- Sprisk -

Cora’s bright, happy laughter suddenly turns to sobs, then new peals of laughter.

I quickly wade up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. “What? Are you hurt?”

“No,” she sniffles. “It’s just… I’m laughing!”

I carefully embrace her. “Umm. You were laughing, I think. Now what you’re doing is something different.”

“Is first time I laugh on Xren,” she says with a strange half-sob, half-laugh. “Not laugh before. For years not smile, not laugh. Now…” she wipes tears and creek water from her face. “Now laugh. Because of you.”

I glare back at that cursed root that snapped. “It was not on purpose. Those roots are treacherous.”

She chuckles through tears. “That sound you made…”

“I was surprised,” I growl, feigning anger. “I usually don’t fall.”

She laughs. “It’s fine. I like when you fall. Please fall more.”

“We’ll see,” I grunt as I reach up and touch a root hanging over us. “I hope I won’t fall more today. And if I do, I’ll make sure to be quiet.”

“It made laugh,” Cora says, wiping more moisture. “But only can laugh because safe. Because safe and happy. Because you make safe and happy. And make laugh.”

“Oh. That’s what you meant.” Her words ignite the old warmth in me. I did make her safe. She sees that now.

Her soft stomach strokes against my hard cock. “Sprisk.”

“What?”

She looks up at me with a glassiness in her eyes. “ Fuk mi.”

I nod slowly. “Hmm. Now, those are alien words, yes? What do they mean?”

She presses her stomach against my rod. “Mate with me. Now.”

The breath catches in my throat. “That’s what it means?”

“‘ Fuk mi’ means ‘mate with me’. Now, Sprisk. I want it.” One of her hands goes to the head of my cock, while the other squeezes my butt.

But this is not the place. “Come on.” I take her hand and lift her out of the creek’s channel, then lead her to the tree. Inside I don’t want her to have to climb, so I lift her in my arms and climb to the best spot and the best, most comfortable net.

My mind is all foggy, and of course I know that this is likely a dream. But if so, I’ll let it play out to its fullest. And if not… Merciful stars, is this really happening? I’m about to Mate with Cora?

I put her down in the net, and she moans deeply as she gets comfortable. Her legs hang over the edge, presenting her body perfectly for me.

I bend down over her and kiss her full, sweet lips.
