Zaya leans forward and places her hands on the cave wall as I thrust into her. We both moan together, the sound echoing around the cave. I reach forward and hold her tits as they shake wildly with every thrust.
She did wonders on my cock with her mouth, and her pussy feels as incredible as ever. It’s not long before I’m about to cum again. All the pressure returns to my cock, and I start to pull out, but Zaya holds me in.
“No. I want to feel you. Don’t you dare pull out of me. Don't deprive me of what it feels like to have a hot-as-fuck Kiphian Prince shoot his delicious load inside of me.” She reaches back and squeezes my balls tight, and I know she'll get the flood that she demands any moment.
I moan into her mouth as the pleasure extends from my cock throughout my body. I explode inside her, stars shooting outward from an expanding universe, coating both of us in viscous molten cum as we writhe in tandem and ride each other to ecstasy. I slap her juicy ass and a pool of my cum leaks out of her in puddles over our skin.

ZAYA
Iopen my eyes to a new dawn. We slept out the remnant of the night curled up together at the entrance to the mine. It was bitterly cold, but Taurek had insisted it was a safer location after the roof nearly came down on our heads.
There is a thin line of red on the horizon where the sun is due to rise and the snow-covered valley before us is a uniform gray in the lingering twilight. The faint purple glow of the roxolite deepens where there are shadows.
I can barely force my limbs to move. I’ve gone too long without enough oxygen. I envy Taurek and his mountain breeding. If he's suffered at all on this trip, he hasn't let it show. A memory of him carrying me up this valley springs into my mind. And to think I wanted to handle this trip on my own. I have needed his strength so often.
I feel Taurek stir next to me. “Morning,” I say with a smile.
He wraps his arm around me and pulls me in tight to his warm body.
“Do you think we should go back in and collect more samples?” I ask.
Taurek is still half asleep. “You would really go back there?”
“I'm just so afraid I forgot something.”
“You don’t think you have everything you need?” He props himself up on one elbow, and I shrug my shoulders. “We collected a lot, Zaya. The mine is clearly unstable. I wouldn’t want to go back in unless you’re certain you’ve missed something.”
“I don’t really think I have,” I concede. “But what if I did? This is Hanai’s life we’re talking about here, it’s no small thing. It would be my fault if she died because I’d overlooked something.”
“Zaya, we’ve done the best we can. Surely it’s better to get back with what we have than go back in there.” He indicates the dark shaft behind us. “And possibly die ourselves. What hope would Hanai have then?”
“You’re right. Of course, you’re right. I have to have faith.”
“It’ll be okay,” he assures me. “I trust you.”
“That means a lot,” I tell him. “And I trust you, too, Taurek.”
“Then take my word for it. We're ready to get out of here. Let’s get down out of these mountains and save my little girl.”
The sun is beyond the horizon now, casting the snow field a radiant glowing orange.At least the weather is holding,I think as we set out on our homeward journey back the way we came.
Going downhill is easier this time, without the rivers of ice and piles of slow to ensnare us. The biggest problem is trying not to go too fast and ending up in a pile of snow at the bottom of a precipitous drop.
But while I’m looking forward to getting down from these heights and not fighting every day for survival, I am also reluctant.
Down the mountain signifies an end to our journey. What will things be like when we get back to the palace? Will Taurek want his little human helper around then? I may be only 24, but I'm plenty old enough to know how quickly things can change when real life steps back in. Taurek is the Prince of the Mountain Kingdom. I am a nobody from nowhere. We’ve all heard this story, and it rarely ends well.
This bubble we’ve been in is bound to burst once he gets back to life at court. How could he ever accept a meaningless human at his side in his grand palace? I should think about going home to Tlisan and picking up my own life. It will be good to see my friends and family again.
I can’t seem to stop my mind from spiraling, and at the bottom of each spiral is the same ending. Rejection. I should never have allowed my feelings to get involved. I look up at Taurek’s fit body as he walks ahead of me. I let my lust get the better of me, and then my heart gets hurt. I can't believe how naive I can be sometimes.
By midday, we end up on a path that allows us to walk side by side. Taurek looks eager to get home. I find my legs trudging along, lost in thought, only to see him several paces ahead when I realize.
“Hey, wait! Did you forget about me? I know I'm small, but still…”
For a split second, he looks annoyed. “Sorry. I guess I’m just eager to be heading back. And hoping the chordata we left tied up are still alive. We’ll break soon when we find a spot.”
