He motioned with his head toward the exit, then stood with his hand held out toward the beautiful woman. “Let’s go eat then,” he said.
Lexi took his hand with a surprised look. Rao adored the way she took his hand, as well as the quick slip of her pink tongue between her blood-red lips. It made him want her, but it also made him wonder if she was starting to warm to him.
He took Lexi to a luxury resort only a few minutes away. It sat upon a cliff that looked over the horizon at the sunrise and then rotated to face the direction of the sunset. It also had a delicious assortment of both Nova Aurora and Earth food they could both enjoy.
They walked in, and the host immediately retrieved a table for them beside a wide window. The restaurant overlooked a massive gorge, which was a shade of rustic red and dusty yellow.
Lexi followed him to the table, slipping her hand into his as she spoke. Rao nearly yelped out like a cartoon dog.
“I guess it's easy for you to get tables wherever you go, isn’t it?”
Rao was a bit surprised by her question. He had been holding in his desire to speak to her, to get to know her every dream and every nightmare, and there she was, beginning to dig into him like a gold mine.
They sat down opposite each other, and Rao was sure that he loved the magical view of Lexi sitting before him more than that of the gorge below. He gulped before replying, which made her smile while holding the menu.
“I mean, yes, it's pretty easy,” he replied, placing the menu flat. “That’s what happens when you become the leader of a certain pride around here, anyway.”
Lexi’s tongue slipped between her lips again, and Rao couldn’t stop seeing flashes in his mind of what that tongue could do to him.
“I think I like that,” she said with a wink.
Rao felt like he was ready to topple over onto the floor. Her mood had shifted with a light-hearted flirtatiousness taking her over rather than the usual resistant one. The change was enticing and exciting but a little abrupt, so Rao stared down at the menu like it was going to give him the answers he was seeking.
“Tell me what to order,” Lexi said. “I want to try something I’ve never had in my mouth before.”
Rao’s leg twitched in response to her, smacking against the table and clinking the utensils together. Lexi let out a cute laugh that Rao knew he would hear echoing within the walls of his memory forever.
“Umm,” Rao said, trying to center himself. “The gander-fried soup is good here. It’s a lot like a tuna melt where you’re from…”
They ordered the same meals while Rao tried to contain his buzzing excitement and arousal. Lexi had opened up like a rose to the sun, joking around with him and asking him questions about the planet he had called home for his whole life. She ate the meal with genuine interest, looking up at him and giving him a cute smile every now and then.
“This is really delicious,” she said, covering her mouth.
I think you’re really delicious.
Once they had finished eating, they sat luxuriating with a glass of Nova Aurora white wine. Between one of the few minutes of silence, Lexi had leaned forward onto the table, once again pushing her breasts together to show off her spectacular cleavage.
Rao knew that she was doing it intentionally when one of her bare feet began to caress his leg beneath the table. He wanted to bite and kiss and lick those breasts until she saw heaven.
“I have a confession to make,” she said in a low, sultry voice.
Rao felt his cock twitch in his pants, and he leaned forward, the din of the establishment evaporating completely. “Which is?” he said breathlessly.
A slow smirk grew on Lexi’s tantalizing lips. They were so plump and luscious. Her taste still lingered in his mouth from the first time they collided. She held his gaze and dropped the most astounding bombshell on him in a voice that was directly erotic.
“I really want to have sex with you. Tonight.”
Rao was glad he wasn’t drinking wine at the time, or he would have definitely started to choke. All he could do was blink rapidly as her naughty expression drew him in like a sexy witch casting a spell on him.
He felt her foot move up to his knee, and his cock became hard as a rock. “Does this mean that you … are attracted to me?” he whispered.
Lexi let out a giggle while still keeping eye contact. Her foot moved up to his chair, planting between his legs and teasing his increasing arousal. “Of course I am,” she replied, her voice deep and breathy. “I’m so used to protecting myself from men. That’s why I’ve been so standoffish.”
Rao didn’t realize, but he, too, was leaning forward on the table, nearly resting his chin upon it as they spoke. “Well, yes,” he said quietly. “You haven’t exactly seemed very fond of me. So this is coming off as a bit of a surprise.”
Lexi slowly licked her lips, then used the pad of her foot to lightly press against his crotch. It was soft, but the sensation of any part of her interaction with his most sensitive spot nearly made him spill out instantly.
“I know,” she replied. “It’s different for each woman on Earth. Some like to wait for marriage, and some don’t. I happen to be a woman who finds sex fun, and I want to have fun with you.”
