“We need to get some rest,” he says, turning away to lay on his left side and hide his still-erect cock.

She turns, her breath brushing across his back, fingers treading through the fur on his shoulders.

“Tekil, it’s okay. Really.”

He feels exposed, but he knows he must be honest. Until Zeno and Vi’del can be rescued, it is just the two of them. Who knows where Andred has jaunted off to?

His cock deflates somewhat and he rolls over onto his back. Myla immediately snuggles into his side, her head laying on his chest.

“I don’t like being in this half-animal form, and I am a little self-conscious,” he confides quietly.

Her fingers continue to tread tenderly through his chest fur.

“I can see that,” she says, and pauses. “The Acradidia changed me somehow, and I’m also a little unnerved.”

“You are beautiful.”

“Thanks,” she scoffs. “To be honest, I watched you in the cave. Every time they took you, I only got glimpses from behind, even though I desperately wanted to see your face.”

“Your scent drove me insane.”

He feels her smile against his chest. “You paced constantly.”

“I wanted to rescue you.”

“And, so you did.”

“Only after you interrupted them in the lab.”

She laughs, the sound easing something coiled deep inside him.

“We can do this all night. Let’s just say it was a group effort.”

After a few seconds of silence, Tekil asks hesitantly: “Why were you angry with me?”

She’s quiet—too quiet.

“You said it was difficult to understand,” she finally replies in a small voice. “I took it as an insult.”

“I did not mean…”

“Let me finish. I haven’t explored space, never had some savvy job. I stayed home and helped my family out on the farm. My best friend was a dog named Henry. That doesn’t mean that I’m not smart. Granted, I’m not as smart as you, but I learned as much as I could! But when you say things like ‘it’s difficult to understand’, maybe I take it the wrong way, but it’s one of my insecurities.”

“I understand. I will be more careful with my words from now on.”

“It’s not your problem, Tekil, it’s mine.”

He wants to smile. Not once did he consider Myla uneducated. All he has worried about is how she sees him—as a man, or as an animal. Perhaps they both have much to overcome.

What just happened?

One minute I’m getting hot and heavy with Tekil—which is a complete turn on—and the next, he’s holding me in his arms and we’re talking about our insecurities.
