Aliena Read Online Free PDF

amorous. I wonder.”
    “Wonder?”
    “How you would react to a love stroke.”
    “Do that.”
    “It was just a passing notion. I don’t think that would be proper to actually do.”
    “Please. I want to know.”
    “Well, I could kiss your bare breasts. But this is something that should not--”
    He broke off, because she was unsnapping her bra, exposing her beautiful breasts.
    “All right, Aliena. But tell me to stop the moment you feel at all uncomfortable. Sit on the couch.”
    She sat, and he kneeled before her. He kissed the evocative fullness of her left breast. His passion soared, but he battened it down. This was science, not sex.
    “Oh!” she cried, flinching away.
    “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to--”
    “I was surprised, not pained. Do it again.”
    “You’re sure?”
    “I felt something different. Odd. I want to define it. I will not retreat again.”
    So he approached her and kissed her breast again. She remained still until he reached the nipple and licked it. Then she burst out laughing. She grabbed his head and mashed his face against the breast.
    Then they both paused. “You laughed!” he said as she released his head.
    “I laughed,” she agreed. “It was ticklish.”
    “I think we have proved the case. Your tickle and love stroke reflexes are reversed.”
    She nodded. “You would want to mate, and I would laugh.”
    “That would be awkward, yes.” He stood.
    She put her shirt back on. “I must change that.”
    “You forgot your bra.”
    “I did not forget. I want to try another time, soon, the tickle and the kiss, to get them straight. I think there was a little tickle in the tickle, and mating in the kiss. Not enough.”
    “Aliena, it may not be safe to try it again. Your bare breasts are one hell of a turn on.”
    “But your tickle turns me on. That is not safe either.”
    Brom pondered it. Probably it would be better for her to react sexually only to sexual stimuli, not to others. She did need to zero in her reflexes, if she could. He should have the self control to help her without molesting her. “We can try it.”
    “Thank you.”
    He changed the subject. “Maybe we should shop for supplies. This seems to be a prolonged siege.”
    “Shop?”
    And she had never been shopping? “I’ll show you. We’ll take the car. There should be somewhere with its own power generator.”
    Riding in a car was evidently another new experience for Aliena. Had they drugged her to bring her to the house? He preferred not to inquire. He instructed her about using the seat belt, and explained what he was doing as he put it in Drive and slowly pulled out onto the street.
    They had to go some distance before he spied an active supermarket. He parked in the lot, and they walked to the store. It was quite busy; many other people, stranded without power, had the same idea.
    Alien’s amazement was plain as they entered the store and walked along its aisles. At last that connection was correct. “I have not seen a place like this.”
    “It’s a standard supermarket. Next time ask Martha to take you along when she shops for groceries.”
    “I will do this.”
    He bought bread, cheese, milk, and crackers: things that needed neither cooking nor refrigeration. He paid for them with cash. He saw Aliena looking, and knew there was more explaining to do, about the monetary system.
    They returned to the car, and he put his bag in back.
    “I can do this,” Aliena said.
    “Do what?”
    “Drive the car.”
    He remembered when a quick study she had been on reading words. He made a spot and probably foolish decision. “Do it. But be very careful; a car is dangerous when mishandled.”
    She got into the driver’s seat and buckled up. He gave her the key, and she used it correctly. “The car will go forward, but the way is not clear,” she said.
    He explained how to get Reverse. She did it, and eased the car out of the parking slot. Then she put it in Drive and drove forward. Sure enough, she had
