Page 64 of Dryad, Try Again
“You can’t fight my vines, can you, human?”
He struggles against my plants as I jerk him off. “No,” he whimpers.
I grin and, on instinct, stroke his lips with my free hand. Without stopping my rhythm below, I command, “Open up, human.”
He doesn’t hesitate. When his lips part, I run my branch fingers along his mouth. Then his tongue teases them, and I thrum with pleasure. When he sucks one into his mouth, I nearly lose my mind.
The tree dome around us quivers. Tanner is getting me close. No one’s ever sucked me in this form before. He continues to run his tongue along my branch, sending waves of pleasure throughout my roots. All the while, I increase my speed down below. I jerk. He licks. I jerk faster. He suckles me. It’s ecstasy.
“Fuck, Tanner…I mean…human.” I groan and he grins as he kisses my bark.
“Please, Mr. Dryad.” He grins at me coyly while taking my branches in and out of his perfect lips.
“What?”
He licks up and down my branches. He swirls his tongue around, sending shudders down my dark trunk spine. “Please, let me…please…jerk me faster.”
“Yesss…” I hiss. I pick up the pace, and Tanner’s face gets redder. He grits his teeth, his eyes are shut, and I feel the tremors all over. A vein bulges on his neck, and I know he’s right there.
I stroke his nipple with my free hand and say, “You give me much pleasure, human. Now come for me.”
With a strangled cry, it happens. I feel Tanner’s whole body convulse and his hips thrust forward. My boyfriend shoots into the cock sleeve, and the connection I have with him in this moment puts me in ecstasy. I stroke and stroke, thankful that this sex toy has a reservoir-tipped end. He fills the clear plastic toy with semen, and I grin in delight. Seeing him orgasm, feeling his body quake with pleasure, and knowing I pulled it from him has my inner dryad going wild. Then, something incredible happens, and sparks fly through my very soul. I become one with the forest at large. Every leaf and root in a one-mile radius suddenly connects to me with paranormal energy, and I transcend to another level of existence.
My tree dome blooms. In the dead of winter, I’ve brought back to life the forest. Flowers burst, falling down from the sky. It’s like an orgasm, but…different. The ecstasy is there, but it’s a float into euphoria, not a fall off a cliff like usual. But it’s equally satisfying, and I can’t describe it in human terms. I don’t shake or lose control.
I just…exist. In pure bliss.
I eventually let go of Tanner, and when his arms come down, he looks up. “Wow,” he mutters, rubbing his shoulders.
“I know.”
“You didn’t have to do all that,” he says with a smile.
“I didn’t.” I wave my branches around and allow the trees to return to their prior state. The bloom is over, and we’re once again surrounded by mostly barren canopies. Then, I shift down to human form, in my jeans and green hoodie. “You did it. You brought me to orgasm.”
He snickers and tucks himself into his pants. “Hardly. I think you did that to me.”
“No, I’m serious, Tan.” Once he’s dressed, I lean in and hold his elbows. “It was…something else. I didn’t…shoot like I usually do, but it felt so…raw. Free-ing. A dryad orgasm. You did that.”
“You’re the one who had your way with me, Mr. Big-Scary-Tree-Monster.” We chuckle and I catch his lips with mine.
“But feeling you in that moment…brought me closer to the forest.” I lean my forehead onto his. “Making love with you is…so much more than the human or dryad in me can comprehend. So thank you.”
“For what?”
“For letting me explore this. For giving me a second chance. For loving me.”
“We were always meant to be here, Kove. Ever since we were little, up until this moment.”
We seal our love with another kiss and the forest shakes around us. I love this man with my whole heart, and nothing in the future will uproot what we’ve been growing all these years.

TANNER
(TWO YEARS AND TWO WEEKS LATER)
“But what ifyou get soup stains all over your sweater?” I ask.
