I think I shoved the sword too far down my throat. Its been burning ever since my last act about an hour ago. I stopped for my usual meal. If you can call mere scraps a meal. Anyway. On the way back to my tent I noticed something in the sky. There were no clouds for once. Good, I'm sick of it raining all the time.

And the orange yellow glow of the moon told me it was full.....Makes me wish I could bring him out with me to see it....But.....I promised I'd keep him inside away from public eye.....that was the only part of the deal.....anything to get him out of that cage.....

Awfully quiet tonight too. Wonder why....

I make it to my tent finally. Now I bet you're thinking camping tent right about now right? Nope. Its much larger like a house. Since I make more money in the shows then the other attractions. They gave me this to keep all of my things in. My snakes, fire equipment, my tattoo tools. You know, that kind of stuff.

I open the flap to my 'home' and to my surprise no ones there. He should be here....I run out immediately thinking a few guards got to him first. Oh god if that ever happened again I would have to shoot myself...I promised him....

"Sieben!" I shout while running. As fast as my legs could take, damn they burned from the running. My heart pounding so fast I thought it was going to burst in my chest. I force myself to stop when I reach the lake that cut off our shows from normal civilians. Having to lean on a tree with one hand to it. Breathing hard. "Sie....." I panted feeling ashamed.

"Herauf hier...." I hear him giggle in the sky. I look up quickly at the tree I was leaning on. And behold at the very top hidden under the leaves was my little Sieben. His hair was starting to finally grow back from where it was torn out. Nice shade of copper brown. It started to reach his mid back by now. Sure he looked like a girl with that haircut but at least he pulled it off. He waved with a wide smile. Obviously very happy to see me again. He pushes himself off with ease and lands like a cat on his feet. Hugging me tightly with obvious affection. "Rai!" He said my name, happy to speak it. It was his first English word I taught him after all.

"Sie." I hug back. "Don't scare me like that..." I speak into his ear closing my eyes.

"Eh?" He whines confused.

"You scared me....I thought they got you again....." I pull back holding his hands. His claws were coming back nicely too. Nice pearl white look to them. About an inch long now. "Cmon, you shouldn't be out here in the first place." I try to drag him by one hand back to the tent but he keeps his footing.

"Aber......" He whimpered. Okay I only know a few German words...Aber aber.....oh that means but...now I remember.

"Whats wrong?" I ask looking at him now. He points to the moon behind us.

"du kannst den Mond sehen......" He looked sadly at it. I'm not sure what he said there but the way he spoke it and how he looked....

"You don't get to see the moon often do you?" I watch him sit down on the grass in the baggy bondage jeans I gave him. He refuses to take them off now I swear. I sit by him after a bit of quiet. He just shakes his head no. Able to understand me, just not able to speak it for some reason. I think thats how he wants it. I look up at the sky with him. "Okay...five more minutes...."

About two minutes after...He sits closer next to me. Laying on my shoulder comfortingly. I smile at the affection and wrap an arm around his shoulder in return. Bringing him closer.

Sadly the time goes by too quickly. I have to bring him back in SOMEtime. Or else I'll be out of  a job...I carefully pick him up so not to open more of his healing wounds. He has this happy face on him, running back playfully. Much faster then me by the time I make it there hes already inside. Something seemed on his mind though. I just sat down on the sofa and picked up a magazine to read. All is good so far. That is until I feel his fingernails touch at my toes. I look from the top of my reading and see him there on the floor.

"Rai..." This time the way he spoke it was in question. Wanting my attention.

"What is it Sie?" I try to keep my english basic so he'll understand....I blush suddenly when he scoots onto my lap. Holding onto my shirt and putting his face under my jaw. Hes never touched me like this before...."Sie?!" He quickly backs away, tucking his ears down. He fiddles with some of his hair, distracted by something. "Are you scared to talk?" He just does the same no head shake, this time saying nein. He makes his mouth look like hes going to speak, but we do have quite a language barrier.

"Bist du gerade?" He asks with this puppy dog look in his orange eyes. I'm of course confused and I think my face shows it.  He gets up with enthusiasm and goes looking through some junk I had on a table nearby. He comes back sitting at my feet, this time he has a ruler in his hand. "Bist du..." He points at me, then makes a straight line with his finger along the ruler. "Gerade?" Im still confused so he does it again speaking slow. I point at myself.

"Am I...."

He shakes his head happily when I get it right. But the last word I couldn't get. He does the finger thing again and points at me. "Sorry Sieben I don't understand...."

He sighs and puts the stick away. Looking at me right in the face.

"Do you......" He tries to speak English with difficulty. Having to think up the right words. "Like girls?" He finally manages to speak.

"Am I straight?" I almost shout that back in surprise but I don't want to make Sie feel offended. I immediately blush at his question. I'm sure all men do when their sexuality is brought out. Another affirmative head shake from him. "Um...I guess....girls are okay....but...." I see a glimmer of hope in his eyes when I say that. To tell you the truth Ive never once found a girl attractive.....But my new companion...hmm...."Cmere Sieben.." I pat the couch.  He obeys and sits on his knees. Having to think about this for a few seconds...

I slowly grab the back of his head and bring him close. And for the first time have my lips touch somebody else's. He freezes at first but quickly relaxes, slowly but surely kissing me back. His hand in tension grabs at my shirt collar, giving it a tug every often while we kissed. A sharp pain courses through my mouth. I break away quickly and bite my bottom lip. Touching it to reveal light red drops on my fingers.

He bit me.....

I start to panic to my injury since it wont stop bleeding but Sieben grabs my wrists. I know he doesn't mean to cause me pain but....

He tries to kiss at me again but it stings now. I groan in my lack of comfort until I feel something warm touch the bite. I open my eyes and I feel his tongue touch my mouth again. Purring in my lap.....purring...Softly licking my wound until it stopped. I feel his tongue go down my mouth and pass my own . I can taste the warm salt taste that blood brought. I cant explain why, but when he started to do that. I felt myself growing hard under him. I moan in his mouth pass his fangs.

He pulls away from me, a thin trail of my blood on his lips. Our mouths connected....He finally opens his eyes and his orange aura in them was alot brighter now....Sensually straddling his groin on my hips. I grab his sides until that tingly feeling he caused me stopped and my senses came back. He mews, taunting me. Resting his nose under my chin. I start to touch around his back. Enjoying the purrs he nuzzled me with when I touched him.

I lost control of my functions after that. Like I was watching a movie...Next thing I know....

We're naked on that very sofa. Touching each other gently....I was on top of him...Moving my hips and pushing myself into him. His soft cries and whimpers were all I could hear. Burying his face in my chest. Grabbing the skin of my shoulders and panting with me. Shaking from the pleasure under me. Hot tears going down his face. Seeing them with the blush in his face just made me want to make love to him more. Nearly lost it when I felt his legs wrap around my waist. Didn't think his skin was that soft...My mind is still a fog but I remembered one thing....He moaned my name when we came....

And I tell you....Its the greatest feeling in the world....

I look down on him after the release. His eyes shut tight and his breathing hard. His poor body heaving from it...Sure he was built..but he was so tiny compared to me. So small...But then his arms go around my sides and touch my back. Stomachs touching in the afterglow. Now I dont know much German....but I'm glad I know one saying...I lean into his ear...

"Ich liebe dich...."

His eyes brighten and he holds me tight. Burying his face in my neck crying tears of joy. I smile to myself....its not the normal type of love...

But Im happy to share it with him....
