Chapter Ten

 

 

 

The Contented

 

One second Merryn stood there, happy as could be, and five minutes later she saw him wandering up the laneway looking tired, staggering a bit, naked, but smiling nonetheless. She’d had enough time to call Dirk to say thanks but no thanks. He seemed more angry than sad—she didn’t look forward to the next time she’d encounter him, but at least she’d have Merryn by her side.

Unlike the first time she’d seen him, she didn’t hesitate to stare at all of him, from his long blond hair, to his beautiful sparkling green eyes, down his toned torso, to his semi-hard cock.

“Most of you looks tired, but the rest …” She reached out for him and he folded her in a comforting embrace.

He pressed himself against her and said in her ear, “That part of me has missed you every bit as much as my heart has.” He looked at her; his eyes were no longer bright. “The question is, how will I live if I must live so much longer than you?”

“I’ve been thinking about that. You said that pixies do eventually die of old age. If an hour here is fifty years in your world, surely we’ll grow old together.”

He smiled. “That makes my heart very glad, my beautiful Ivy.”

“Let’s get you home and into some clothes,” she said.

“But first, let’s get you out of yours.”

Ivy took him by the hand and together they entered their home.
