Captain's Choice: A Romance Read Online Free PDF

“So they’ll be naked too?”
         “Of course, my love, you are being silly.”  He leaned in chuckling and shaking his head, “are you not the same woman who brazenly made love to me so passionately in the hospital wing?”
         Yeah, well, that would be me, she thought.
         “And now you’re bashful?” He kissed her forehead. “Get undressed. I’ve seen everything already, I’ve experienced everything already.” He stared, “I wouldn’t mind experiencing it all again.”
         Still she stood there.
         He shook his head and laughing turned his back to her.
         She supposed it was stupid to be so self-conscious, but to her it felt like the first time she would be naked in front of him. Jillian slipped off her jumpsuit.
         Without looking back he put out a hand for her and led her down the bank.
         The water was warm and felt like silk against her skin. When she was in up to her shoulders he turned and smiled at her. She loved his smile and returned it. They swam circles around each other.
         “Why do I get the feeling you’re trying to escape me?” Tae asked in a friendly way, but Jillian could tell he was hurt.
          She stayed still. “I’m sorry, it’s just-”
         “Shh, I know.”  Standing waist deep in water he placed his arms gently around her drawing her to him. His lips were soft and tasted like honey, a kiss sweet and tender; involuntarily she leaned in to him.
         “There he is!”
         Jillian turned to see where the voice had come from and saw two couples had arrived smiling and waving. Oh, crap she thought. Surprised and embarrassed Jillian dove into the deeper end. When she came up Tae’s eyes were filled with amusement.  He stepped out of the water and without any embarrassment at all, hugged the two women and shook hands with the men. All of them were obviously Tae’s friends and it was also apparent by their shy glances towards her that they wanted to meet her.
         Double crap.
         Tae whispered something to them and all four stripped down, apparently he thought if they were all naked too, she would be less self-conscious, but no, this wasn’t working for her either. She could certainly be a wild woman in the bedroom, but this situation was very different. Jillian caught his gaze and sensed how important this was for him. I’ve had to be braver in worse circumstances than this, she thought, mustering her courage she stepped out of the water.
         Even though Jillian was embarrassed she attempted to act normal and not stare. The faces of the females had more refined features and were quite beautiful, and although she tried not to look, she couldn’t help but notice their amazing bodies. The features of Antareans having grown on her, she found the men attractive too.
         Tae introduced Jillian to the first woman, named Nahi, who gave her a shy hello then came forward and hugged her. The other woman did the same. Needless to say it was a bit disconcerting to Jillian. When the first man came forward she was a little prepared, but it was still weird to hug a naked man she’d just met. The last man, whose name was Jahae hugged her hard and close and kissed her cheek. For Jillian, it was difficult to figure out what was inappropriate and what wasn’t.
         Tae and Jillian and the first couple sat on the blanket sharing wine and talking. It was certainly strange just sitting around nude, but the company was pleasant. Jillian started to get used to it or the wine was affecting her, she wasn’t sure which.
         The other couple had disappeared behind some bushes and Jillian wondered what they were doing. There was some noise, but no one on the blanket, except her, seemed to take notice. Jillian tried to follow the conversation, but her attention kept being diverted to the noises behind the bushes. She finally leaned over and saw the couple in missionary position going at it
