offered to help her carry things, but in that way that clearly said that they thought she was going to hurt herself without their assistance because she was weak, so she’d turned them all down. Now they didn’t offer, but watched her as if they were waiting for the moment when she dropped everything or collapsed in a heap.
    She kept her head held high, refusing, absolutely refusing to show weakness in front of them. Somehow she knew that if she did, it would get back to Aedian, and he’d just use it to fuel his ‘humans are the worst thing since planet death’ rants.
    When she got to the rooms, she had to juggle the boxes for a bit so she could press her hand to the sensor on the door that read her prints and let her in.
    Of course, as soon as she entered, Aedian was there, looking bored as he watched something on the huge screen that took up most of the far wall in the main room. He glanced up as she walked in and then looked away. “More things.”
    It wasn’t a question, and Roxanne bristled, sex thoughts on hold for the moment. “More things.” she confirmed. “What? You have a problem with me having things?”
    Aedian shrugged like he couldn’t care less either way. “Humans have a lot of things.”
    “Right,” Roxy snapped. “Because we came to your planet with all of our ships and tech and weapons. I forgot.”
    He looked at her then, eyebrow arched. “We needed those things.”
    “And I need these things. If you don’t want to deal with them in your rooms, then give me my own.”
    “That isn’t how things are done.”
    “Then stop complaining.”
    They looked at each other for a long moment and then Roxanne sighed, sagging slightly. If this was how things were always going to be between them, it was going to be exhausting. She didn’t know how the other two women were getting on with their alien husbands to be, but she was willing to bet that they weren’t fighting all the time like she and Aedian were. Remembering the conversation with Samantha, Roxanne made a decision.
    She put the boxes down in the corner of the room to go through later and turned to face Aedian. His eyes had drifted back to the screen, but she could tell he wasn’t really watching whatever was on. So she walked forward and stood in front of him, blocking his view.
    He didn’t say anything, just looked up at her (and he only had to crane his neck a small bit to look right in her eyes), as if he was waiting for her to say whatever it was she needed to say.
    Well, lucky for him, she didn’t intend to say anything.
    Slowly and deliberately, she sank down to her knees and scooted forward until she was kneeling between his spread legs.
    She didn’t know if it was her in a submissive position or the fact that he could guess what was about to happen, but something had those silvery eyes darkening as he looked down at her, and he spread his legs a bit wider.
    “Go on,” he murmured, voice husky.
    “I was planning to.”
    And honestly, it was ridiculous how easy this was. How as soon as sex came up, the bickering stopped and they focused on each other and nothing else.
    She slid her hands up his thighs, feeling the hard muscles there and actually enjoying the way they tensed and flexed under her hands. Deft fingers found the fastenings of his pants, and she undid them quickly, smiling a bit when Aedian’s breathing quickened.
    He was already getting hard, and Roxanne was amused to note that it seemed like Calphesians didn’t bother with underwear.
    His cock was thick and long, curving towards his belly as it twitched and grew under her gaze. Roxy wrapped her hand around it, feeling the silky flesh and how warm it was. He was too tall to hold his gaze when she was on her knees, but that was fine. It gave her more cause to focus on his cock and making him feel good.
    With slow strokes, she slid her hand up and down his shaft, watching as it thickened and hardened even more, growing in size. It was sort of amazing to remember
