He wiped it away. "Why are you crying?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. It felt," she closed her eyes for a moment savoring the memory of his touch and her climax that he gave her. "I don't know. I just feel like something is left unfinished." She gave a nervous laugh as the tears continued to fall. "I liked what you did and I, you know. I don't know. It's silly. I'm being,"

He shook his head and placed a finger across her lips. "I understand. It's not the same as me being inside you, claiming you."

She glanced down the length of his body and her eyes settled on his arousal. She slid her hand in that direction. He captured her hand and brought it back to rest on his chest. He placed a kiss in the palm of her hand.

"Look at me."

She brushed away more tears that fell as her gaze locked with his.

"I want to claim you more than anything I have ever wanted in my life."

"But?"

"Right now, you need time to heal, and I need to know that you understand what being claimed by me means." Moto put a finger across her lips. "I'm guessing Sari has talked to you about the Kahoali bonding."

She nodded.

"There is no going back." He explained. "Once I make you my bonded mate you are tied to me for the rest of your life and mine. No matter what obstacles we face in the future, you will have to remain by my side, no matter what."

"I know, Sari told me."

"Do you? The Kahoali live give or take 200 years."

Kaily sat up. "How old are you?"

Moto pulled her back down to lay on him. "Fifty-five."

"You age well." She heard the sarcasm in her voice.

"That is what I'm talking about. I'm still young among my people."

"Don't you want to know my age?" She offered.

He shook his head. "No."

"Twenty-three," She said anyway. She yelped when the flat of his hand came down hard on her backside. He flipped her to her back and covered her body with his.

"I said no." He gave her a stern look.

She laughed.

"You have spent too much time with Shimani." Moto caressed the side of her face. "When I claim you, I need to know that you understand, truly understand what it means to be my bonded mate and how that changes both our lives."

She reached up and caressed his face in the same way he did hers. "I'm never going to fully understand in the way that I think you want me to. There is so much about your world that is so foreign to me and right now is hard for me to understand. It will take time, but I'll get there, Moto. There are things that I just have to experience to understand. There is no other way for me to gain that understanding. Take our ages for example. On my world twenty-three and fifty-five are different life stages, and yet when I look at you, I would have said we were in the same life stage."

Moto closed his eyes.

"Hey, look at me," she tapped his forehead. "What I know is that I don't want to be without you." She knew it to be true the moment the words left her lips. She wanted to go back home and back to her life, but she didn't want to do that without Moto, and she didn't even know if that was possible. She had enough she could take care of both of them, but how would he even fit into her world? Regardless, she knew she didn't want to be without him in her life. "I may not understand this bonded mate thing, but I understand that. I want you in a way I have never wanted anyone. It hurts me in here," Kaily pointed to her heart, "to think of life without you. It hurt me so much when I thought Sari and you were married, that's how I know that I want you more than you may know."

"What if it's not enough, Kaily?" There was a catch in his voice.

"It is enough." She said. "You just have to trust that it is enough." Her hand traveled down his chest, past his stomach, and stopped at the band of his trousers, "give yourself to me the way you asked me to give myself to you." Her eyes held his as she waited. She could see conflict flickering in his eyes. She didn't understand it, but she would give him the one thing that he needed, her patience. She saw the moment he decided.

He stood. With his eyes locked with hers he removed his boots and placed them next to Kaily's that he removed from her earlier. Next, he pulled down his trousers, and then took off his vest, until he stood naked before her. "I promised Sari I would wait to claim you."

She knelt on the pallet and removed her top in answer.

He groaned. He stood in front of her.

"Then let me pleasure you the way you have me." She experimentally licked the tip of his hardness.

He moaned. He grabbed a handful of her hair at the back of her head. "Open your mouth."

She obeyed. A brief flicker of fear passed through her as he slid himself into her mouth. She was afraid he was too big for her.

I won't hurt you, little one. He whispered in her mind.

Her eyes jumped to his. She forced herself to relax and trust him.

That's it. Relax for me. He slowly pushed his manhood deeper into her mouth until his tip hit the back of her throat. He pulled out slightly when she gagged. That's it, give me your trust. He caressed the side of her face with his other hand.

She kept her eyes locked with his as he continued to slide in and out of her mouth. She wrapped a hand around the base and wrapped the other around his muscular thigh to help give herself balance. There was so much
