I
felt water pouring into my mouth.
“Drink, female!” Terrek pleaded in a soft, deep tone. I sat up, spitting out a mouthful of water.
“Woah, what the hell!” I choked out.
Being waterboarded awake was a shock. I opened my eyes
and felt my head zap with dizziness. It took me a minute to focus on my vision. We were in a cave, and it was dark, lit only by a small fire. I was sitting on a bed made of furs. I saw Terrek kneeling before me, waving my pink water bottle at me.
“Give me a minute.” I had held up my hand to stop him from pestering me.
“Thank the Gods, I was worried if you did not get substances, you would perish.” The man was concerned.
Confused, I sat up and looked around.
“What is that awful smell?” I mumbled as I saw Candy chowing down on a pile of fish.
“Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!” I said, shocked that he looked twice the size he was the last time I saw my fur baby friend.
Candy stopped eating when he noticed me. Candy happily bounced up to me, knocking me back down on my fur bed. He started to purr and licked my face enthusiastically.
“Ewe, fish breath. Yeah, yeah, I love you too.” I giggled.
I had pushed the medium dog-sized cotton candy ball off me. I was patting him on his head, his fur not as puffy anymore. I began petting his big rabbit-like ears. He was transforming into a predator-looking beast. I was beginning to see why Terrek would be scared of Candy. Not me, though. I felt nothing but a sense of family and affection from Candy.
“Go finish your dinner. Gross.” I had encouraged as I wiped Candy’s drool off my cheek.
“How long was I asleep for?” I asked, feeling dazed by Candy being so big.
“What is your name, female?”
Terrek asked, shoving my water bottle at me. I grabbed the water and took a long swig of it. I was looking at Terrek staring at me with his sexy black eyes.
I wiped my mouth and smiled.
“Darah Davis, it’s nice to meet you, Terrek.” I reached out my right hand to shake Terrek’s hand.
He gently placed his giant hand on mine. He held onto my hand longer than a handshake required and said.
“Darah Davis.” In a low, sexy purr that made my whole body react to him. His nostrils flared, and hunger bled into his black eyes.
I wanted to kiss his lips to see how it would feel. When suddenly, hunger pains cramped my gut, and all I could think about was food.
How long was I asleep?» I groaned.
“Two rotations,” Terrek said with concern.
Here, eat this.» He handed me a wooden bowl of fishy soup.
“Thanks.” I took the bowl so hungry I didn’t care that it looked and smelled disgusting.
I drank the soup, trying not to gag. I held my nose shut, hoping it would help, but it didn’t.
“I am sorry, but that was disgusting,” I complained. Terrek laughed.
“I know, however, Prill fish is the only meat source available on the planet. The Kanenites have harvested all our sustainability.”
