“No. That is not what I meant.”

“Why blessed?”

“Because from that pain grows an even stronger soul.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Noah rolled over, putting his back to Mingor. “You’re just like those Jesus freaks on Earth who think suffering is some sick kind of divine right.”

“No.” Mingor cautioned himself to stop speaking. “This is why I do not speak often or use many words. It seems I am forever being misunderstood.”

Another long stretch of silence passed, making Mingor think Noah had gone back to sleep. When he spoke, it was in his soft tone that Mingor was beginning to understand was one of reconciliation.

“I guess I jumped to a conclusion without asking.” Noah rolled over onto his back and joined Mingor in staring at the ceiling. “Explain to me what you meant about my situation being a blessing.”

“You are a unique soul in the universe.”

“Just like everyone else.”

“This is so, but I am speaking of you. You are the way you are because everything that has happened to you has shaped you.”

“Everything?”

“All the good, the bad, and even the most petty of predicaments. All of it comes together to make you who you are.”

“Okay.”

“Even after Hindur’s abuse, which some would use as an excuse to be abusive in turn, you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the freedom of others. And not just any others but souls you did not know. This is astonishing.”

“It really isn’t.”

“Perhaps to you it isn’t.” Mingor rolled over so he could see Noah’s face. Tears left dried tracks on his cheeks, but that only added to his powerful allure. “To me it is amazing.”

“I wasn’t going to let that douchebag change who I am.”

“Precisely. You took what was ugly and harsh and twisted it around until it became something profoundly beautiful. That is the blessing you gained.” When Noah frowned, Mingor tried another way of expressing his idea. “Your blessing is the strong confidence of your own conviction.”

Noah’s gaze met Mingor’s. “You’re serious.”

“Yes.”

A slow grin transformed Noah’s features and destroyed the tracks of his tears. “Back to those simple one-word answers?”

“Yes.” Mingor matched his smile.

“I now see the benefit to keeping your answers short and to the point.”

“Good.”

“Oh, you are very funny.” Noah rolled over until he was right above Mingor. For a moment they were smiling at one another, but then that faded away until they were only looking at each other. “You don’t think less of me for crying, do you?”

“No.”

Noah lowered his head until they were so close that Mingor could feel the heat of his lips.

“Can I kiss you?”

“I do not know what that means.”

“I’ll show you.” Noah moved a little closer until his lips almost but not quite touched Mingor’s. “If you don’t like it, tell me to stop.”

Before Mingor could answer, Noah’s mouth was pressed against his. The contact was even more pleasurable than when they’d held hands. Mingor’s people had a different name for the same action, but he’d never understood why they were compelled to share in such a curiously intimate act. Understanding came in a shock of pleasure that he was unable to control. Unlike his time cleaning Noah, when he was able to redirect his arousal, this simple kiss overwhelmed him and his body responded by stiffening his cock.

Gently, Noah parted his lips, urging Mingor to follow suit. He didn’t think the sensation could get any better until their tongues touched. Contact made him arch into Noah and wrap his arms around him. Noah was holding himself up with his strong arms, which allowed Mingor another opportunity to explore his body. Unlike his relaxed posture in the bath, now he was straining, which flexed his muscles, making his form a hundred times more fascinating.

Deepening the kiss, Noah groaned and balanced his weight on one arm so he could cup his hand to Mingor’s face. It was a touch of curiosity, of ensuring that Mingor was willing. To show that he was, Mingor tightened his hold. The last thing he wanted was for Noah to stop. When he continued, Mingor felt emboldened. Even though he’d already touched him intimately, it felt profoundly different to do so again.

Sliding his hand across Noah’s chest, he toyed with his nipples, pleased when Noah growled softly at the back of his throat. Working his way down his chest, Mingor was doubly pleased to discover that his cock was as hard as his own. Wrapping his fist possessively around him, Mingor brought their pricks together and almost climaxed from the pleasure of their contact.

“Whoa, wait.” Despite his fearsome hold, Noah pulled back. “I think we should slow this down.”

“Why?”

Noah’s mouth opened and closed several times, but nothing came out. Mingor waited patiently, but he didn’t let go of his hold on Noah’s cock. Each passing moment allowed him to further enjoy the feel of heat and the pulse of his heartbeat.

“Okay, I can’t think straight right now, but you said you’ve never done anything with anyone, so it just seems to me we should…uh…make sure…” Noah shook his head. “Never mind. I’m going to shut up now.”

“Good.” Mingor lifted his head and pressed their mouths back together.

“Wait.”

Mingor blinked up at him.

“Have you ever climaxed?”

“No.”

“Holy shit. Really?”

“I’ve never had an erection until now.” Mingor had always had total control over his body.

Noah seemed equal amounts excited and terrified by the truth. “Then I guess it’s my duty as your
sephir
to show you how much fun we can have.”

Before Mingor could answer, Noah’s mouth was again covering his. Their tongues touched and explored as their hands held one another’s cocks. Mingor stroked Noah leisurely, just as he had in the tub, but it became evident that Noah didn’t want to repeat that particular activity.

“Let me show you something.” Noah kissed his way down Mingor’s face to his neck, where he nuzzled and teased with his mouth and teeth. Given the way he was growling and groaning, Mingor thought for a moment that Noah would bite him. Anticipation sensitized his nerves and heightened his awareness. Eventually, Noah continued his journey down Mingor’s body. He stopped briefly to examine Mingor’s chest, but when he found his nipples were unresponsive to caresses, unlike his own, Noah continued working his way down.

Mingor wasn’t certain what to expect, but when he felt Noah’s hot breath across his sensitized shaft, he rocked his hips up, ramming his cock against Noah’s mouth. Even though the touch was brief, it was shockingly good. Far better than he could have ever imagined.

Rather than anger, Noah laughed. “Whoa, cowboy. You’re not ready to ride just yet.”

Mingor had no idea what that meant, but he didn’t care. It was clear that Noah was teasing him, both literally and figuratively.

Noah placed his massive hand on Mingor’s hip, forcefully holding him down as he lowered his mouth to Mingor’s shaft. As he kissed his way up Mingor’s cock, the reason for his solid hold became clear. No matter how much Mingor struggled to rock his hips, he was held almost motionless. Somehow, the very act of being controlled by Noah’s strength was oddly arousing.

When Noah reached the tip, he opened his mouth and breathed out. The hot, moist wind of his breath was uniquely arousing. It was a touch without contact that sent Mingor’s senses reeling. He placed one hand on Noah’s back, loving the way his muscles bunched and flexed as he moved over him, performing his erotic task. The other hand he put on Noah’s head, loving the way his hair slipped through his fingers with a softness unlike anything Mingor had ever touched.

After teasing him with his breath, Noah lowered his mouth and kissed the very tip of Mingor’s cock.

He bucked up, but Noah was there to hold him down. The struggle was pleasing in and of itself. His urge to thrust had to have come from some deeply buried biological urge because it wasn’t intentional. Mingor struggled to regain control of himself but failed miserably. He became so aroused that even his breathing became ragged and untamed.

“I do not understand what is happening to me.”

“You’re getting close to orgasm.”

“How can you tell?”

“All the signs are there. Relax and let it happen.” Noah released his hold on Mingor’s hip and slid his hand down between Mingor’s legs. His target became clear when he toyed with the tight ring of flesh that guarded his rectum. Concerned that he was touching such an intimate area, Mingor tried to pull his legs together, but Noah wouldn’t remove his hand. “Don’t fight me unless it hurts.”

“I just—it is so private.”

“That’s the point.” Noah lifted his head to peer up at Mingor. “If you honestly want me to stop, I will, but if you trust me, I think you’ll find I know what I’m doing.”

“But I’m not human.”

“I know. That’s why I’m going to go very slowly and watch your reaction.” While holding his gaze, Noah teased just the tip of his finger against Mingor’s sphincter.

At first, he felt vulnerable and exposed, but the more Noah touched him without harsh insistence, the more relaxed Mingor became. What initially felt awkward and strange was now sublimely pleasurable.

“Okay?”

Unable to summon even one word in answer, Mingor nodded.

Lowering his head, Noah continued to tease Mingor’s ass while kissing the tip of his cock. Just as he’d become accustomed to the exquisite pleasure of that combination of touches, Noah opened his mouth and drew Mingor’s cock within. Mingor bucked up. To his shock, Noah was ready for him and took almost the entire length of his shaft into his mouth.

Unbidden, a cry was torn from Mingor’s mouth. He had no control over anything anymore. Initially, he struggled almost desperately to remain unmoved, but then he realized the entire point of coming together physically with another was to lose control of himself. This was a safe kind of madness. Mingor had never understood why his advisors were so determined to find and experience as much physical pleasure as they could, but now he knew. Sex was a way to release all that held him so tightly together without risking injury.

But then, as his first orgasm tumbled through his body, tightening him, shocking him, elevating him, he looked down just as Noah looked up, and he realized he wasn’t safe. Not at all. Somehow, in some way, with this very intimate act and the body-commanding pleasure it produced, Mingor had entwined himself emotionally with his
sephir
.

Noah gently released Mingor’s cock from his mouth and withdrew his probing finger from his tight little bottom. He’d only teased the outer rim, but that had been enough to make Mingor wild with lust. The sound he’d uttered when he’d climaxed had been wholly unlike anything Noah had ever heard. It was a cry of bliss, shock, and surrender. Mingor’s music had almost prompted Noah to join him, but he’d held back at the last moment. If not for Mingor’s skilled hand during his bath, he would have creamed against their bedding.

Their
bedding.

The idea of them jointly owning it was far more enjoyable than he’d thought possible. In a very short span of time, he found himself quite taken with his new master. Mingor swore he wasn’t going to lord anything over him, and Noah believed him, but thinking of him in that way given what he’d just done to him made up for all his previous misgivings about his own sex appeal. He’d not only pleased his companion, but he’d pleased a god. If that didn’t pump his ego up to near bursting, nothing would.

As he rose up to kiss his stunned lover, Noah reveled in his alien taste. Unlike a human, who seemed more salty than sweet, there was far more sugar in Mingor’s flavor. Noah had always been a man who believed a good lover swallowed, but with Mingor, it was like a reward for a job well done.

When he rose up and peered down at Mingor, he was surprised to find he had his eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping. But the more he thought about it, the more he had a surge of ego over the fact he’d rocked Mingor’s world so much he’d knocked him out.

“I have never felt anything so amazing.” Slowly, Mingor blinked, and his gaze focused on Noah. “You are surely a god among your people.”

Noah’s ego took another sharp burst of air that almost caused him to explode.

“I have never felt so energized yet relaxed.” Mingor reached up and stroked his finger over Noah’s bottom lip. “They said that only I could perform miracles, but you most certainly are magic.”

“Aw.” Noah felt himself blushing. “I’m just a humble Earthling.”

“You are my amazing
sephir
.”

Somehow, just the way Mingor said the word brought another measure of pride to Noah.

“But you are still hard.” Mingor rose up until he was sitting cross-legged on their bed.

“So I am.”

“Are you in pain?”

“No.”

“Would you like to be?”

Noah wasn’t sure what Mingor was asking him. “You want to hurt me?”

“You wish to penetrate me, don’t you?” Mingor looked from Noah’s cock down at himself and then back. “I would think it would hurt you, given how small I am, but I want to know what it’s like.” Mingor looked up until their gazes locked. “I want to feel everything.”
