It was cool to his careful touch. There were couches, chairs, a small table, a cupboard, and even an oversized bathtub. A pleasant smell rose from the different small bowls filled with dried flowers. The light was dim, almost like sunset, and his eyes still saw every detail clearly.<\/p>\n<p>Ferris smiled bashfully. The scientist had quite a taste.<\/p>\n<p>Mysan entered, closed the door behind her, and exhaled with pure bliss. She smiled, so satisfied to have come here that she did not know what to say.<\/p>\n<p>All thoughts, including his mind, reason, and twenty-five years of experience as a man, vanished from Ferris&#8217;s brain. He almost forgot to breathe and could not help but gape at Mysan. He had judged her a beauty upon first sight, but in a nice nothing of underwear, all lace and black and half transparent like a thin cloud, she took his breath away and made his knees buckle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou look\u2026surprised.\u201d Her husky voice was too much.<\/p>\n<p>Ferris took a quavering breath and slowly shook his head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou mean you&#8217;re appalled at my ugliness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, but no, I\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust kidding.\u201d She got closer. She had looked forward to that moment and chosen her outfit deliberately to stun him. How wonderfully it worked! Mysan put her hands on his shoulders and stole a kiss from his still parted lips. He felt so warm and smooth under her fingers it was amazing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAm I allowed to touch you?\u201d The number of hormones outmatched that of his red blood cells at the moment, and his bashed brains spun with images of having sex in thousand varieties. \u201cThey told us\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know. However, allowed is what we want. And I allow you to touch me where you want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Given so much freedom suddenly, Ferris got the impression of walking a whole moon whereas they had allowed him only a small island before. Shivering with expectation, he ran his fingers along her shoulders and arms, her flat belly and ribcage. He looked in her eyes, as she got closer for another, more intimate kiss. He put his hands on her buttocks and kneaded her. It was an overwhelming stimulation. He panted. \u201cI never thought it to be like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe, too.\u201d Mysan devoured him with her kisses, then slowly, deliberately, let her hands travel down his neck and spine. \u201cHum, just like I thought it would be.\u201d She nipped his lower lip, smiling impishly. \u201cYou&#8217;re so good to touch, Ferris.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t even know your real name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know all you need to know.\u201d Mysan gave his balls a soft squeeze that left him gasping. \u201cOn the bed, man from Ryk.\u201d She directed him backward until he sat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did you put these\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSshh.\u201d Mysan gently urged him to lie down, kissing, and fondling him. She pushed his arms up on the covers. A soft humming emerged from under the covers, and suddenly Ferris&#8217;s arms and legs were drawn and the metal bracelets clanked. Ferris tried to pull his arms down, but could not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo! Don&#8217;t tie me up! No!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe calm, Ferris.\u201d Mysan caressed his face with her hands. \u201cI will do you no harm. Just relax.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut\u2026why?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s just a game.\u201d She cut off his rebuke by placing a finger on his lips. \u201cYou&#8217;ll love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchase Link:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.extasybooks.com\/ann-raina\/living-for-the-act-1\/\">http:\/\/www.extasybooks.com\/ann-raina\/living-for-the-act-1\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Author Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ann.raina.7\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ann.raina.7<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/Living-Act-book-1-English-ebook\/dp\/B003XRF1EC\">https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/Living-Act-book-1-English-ebook\/dp\/B003XRF1EC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-share-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-via=\"compbeastsblog\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Living for the Act (Book One of Three) Author: Ann Raina Blurb: On the verge of extinction after a long war, the women of Raskayen take the only chance to enlarge their population&#8211;they capture men from other worlds to use them in closed facilities.
