Fics like landslide

“I guess, um,” I say, licking my lips as I stall. When did my mouth get so dry? “I don’t know why, don’t ask me why, but… you’re… obviously a lot stronger than me, and I guess that… activated some part of my brain that’s… into that, I guess.” I wring my hands, fussing with the arms of my jumpsuit tied around my waist- anything to avoid looking up at Rocky. “It’s just… been a long time since I’ve, uh. Mated with anyone, on Earth, and I think I’ve just been a bit- frustrated, so my body’s just reacting to whatever it can. Don't- don’t get me wrong, I know it probably doesn’t make a lot of sense, I mean- you could literally crush me if you wanted to, but- for some reason, I… I guess it was just… exciting. To me.” I finish lamely. Rocky stares at me, as much as a being with no eyes and 360 degrees of echolocation ability can stare. I am acutely aware that he can hear every beat of my heart, every hitched breath. He can probably sense the pinpricks of sweat that bead on my forehead. I swallow, my heart hammering in my chest at the silence. Rocky finally tilts his carapace ever so slightly. “You are aroused by strength in mate, question?”
