"Wait!" Reed interrupted her, suddenly feeling the need to address something. "Katuri, have you been sleeping on the floor all this time?"

"Well, I don't have a guest bedroom, as you can see," Katuri replied with a sarcastic smile. "Now hop in, Reed," she added impatiently, frowning.

"No! I can't agree to that. It shouldn't be like this. You've helped me so much, and I'm sorry, but I can't let you sleep on the floor. It's unacceptable. I should be the one sleeping there,"Reed babbled frantically, shaking all over. In his fevered mind, it seemed like the right thing to say.

"No way, Reed! You're talking nonsense! Go to bed; this isn't the time for discussions!"

"But it's not right. We should switch. It's your house, and I'm not going to bed unless we switch!" Reed insisted.

Finally, Katuri snorted with laughter. With an amused smile, she shook her head. "Aren't you as stubborn as you are cute? Here's what we'll do: neither of us is going to sleep on the floor. We'll both fit in there." She grinned and pointed her chin toward the inglenook.

"Oh, yeah, okay…" he agreed before he could even think about it, then laughed a little awkwardly and added, "If you think that's better."

"You tell me," Katuri answered, grinning. "Get in; I'll put out the lamp."

Reed took the blanket off his shoulders and tossed it onto the chair, as did Katuri. Then he quickly crawled onto the bedding, sliding under the furs, and moved aside to make room for the orcess.

During that brief moment when Katuri was standing by the table, Reed was lost in frantic thought as he realized that, for the first time in his life, he was going to sleep with a woman. Of course, he knew they'd literally be sleeping next to each other, but he was naked, Katuri was also barely clothed, and they would be in a very tight space.

Is she going to initiate something with me?he wondered with a mix of excitement and nervousness. He wanted this so badly, but he was afraid he’d fail because of his lack of experience.Maybe Katuri would go easy on me? She knows I'm still sick. Or maybe I'm just delusional. Maybe she doesn’t even want this. Maybe I’m just hallucinating everything, and she's not even real.

But he knew he wasn’t imagining it when he soon felt a gentle tapping on his leg as Katuri tried to feel her way in the darkness.

"Oh, there you are," she whispered, crawling behind his back as he lay on his side, facing the stove wall. "I hope you don't mind cuddling with a hideous orc. I'm afraid I'm too big for you to have a comfortable spot." She chuckled softly.

"Of course not. And don't say you're hideous, it's not true at all. It's the very opposite of that," Reed muttered, feeling twice as inflamed as he was before.

"Oh, that's so nice of you, Reed," Katuri answered, seemingly amused, but Reed sensed that she wasn't so indifferent to his words.

He could barely suppress a moan as he felt Katuri's breasts pressing against his back and her thighs touching his buttocks and the backs of his legs. Reed thought he could almost make out where Katuri's nipples touched his skin. His heart was pounding, and he had trouble breathing. His cock throbbed impatiently, and Reed could only hope that Katuri wouldn't discover his erection. Or that she would. Both possibilities were exciting in a way.

Katuri slid her right arm under his head, and with her left, she covered them both with furs. Next, she hugged Reed, her hand moving from his chest to his stomach.

And then... her fingers accidentally skimmed his rock-hard cock.

The orcess gasped in surprise, and for a split second, she reached for the tip of Reed's cock, as if to make sure she was touching what she thought she was touching. He moaned in surprise.

"Whoa! Sorry, Reed! Um... I wasn't expecting that," she breathed out into the back of his head, then giggled softly. Her voice was amused, but also contained a hint of surprise.

"It's okay. I'm sorry that I—" Reed didn't finish. He felt as if his ears were so hot that they would probably glow in the dark. But otherwise, he was full of excitement.

"That you like to cuddle with me? Aww, don't apologize for that, Reed. It's so nice to see... hard proof of it!" Katuri giggled again.

For a moment, there was silence between them, broken only by their breathing. Katuri stroked and massaged Reed's upper body, but avoided going lower. Her touch triggered a variety of feelings in him. It was soothing, calming, exciting, and titillating at the same time. He felt safe in her embrace and a little wary, but in a good way. He was exhausted from the fever, but too excited to fall asleep.

"Hey, Reed," Katuri whispered in a lowered voice. A pleasant shiver ran down his spine. "I was just wondering, do you by any chance have some orcish blood in you?"

"I don't think so. Why?" he asked in consternation.

She giggled a bit hoarsely at first, then said sensually, "Um, it's just an observation that some of your body parts look... much larger than I'd expect from a human. And one of them definitely has orcish proportions. You know what I mean, right?"

"No, I'm not sure I do," he answered a bit jokingly, but he was pretty sure what she meant. He had always known that he was significantly bigger down there than the other boys in the village—he had seen their endowments when they were at the lake. But he had never paid much attention to that fact, other than to take note of it. He knew that he was taller than them, so he didn't consider it unusual. Katuri's comment, however, made him feel great about it for the first time. He was aware that she had complimented an important part of his manliness in a way.

"Liar, liar!" Katuri laughed softly into the back of his head. For a brief moment, she hugged him even tighter. "Hah, but Ican't tell if you're just teasing me or if you're really that innocent. Either way, I like it."

Reed went silent, unable to think of a witty reply. Obviously, he wasn't experienced in talking about sexual topics. He was thinking of what he could answer when Katuri suddenly said, in a different, much more careful tone, "I hope you know I'm just messing with you a bit? You're not mad at me for joking around like that, are you?"

"Of course, I'm not, Katuri. I think I like these kinds of jokes," he replied, putting his hand on hers to confirm his words.
