Fear The Light

Error of interpitation

I woke with a splitting migraine. The temples of my head pulsing angrily. I rubbed my hot face trying to wake up enough to open my eyes. Flashes of the prior night reeled through as if on an old projector. Gasping I shot up, wide awake now more aware than before. Turning to see Olmuras cuddled in next to me, his long thin tail wrapped thrice around my upper inner left thigh. His clawed hand resting heavily on my adjacent hip. I shuffle out from beside him, making sure to unravel his tail from me before I stood. A jerking painful soreness erupted from my hips and back as I stumbled towards the bath. Quickly filling my washing bottle I hastily washed by sweaty hair and body. Noticing more than a couple love bits and small scratches over the soft skin of my breasts, sides, and inner thighs. Setting the empty bottle down next to the edge I slipped in, dipping deep under the water for a moment before rising out and sitting on my stone seat.

A long sigh left me. Eyes closed, I soaked, contemplating what to do now. With a strong sense of guilt and insecurity I came up short. There was no real way to clear up the misunderstanding without an exceeding amount of embarrassment, regret ...after all he was equivalent to a seventeen year old boy, I should have expected some misunderstandings but this far outweighed any normal situation. I prayed for the water to drag me down and swallow me. I didn't want to confront the mistake but it needed to be done. I was the adult here, if only by a few years.

I pulled myself out only to realize I had forgotten to bring a towel or clothes. Face palm. I groaned angrily at myself. I rung out my hair before peeking out into the main room.
Empty. I hoped he was still asleep. I couldn't afford for another misunderstanding to occur. Briskly I ran to my bedroom area, aware that I was leaving a trail of water droplets after me. Quickly searching desperately for my towel through my belongings. I stopped and groaned as I remembered I had left it in the other room. The room where he slept. By this point I no longer cared, grabbing a big blue shirt I dried my body quickly with it. Pulling on a grey sports bra, black thong, light grey sweatpants and a knitted yellow sweater I noted that I needed to do some laundry soon. Trotting out of my room an array of different scenarios played in a jumble inside my mind.
I stood just inside the doorway, anxious and uncomfortable. Olmuras was no longer asleep but still splayed out along the bed his tattered clothes no wear in sight. Diverting my attention away I left the room, only to come back with a pair of large men's black sweat pants and a deep red V necked shirt.

"Here"

I tossed the clothes atop him, still keeping my eyes to the adjacent wall. I listened for the rustling to stop before waiting a moment longer to glance over, confirming he was now dressed.

"Was your sleep restless? You appear still pale."

I ignored him and sat down at the end of the bed. He sat up motioning towards me. Immediately I raised my hand, stopping him.

"We need to talk about last night....there's been a big misunderstanding."

His grin of pearly white fangs dropped.

"A misunderstanding??"

"Yes...when I said I had womanly needs I was referring to privacy...that's why we couldn't sleep in the same area. It wasn't because of sexual things it was because I needed to change and whatnot... and I didn't initiate anything by pulling you in! I got embarrassed when I noticed you were so close and I accidentally fell taking you with me!!...as well as when I asked where I was hurt I didn't mean lick it!! I meant tell me and then get off!"
My voice trailed off becoming a near silent whisper by the end of my spiel. The realization of a mistake was becoming evident as the wheels turned through his head as I talked. He sat cross legged with his large hands covering his face; claws buried in his dark hair. Silent. The awkwardness settled around us as he mumbled something. I couldn't make it out.

"What did you say?... I couldn't quite hear you"

His fiery eyes met mine as he removed his hands from his face. A look of embarrassment, guilt, and panic displayed all over it. He lunged forwards to his knees bowing. Forehead pressed against the ruffled blankets.

"I apologize! Please forgive me!...I will serve you well as my master! To make it up to you!"

"It's fine no need for the master servant stuff. We just gotta make sure we don't interpret each other wrongly anymore..."

I paused. Taking a breath as I strung along a tattered embarrassing question.
"Umm-Did...we...umm you know....do it?"

I flushed as he sat back staring straight into my eyes.

"No we did not mate, although I was able to relieve you of your desire orally. After which you orgasmed, and proceeded to faint...I did undress you so that you may rest peacefully"

His words were blunt and to the point as if he new I was worrying about it.

I let go of the breath I was holding in. I wasn't a virgin but without any contraception the terror of becoming pregnant in our situation was beyond terrifying. Olmuras seemed to have a curious expression but I ignored it and left the room.

The remainder of the next few days went by without any trouble.
