It’s been a few days, and Treia feels a heat in her body that makes her mind foggy. She anxiously finds her eyes wandering everywhere she goes, searching for the one person she needs to cure her of a biological imperative.

  She is a gatonine, so she readily recognizes the feeling that she goes through every few months since she was a teenager.

  She’s in heat, a very deep and primal state of ovulation that hyperfocuses her on getting herself a man and bearing his children. Treia herself had a betrothal that fell through, even though her family aren’t nobility. She was to be married to a baron’s son, but the first time they had intercourse, she couldn’t stand it. She pleaded with her father to rescind the betrothal, since she wouldn’t survive. Her fiance wasn’t a bad person, but she couldn’t do her duties as a wife. Her father warned her that he wouldn’t be able to continue taking care of the remaining siblings as well as her on his income, and Treia didn’t hesitate to join the military. While her family was disappointed, they allowed her to undertake military service so that worse wouldn’t come to pass.

  But, as she grew closer and closer to Daniel, Treia made a decision. She WILL endure it for him. She wants to be part of Daniel’s family, and she wants to know what it’s like; what everyone else is willing to go through to have so many children.

  And, her body demands it now. Daniel and Hekate made a request to purchase the suppression prescription for his two gatonine companions, Treia and Gwenesphia, who specifically go into heat. A few other races do as well, but none of whom are in Daniel’s inner circle at the moment.

  Treia does her best to focus, but she can’t help but search, so she decides to go find him. She has to make sure that he also knows the truth before she gives herself to him. She’s ready for the physical pain, but if he rejects her as well…

  Treia finds Daniel working on a fairly large machine. The gatonine woman has learned to look for him either early in the morning or late at night. Hekate sometimes tries to match his sleep schedule, but Daniel often outlasts everyone, seemingly burning through all daylight hours and most of the nighttime as if he doesn’t need sleep. Fortunately, he seems to be healthy and in good spirits most of the time, so he’s not hurting for sleep.

  “D-Daniel?” asks Treia, nearly choking on her burning desire as her tail coils around like it has a life of its own.

  Daniel murmurs as he finishes what he’s working on, “One moment…”

  Hearing those words makes Treia squirm. It’s taking her everything in her power just to hold herself back. But, it’s been a few days now, and he agreed to accept her the very next time she goes into heat, which is today.

  Daniel fastens a cover back into place, and he sits up, looking at Treia. “Ah! Treia! What’s up? Looking to have another drink night?”

  She smiles, fidgeting as her tail swings back and forth. If she could focus, she would likely notice that his eyes track to her tail, watching it. It’s a fairly quick giveaway, and he knows to look for it.

  Treia’s heart is racing, and every fiber of her body is urging her to appeal to him and accept him immediately.

  She intends to, but she manages to summon her focus. “Um… No, n-not right now.” She takes a step off to the side, seemingly walking to a different area of the room. Her hands are behind her back, and she’s trying to not act suspicious.

  “You remember the deal we made, Daniel?”

  Daniel’s neutral smile warms up, and he replies, “I do.”

  “Mm-hmm. And…?”

  “And?” repeats Daniel.

  She licks her teeth, knowing that he’s toying with her. He knows exactly what. She slides her hands down the front of her soft blouse, feeling for her pants button. She starts to idly unfasten her button, but holds herself off for the moment. “Daniel, you promised.”

  “I know. And, I’ll keep my promise. Just let me know.”

  Treia growls in the back of her throat, glaring at him lightly as she tries to remain coy.

  Daniel grins, knowing that he’s successfully teasing her, and it makes her even more frustrated. She glances around, making sure they’re alone. “I… Daniel, I’m… Listen, if you make me say it, then how will you know?”

  “I don’t read minds, Treia. Even if I could, I wouldn’t. And, I also promised you I wouldn’t do anything to you that you don’t like.”

  She faces him quickly, fidgeting with her hands as her tail curls a little more steadily behind her. She takes a breath. “I… It’s time, Daniel. I’m… My cycle just started.”

  “Oh? Has it?” asks Daniel, feigning innocence. She frowns at him, causing him to chuckle. “Alright, alright. I was pretty sure. Your tail is your most honest trait.”

  She closes the distance on him, and he accepts a hug as she wraps her arms around him. She enjoys everything about him for a moment, letting her body start ramping up to the next step. The deeper into her heat she goes, the easier it will be for her to endure what she needs to endure. “Daniel… I… I love you, and… I’m ready for you. Please accept me. I need it.”

  “I think we still have plenty of the medication…”

  She grips his arm, prodding his skin through his shirt using her nails. “Daniel…”

  “Say no more…”

  Treia gasps when Daniel scoops her up into a princess carry, cradling her in his arms with ease. “Looks like I need to clear my schedule.”

  She stares into his eyes, infatuated with him, and she nods in agreement. “A-All night! J-Just in case.”

  He smirks, and he carries her to the transport station, taking her to her room -since the dragons and Hekate are often in his-. Treia lets him in, and he carries her across the threshold. Something about that makes Treia especially happy, but she doesn’t know what. If anything, it feels like she and her beloved have returned home together.

  Daniel flops her down onto her bed, not hesitating to pin her down and kiss her, which sets her heart on fire. She wants to embrace him with her arms, but he’s holding her wrists above her head, and it makes her feel excited.

  He is her chosen lover, and he’s giving her what she wants. Or, at least, what her body wants so she can have a family.

  Daniel keeps her hands pinned using just his right hand, and he uses his newly-free left hand to tug her shirt out of her pants waist, and he begins exploring her skin with his hand. She hums, passionately kissing him as he keeps complete control of her and the situation.

  For once, she’s completely content to cede total control to a man. And, Daniel is taking his time, making her breed-hungry mind demand her to fight for her absolutely needed -no, her firmly deserved reward-.

  With a rather swift move, Daniel slides her shirt off with his one hand, managing to remove it even with her back down. She barely noticed that he did it, but she can feel her bare breasts exposed to the air. Faster! urges her subconscious. Hurry, Daniel! Please! Give it to me!

  To remove her shirt, of course, he had to briefly free her hands, and she instantly sets to pulling his shirt off as well, working on her pants next. She is in a rush, and just as she’s sliding her pants down her hips, Daniel scoops his arms through hers and pins her down again. He teases, “What’s the rush, Treia?”

  “You know exactly what!” whines the young gatonine woman. “I’m dying here! I’m so hot! Please, give me relief! I need you Daniel! Only you!”

  He smiles, kissing her again. “Aww, poor Kitten.” She squirms furiously under him, trying to free her arms so she can wrestle him, but he’s heavier than she is, and he’s ready for her gatonine strength. Her legs squirm and kick behind him in futility, and she can’t gain any leverage in their grappling match.

  Still pinning her down, Daniel lowers his head to her breast, taking a moment to tenderly kiss each of her breasts directly over the nipple, licking her nipple. It sends shivers down her spine as she squirms, all but shoving her breast into his face as he suckles them. He’s successfully stimulating her immensely, and he hasn’t even taken her pants off, yet.

  Treia groans, “Daniel…! I'm going to drain you dry if you keep this up! I can’t stand it! I feel so cold! Warm me up, please! I beg you!”

  Daniel kisses the top of her breast, and then along her collar and neck, and she hums in a long tone, trying to urge him, even though she’s enjoying every touch on her skin.

  “Aren’t you supposed to want the relief, too!? You’re a man! Act like one!” Her whining is still futile, as Daniel is enjoying teasing her. He lays his weight down against her, kissing her lips as their chests touch each other. He finally releases her hands to use his left hand to stroke her sides under her armpit, while he slides his right hand under her back, following down her back to gently knead her buttocks. He finds the base of her tail, and she twitches as a jolt zips through her tail. She huffs, breaking their lips to catch a breath. “D-Daniel… I… You’re…”

  She realizes she’s not using her hands for something very important. She is hugging his neck, continuing the kiss, rather than trying to get her desperately needed filling.

  She springs her attack, using all of her strength and her freed arms to force Daniel to roll to his right, where his right arm is behind her back, unable to support his weight and balance himself. She manages to roll him onto his back, and she instantly pins him down, panting as she catches her breath and grins down at him with her full triumphant smile. Daniel chuckles, and her tail swings back and forth quickly. “Now then…” warns the gatonine woman.

  Daniel interrupts her by squeezing her tail gently with a “Boop.”

  “Yeep!” yelps Treia, instantly snapping her hand back to grip his wrist. He gently pulls on her tail towards the side, and she can feel her hips leaning that way, as if he’s going to slowly roll them both back over and take control back. She squirms and grapples him, grunting to keep him on his back and under her control. She growls out through gritted teeth, “Daniel, stop fighting. Just give your wife what she wants.”

  “Oh-hoho!” chuckles Daniel. “Promoting yourself to wife all of a sudden?”

  “Grah! Shut up! I am! I don’t care about the rules. You’re the only one I want to be with!”

  Suddenly, Treia stops fighting, and even though Daniel could easily take charge again, he stops wrestling her at the same time, sensing something’s wrong. “What is it?”

  She murmurs, “Daniel… I… I have a confession…”

  Daniel’s expression softens to a serious and sincere listening expression. He offers gently, “I’m all ears, Treia.”

  She lays herself down on his chest, relaxing. It’s the same as when she apologized to him after he fixed her memory crystal. She feels safe, and it gives her the courage to say what she needs to say.

  “I… I’m not… a maiden… I was betrothed, and we shared a night of intimacy. I… I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner…”

  Daniel waits a moment, before asking softly, “Is… that it?”

  She looks at him, shocked by his apathetic response.

  “Sorry, I don’t mean to make it sound like I’m blowing you off. I just… If that’s all it is, that’s nothing. I assume you’re not still intimate with him, right?”

  She scoffs, saying softly, “No. I couldn’t do it more than a couple of times, and I didn’t like it. I pleaded with my father to end the betrothal, and I joined the military a few days later.” She cocks her head, her ears folding down to the sides in worry. “You… really don’t mind?”

  “I don’t. You’re mine now, and I’m happy to father your first children.”

  She smiles happily, overwhelmed by her emotions and her biological state. She hugs his neck and kisses him, her arousal immediately returning. In fact, she’s almost certainly deeply in love with Daniel now, in addition to being completely aroused by him.

  She asks softly, “Now, will you stop teasing me and give me my first children, Daniel?” She kisses his lips again, and then the tip of his nose, pleading with him.

  This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

  He smiles, “Alright. Since you’ve been a good little kitten.”

  She grins. “Yes!” She climbs off of him, scrambling out of her pants and underwear before Daniel can pounce her. She tosses her clothes to the end of her bed, and she takes some very deep breaths.

  She lays down beside Daniel again, this time on her stomach, and she hugs her pillow. “I-I’m ready, Daniel.”

  He chuckles, finishing removing his own clothes. He gently pets her right buttock, and she twitches a little. She’s ready, and she wholly accepts Daniel with her entire heart. He is the one she’s willing to go through with it for.

  Daniel touches her labia, and she twitches again, tensing a little. Her vagina is dripping with her natural lubricant, but she’s too afraid to look. She wants to give Daniel children and satisfy her estrus. She just has to brace herself.

  Daniel asks softly, “Treia? Are you sure you want to do this?”

  She nods, “Y-Yes. Please.”

  “You seem somewhat tense, though. Did… he hurt you?”

  “Who? M-My fiance?” She looks over her shoulder to make eye contact, and Daniel looks genuinely concerned. “N-No! Certainly not!” She reaches behind herself, taking his hand. “I want you, Daniel. Please. I’m ready. I swear I’m alright.”

  Daniel nods, and she smiles at him before she lays back down in her position. She wiggles her hips and tail invitingly, saying cutely, “Hurry, Daniel! You’re leaving me cold and empty!”

  Daniel positions himself, touching her labia once more, and she hums softly. She tries to relax, but she’s genuinely afraid.

  She can feel Daniel’s tip touch her vagina lips, and she braces herself. Daniel seems to be cautious of hurting her, and he gently takes his time sliding himself in. She can feel his penis go deeper and deeper inside of her, and her vaginal folds hug him snugly. She keeps bracing herself, but pain never comes. She can feel him deep inside of her, and shock hits her, causing her to lift her head.

  Daniel pauses for a moment, but she’s trying to make sense of what she’s feeling.

  Daniel moves gently, withdrawing a little and then pushing himself back in, and she feels a tingly pressure in her belly, but no pain.

  “Are you okay, Treia?”

  “Y-Yeah…” murmurs the gatonine woman.

  Daniel moves again, and it’s the same gentle, bubbly feeling, but still no pain. Treia flops down, reaching painstakingly under her belly to feel him as he slides out, gently touching his member with her fingers as he retreats. She uses the sides of her fingers to feel his length, but what she discovers surprises her.

  “Are you sure you’re okay?” asks Daniel.

  “Y-You… There aren’t… spines?”

  “Spines?” asks Daniel, confused.

  Treia quickly squirms out from under him, and he sits up on his knees to let her out more easily. She climbs up to her hands and knees and whirls to face him, or rather, his human mating tool.

  She touches his full length gently, fascinated by its shape and texture.

  Daniel is unsure of what’s going on, so he can only chuckle in confusion.

  Treia locks eyes with him, confessing with watering eyes. “I-... I never understood… I always thought… It was… everyone was…” She loops her arms around his neck and kisses him, pressing him down onto his back. She slides herself back down, carefully lining him up as her tail swishes back and forth. She guides his penis back into herself, sliding down his full length in one fluid motion. She hums in a tender tone, ending with an effeminate squeak as she takes him as deep as he’ll go, deeper than he was in the position she was in on her stomach -a defense strategy she concocted the couple of times with her former fiance.

  She savors the warm, cozy, filling sensation with rosy cheeks and a blissful bite of her lip. “I… This… Daniel…”

  Daniel gently pets her sides, asking softly, “Are you sure he didn’t hurt you?”

  She shakes her head. “N-Not intentionally… N-Now I know…” She rocks her hips, sliding Daniel’s member in and out a little. She sniffles with a dopey smile. “I feel like a fool…”

  Daniel pieces it together. Apparently, gatonine men share more with terrestrial cats than he’d like to think about. And, that difference made intimacy undesirable for Treia after experiencing it, which is why she only wanted to try for children while in heat, when her body can override her fears and make her endure it.

  Treia slides her hips in slow and gentle bucks, thoroughly enjoying the feeling inside of her.

  “D-Daniel… I… I’ll b-be more intimate now.” She lays herself down on his chest, kissing him as she presses her breasts to him, raising and dropping her hips in rhythm. “M-More often, that is. I… This is what others talk about… and… I feel so dumb…”

  “You’re not dumb, Treia,” replies Daniel sincerely. “Innocent, cute, feisty, and passionate.”

  She blushes as she nibbles her lip, still riding him affectionately. Her breath is picking up, and they both feel hot. “I can’t think of anything else,” pants the gatonine as she gently claws at his skin, doing her best to stir her insides with Daniel’s relatively smooth human penis. “I hate that… I hate…” She whimpers, giving up on finishing that thought to whimper as she begins to struggle to resist the building climax in her. “I love you, Daniel…” She kisses him, suddenly swirling her hips aggressively, doing her best to push herself over the edge. She loses steam as her own body begins to tense and spasm lightly, and she clenches her inner walls down on Daniel’s member, trembling on her human lover’s chest with her arms close to her own, and Daniel hugs her. He hasn’t finished yet, and she just had at least a partial orgasm.

  Daniel teases, “That won’t do, Treia.”

  She whimpers, “I-I’m sorry… I wasn’t… ready…”

  Daniel brushes her hair aside, and her ears angle gently as she watches his eyes. He kisses her again, and she hums happily. After they part their lips, he asks softly, “Want me to finish?”

  She nods. “I… I still feel empty… and hot… and in love… and needy… I really need it… Please, Daniel?”

  He nods. He rolls them over gently without losing their connection, and he presses back into her, causing her to moan. “Goddess! I have missed so much,” whimpers Treia. Daniel smiles, gently resuming pace before speeding up, and she moans as her own body tingles and twitches. She hugs his waist and back with her legs, keeping him close as he drives himself in and out of her, stroking her vaginal walls with his well-lubricated penis.

  It doesn’t take long for her to reach a full climax, and she inadvertently digs her nails into the skin on his arms as she clutches to them. Daniel doesn’t stop though, trying to reach his own, which isn’t far behind.

  He thrusts a few more times as a new sensation reaches Treia; a very pleasing warmth straight into the middle of her belly. He presses himself back in as deep as he can go, relaxing as she cries and moans, her body shaking from her climax. When he can, he steals another kiss, and she instantly latches onto his head with her arms, hugging him firmly as she all but lovingly devours his face. She wants every part of his warmth, and she feels like she’s getting it.

  It doesn’t take long for her head to feel a little clearer than it was, and the burning fire in her body is replaced with a happy and tranquil warmth. For now, her mission is complete. Her lover just gave her what she craved.

  Treia doesn’t let Daniel go for a long time, hugging him as she cries happy tears, cuddling in his embrace as he holds her like a proper lover.

  Daniel teases, “You know, for someone who’s not a maiden, you act pretty maidenly…”

  “Shut up! Isn’t that a good thing?” She blushes as she glares at him, though she looks small and adorable in his embrace.

  He chuckles. “Of course! Not that I cared, but it’s funny you were worried about it.”

  She looks aside, grumbling, “Jerk.”

  “Hey now,” retorts Daniel as he angles her face back towards his with her chin. He grins, “You’re cute when you’re like this.”

  She growls, but she expresses her ‘frustration’ by pushing him onto his back and kissing him. She lines Daniel back up with her waiting vagina lips, still slick with their combined fluids, and she lowers herself onto his penis, taking him inside her once more. She states sassily, “I used to think every other woman was dumb. I mean, the dragons I kinda get, but Gwen… Goddess, I’m such an idiot…”

  Daniel chuckles, gently kneading her hips with his hands as she rocks back and forth on him, mostly savoring that it wasn’t a one-off thing or some kind of trick. “It’s more strange to me that a man would have much success with… such a trait.”

  Treia nods. “I know… Why would that be?”

  “I can’t say for gatonines, but… and apologies for the comparison, but for Earth cats, which are similar in that way, it’s believed to stimulate ovulation.”

  Treia looks at him skeptically. “Isn’t that what going into heat would be for? You mean I’ve been doing that all this time for no reason?”

  “Who can say? That’s just what the belief is for Earth cats. For sentient beings, it would only benefit those who uh… don’t ask for permission.”

  Treia ponders his words, and her eyes go wide as she makes a connection. She relaxes on top of him for a moment, a little disappointed suddenly. She murmurs, “I… guess it makes sense, then… For a long time, our culture was tribal, and… from what our history reads… very… mmmm… barbaric. This was hundreds of years ago, though.”

  Daniel nods in understanding. “Some of the… uh… ‘more successful’ bloodlines might’ve held out then.”

  Treia sighs. “And, I almost married one. Glad it apparently didn’t work on me…”

  Daniel slides his hands up her sides, massaging her breasts briefly. She looks at him, and he adds gently, “Let’s stop talking about that. I’d rather keep this beautiful little kitten in front of me busy squirming in bed.”

  She grins happily, kissing him briefly. “This ‘little kitten’ could kick your butt any time she likes, Daniel.”

  Daniel immediately rolls them over again, pinning her down once more as she gasps in surprise. He teases, “Is that a fact?”

  “I…” She squirms and tries to roll them back over, but Daniel has weight and leverage. “You cheated!”

  Daniel kisses her, and she playfully bites his lip, not letting go right away. “Just because I’m going to carry your baby, doesn’t mean that’s all I am!”

  Daniel slides his right hand down to her tail, which seems to be especially sensitive, and he begins to play with it, causing her to yelp in a girly tone. “You’re right. You’re a feisty little sex kitten who let me take her clothes off.”

  She gasps, still trying to wrestle him. Suddenly, He shifts back onto his knees, pulling Treia with him into a knee-standing hug as he remains inside of her. She is surprised a little, and Daniel adds softly, “You’re also a very important woman whom I love, Treia.”

  She blushes, and tears find her eyes. “Cheater…”

  “Now, let me ensure you’re carrying a baby, Treia.” He thrusts up into her a little from their current position. “You asked, and I’m happy to oblige.”

  She uses her legs to win the grapple this time, flopping him back down onto his back, and the impact drives him deep, causing her to gasp.

  Now on top again, Treia says, “Let me do it this time, Daniel.” She touches his lips with her finger, saying lasciviously, “I won’t be a baby-hungry dummy every time, so let me savor you, too.”

  He smiles and nods, and she grins. She lifts herself up, almost pulling completely off of him, only to sink back down in a long, deep stroke. She moans happily, leaning on Daniel’s chest to buck her hips. She does her best to grip his breeding tool with her muscles, trying to beat him this time. She wants to be able to focus on and savor the feeling, though she can also feel the building tingle in her own body.

  She clenches suddenly when Daniel once more grips her tail gently, and she squeaks, shivering for a moment. She huffs, “Daniel!” She bites her lip, thinking for only a moment. She lifts herself off of him, turning in a circle and planting herself back on his penis, welcoming his full length once more with her back towards his face. She grins over her shoulder as she brushes his face with her tail. “Since you seem to be so fascinated with my tail, you pervert, just sit there and enjoy.”

  Daniel chuckles, petting the length of her tail and then stroking her back, and she hums in approval, looking up with her eyes closed as she relishes the feeling. Daniel teases, “Don’t mind if I do.” He nibbles on the tip of her tail, and she shivers again. “J-Just don’t distract me.”

  Daniel idly plays with her tail, enjoying the feeling as well while Treia continues bucking her hips to deeply probe her vagina with Daniel’s member.

  The human mechanic tickles her back with her tail, which gains him a few hums of warmth, though most of her moaning and heavy breathing are thanks to her effort riding him.

  He can feel his own body building towards the finish, and he smiles. “Kitten, I have a request.”

  She looks over her shoulder, her cheeks flush with color as she pants. “Wh-What is it?”

  “Well, if you’re facing the other way, how can I play with your breasts as well?” He sits up enough to reach her breasts, and he pulls her down, causing her to yelp in surprise. He kneads her breasts playfully, pumping his hips from below her as he finishes the last little bit to his climax, hugging her firmly to his chest as she gasps. He lifts their hips together as he angles himself as deep into her as he can go, and his body pumps more of his seed deep inside of her.

  She hugs his arm, humming as she relaxes a little. The gatonine teases, “You’re such a greedy pervert, Daniel, stealing control from me yet again. And, right at the end, no less.”

  He chuckles, catching his breath. “Sorry. I just couldn’t help myself. Your body is just too sexy.”

  She blushes, shifting for comfort in his continued embrace. “I’ll forgive you. I had fun, and I feel very happy right now.” She teases a little dryly, “Though, you finished without me this time.” She waves her hand dismissively in circles as she adds in a haughty tone, “I guess I’ll just have to keep playing with you until I’m satisfied.”

  Daniel chuckles. He gently touches her labia, massaging around her vaginal lips even with his own penis still resting deep inside of her. “It seems I’ve awakened a monster.”

  “I wish I had met you years ago, Daniel… D-Don’t let that go to your head!”

  Daniel kisses her cheek. “If that was the case, I wouldn’t have stripped a princess or been banished to the edge of the world.”

  She huffs. “Yes, well… My wish would ignore all of that.”

  “But, would you have even talked to me?”

  She goes quiet, gently gripping his wrists with her hands. She murmurs, “Whatever the case, I’m happy we’re together.” She finally squirms free of him, rolling over to lay on his chest. “Now then, ready for your punishment, Daniel?”

  He chuckles, convincing her to rest for a little longer before they make love again.

  ***

  Treia relaxes on top of Daniel’s chest, thoroughly satisfied with spending the evening in loving intercourse with her kind-hearted partner. She’s definitely ready for a nap, and she couldn’t ask for much more cozy and safe than in the Citadel with Daniel.

  And, even more specifically, in bed with him.

  She yawns a little, gingerly swirling her finger on his collar.

  “Daniel?”

  “Yes, Kitten?”

  “When… you do this,... do you compare?”

  Daniel sighs. “No. Not in a way that I would say no to anyone because someone is ‘better’.”

  “But…”

  Daniel gives her a look, and she softens. He adds to his explanation, “I don’t know how I fell into the position I’m in. But, I’m not going to insult any of you by comparing you to each other, other than teasing and the Hekate game.”

  She scoffs. She ponders what he said for a moment.

  “Is that… why you didn’t even mention anyone else while we’ve been together?”

  “Mm-hmm. It’s not my place to share, and it would be disrespectful to who I’m with. I don’t know how or why you all agreed to this arrangement, but I am thankful, and I’ll do my part to make sure I don’t disrespect anyone.”

  Treia sighs. “You know, I can’t blame you. A bunch of beautiful women agree to share you. You’re a lucky guy.” She gives him a sarcastic look, and he smiles sympathetically.

  She sighs, lifting herself up enough to kiss him quickly with a gentle peck on the lips. “You better keep your promise and not neglect me, now that you know I’m not very experienced. And, I’m an idiot.”

  Daniel chuckles. “You’re not an idiot. And, I had fun. I’m looking forward to next time.” He winks at her with a warm grin.

  She blushes and smiles. “Me too.”
