At the mention of humans and their softness, I think of Maya. No doubt she is waiting for my return to the private quarters.

Oddly enough, I look forward to spending time with her this evening. I decide then and there that I’ve indulged appropriately in the conversation and excuse myself from it.

It’s the end of a long day at work, and right now I need the company of Maya to unwind, not the brooding violence of my fellow naga.

Soon, I am unlocking the door to my quarters and stepping inside to see Maya resting by the window. It is open, a sight that induces concern in me, considering the steep drop to the ground below.

Maya closes it before I can say anything and then turns to greet me. She has a strained look on her face. She wears a smile on her lips, but her eyes are frowning.

Does she have something to hide from me?

“Let me get washed up, and I will join you for dinner,” I say.

Sometime later, Maya and I are seated at the table. The servants have just finished serving us a portion of dripir and pour us a cup of rirzed tea before leaving.

A bottle of paquir and an unlit candle are in the middle of the table. Ever since I arrived this evening, Maya doesn’t appear to have eased up.

“Are you feeling alright?” I ask her.

Her hands lay on opposite arms, rubbing them in circles. Thinking she must be cold, I light the candle.

“Would you like something to drink?”

“No, thank you.”

I’m unsure of what to think, but I decide to keep trying as the night progresses. We indulge in a small meal before I strike up a conversation once more.

“You seem to like spending time by the window. Is there something out there that catches your attention?”

“Not particularly. I’m just bored up here.”

She seems to look everywhere, at her tea, her meal, down between her legs, everywhere but at me.

She’s even quieter than she was when I first brought her up here.

I can’t help but find her behavior quite rude. I exhale a long breath to calm myself down.

“You seem off tonight, Maya.”

I await her response. She stands from her chair, and I raise an eyebrow as she sits herself down on my lap.

“Enough talk between us, Selliss. How about some dessert?”

I glance down at her nude body and am reminded why I’ve been refusing to give her clothes.

“Did you have something in mind?” I ask her with a devious smile.

She brings her lips to my neck, planting gentle kisses until she reaches my ear. “I think you know what I want.”

I feel myself hardening for a moment. Reluctantly, I gently push her off of me.

“What’s the matter?” she asks me. “You don’t seem like the type to reject a woman’s advances.”

“Something is up with you, Maya, and I want to know what it is. You’ve barely said a word to me this evening, and now all of a sudden you want to fuck?”

“Isn’t that what I’m here for?”

I can’t deny that that’s her purpose, but I can’t bring myself to do anything, sensing the state she’s in.
