"You're getting strong again," I say.
She nods. Closing her lips, she smiles and swallows her food. I was afraid she'd never smile again. "If you keep feeding me like this, I'll be a very happy girl," she says.
"If you behave, I'll feed you better. And—" I pause and build her anticipation. "We can watch the sunrise from my favorite spot."
She looks over at her leash and collar. "Will you lead me, sir?"
"Is that what you want?" I ask.
"I trust you,” she says.
I grab her collar. “I don’t see why not.”
Her smile grows bigger, as if there are a million new opportunities opening up for her. It breaks my heart. “I think I’d like to see the area. It's been ages since I left the jungle," she says.
She doesn't know how beautiful she is. That's the problem. I didn't think I'd ever get this lucky, and I sure as hell didn't expect this to happen with a human.
The consequences of mating an EF soldier weigh on me, but the much-needed caution can't compete with how good this feels. We are finally enjoying our time together.
I wipe some spice from her lips. "You've been good. It makes me want to bring you out more often," I say.
"I've tried so hard," she says. "I've even adjusted to the room. It has been weeks, hasn't it?"
Has she been counting? If so, how? I haven't seen any notches in the wall.
"Yes," I say. "And it has been days since you've had a bath. You need to wash up before bed."
She waits for me to stand. When I do, she removes herself from the chair and kneels in front of me. "Will you do it?" she asks.
Placing my finger underneath her jaw, I feel how soft her skin is. I force her to look at me. "You want me to bathe you this time?"
Normally, I watch to see how long I can last.
"I think you'd be much better at it," she says. "I'm very dirty."
"We'll see," I say.
I stand and pick her up, leading her to the bathroom. I run the hot water, making sure it's the perfect temperature for her body. I spread a special blend of flowers and herbs across the water, and I stand.
"What is that?" she asks.
"Flowers, mostly. Picked them myself. They go well with your scent."
The feminine smell spreads throughout the room. My cock grows as she balances against her heels, acting so delicate for me. I want to please her.
"It smells wonderful," she says.
Her head fits so perfectly inside my palm. My hand is bigger than her cheek. "And so do you."
Every time she smiles, a rush of euphoria encapsulates me. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. There is always the possibility this might not last forever, but right now, this feels like everything. If
her squad picked up her location, these memories would be all I have before they’d kill me.
I stop the water. Wading my hand through the clear surface, I let her know that it's time.
"Undress me," she says. "I'm ready to be clean."
From behind, I roll up her undershirt. She ducks her head out of the collar and pushes out of the fabric.
