“Look,” I said.
My human glanced up and gasped. “Oh!”
The rainbow was a rare natural wonder. But when my human’s eyes lit up with amazement, they were the only things I wanted to stare into. While he observed the rainbow, I beheld him: the object of all my desires. My mate. My filum.
My perfect little human.
“It’s really beautiful,” he said quietly.
Without breaking my stare, I replied, “As are you.”
He snorted, but it did not dim his shining gaze. Eventually his gaze slid from the rainbow to me.
“Um…” His cheeks pushed up his eyes as he smiled. “I love you.”
“And I love you.”
“Should we, like, kiss under the rainbow? Is that too tacky?”
I was aware of the human concept of a kiss but had never had the pleasure of indulging my curiosity. Until now.
Grinning, I lowered my face to meet his halfway. “I do not care if it is tacky. I am going to kiss you beneath the rainbow now.”
He chuckled. “Wait, do you even know how?”
“Does it involve me parting my jaws and placing my entire mouth over your head?” I teased.
He laughed louder. “No! Don’t eat my head! Here, do it like this.”
I experienced a moment of pure bliss as my fantasies came to life.
My human grasped the sides of my face and pulled me closer. His eyes fluttered shut as he angled his head to one side andparted his lips. I paid close attention as his tongue darted out, dragging a soft wet line along my mouth.
It sent me into an instant state of desire.
“Like that,” he said hoarsely as he pulled away. His cheeks were flushed, and his hair was slightly puffed up from the humidity. I wanted to ravage him right there in the middle of the village.
“I will try now,” I said, then dove in for a second round. My tongue was longer and stronger than his, so I restrained myself from shoving the entire thing down his throat. Instead, I gently licked along his plush lips with the tip of my tongue. I knew I was doing a decent job by the way he whimpered and moaned. Those sounds ignited my own lust, which now smoldered below my belly.
He pulled away first, sucking in deep gulps of air. “Um. Wow. You’re really good at that.” He squinted suspiciously. “Are you sure you’ve never kissed another human before?”
His jealous comment startled me. I barked out a laugh.
“Absolutely not,” I assured him. “You are the only human for me, and you are mine.” I gripped him harder. “Forever.”
He relaxed into my possessive grasp, and his mouth sloped into a grin. “Okay, good.”
I was seized by the temptation to kiss him again, and so I did. We kissed beneath the rainbow, basking in each other’s warmth, presence and love. When I stopped, it was only out of necessity. I would have no choice but to fuck him on the spot if we continued.
“Ze’farr,” I said.
My human blinked. The meaning seemed to dawn on him. “Is that… what you’re naming me?”
“Only if you approve.”
A slow smile spread across his face. “Is that the Maeleon word for rainbow?”
“Nothing so serendipitous,” I replied with a chuckle. “It is part of your original name, and part of mine. Because youaremine. And I do not want anybody to forget that.”
