KYRA
Things have been going incredibly smoothly for me just as predicted. For the last couple of weeks, Zy and I have been meeting up almost every night, hooking up at his place. We’ve been sleeping with each other for long enough now that I’m sure I’ll get pregnant very soon. On top of that, the sex has been nothing short of mind blowing, a little bonus of sorts.
But it hasn’t just been sex. Without planning for it, Zy and I often get lost in conversation both before and after the fact. I cannot deny how fascinating he is as a person. Thus far, this plan has carried out far more pleasantly than I expected.
It was never supposed to become personal. All I needed was someone to impregnate me so I could get the fuck away from Mosar. I’ve never met anyone quite as interested in my life as Zy is, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy his company.
It makes the constant internal reminders not to let him get too close a little jarring. It must be done. I still have a contract to get out of before anything else. Still, I relish the time I spend with Zy, it certainly beats being bossed around by Mosar.
Fuck, he even feeds me better than my boss. I’ve noticed my body becoming fuller, reinvigorated with strength ever since we started seeing one another. Even now as he walks me home I’m chowing down on dripir meat.
“Thanks for this,” I say to him. “And for tonight too. I’ve really been enjoying this time together, Zy.”
“Me too. I’ll catch you tomorrow down at the tavern then?” he asks.
“I’ll see you there.”
I pull him down for a kiss before parting from him. He waves as I disappear around a corner. Mosar’s house is still a bit away, I’ve been insistent on heading alone so that he does not see Zy.
I climb in the window and tiptoe past Mosar’s room. From it, I hear muffled snoring. I sneak into my room, being ghost quiet as I close the door behind me. Climbing under the blankets, I let out a long and heavy sigh as tiredness begins taking me.
I toss and turn in the sheets, becoming ensnared by the bed’s warmth. Behind closed eyes, Zy’s face is all I see. Just before I slip into slumber, I realize he’s barely been off of my mind since the night we met. So comes another internal reminder of my plan, that I’m in this for me and me only. He’s the last thing I think of before my world turns to black.

The next night,I’m walking with a skip in my step as I open the doors to the tavern. Stepping inside, I’m greeted by the cozy glow of the lamps and candles and the aroma of ale lingering in the air. I wave to Nova as I approach the bar, taking a stool at the counter.
“How goes things with Zykhus?” she asks, bringing me some water.
“Zy? He’s been great,” I reply, casting a glance over my shoulder at the door. “I’ve never met a minotaur quite as chilled as him.”
“Yeah? That’s good. Say, there’s something about you that’s different recently Kyra.”
“What might that be?” I ask.
“You’re looking a lot healthier. Your skin’s glowing and you’ve got a bit more muscle to your body.”
“I do? Well, I owe that to Zy as well. He’s been feeding me a lot.”
“I bet he does,” she quips with a sly smirk.
“Nova!” I laugh, hitting her elbow. “Yes, obviously we’ve been having a lot of sex but he looks after me too. Because of him, I’m having proper meals. He’s…”
My voice trails off for a moment as I’m almost overwhelmed by Zy’s treatment of me.
“He’s nice. He always asks me personal questions that no else ever has. It’s nice to have someone to talk to like that.”
“Sounds to me like someone is really into him.”
Snapping back to reality, I dart my gaze to Nova. She looks at me with one eyebrow raised as if she’s caught me red-handed doing something I shouldn’t.
“Well uhm, I mean… Just for the plan, you know? I’m just glad he’s a nice person, I’d rather that than let some prick put their dick inside me.”
Nova leans down, resting her elbows on the bar.
“Are you sure it’s just that Kyra? It’s just that you’re talking about him a particular way, and you’re here a bit earlier than usual. On top of that, you keep looking back at the door for him. Is there something else at play here?”
There couldn’t be… right?
