“Good. Thank you for trusting me, Dani,” he murmured. “All right—let me see it.”

  With trembling fingers, she unfastened two of the oversized uniform shirt’s buttons and let the silky blue material down around her upper arms. This bared her shoulders and the tops of her breasts. She thought she had never felt so naked in her life…so vulnerable as she did now with so much bare skin exposed and the huge Kindred looming over her from behind.

  But she felt nothing but gentleness in his big hands when Ky brushed her hair to the side and examined the long, shallow scratch which ran from the center of her shoulder blade all the way across her back and around to the side of her arm.

  “Bend over a little, Dani,” he murmured. “You’re too short for me to reach you when you’re sitting straight up.”

  Trembling a little with nerves, Dani did as he asked. She scooted towards the center of the bed and grabbed one of the big, fluffy pillows. Holding it to her chest, she leaned over, cushioning her head on it to expose her bare flesh to Ky.

  “Gods, you have beautiful skin,” she heard him say softly. “So warm and brown and silky.”

  Dani shivered when she felt the coarse brush of his whiskers against her bare back and then something hot and wet was bathing the throbbing wound where it started at her shoulder blade.

  She bit her lip as she felt him looming over her, so close his bare chest was nearly brushing her back and behind. It almost felt like she was in the Breeding Position and he was about to try and penetrate her…

  But even if he tried, could he get it in? She was still sore from her abortive attempt to get him inside her earlier but her body didn’t seem to care. Even though the tender flesh between her thighs felt hurt and swollen, she still throbbed with need.

  Ky’s tongue on her shoulder and back seemed to make the throbbing stronger. She could feel herself getting wet and hot, maybe from the gentle way he was licking her…or maybe from the vulnerable, unintentionally erotic position she was in.

  Moaning softly, she opened her legs a little, trying to ease the ache between her thighs which hurt even more than the pain-spear scratch on her back and shoulder.

  Hearing her moan, Ky stopped licking at once.

  “What’s wrong, little girl? Am I making it worse? It looks like it’s healing but if I’m hurting you…”

  “No. No, it’s not that,” Dani murmured. “I…I was just thinking.”

  “Thinking what?” Ky asked, and licked gently at her shoulder again.

  Dani wondered if she ought to tell the big Kindred the thoughts that had been running through her head. Should she tell him about the pain and throbbing between her thighs? But what if he wanted to heal her there too?

  Surely he wouldn’t want such a thing, she thought, her cheeks getting hot. An image of the big Kindred between her thighs licking her where she felt so tingly and wet flashed before her mind’s eye but Dani pushed it away. No male would do such a thing—would debase himself in that way before a female. Certainly no Goshan male, anyway and even the Kindred had to have limits on what they would do for their females, didn’t they?

  “Do you not want to tell me?” Ky asked and she realized he was still waiting to hear her thoughts. But she couldn’t tell him she’d been picturing him licking between her thighs! Just the idea made her feel so embarrassed she could die.

  “I…I was thinking of the way you have me bent over as you’re healing me,” she blurted out.

  “Really?” Ky murmured. “What about it? It’s the easiest way to reach you since you’re so little.”

  “It…it reminded me of…of Breeding Position,” Dani heard herself saying. “I mean, not that I’ve ever been in that position before but…” She trailed off, feeling embarrassed. Why in the world had she brought up Breeding Position?

  “Breeding Position?” Ky frowned. “You said something like that before when you were trying to, uh, get me to change the color of your eyes, as I recall. You asked if it wasn’t working because you weren’t in Breeding Position.”

  “Yes,” she whispered.

  “Tell me, Dani…” He stopped licking her shoulder and turned her hot face towards his, so their eyes met. “What is Breeding Position? Explain it to me.”

  “It’s the position a female must get into in order for a male to penetrate her sacred channel with his scepter,” Dani explained.

  “Sacred channel? You mean your pussy?” he asked bluntly.

  Dani blushed again. “Is that what your people call the inner part of a woman’s body where a man’s shaft is meant to go?”

  “Well, part of it,” Ky said. “But I’m not just talking about the inner part—pussy also refers to the soft, sweet outer part too. Your nether lips and your clit.”

  “Clit?” She asked, frowning. “You mean…my pleasure button?”

  “Exactly.” Ky nodded and gave her a lazy smile. “All those areas deserve attention too. Not just the inner channel where a male can penetrate. But tell me more about this ‘Breeding Position.’ How exactly does it work?”

  Dani bit her lip.

  “Well…on their wedding night when the male is ready to claim his female and change the color of her eyes, she arranges herself on the bed in the Breeding Position so that he can penetrate her and perhaps plant a baby in her belly.”

  “But what position is she in?” Ky asked, frowning. “No, don’t try to tell me,” he said, stopping her when Dani started to explain. “Tell you what, little girl—show me.”

  “You…you really want to see?” Dani asked softly. “I mean, I’ve never been in that position myself but I know—every girl knows—what’s expected on her wedding night.”

  “Yes.” His eyes were heavy-lidded now. “Yes, I really want to see it. Show me, little girl. Show me Breeding Position.”

  Dani felt the heat between her thighs growing even hotter. Gods above was she really going to get into this erotic position for him and show him exactly how a Goshan female prepared to be bred? It was embarrassing and yet…somehow she wanted to do it.

  “All right,” she whispered. “Sit back a little and I’ll show you.”

  Ky sat back obligingly and she was very aware of his piercing green eyes on her as she got shakily to her hands and knees. The uniform shirt, still half unbuttoned, gaped wide to show her full, naked breasts hanging down but Dani didn’t try to cover herself. In the Breeding Position it was important for a female to be uncovered for her male, to offer him easy access to her body. In fact, if she really wanted to be accurate, she ought to pull up the hem of the shirt and bare her ass and her…her pussy, that was what Ky had called it…and bare her pussy too.

  Dani told herself it was important to be accurate. Spreading her thighs wide, she reached back and pulled the silky blue shirt up, showing her bare ass and pussy—offering herself to Ky, almost as if she really did want him to change the color of her eyes.

  “Gods…” His low groan seemed to do strange things to her insides. She could feel her pussy getting hotter and wetter despite the pain she still felt from trying to fit him in her earlier.

  “There…there are words a girl is supposed to say too,” she told Ky, turning her head shyly to watch him watching her, drinking in her body. “Do…do you want to hear them?”

  “Yes, little girl,” he growled hoarsely. “Yes, I fucking do. Say them to me.”

  “She’s supposed to say, ‘Take me, warrior. I offer my body for your pleasure and need. Slake your lust with me and fill me with your shaft. Seed my womb with your essence that new life may grow within me.’ Then…” She cleared her throat. “Then I’m supposed to open myself even more—like this.”

  She tilted her hips back, thrusting out her throbbing pussy and lowered herself so that her head was resting on her crossed arms. This change of position caused her body to spread itself even more, her outer lips opening almost like a flower that needed watering.

  Not that she lacked moisture, Dani couldn’t help thinking. Her pussy was already so wet she could feel her j
