I sat in a chair at the small table, watching Caleb as he lit some wood on fire in the middle of the floor. “Is it safe to have a fire inside the house?” I asked.

“There are so many cracks in the mud holding the logs in place that no carbon dioxide will build up. Don’t worry, you’re not with an idiot.” He stood up and went to retrieve something from his bag. He turned back and smiled at me as he held out a dingy cloth. “Dinner, dried jerky, and some bread my mother made this morning. I’ll get some water from the stream. I’ll be right back,” he said, as he walked out the door into the dark night.

Dark had fallen so quickly. I supposed it was due to the eclipse of the second sun. The fire made things look a little better in the flickering light. My stomach was growing tighter as I knew what was about to happen.

Caleb’s cheeks had flushed several times as I caught him looking me over when he thought I wasn’t looking. I had to admit I had looked him over as well. His clothes hid a lot about him, I was sure. His forearms were tightly muscled, so I knew his biceps had to be nice as well.

I had grown up on the bovine farm, I was aware of how intercourse went. It was usually fast, and the female avoided it every time in the animal world.

Would he be quick and then it would be done?

A naked man was not a sight I had seen. I’d seen male animals, so I had an idea of what there was to see. The sound of his boots as he walked up to the open door of the shack stopped me from thinking any further.

He walked in and handed me a wooden cup, full of water. His smile was so big I thought he must be proud of the stuff, so I took a sip and found it refreshing. It tasted good. “It’s really good.”

“The water here is filled with minerals and is supposed to be really healthy for you. It’s one of the reasons I chose this area to build the house. You have the forest to hunt in and the different ponds in there to fish in. You can plant a garden to get your vegetables in. I have some seeds I’ve been saving, and we can make a garden together. Maybe we can start that tomorrow after we return from my family’s place.”

I was somewhat relieved. “It’s nice to know you’ve made a plan for us. I know we all came to Euthenia to lead a simple life, but some modern things are good too. Like a bathroom. It would be nice if we could add one, even if it’s outside.”

He smiled and laid a blanket out by the fire. He looked at me with fire in his deep green eyes. “If you want one then you will have one, my queen.”

“That’s nice to hear. You and I can make this happen together. I have a feeling you’re a man I can put my trust in.” He sat on the blanket and patted the space next to him.

I went and sat with him, I was eerily calm as he made me feel a bit protected. His size could keep me safe.

Remembering the hook and strap in all the Euthenian homes and how my father kept one in his, a thing not all Earthlings accepted about the Euthenian lifestyle, I looked around for it and did not find any.

Tensely, I asked, “Caleb, do you not believe in the hook and the strap?”

Caleb shook his head. “I do not! This world is so much older than ours, but that practice is positively barbaric. You need not have any fear I will be giving you lashes when you do something that displeases me, Emerald. If you and I have any things we need to work out, we can talk about them.”

“I have to tell you that relieves me greatly. My father was fond of the strap, and my mother and I felt its sting more times than I care to recall. If that is behind me, then that is fantastic news.” I laughed and fell back on the blanket. My heart felt free with the news, and then he was over me, smiling down at me.

My heart stopped beating as his eyes had grown very dark. “The hour is late, and we have to be up at dawn's first light. We should go to bed now, wife.”

The gulp I made was loud, and he laughed as I blushed. “Okay,” I said in a whisper.

He stood and pulled me up. “I’ll make this relatively painless.” He smiled after he said the words, but it did little to make me feel better about what was about to happen to me.

Caleb unbuttoned the buttons on the bodice of my dress as I tried hard not to allow my body to shiver. His hands were large, and he was having trouble with the dainty things. “Shall I do that?”

He gave me a nod and stepped back to allow me some space. I finished what he’d started and pushed the dress from my body, leaving the dark blue material in a heap on the ground. Red dust puffed up as it hit the floor and I coughed.

Not a stitch was under the dress, and I stood naked in front of him. I stepped out of my shoes and went to lie on the pallet of blankets. He pulled his clothes off hurriedly and came to stand over me.

His large cock was at full attention, and my eyes were large. “Caleb, that will never fit.”

“Don’t worry, it will.” He moved in next to me and placed his hand on my breast. “These are lovely. May I?”

My nose wrinkled as my face squished up as if I’d tasted something sour. “May you what?”

“Suckle it,” he said as he looked confused. “Do you have no idea of the things that come along with intercourse, Emerald? Were you not taught by your mother?”

I shook my head. “Guess you have to do that, Caleb.”

“Then just lie back and close your eyes and get ready for a trip to Heaven, wife.” He smiled and squeezed my breast.

“Heaven? So, it feels good then?” I was confused. The animals never seemed as if it felt good.

“I guess I’ll let you be the judge of that, Emerald.” He leaned over and kissed me.

Not like the peck he gave me after we got married. A real kiss. A solid kiss. A kiss that took my breath away. When he finally released me, I looked up at him and batted my eyelashes. “That was magnificent!”

“You liked that, then you’re about to love this.” He placed his mouth on my breast and nipped it, making me squeal.

Then I moaned as my tongue ran over it, and his hot mouth sucked it. He took the other breast in his hand and rubbed it, giving it gentle squeezes now and then.

My body was building up heat, and my insides were quivering. I felt I wanted even more. His mouth was taking me to a place I’d never been. He moved his body over mine and shifted to kiss my lips again.

I squirmed a little as I felt him pressing his large appendage to my small opening. He pushed until he moved inside me sending a white-hot pain through me. But the pain ebbed shortly afterward and an intense pleasure began.

My body moved with his, and I was surprised by how hard we were both breathing. Moans erupted from both of us, and at least, I was unaware of them leaving my mouth.

His hands stroked softly over my body, and his lips grazed my neck as he moved over me. Something inside me was building, and I had no idea of what was about to happen.

When I climaxed, I found herself shouting his name over and over. His body went taut, and a wet heat filled me. I knew then it was his seed that poured into me.

My body naturally milked his large appendage, pulling every drop of the life-giving liquid from his loins. My heart beat like never before, and my mind was quiet, nothing mattered but how our bodies responded together.

After a deep, long breath, I managed to say, “Caleb, that was awesome. We have to do that a lot. Please say we can!”

His deep chuckle shook my body, and he kissed me softly on my lips. “If that’s what you want, my princess.”
