" They were silent together for a while and she said, "What's wrong?" He reached up and dimmed the light down further, not to complete darkness but almost, and said, "I feel like." They were silent together for a while and she said, "What's wrong?" He reached up and dimmed the light down further, not to complete darkness but almost, and said, "I feel like... well, like it's over. Like we finally did it, and what's left for us to do?" She snuggled closer to him again, wrapping her arms around him. He felt her tail wrap around his leg. "There's a lot for us to do. Is this how you always feel with your other girlfriends?" "Furry," he said. "I had sex with those girlfriends so I could brag about it later. I didn't really care about them. I care about you." "Then it isn't over," she whispered. "Because I care about you too." Her fingers caressed his back; he closed his eyes and concentrated on the sensation of her body next to his. "And I want to keep you until the end of the trip." "Keep me?" She chuckled and said, "Yeah, keep you. "I'm not sure I like the way that sounds." "Oh, hush, sexy," she laughed. "I just want to be yours, too. Is that too much to ask?" He laughed in the dark and said, "Sounds like a commitment." "It's not that serious," she said, returning the laugh. "Can we get some sleep now?" he asked. "Hey, you were the one who started this." "Yeah," he said, reaching up and touching the light control. The lights dimmed immediately. Furry was asleep almost instantly. He took a little longer. When he awoke the next morning, Furry was not lying next to him. He scanned about the room quickly before realizing that the water was running in the shower. He shrugged and eased himself to the edge of the bed, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes as he did so. |
