Chapter 9: 9
A bottle of shiny liquid flew from somewhere and hovered before Kiri's gaze.
"Still... How do you make it?"
"I'll tell you later if you're obedient..." Ingris drawled with a mysterious smile.
"Oh, well, I understand what you're getting at?" Kiri nodded his head. "You will demand payment for every secret you share, won't you? No way, then!"
He had to soap up the fae and scratch his elastic reliefs with deliberate force with his nails.
"Oh, how nice! No one has scratched me like that in hundreds of years!"
"Such thick skin! That's why you don't freeze like I do... I'm tormented by a question... on a personal topic."
"Ask…" Ingris purred, closing his eyes in pleasure.
"How many people have you used as lovers in your life? Surely I'm not the first one you dragged into your lair?"
"Mmm..." the deer guy opened his eyes in amazement. "Well... I haven't done this before. Random rare contacts with drunk girls who had no idea what was going on. People are very timid creatures and when they saw me they screamed like crazy. Still, my horns are terribly frightening to mortals. I had to disappear... Why listen to such frantic screams?"
"And now you're impatient for family relationships?"
"I was constantly secretly watching people... I realized that I needed a permanent partner."
"Ugh!" Kiri cringed. "Did you spy? Probably you have seen a lot of things that are not for prying eyes?"
"Yes... it impressed me. It turned out... everyone makes love differently."
"Oh, I've never seen anything like this... and it would never have occurred to me!"
"However, such a spectacle is captivating. You said that there are no perverts in your village... but there definitely are, I've seen many times how guys do this secretly from everyone."
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Kiri shook his head. "I do not believe!"
"Many times... couples in the forest at night with indiscreet moans. This sparked curiosity and started to excite me."
"And you noticed me specifically for this purpose? Did you want to try? But I don't…"
"If you could hear their sweet moans, you wouldn't shy away from my deep caresses."
"Oh no..." Kiri pulled away from him. "I'm not interested in this... And if you want my affection for you, you don't have to force me to obey. I'm only ready for friendship. I will live with you just like that, but don't cross my moral boundaries. Respect me as much as I respect you."
"Oh... I see. I will cherish my dream of merging with you, I have patience, I can wait for your reciprocity, but don't hope to ever escape from me, I will never lose my vigilance."
He dived under the water to rinse himself, and Kiri quickly jumped out of the water and ran into the house, wrapped in a blanket.
"Then why did I wash myself so thoroughly?" Ingris muttered, shaking himself. "He ran away again... Does he still disdain me? Do I really stink that much?"
He sniffed himself intently.
"I smell like a mountain flower in the morning after a thunderstorm..."
Coming ashore, he dried under the stream of wind, picked up Kiri's clothes and left them at the entrance.
"How long can you lead me by the nose? Come out! We're not done yet!"
"No! I don't like what you're going to do to me!" There was an indignant cry.
"Okay..." Ingris agreed tensely. "Just kisses and hugs, if you're so afraid."
"Enough for today! My mouth and tongue already hurt from your caresses! And in general... with such fangs you can kiss only wolves!"
"Blockhead!" The deer guy got angry. "I'm extremely gentle with you. So come out!"
"Not today! Just tomorrow!"
"What a stubborn guy! You can't go anywhere, you'll still become mine..." the forest fae whispered and went about his business.
Poor thing Kiri couldn't even ponder the thought of escaping, otherwise Ingris would tighten the reins. After all, if the young man finds a way to get out of the trap and return home, who knows how angry fae will be, unleashing his rage on his villagers. It could be a hurricane wind, a flood, or even worse - a fire! And all the cones will fly in his direction: for refusing to become the husband of a horned creature. The situation seemed hopeless... This creature is too powerful, and even immortal!
Where do these even come from? Kiri once asked the question of who gave birth to him.
"There were no parents," Ingris answered him. "I remember that I was little once, I grew up, I don't know how much time has passed. Animals themselves served me, fed me or donated their bodies..."
"What!? Like this!?"
"For example, fish washed up on the shore of the pond at my feet so that I could eat it, birds laid their eggs, and wild boars brought me nourishing roots..."
"How entertaining! Are you the son of Mother Nature? So it turns out?" concluded Kiri. "For some reason, everything is different with people. We seem to be disturbing her, and you... our Master? Has she exalted you above us?"
"It's good that my position has reached your mind. You have no choice but to serve me. I have the strength to control everything that surrounds me, no matter how annoying it may be to you."
"Yeah..." the young man agreed sheepishly, realizing even more deeply what a difficult situation he was in.
"I don't at all seek to enslave people, I don't need power over humans! But sometimes I have desires that are not easy to refuse... Therefore, I have the audacity to take from you what makes me happy... You, my sweet one..."
This is the most that Kiri could allow his captor - every day long and deep kisses with tight cuddles, after which Ingris fell into euphoria, not letting go of him.
