longer exploring his seed-maker, he’d stopped moving in that jerky way. She’d
focus on getting him going again. That way, hopefully, he would take over.
    He was enough taller that she didn’t see how they could come
together while standing up. Besides, usually her parents had sex in bed,
although sometimes her father took her mother from behind or her mother would
fasten herself to his hips. Thoroughly confused, she looked down. If she lay on
her back—
    “Wait,” Taurus said. “We’ll use our clothes.”

    His shirt protected her back from brush and rocks while his
slacks provided a cushion for her buttocks. As soon as he’d spread out his
clothes, she’d lain down and spread her legs because that’s what she’d seen
maidens do at Bel-fire. She wasn’t sure whether he approved because he’d again
shaken his head and muttered incredible several times, but then he’d
lowered himself between her legs, his knees pressing against her inner thighs.
    For a moment she’d felt trapped, but then he’d leaned over
her and kissed her breasts.
    He was still kissing them—occasionally taking one and then
the other nipple into his mouth and washing them with his tongue. Why he’d want
to do that was beyond her comprehension unless he didn’t think she was clean
enough, but it felt so good! Her skin where he bathed her tingled in a way she
felt all the way to her woman-place. Again she tried to comprehend how he was
going to get his organ inside her and whether she needed to do anything to help
him insert it, but she felt so alive that it was nearly impossible to think.
Soft and hot at the same time.
    When her woman’s moon-cycle had begun, her mother had shown
her how to use cloth and leaves to absorb the blood and had given her an herb
tea to take away her belly cramps. She’d complained that she didn’t like this
part of being a woman, and her mother had laughed and told her it was worth it.
Back then she’d wondered if her mother was making fun of her.
    She no longer did. Becoming a woman meant feeling alive in
ways the child she’d once been couldn’t have comprehended. Yes, she was here
because her clan needed Taurus, but so did she.
    Somewhere beyond her sight, people were singing and
clapping, and the drums seemed to be getting even louder and more urgent, but
she didn’t care. In fact, the noise added to her pleasure. Taurus had an
amazing amount of her breast in his mouth and now his hand—his hand was between
her legs.
    The moment he touched her in that fascinating place, she
felt something ooze out of her, but she didn’t think it was blood. This felt
nothing like her moon cycle, more as if her baby-place were readying itself for
him.
    She wanted—needed him inside her.
    When he used his fingers to push apart the two flaps of
flesh there, she stopped existing anywhere else. She couldn’t remember how to
breathe, and her hips didn’t want to remain on the ground. Instead, they lifted
toward him, and her legs spread even wider without her telling them to—at least
she didn’t think she had.
    His finger pushed deeper inside her to the most sensitive
place on her body, the place that so often fascinated her. It was all she could
do not to clamp her pelvis muscles around that finger so he’d keep it there
forever. Putting her own fingers up in her had been pleasurable but nothing
like this. She didn’t think a man’s hand had anything to do with making a baby
or spilling seed, but that was all right. More than all right!
    He released her breast. “You’re tight in there,” he said.
    “I am sorry.” Had she disappointed him? If only he’d tell
her what to do!
    “Sorry? Lady, a snug fit is what all men dream of.”
    That was good, wasn’t it? Eager to increase his pleasure,
she again tilted her pelvis toward him and bent her knees outward. She wished
she could see what he was doing. Much as she’d loved having him play at nursing
her, she was more interested in having
