Eteri’s eyes fluttered open and she was painfully aware of two things. How much her body ached and how incredibly thirsty she was. The catgirl pushed herself off the bed, rubbing her eyes. “Nevin?” Her silent footsteps padded across the bedroom floor and into the kitchen. “Nevin?” She said with a yawn. He wasn’t in the kitchen either.

She grumbled heading toward the sink she turned the tap on. Instead of a grabbing a cup like a normal person she leaned forward and began to lap at the running water. That felt better. Eteri turned the tap off and arched her back as she stretched. It was the middle of the night. Generally… that meant that he’d be in his workshop. Eteri went to head in there but paused when she realised she was still naked.

Ah..

That day they had...multiple sexual romps with each other. It would explain why she was so sore. Eteri shook her head and headed back to the room to grab one of Nevin’s shirts, pulling it over her head as she headed back to the workshop.

“Nevin?” She called out, pressing a hand against the door and pushing to see if it was locked.

Nevin looked up from the simmering brew and looked towards the door. She was awake, good. “Come on in, honey. It's safe.”

Eteri pushed open the door to see Nevin fully dressed and hunched over his desk. She grimaced. “Looking better than Eteri feel...Eteri feel like big rock hit head.” She said as she approached him from behind. She pressed her chin on his shoulder and peered down into a strange light yellow liquid. “That not more stuff to make Eteri really hot is it?”

Nevin considered her before shaking his head slightly. He pointed to a small bottle on a shelf filled with a light purple liquid. “That's the aphrodisiac. I've watered it down, so if we ever want to use it again it won't have as much of an effect on you. The darker purple next to it is a brew to be used on me instead.” It might make her feel better to know there was some meant for him, too.

“This stuff is actually for you. It's to help with the dehydration you're feeling, honey. It should also wipe any remains of the other stuff out of you.” He leaned forward and scooped a little out to test it on his tongue.

Eteri huffed. “Not need that. Not long time. Very tired.” She admitted avoiding the urge to knock the vials down and off the shelf. “Eh?” She turned her attention to the liquid that Nevin had just scooped out into the spoon. She was clearly wary at first. She leaned down and sniffed it. Then carefully took it into her mouth.

“Et tu!? Honey?” It was sweet, it tasted like a mixture of pollen, honey and something else she couldn’t put her finger on. “Taste nice.”

“Of course, Eteri. I didn't want you to be that in pain, and I'm sorry about that. This is a treat to make up for that. When I used the aphrodisiac on myself, it wasn't that strong. Eteri, I am sorry.” He turned to look her in the face.

“I shouldn't have done that without making sure you were OK with it first. I know you went along with it, but I want you to know this, it we ever do something that makes you uncomfortable, you need to tell me to stop, okay honey?”


“Eteri said is ok to test.” She held up a finger to him and pressed it against his nose. “Nevin know Eteri not...Eteri not sexual but does lots with you. Eteri think need break.”

She blinked, seeing the oddly hurt facial expression on his face. She tilted her head to the side. Did she say something wrong? She thought she had gotten the terminology right this time. Didn’t a break mean that they would take a rest from something?

“I… If that's what you think. Just, can you - no, it is your decision when you'll come back.” Nevin turned away and rested his face in his hands, elbows propped on the desk.

“What wrong?” Eteri wrapped her arms around his waist, there was no way she would be able to wrap them around his broad shoulders. “Not go anywhere?” Eteri blinked. “Want stay? Not use right word?” She asked..
