"What would you do, Sir Leon?" she asked, glancing back over her shoulder like someone asking for directions on a map she'd never read before. Her voice was soft, edged with curiosity and a shy kind of hope. "I have no idea how you humans mate, so I want you to lead it the way you like. I haven't mated with anyone before—I don't really know how this goes. Would you… guide me?"
That simple, earnest request hit some private place in me and made my pulse thrum. It was weirdly arousing—like being handed the map to a place I'd only ever glimpsed, and being told I could draw the route.
"Well, I'm not going to complain," I answered, trying to keep my voice steady. "I do feel some attraction to you." Casual words, but warm. Honest.
"Me too. I'm glad you feel the same." She turned and kissed me again, like sealing the agreement with a promise pressed to my lips.
