Chapter 5
Kyier
We stood staring at each. She seemed a bit shocked. "I have no intention of doing anything on this shuttle. Our first encounter should be more refined. It will be in our abode but when we arrive we will have roughly 36 hours to consumate our union. I admit I am not as familiar with human anatomy as I would like to be. There are some obvious differences. For instance it is my understanding you have only one pleasure tunnel as opposed to a pleasure tunnel and a birth canal. I see you only have 2 breast. " I frowned. "How do you manage to feed children with only 2 ?" She had the strangest look on her face. I didn't know if she was scared or what. "Are you well?"
She laughed. I liked the sound but I am unsure of what I said that was funny. "We feed children just fine. It's normally only one at birth but even with twins it is fine." I frowned.
"You have single children?" Our females normally have 2-4 each pregnancy. Although I have heard most with earth wives only have 1. Maybe 2. I guess two would be sufficient then." I stared at her breast." Does the size mean you produce and can store more milk?"
She gasped. "That's not. you don't.. You can't say that!"
"Why? I want to know?" I don't understand why she is so flustered.
"We don't discuss those things. It is considered impolite."
"Oh. How will I learn then?" I truly was confused.
She sighed. "By watching. As we go along once we have a child you will learn all of it. There are books and holos too."
"Those are generic. You are my wife. I only need to know about you." I began to get more frustrated, but now isn't the time. "Come, let us prepare for bed." I led us down the hallway to the single bedroom. I tried to make it enticing as possible for a shuttle room. I read earth women loved pillows so I bought several in different sizes. I never would have known they had so many if not for Nessie. I was perfectly happy with my cube shaped one. I knew she liked the earth movie "Star Wars," So I added it for viewing on the monitor. I was shocked to find out it was not a comedy and that was how they previously viewed space. That and Star Tracks. Very odd but comical. The tech they used is so old but to them it was new. I guess.
She stepped in and looked around. "Its nice. Did you decorate it yourself?" She walked over to one of the paintings on the wall.
"I actually got that from earth. After the war, a man who was an artist gave me several. I was with the battalion that rescued his son. He gave me several. I took it they were very important because of how the humans acted when he gave them to me. I rather like it though. Its different." She looks in the corner where he had signed his name.
"Oh my goodness. Ryan Devoure! He is my favorite artist. He grew up in my neighborhood!" I was pleased to hear her sound excited.
"Well we have several of his paintings. Many are displayed at our abode. Like I said I don't get them all, but I like them. He stands out from other artist." I pull my shirt off as she turns to ask something. Then her face goes blank and she stares at me. For once I am glad I put in all the practice hours. I may not facially look like earth men but chest and abdomen wise, I do. And I know in that area I can compete with their best specimens. "Nessie. What were you going to say?"
"Oh". She snaps back. "Um I wanted to take a shower. Is there one here or should I go to the other bathroom?"
"Come." I take her to the corner of the room and show her how the wall slides back to reveal a purifying room. Bathroom. "Just press here whenever you need to go. I had it keyed to your dna before you came. You have access to everything. Over here is the closet. I had some clothing, earth style put aboard for you including sleepwear." I pointed to the drawers that contained her sleepwear. "This one has your underthings." I pointed to the drawer above the sleepwear.
"Thank you." She opened the draw for sleepwear. "Oh whoa this is lingerie. Not sleepwear."
"Do you not like it? I told them it was for my new bride." I was again confused.
"No, its fine. I just may need something warmer in the future. She selected a pink gown that I am most certain will look lovely against her brown skin. "Can you show me how you work the shower please?"
"Of course. We head into the purifier and I show her how the soap works and how to adjust the temperature and how we don't use towels because we have vents to instantly dry us. She liked that a lot. "Are you all set?"
"Is there shampoo or should I go get mine out of my bag?." she said shyly.
"Press here. This lets it know that its you, not me and the shampoo comes from here. It will adjust for your height. You're so tiny."
"I am not. : She huffs. "I think I've got it now though. Thank you. What are you going to do? Go back to flying the shuttle?"
"Its on autodrive. I won't be needed until its time to dock. I am going to the other purifying room to prepare for slumber as well." A cold shower should help some. Her sweet nature was really going to get to me."
I went to the other purifying room and set the shower to lukewarm. I got in and leaned against the wall and let the water run over me. Its only been a day but it seems so much longer. Her smile and laugh. Her bravery. All are things I found very enticing. I looked down at my shaft. Hard as a lurp stone. Given I didn't want to frighten my new bride, I decided to take care of it now. I thought about her as I stroked and soon enough my seed spilled out and was washed away. I sighed. This was going to be a very long and very hard night in more ways than one.
