Koke gazed at her in open attraction. He swallowed as he realized that what he had mistaken for brightly colored fabric was just the same leaves of the plant that she had offered to him.
She came back holding a good many of the colored leaves that thankfully glowed blue. She let them go and with a suggestive wink she turned her back to him.
Stiffly Koke got up off the sponge bed. He didn't even have to reach out for the colored leaves as they had already found him. They wrapped about his hips and in between his legs in a surprisingly firm clasp. What kept them from simply falling off though?
He had so many questions. He looked up to see her peeking back over one bare shoulder at him. Koke flushed and her smile deepened.
"I've already seen everything man from above. You have no cause for shame man from the land."
Koke's flushed condition only deepened and again he felt her laughter, but her face was full of passion. She turned her head back and started to walk forward.
"Come land man and see the realm of Undersea."
"Undersea?" Koke asked.
"Yes. It is time that you met my father."
"Your father?"
"Yes he is the King of our colony here."
Koke groaned at the realization that he was living within the confines of a fairytale. She was a Princess!
She turned back to him with a speculative look that took all of him in before she definitively said, "And you are a Prince of men."
Her meaning was clear, but Koke's reaction instead of continued embarrassment was one of anger. He gestured around the cave room, "I don't understand any of this! How is this possible?"
She nodded consolingly, "All your questions will be answered."
Koke reached around and felt at his back at the scars there, which felt almost completely healed.
"You saved me. Why?"
She stopped and regarded him in-depthly for a moment before saying, "I saw something of value in your eyes and so I decided to claim you."
Koke blinked and uncertainly asked, "Claim me?"
She nodded her head confidently, "I am a princess and I have chosen you to be my mate. Now come."
Koke stood where he was slowly shaking his head no.
"I don't understand."
She came back and Koke watched with trepidation as she came alluringly closer. She looped her arms around his neck as she pressed close. Her lips closed over his and he lost the fight to remain consciously apart from the fire to his senses that she was.
"I desire you. You desire me. What more could there be needed between mates?"
