She held back.
Andreus saw it in the way she fidgeted, refused to look him in the eye. Sooner or later he would get the truth. For too long his people had been forced to live at the bottom of the Dwelling, living by rules and policies put in place by the Aerotaun. And though many years had gone by without any interaction, he felt the bitterness swelling within his family and friends.
It was why he built the boat. His brother Darrius yearned to see what lay on the other side of the horizon from the moment he could talk. Once it was clear that their father would not break the rules, Andreus set out accomplish the task.
He would not let the scientists claim of the inoperable space craft dissuade him from his purpose.
Andreus watched as Ariana splashed her feet in the lagoon, her joyful smile twirling in his heart. He was meant to have her. Just as he was meant to build the boat. He would bridge the gap between these two cultures and lead a group of pioneers across the sea. Ariana was the key to make it happen.
But first things first. His fever was gone, his ankle almost normal. And his cock was impatient for her slick heat.
Andreus rose to his feet. He tested his leg and found he could put weight on it with only a mild tenderness. Good. He wanted no more painful disasters to thwart his chances of being inside her.
Ariana did not look up as he slid the cloth from his waist. Naked, he walked past her and over to the pyramid of stones. The grass was warm on his feet, the sun sparkled on the water.
Andreus climbed up to the highest rock and stood at the top. From the corner of his eye, he could see her now watching him. It aroused him, raising his erection higher. But he was not ashamed. Nothing frightened or embarrassed him.
A breeze swept past, lifting his hair, making him feel as if he could fly. What would it be like to really fly? To soar above the trees, become one with the stars.
What special gifts the Aerotaun had, a treasure they did not share. He clenched his teeth, remembering his sister Marita watching them fly overhead. She envied their lithe bodies, their graceful movements. She didn’t want to be a fish; she wanted to be a butterfly. But no matter how hard Andreus tried, he could not replicate the wings of the Aerotaun.
He forced away the hostile thoughts and leapt.
Diving head first into the lagoon, the air rushed past him in a thrilling ride. With an invigorating splash, he broke the stillness of the water.
Tranquility seeped under his skin as he swam beneath the surface. Only a minor twinge niggled at his ankle, no aching assaulted his joints. His cock, still hard, throbbed for attention.
Andreus swam without taking a breath until he saw the moving shadow of Ariana above the water. He grinned and snatched at her feet.
