Kyris: A Sci-fi Alien Abduction Romance (Captured by Aliens Book 4) A.G. Wilde (readict txt) 📖

Oh God...he’d pulled her trousers over her butt. He’d seen it.

If ever there was a time for her to die, now would be it.

Yet, as she looked at his face, there was no disgust there. No revulsion.

Only concern.

Confusion and pure concern.

“I don’t understand.” His gaze was focused between her thighs now and Song crossed her legs.

“Doesn’t...doesn’t this happen to females where you’re from?”

The confusion didn’t leave his eyes. “Doesn’t what happen?”

How should she explain it?

It was clear he had no idea what she was talking about.

“Their period...”

A slight frown knitted his brow. “Their time?”

“Yes.” Good. Maybe he did understand. “Human females have a certain time of the month…”

He blinked a few times, brows still knitted. “Males from my planet have the same amount of time as the females do...”

Okay, so maybe he didn’t understand.

A sigh shuddered through her shoulders just before another cramp hit, causing her to squeeze her eyes shut and scream with her mouth closed.

He was holding her then, his hands grasping her shoulders firmly as he crouched over her.

“Song!” His voice sounded worried, almost frantic. “Let me help. How can I help?”

She was shaking her head before the pain left and when she finally opened her eyes to meet his violet gaze, she realized that he was close. So close.

And he looked terrified.

An embarrassed chuckle left her lips and it only served to confuse him more. She could see it play across his face as bewilderment flooded his features.

“I’m not sure you can help me.” Though she wished there was some way he could. Being female right now was a bit of a curse.

Well, being a human female was. As far as it looked, females from his planet didn’t have to go through this.

Lucky. Them.

“I can help...I will. Whatever you need me to do. I will do it.”

Seeing him so bewildered tugged at her heart a little. He was obviously concerned and not providing him with an explanation was a tad heartless.

“It’s my period. I get it every month. Every month I bleed and with it comes pain.”

The confusion didn’t leave his eyes. “You...bleed with pain every month?”

When she nodded, he continued, “And this is normal?”

When she nodded again, he went silent.

Her gaze fell back to her crossed legs and she bit back a groan as another cramp rocked her insides. She couldn’t face his gaze as embarrassment flooded through her.

But as the silence became unbearable, she chanced a glance in his direction only to find the same expression on his face.

Confusion...and something else...something that looked curiously like helplessness.

“Why? Why does this happen?”

Because her uterus was an evil bitch that went raging once a month? Because the universe hated her? Because life couldn’t just be simple?

She couldn’t use any of those answers. The truth would have to do.

“It happens to get my body ready for...”

Should she even say it? But the look on his face forced her to continue. He was genuinely confused. He seriously wanted her to explain.

“If a human woman doesn’t get pregnant, this happens. Usually, it happens every month…unless the woman gets pregnant.” And some women even bled through their pregnancies…and then there was also menopause—but he didn’t need to learn the intricacies of it all.

As another cramp stiffened her stomach muscles, she watched as understanding slowly dawned over Kyris’ features.

He was looking at her now with an expression she didn’t recognize.

A month ago, if someone had told her she’d be teaching female biology to a winged alien, she’d have thought they were talking about some foreign mosquito who’d come to suck her blood.

She couldn’t have anticipated this.

“You...bleed if you’re not…mated?”

Mated? The way he said the word made her cheeks flush.

Mated sounded like “fucked” and that was not what she’d meant at all. Sex doesn’t stop it from happening. If he were human, he’d know that. But he wasn’t human so…

She opened her mouth to correct him but decided not to.

It didn’t matter. He didn’t need to know the details of it all. A mild understanding was enough. Plus, the more they discussed it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

He was a man…well, a male, after all.

She found it strange even discussing Aunt Flo with female friends.

When she didn’t respond, Kyris continued. “The pain goes away if you are mated?”

Song’s eyes widened as the sentence automatically translated to something else in her head.

Does the pain go away if you’re fucked?

No, it didn’t.

But if she said yes, was he offering? Would he fuck her if she said yes?

Her cheeks were flaming now and she knew she needed to answer him. But with the direction her train of thought had gone, discussing it further made her, well, mortified.

Still, she pressed on. “No. It’s not that simple.”

His tone was laden with interest and…something else. And that something else made her cheeks flame harder.

“Look, can—can we discuss this some other time?” She squirmed. Possibly, like, never ever again?

He seemed to shift uncomfortably and she noticed a sort of shiver run through the wings along his back.

“As you wish.” His voice was a deep rumble as he regarded her, all golden blond and violet eyes and looking like a snack she couldn’t eat.

Damn.

Had being abducted by aliens made her hornier than usual or was it that she had really, really hit her head badly?

Her thoughts were never this forward before.

But then again, she’d never been put in a situation like this before. There was no one to judge her. No societal expectations.

There was only Kyris.

“What do human females’ mates do when this...period...is happening?”

There was that ‘mate’ word again.

Why did it seem so…dirty?

When he said ‘mate’ all she could think of was…sex.

Hot. Dirty. Sex.

“Do they also have a time?” He squinted his eyes as if he was trying to imagine it and it almost made her laugh.

The fact that he was interchanging the word ‘time’ with ‘period’ was also funny. But she had to wait to answer as another cramp rocked through her.

He was gripping her hands as she squeezed her eyes tight and tried not to let on just how
