Page 55 of Choosing Her Alpha
Lilla said, "The queen will be here in a couple of hours!" Her subdued mood fell away with this grand excitement. "You need to get yourself together."
"It's time for the works." Lanny waved her hands around Sasha. "The whole pie today, my dear. This is the queen. That armpit hair must go, not just shaved. Gone!"
"And all the other little hairs," Lilla agreed with relish.
"The queen doesn't care about my little hairs." Sasha protested.
Lanny disagreed. Strenuously. She gave the pretty dress to Lilla and motioned to a basket full of stuff. "Davila raided the girl bathing room for us. She said you like sparkles. I'm okay with sparkles, just not every color at the same time."
Sasha smiled. It was the first one of the day, inspired by the look in Kane's eyes and that little curve of his mouth when he inspected the different lotions she had rubbed all over her body.
And then she gave a little gasp at the pleasant jab of pleasure that kicked her right in the apex of her thighs, leaving her dripping.
The twins couldn't help but notice. "Did you just... mini-orgasm?" Lilla asked.
Damn that male. Her reflection in the room’s big mirror showed a blush spreading from the top of her head all the way to her chest.
"What brought that on?" Lilla pressed.
Sasha shook her head. "So, what lotions are in there? Anything but vanilla."
"Aww, that’s my favorite," Lanny whined. "She picked out warm scents and lotions, mainly. There's stuff for every part of your body. Wow, look at these."
Lanny held up prettily shaped bottles and jars. "When do we get to see this girls’ bathing room? Davila said it has everything from the best breed and drone shops in every sector."
Sasha shook her head. "As far as I know, there is only one way into that bathing room, and I'd rather avoid it for now."
"Because of the harem?" Lilla smiled knowingly.
Sasha gave her a look and sniffed the air. What was her friend up to? She wasn't making fun of Sasha not wanting to deal with Kane's women. Instead, the twinkle in her eyes implied something entirely different.
Lilla looked at Lanny. "Do we tell her?"
"Well, she kept secrets from us..." Lanny trailed off, one last rebuke for putting her and her sister through that frightening experience without any warning.
Sasha took a threatening step forward. "You had better tell me everything. What's going on?" She didn't have the energy for games.
"You’re no fun. Get on the table so we can get to the fuzz removal. Then we will tell you what was happening while you were sleeping."
Sasha begrudgingly adjusted her towel and climbed up on the padded table. She hadn't known what it was for or why it would be in Kane's bathing room. It seemed like an odd place for a bed like structure.
It was Lanny who piped up with the information that it was a massage table, which set Sasha to daydreaming about Kane's muscles and how she wanted to massage them.
Although Kane had taken off his shirt to give her his own, and she had hazy memories of the satin warmth of Kane's naked chest, she really hadn't seen him. He had gotten to see and touch her, with his devastating whisper touches and soapy cloth, but he denied her the same chance.
Sasha wanted her chance.
She moaned thinking of it.
"Fuck, girl. What are you thinking about?" Lanny laughed. She handed Sasha a damp washcloth. "Clean yourself up and stop it. I'm not gonna wax you down there if you're doing that. Everyone always said you were this special kind of woman and we knew you could do some odd things, but this? I don't know what to call this."
Embarrassed again, but giggling at Lanny's sarcasm, Sasha used the washcloth to clean herself. "This is all involuntary. I can't help it. But at least it's because of…"
She stopped herself. They knew she had feelings for Kane, but Sasha didn't want to examine all of that. He was holding himself back, keeping himself from her. She hated it. But she wouldn't be declaring him her bonded, or her mate, or even her friend until she knew where he stood.
"At least it's not some stranger I don't know making me wet all over myself. That was... that was horrible."
"That can happen?" Lilla's eyes were wide.
