My mind shifts suddenly to Dante, to how his hands felt on me, the way he looked above me, his cheeks flushed, his tiny nipples pebbled. I wanted to possess him in that moment, but the fear of hurting him was too great. I did not want to cause him any more pain. But in that moment, I wanted to take that tiny cock into my mouth and suck.

My cock starts to shift inside of me, and I inhale deeply.

He makes me feel like I’m close to my breeding time. He draws things from me that before were only ever instinct, and I don’t know what to do about this.

I cannot breed a human male, but I want to. I want to pin him, bite him, and fertilize an egg deep inside him.

He makes me want things I know I shouldn’t.

I cannot think of this now. There will be no relief if I become more aroused, and I’m not sure I should allow that to happen again, even if I did enjoy it. Though it seems I enjoy everything I do with Dante.

The touching, the kissing, they all felt…precious.

My cock twitches within me again.

Staring up at the ceiling, I breathe deeply to calm myself down. I cannot rut here. I cannot rut with him. I would ruin his delicate, fragile human body.

Gods, I need to get out of the house.

If I stay here, I will only think of what Dante and I did together, and I will risk pouncing on him and claiming him if he returns too soon.

Perhaps I should go to the gym. I can do as Prince Quilliyn suggested and run on the floor that goes nowhere again, or learn how to use the other equipment. They all looked very complicated and pointless, but the humans seemed to enjoy them. Perhaps it will keep me distracted and calm, the way it does for the prince.

I pull on my pink jacket and make the long walk to the gym, the cool air hitting my skin and making my skin ripple. It will be hard to grow used to the cold, dry air here. In Erethar, it is warmer, the coolness of rain only coming when the cyrathis clouds form.

Here it seems to be wet all the time, and there is snow. It is melting now, but it is something I do not particularly enjoy. I would rather be warm and basking in the sun.

When I enter the warm gym, I find happiness. I know I should reject it, but it is getting harder and harder to deny myself. I am growing weaker the longer I am away from my people.

I’m starting to feel more…human.

But is that a bad thing?

I cannot think of it too long while here, so instead, I let my gaze roam around the gym, looking for a familiar face. Perhaps someone will have words of advice for me.

Only, there is no one I recognize.

My ears droop, and my tail curls around me tightly. I suddenly feel out of place, like I don’t belong. I can feel eyes on me, which makes my hearts beat faster in my chest. I wonder if I should just leave, but before I can, a voice stops me. A girl behind the desk appears, dots across her nose like Luca’s, her lips a dark pink.

“Hey,” she says softly with a kind smile. “Can I help you?”

I open my mouth and then close it again. I wish I could speak human languages better. I wish I could communicate, but both Dante and Luca told me that even with signed languages, only a small number of humans know them.

“Can you speak English?”

I think about attempting to, but it will only frustrate both of us, so I shake my head.

“Oh, hey, no worries. Um…” She taps her lips, and then her blue eyes meet mine. “You have a card to scan you in?”

A card? I have never needed one before. I do not even know what this is.

She must sense my confusion because she just shrugs. “Hold on. Let me look you up in the system. I’ve seen you before. I’m sure you’re in here.” Her fingers fly across the keyboard, and then she glances up again. “Okay. Can you tell me your name?”

That I can do. “Cielo.”

“Oh, very cool. Um. How do you spell that?”

I glance down and then hold up my hand, fingerspelling it for her as I hope that she can understand.
