Page 21 of Orange Lake
“That was my thoughts as well when I saw her,” Coone threw in from the peanut gallery.
“You simply do not go near any body of water. Do you understand?”
He was being serious. Though he looks a bit mad, he also looked worried. Now I understand why they don’t even have picnic tables or pool lounge chair near this beautiful lake. “Okay Zirc. I understand. But we can sw-”
“-No buts!” he cut me off. Waves of concern rolled off him. “Brin, understand that even if there are many shiny things in the water, you do not attempt to take it. Many manasties have died trying to get in the water without any special clothing. Thousands of people have died in this decade trying to get crystals. They are mostly in the uncharted region of this planet. But we have special equipment to do it.”
I get what he is saying. He probably means snorkeling or diving stuff.
“Okay Zirc.”
He looked at me intently. After a minute, he calmed down. He took a deep breath again and after looking at me for one moment, he looked away towards the lake. The first sun is setting against the horizon. I guess it’s almost dinner now.
“This is one of the Purple Tribe’s lost lakes.”
“Zirc!” Coone exclaimed.
Without looking back at Coone, Zirc said, “No Coone. I have to explain this to her.”
Coone was fast. In the blink of an eye, he’s now in front of Zirc. Though not crowding him, he is about two feet away from him. They are still a few dozen feet away from the lake. I saw that Coone’s head is only reaching the top of Zirc’s shoulders.
“But why?” Coone cried out.
Zirc smiled a little at him. I realized this Coone must be a friend because he felt comfortable to let his guard down.
“You said she was a baby. So I have to teach her.”
Coone rolled his eyes at him. He raised both arms like to surrender. “Fine, whatever. Don’t tell me I did not warn you. I already know this so I will head back to the mansion.” He turned his golden brown eyes at me. “I will see you soon.Baby.”
I tried hard not to laugh. He had no idea that from where I come from, baby was a sign of endearment. He thought I’d be insulted. I tried to act as if I’m hurt by frowning at him. At least Zirc thinks I’m like a baby, not dumb. Just need to be thought about things on this planet. Which he really should have done in the first place.
Coone, instead of going away, stepped towards Zirc then placed his palm right on top of Zirc’s pants and massaged him. What the –
“I miss you Zirc,” he crooned.
The corners of Zirc’s lips lifted just a fraction. “It’s not me you miss but my cock.”
Coone laughed out right, transforming his face to that of a young man. It’s like there are two sets of Coone. The change in personality was a bit drastic. His aura also changed.
“Ah you know me so well myfriend.” I can’t help but see that he squeezed Zirc’s cock. Now I can clearly see the outline of his cock that is beginning to tent his thin pants. “Tonight then.”
Zirc just nod his head and turned his attention to the lake.
Then Coone let go and hopped away. It’s not my imagination. He moved or jumped away too fast for my eyes. I can hear him laughing. “Bye baby!”,he shouted because he seemed to know that my eyes were following him.I imagine all the ways I can torture him or make him cry like a baby.
“- a long history of the Purple Tribe.”
Just how many lovers does Zirc have? Should I be worried that I can have a disease? Though Crix mentioned that they don’t carry any sexual diseases. Still.
“Are you listening to me Brin?”
Still… I had an ephiphany.
I realized that Zirc is, in fact, a man-whore! Quite literally a man whore! Though they explained that’s how they find their true mates, how come they can have sex whenever andwhomever? They probably do not know the meaning of monogamy!
“Brin?”
I realized I was looking at Zirc’s fancy leather boots and could see the tip of a small blade on the side. I looked up at him, my eyes fierce. “Are you a man-whore?”
