Chocolate Rewards: The Sweetness of Two Worlds Colliding Together by Rachel Burns Page B

lucky to get to share his life with her.
    Her lips
parted slightly in a sigh.
    Rokai
took that chance to slowly caress the inside of her mouth. His tongue
felt its way around. He noted her tiny sharp teeth, her sweet yet
strong tongue and the sides of her mouth, which were completely soft.
    Rokai
assumed that she was still too ill for them seal the bond by making
love, but this was a tiny start, a moment that would bring them
physically closer to one another.
    He cupped
her jawbone in his hand. She fit into it so perfectly. She wasn't
trying to avoid his kisses. On the contrary, she was rising up and
attempting to move in closer to him. Rokai wrapped his free arm
around her back and lifted her closer to his heart.
    Amber
also wrapped an arm around his neck and laid a hand on the side of
his face. They were so close to each other that it felt as if their
hearts were beating as one.
    Amber
peeked to see if Zufu was watching them. She couldn't spot the woman
anywhere. She must have discreetly left them, so they could be alone
for their first kiss.
    Amber
pulled away from Rokai so that they were a mere inch apart. “I
should hate you.” She wasn't a schoolgirl getting her first kiss at
recess. She was a slave being kissed by her master.
    Rokai
gasped surprised at her words. “No, don't say that.” He stroked
his fingertips along the side of her face.
    “ You
took everything I had away from me, so you could selfishly have a
woman of your own. That left me with nothing. The thing I don't
understand is, why don't I hate you? Why do I get such a sad feeling
when you leave the room? It seems like an immeasurable amount of time
until you return, but when you do I can breathe deeply and relax
again.”
    “ Believe
me when I say, I feel the exact same way. Sometimes it happens
between a master and slave. This is a need they have to be together.
I will not leave your side for the rest of my life. We are bound to
one another. We might even have a child together.”
    “ You
say that like its something special. Most people have children, a
couple of children even.”
    “ Your
Earth is indeed a very special place. Not only do you have a
population that has the same amount of females as males, but they
must love each other very much to bring forth such large amounts of
children.”
    “ I
wouldn't go so far as to say that they are all love-children.”
    “ Nonsense,
where there is no love, there can be no child.”
    Amber
thought about that. It sounded like he was saying that lack of love
was like birth control. That couldn't be right.
    “ A
couple can make love without being in love, and the woman can get
pregnant,” she explained.
    Rokai
smirked at her. “Whoever gave you such a silly notion? A man gives
a woman his seed, planting it in her womb. Both parents have to love
one another very much. Only then will that seed grow. Without love
the child would perish.”
    “ I wish
you were right.” Amber felt that it was a naïve notion, but one
that someone had taken the time to teach him. He was like a little
kid who still believed in Santa Claus.
    Should
she be the one to burst his bubble?
    She
remembered being down at the beach, collecting seashells with her mom
to decorate the table for Christmas. She had suggested that they lay
the prettiest shells around the plate of cookies that they left out
for Santa.
    An older
boy heard her and laughed, proclaiming loudly to his friends that she
was a baby who still believed in Santa Claus. Her mother had scolded
him for ruining Christmas for Amber, thus confirming his words.
    There was
no Santa Claus, no tooth fairy, and a man and a woman didn't need to
love each other to make a baby.
    Amber
decided that was the way that things should be. “I'm sure you are
right. I don't know anything about – making love.” If she every
got pregnant by him then she would want him to love their baby and be
kind to it.
    “ We
will learn all about it together. I expect that we will have a child
before
