speak that way and if a man spoke to me the way they do in those films, I would probably get pretty upset.”

“Calling females offensive bad words and demanding they do sexual acts even though they don’t look that pleasurable for females?”

“Yes. Exactly.”

“We thought it kind of shocking. Some believe it’s downright rude.”

“Yeah, well, if a guy said some lines in those movies to a woman in real life, well, he’d end up being slapped or worse.”

“Understood. What else is different?”

Ellie shrugged. “I don’t know what you’ve seen. Most people don’t have sex with multiple partners to start with. We’re monogamous in general.”

“So I don’t have to invite a female friend to our bed if I want to do it with a fully human man or sleep with two of them at once? I had decided to never touch a human because of that. We don’t share well and I figure a capable male should be able to please a woman without needing help from a friend.”

“No!” Ellie closed her mouth, which had fallen open. “Stop watching those. Watch love stories. Porn movies are…well, they just…” She softly cursed. “Tell them to stop watching them and forget what they’ve seen. Please. Those are actors and actresses who are paid to have sex on film. They are given a script that someone wrote. Do you understand? They are made to be entertainment but not a ‘how to’ guide on sex unless you want to see how something is done without actually doing it.”

“Okay.”

“What is your version of sex? Maybe we can start there. It might be the same.”

“Well, we enjoy kissing. We love to kiss. That is new to us but we picked that up after we were freed. We love to touch. We say soft, appealing words, and growl to show our level of arousal. Is that all right?”

“Perfect,” Ellie admitted. The growling… She let that slide.

“We fight for dominance and whoever is tougher gets to decide the position we have sex. The male usually wins unless he is tired or weak from injury.”

“Uh…” Ellie’s mind blanked with that shocking news.

Breeze stopped talking. “Is that different from you?”

“Explain ‘fight for dominance’.”

She blinked. “It’s just the way it sounds.”

“Like wrestling?”

She nodded. “Very similar.”

Ellie shrugged. “That would be okay but we don’t usually enjoy pain during sex. You know that, right?”

“Okay. I’ll share that. So no fighting?”

“I’d skip that part. I’m sure some people would be into it but it’s not something you’d want to generally assume as okay to do.”
