The next chapter is up! Enjoy :)

It's been a couple weeks since the incident with Mark.

Setg-in and Thea seem to be growing closer with each other the more time they spend together. Most days, he seems to divide his time between hunting and training.

He also still takes time out to train her.

Though at times, Thea still jokes with him and points out she believes he does it for his own amusement. Whenever she did a move wrong or lose her balance and land on her ass, he would laugh.

Thankfully, her balance has been getting better through. And it seems like lately, the only times she does find herself on her ass is when he purposely trips her up.

When that happened, it would sometimes end with Thea chasing a laughing Setg-in around the yard, yelling at him and threatening to kick his ass.

"I don't think your short legs could reach my ass. So, good luck there." He once joked.

"I can reach your ass plenty with my legs and feet. Same goes for your balls too." She retorted.

"Thanks for letting me know. Now I know to always where my metal codpiece when training you. So, I don't get a cheap shot to the nuts." Setg-in replied.

Thea smirks, "Who says, I'll do it during training. May do it while you're walking about the house when your just in your loincloth."

The two had just finished training for the day and were heading inside.

"Don't even think about it. Or I'll deliver a cheap shot to your chest." He quipped.

The yautja knew if you hit a female's boobs hard enough, it will hurt. So, if she wants to give him a dirty shot, he'll repay her in favor and give her one.

"Nope, don't want to be walking around with swollen boobs. It sucks dealing with that as it is when they swell during my period. Among other things." She says.

They both went in and headed upstairs.

As they continued to talk, he followed her into her bedroom.

"Want to get the sheets off of the bed and into laundry to wash them first before I shower. Otherwise, I know I'll forget." Thea said.

She went to pull the thin quilt off of her bed. Then went to grab the sheets.

"Need a hand?" He asks.

"Sure, just pull out the bottom sheet from beneath the mattress. Start at the corners." She instructed.

Setg-in snorted, "Don't have to tell me that. I've seen you remove the sheets before. Even did my own when they had to come off to be washed."

"Yet, the first time you tried it, you tried to pull everything off from the middle and nearly tore the bottom sheet trying to pull it out from beneath the mattress." She teased.

The yauja rolled his eyes.

"We have pelts we sleep on, and they are not usually tucked into anything." He stated.

Then he grabbed the edge of the bottom sheet on the upper right corner and started to pull it out.

As he did though, the mattress came up a little and something fell out from between the mattress and box spring. It fell to the rug at his feet.

Setg-in picked up the object in question and held it up in front of him. He furrowed his eye ridges, turning the object in his hand this way and that.

When Thea saw what he had, she froze. At first, she was mortified. Then a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes and she smirked. And not a few seconds later, his amber eyes shifted to her.

"What is this?" He asks, waving the somewhat long pink thing around.

She bit her lip, "Its a toy of sorts."

His eyes flitter back and forth once more from her to it.

"Looks like a strange toy. How does it work?" He asks, curious.

"You see that round plastic part on the end? You're supposed to twist it to turn it on." Thea said.

She was starting to have a hard time trying to contain her laughter, and really had to purse her lips together tightly.

He tilted his head to the side a little and reached up with his other hand and twisted the round plastic piece at one end like she said. Next thing he knew, the thing started vibrate in his hand.

"This all it does? What's the point of it then?" Setg-in asks.

Thea couldn't keep quiet any longer and she decided to spill the beans to him.

"That's because it's not just any toy. It's a special 'female' toy. We use it to pleasure ourselves. We turn it on and then use it to stimulate and penetrate our vaginas." She finally confessed.

Setg-in's mouth dropped open and a sheer look of horror was ever present on his face. And he quickly dropped the 'toy' with a loud bark like it had burned him and stepped away from it.

He then ran into her bathroom and started to thoroughly wash his hands in the sink, using up just about half the soap in the dispenser.

While Thea dropped to the bed clutching her stomach and laughing her ass off like a crazy woman. All while hearing the yautja drop some curses here and there as he washed his hands for what had to be a solid couple minutes.

"Seriously!? Why the hell did you not tell me up front what that was before I touched it!?" He yelled from the bathroom.

"Because this was way more hilarious!" She said between laughs, wiping the tears from her eyes.

When he eventually came out, he shot her a very dirty look. Which only made her laugh more.

"As far as your jokes go, that was the nastiest." He quipped.

"I'm surprised you didn't figure out what it was. The thing is shaped like a penis, with details and everything." She said, with laughter still in her voice.

When he things about it, she does have a point. By looking at its overall shape with the bumps and ridges, it clearly was a phallus of sorts. Probably to mimic an ooman male's penis.

"I doubt that thing truly satisfies you. It's very small compared the males of my kind. Even I'm much bigger than that, as you already know." He ended with a smirk.

Her cheeks turned pink when she thinks about the time he dropped his drawers in front of her in the bathroom that first time.

"Don't flatter yourself. Size isn't everything, you know." She said.

He arched an eye ridge and gave her a 'yeah right' kind of look.

Then Setg-in grabbed one of the discarded pillowcases and picked up her vibrator with it. She watched as he walked over to one of the open windows.

He stopped in front of one and glanced her way once, before he flung the vibrator out the window. It went very far too. Practically clearing the yard and landing just past the tree line somewhere.

It was her turn for her mouth to drop open and give him a look.

"Set, really!? What the hell!?" She yelled at him.

He dropped the pillowcase to the carpeted floor and wiped his hands together, while giving her a wide smirk.

"Don't need it anymore, Thea. You have me. If your ever feeling horny, just come find me. I know for a fact I could please you way more than a measly toy." The yautja joked.

"Ha, ha, very funny! March your ass out there and get it!" She demanded.

"I'm not touching that thing again. Why do you think I used a pillowcase?" He inquired.

"I'm serious, go and get it." Thea repeated.

"Nope. And I can only hope you don't have anymore 'special' presents beneath your mattress. Otherwise, I may either use them as ornaments to decorate your roof with." He stated.

She snorted, "You caught me, there is a rubber dick with suction on the back of the balls so you can stick it to a wall." She sarcastically replied.

"Even better. I'll stick it to the front bumper of your car. It will look pretty interesting seeing you drive down the road with it attached to the front. Will certainly make other drivers and pedestrians look twice." Setg-in joked.

"I was kidding! I don't have one of those! And even if I did, I'll be sure to give you a thorough ass kicking if you were to pull something like that!" She blurted out.

He started chuckling at her small outburst. Which only made her glare at him.

"You know, I could always get a foot long fake penis and place it on the pillow next to you while you're sleeping. Which is getting more tempting the more I think about it." She said with a smirk.

"Female, don't even think about it. Or I'll beat you over the head with it." Setgi-in quipped.

Her smirk widened, "Ohh, is that a form of foreplay where you're from? And if so, didn't think you were into kink like that."

"Keep talking, Thea. You may just go flying out the window next." He replied.

"Is that like foreplay for the females on your world? Can almost picture them doing that to you males. Especially, after you told me how volatile they get during mating." She joked.

He snorted, "Hardly, they more or less prefer shoving us into the walls before tossing us onto the bed and mounting us."

"Sounds very sexy." She sarcastically said.

"Well, I'm sure it's certainly more exhilarating than using a toy." He teased.

"Tough talk from a guy whose hands are now his best friends in getting the job done for him." Thea teased back.

"Careful, Thea. That free flying lesson through the window is starting to really look promising." He playfully warned.

"Just have one question." She said.

He arched an eye ridge in suspicion.

"And what's that?" Setg-in asked.

Thea grinned, "Which is Jack and which one is Jill?" She aske, motioning to his hands.

Next thing she knew, she let out a surprised squeak when he dove onto her bed and caged her in.

She looked up at him wide eyed as his face was mere inches away from her own. They widened more as he leaned in and whispered in her ear.

"You have been warned." He said, in a low tone.

Not a moment later his hands attacked her sides.

She started laughing and squirming beneath him, while trying to shove his hands away.

"No! Ha ha ha! Stop! Ha ha ha!" She blurted out between peals of laughter.

"No, you started this by having me touch that nasty toy of yours. And now, you're paying for it." He stated with a smirk.

Setg-in kept up his assault, until she told him she couldn't breathe, because she was laughing so hard.

"I'm sorry! Ha ha ha! Please stop! Ha ha ha! I can't ha ha breathe!" She got out.

The young warrior finally pulled back, granting her some mercy.

But he still stayed hovering over her form. He now was resting on his forearms, which were on either side of her body. She was huffing and puffing a little, but still had a smile on her face.

He unconsciously, reached up with his hand and lightly brushed a few stray strands of hair from the side of her forehead and face.

Instead of pulling his hand back though, he let it linger there and cupped the side of her face. Thea's eyes were on his own amber colored ones. Neither of them looking away.

Setg-in then felt her own smaller, softer hand reach up and caress the side of his muzzle. And once she did this, he found himself beginning to purr.

At first, when she met him, she thought the purring was rather strange. Mainly because it was weird seeing something like that coming from a humanoid being.

But in time, she had come to actually like it and found it to be soothing.

Her gaze was still on his face as he leaned in closer and slowly nuzzled his closed mandibles over the other side of her face.

Warmth shot through her and her heart skipped a beat as she felt his mandibles gently brush against her cheek. It felt and seemed to come across as a sign of affection of sorts.

Thea's eyes fluttered close and she slightly turned her face and pressed her lips to the outside of his muzzle.

Once she did this, it sounded like his purring kicked up a notch. And he continued to run his closed mandibles from her chin to the side of her temples.

Setg-in felt a spark jolt down his spine and a tingly feeling in his muzzle when she kissed him. It was a strange yet welcoming feeling. Something he never felt before while courting or mating a female of his kind.

She let out a shaky sigh as he ran his mandibles down the side of her neck, his tusk lightly pinching and grazing her skin as he went.

She could feel her body was starting to react to what he was doing. And then she noted an odd yet enticing smell coming off of him. It was like a woodsy or Earthy scent.

The scent was getting a little stronger the more he touched her and ran is muzzle over her neck down to her shoulder. And it was starting to do something to her too.

The young woman found herself becoming a little lightheaded. She could also feel her nipples pucker beneath the fabric of her sports bra and some wetness starting to build up down below.

Setg-in could smell her growing arousal as he continued nipping and teasing her with his mandibles. And he felt his cock begin to stir beneath his loincloth.

Thea let out a small gasp when she felt rub his pelvis against hers.

His eyes began to dilate and cloud with lust from the intermingling of their scents from their arousal. Setg-in's other hand started to reach over to one of her breasts.

Suddenly, a loud sound filtered through the air. It made them snap out of their stupor and pull back.

She looked up, her gaze shooting to the source of the noise. Her iPhone over on the nightstand was ringing. Thea shot a quick glance back at the yautja, before reaching over to grab her phone.

She sighed in annoyance when the caller I.D. said 'Potential Spam' across the top of the screen.

Thea hit a button to silence the ringing, before dropping it back on the nightstand. Then she shifted her gaze back to Setg-in. He was now standing by the edge of the bed.

He was breathing a little heavy and his gaze was averted down to the ground and off to the side.

But when he caught her looking at him out of the corner of his eye, he turned his gaze back to her. They both stared at each other for several moments.

It seemed like a wide range of emotions danced across their eyes.

It felt like forever before either of them spoke.

"I...I'm going to take a shower, now that the sheets are off." She said.

Then she got off of the bed and made a B-Line for her bathroom and shut the door.

Setg-in stood there a little longer until he heard the sound of running water. He too was having internal conflicts and didn't know what tom make of what just happened between them.

One minute, they were playing around. And the next, it was like they were in a trance or something.

The young warrior knew for some time now, that he started feeling attracted to the petite ooman female. There were just so many things about her that drew him to her. Something so different and unlike any female yautja.

Yautja females were very strong, rough, and dominant. Always one to take charge, especially during mating.

Thea was the complete opposite of that. She was not super strong, and her body was soft. But she was a very caring and selfless person, who wouldn't hesitate to help complete strangers like himself.

She had a sharp mind and a strong will. And he also couldn't help but find her beautiful.

All these traits just made her even more desirable to him. Enough to the point that he no longer cared she was an ooman. She was special, and he felt very fortunate to have her come into his life.

A life that was nothing but a nightmare before he crash landed here on Earth.

Within the last couple weeks, he kept what he was feeling reigned in, convinced that she would never feel the same for him, not like he did for her.

But what they just shared not a couple minutes ago, proved otherwise. There was something there, she did feel something for him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have reciprocated or engaged him in such a manner.

His eyes drifted to the window, deep in thought.

'If I am to do this. I want it done properly and to be perfect. Because Thea deserves more than to be thrown down and rutted like she were another yautja during a mating cycle. She's more than that. And I need to show her what she is to me.' He thought to himself.

With that in mind, he turned around and left her bedroom.

Thea stood under the spray, letting the cool water rush over her overheated skin. Her mind was still trying to piece together what just happened.

She had been denying for the last couple weeks now that she found Setg-in attractive, despite his alien appearance.

But now, that denial and resolve was really starting to crumble. She never would've thought that beneath all those jokes, that he would come to truly care more about her than a friend.

At the moment, she was unsure whether to feel excited about it or dread it. The rational part of her mind kept telling her how this will never work. Despite how much she would like it to.

She put her hands on the tiled wall in front of her and bent her head forward, squeezing her eyes shut.

Thea felt all it was doing right now, was adding already to the ever-growing inner turmoil she was battling within herself. She felt like it was cruel and unfair that the one guy she happened to be falling for was an alien.

She opened her eyes, and turned around, facing away from the spray.

'Why does life have to be so fucking complicated like this?' She thought.

Eventually, she turned the shower off and got out.

She wrapped a towel around her and opened her door. The young woman then slowly peered out and noticed that Setg-in had left her room. She let out a sigh of relief than entered her bedroom and grabbed some fresh clothes to change into.

Hey Everyone! Just wanted readers to know, that due to work starting back up, I may not be able to get out multiple chapters a day anymore. Having the summer off, it was easy dishing out 2-3 chapters a day.

But the schools have officially started back up. And now I'm back to an 8:15am-3:15pm schedule as an Instructional Aide in one of the Elementary Schools.

Because of this, I may only now be able to get out only 1-2 chapters a day. But either way, I still should be able to update daily regardless of the new work schedule.

No worries, I'll still continue to work on this story until completion. And I already have another idea for another story in mind after I finish this one.

I wish to extend a thank you to all that are following the story and continue to do so as it progresses. And as always, please leave reviews!

Until Next Time ;)
