Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Mating Ritual

She nearly fainted with relief. "Oh, that mating ritual. Where did you learn about it?"

"Zurian obtained a manual."

She'd love to be a fly on the wall when the Zyrgins talked about the dating manual.

She walked him to the door and, when they reached it, he leaned down and kissed her, and it was as good as she remembered. Even better than the kiss with Johnny handsome behind her daddy's shed. That had been the kiss against which she measured kisses, but now her warrior doctor has raised the bar. Sky high. This kiss, this hot open-mouthed passionate kiss from an alien set her body on fire. She drew him closer and kissed him back with everything she had, pouring all the tenderness she'd learned to feel for him into it.

"Take me to bed," she whispered. The words slipping out before she realized her own intention.

She'd barely whispered the words when she found herself next to her bed, still kissing him. At times like this, she really appreciated his speed.
