Kahann the Naga: Part Two (special preview)

Jay decided to walk the beach before it got dark, just to see if there was anything to be found. As you sat with Kaia, facing the direction Jay left, she gave you a look then shyly turned away.

“What is it?” You asked.

“I feel silly,” she huffed.

You furrowed your brow. “Silly is a bad thing here?”

She smiled and giggled, pressing her knuckles to her rougueing cheek. “Okay, well, I don’t like fibbing to you is all. Seems silly to do so here, especially when you know Jay and I are married.” She bit her lip and looked down at the tops of her knees. “Jay and I didn’t go off to get water.”

You played dumb just to ease Kaia’s mind. “What were you doing then?”

Her big smile grew, as did the shade of her face. Her tail twitched and she stroked her hair. “We made love.”

The warmth of your cheeks spread and you nodded. “Oh, I see. It makes sense, you two probably used to enjoy such alone time. Being on this island, I’m sure it helps.”

Kaia nodded, looking shyly over at you. “I hope you’re not mad at us.”

“How could I be? If you needed to be alone, you needed to be.” You shrugged and gave her a smile.

Kaia’s girlish expression waned into one of concern. “What about you?”

You shook your head. “What about me?”

“You said you were married before,” Kaia murmured.

You frowned and shook your head. “I was married off. I don’t consider myself married at all. My parents chose him for his money. After years and years of talking about finding a pious, morally righteous, good looking-” You stopped yourself when you began to feel steam coming out of your ears.

“What did they pick?” Kaia asked with the quietest of voices.

You scoffed and gazed back towards the trees. “A man old enough to be my father. A man whose nails were dirty and uncared for. A man who would take me sleeping just because I was his.”

Kaia turned her whole body to you and took hold of your hand. “Oh no. Did he hurt you?”

“Tried. But luckily the boat sank.” Your guts churned and turned cold. You turned back and looked at Kaia. It was your fault the boat sank, you prayed for it. “I didn’t-”

Kaia put her arm around you. “Shh. It’s okay.”

“Hey!” Jay called from the beach. You both turned, seeing him dragging a net full of supplies. “Look what washed up!”

You raced down to see his bounty, discovering not just a full net, but more rope, various tools, and a crate of melons that was thankfully still good. You feasted that night, falling asleep to tummies full of sweet melon.

You woke in the night though, going and stoking the fire when sleep wouldn’t return. You kept dreaming of Kahaan and how he wrapped around you.

In your mind, everything that transpired was both vivid and hazy in your mind. Certain sights and sensations came through as clear as days. Other moments were fogged over as if they had happened long ago. Kahann’s voice was barely there, but the tenderness of your body was still fresh. You gazed out into the jungle, wondering if he was watching. While Kaia and Jay were going to bed you unbuttoned your sleeping gown and exposed your breasts to that darkness.
