Recovery

“It’s better you don’t,” she replied. “We don’t have many rules here but you already broke one of them.”

“Leaving a hospital bed?” I asked.

“Having unapproved sex with a dinosaur.”

“That one’s gonna be hard to follow,” I thought out loud.

“It gets easier,” Devina told me, “especially once you understand the reasoning behind it. Sex is important to keep the dinosaurs loyal to us and at the beginning of their training it has to be used as a reward.”

“This particular dinosaur hasn’t been tamed yet,” I deduced.

“Nope. She’s very important to our army. But she hadn’t smelled anyone she liked before you.”

“She seemed to like the taste of your pussy the other day,” I remembered.

“That’s different,” Devina told me, “We’re still researching exactly how dinosaurs differentiate human female tastes but they seem to be generally territorial in their human desires. She would only taste my pussy because I was with you. And she would never taste me if you weren’t there.”

“So they’re only okay with threesomes or foursomes?” I wondered. The thought was absurd and magical.

“Basically. But it’s a rare occurrence. There aren’t many lesbians with dinosaur partners up north,” mused Devina, “and our sex with them is so regulated. We aren’t often allowed to ride them bareback, it’s too distracting to us and to them. To run into another woman naked riding a dinosa

ur in the wild has never happened to me. That’s why my pussy was so wet when I first saw you. It was like you walked out of my fantasy. I mean, I had no idea if you liked women.”

“Neither did I,” I laughed. “I haven’t before. But I never thought about dinosaurs before either. And once it happened…” I searched for the right words.

“You were happy?” she offered.

“The happiest I’ve ever been.”

Devina kissed me on the mouth.

“You’re irresistible,” I whispered.

“It was my biggest fantasy that I would find a woman and a dinosaur to have sex with,” she admitted, “and now that’s it’s happened, I have so many more.”

“Tell me about it,” I said. “When can we do it again?”

“It might be a while,” she said. “Right now we have work to do.”

I grabbed her waist.

“Not that kind,” she said. “When Doctor Durant finds out you got out of bed tonight, we’re gonna be in trouble.” Devina’s face seemed serious, all of the playfulness gone. “Well, actually, I’m gonna be in trouble. I promised to stay away from you, sexually, until you had fully recovered.”

“I’m recovered,” I said with a smile. “I feel great.”

“Still,” Devina said, solemnly, “it was a risk I shouldn’t have taken. When I tell Doctor Durant…”

I felt a pang of jealousy. My mind drifted back to Devina’s hand letting go of mine when Doctor Durant walked in.

“She’ll be disappointed in me,” Devina continued. I had interacted with Doctor Durant for less than two minutes and I could see how she was someone I would want to please. But why was Devina so focused on this? “We can’t afford to lose you.” Devina looked me dead in the eyes. I was immediately reassured. She didn’t have to say it. “I can’t afford to lose you,” she clarified.

“I’m here,” I said, “I’m here.” I took Devina in my arms. “Tell me why.”

Devina took my arm and escorted me down the hallway. We walked in silence, passing room after empty room. My leg brushed against hers. I willed my sexuality to take a break. A million questions wandered through my mind. I asked one.

“Is this a hospital?”

“It’s everything,” she answered, “hospital, board room, office, school, library, gym, distillery, pharmacy, hot house, hatchery.” Hatchery? Of what? I wondered. Too many questions for tonight.
