“No idea. But I like to come here when I visit for the equinox to escape my family.”

“I like it.”

“Good. I’ll bring you here whenever you want, Blossom.”

I release my hold on Daisy, and she floats away sinking into the water until it reaches her chin. She tilts her head back and submerges her hair and flowers. When she lifts her head, the flowers are gone, floating in the stream, and her hair is slick and dark, plastered to her neck and shoulders.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you without your flowers.”

“Do I look different? Is it good or bad?”

She’s so cute when she’s unsure. She nibbles on her lower lip and to ease her worries I wade over to her and suck her lip from between her teeth and nip at it.

“You look beautiful no matter what, Daisy. Flowers or no flowers.”

The tension evaporates from her expression, and I press another kiss to the tip of her nose. I want to kiss every part of her, the curve of her neck, the point of her ear, the tip of her breast. In time. Since most of her is currently under water—and I can’t hold my breath for that long—I’ll have to wait till we get back to the tent.

There’s a ledge under the water, and I pull Daisy over to it. Sitting I prop her on my lap, a knee on either side of my hips. Her bare pussy presses against my cock and it throbs at the pressure, and I moan.

“Keep that up Blossom and I’m going to have to bend you over the edge of the pool and punish you.”

Her expression becomes wicked, and she grinds into my cock harder. My eyes roll back into my head and every thought vacates my brain.

“Promise?” Daisy whispers against my lips.

This female is insatiable. I must have altered her brain chemistry the first time we had sex because she seems to be addicted to me now.

My arms wrap around her and hold her still, stopping her from torturing me anymore.

“How about you just sit still for a few minutes and relax with me?”

Dexterous fingers slide through my hair and trail the length of my horns, sending tingles down my spine, even submerged in the hot water. It’s soothing, yet pleasurable, making my body—all but my cock—go limp.

“I needed this. Dealing with my family is always exhausting.”

Daisy kisses my cheek, jaw, and neck. Light delicate kisses conveying affection and tenderness. Just like her. Delicate, tender, affectionate. Better than me in every way. I’m not worthy of her, but that isn’t going to stop me from accepting what she gives.

Satisfied that I’m thoroughly destressed, Daisy settles against my chest, her cheek on my shoulder and nose pressed into my throat. I think I could die happy right now. Daisy naked and cradled in my arms, her bare pussy snug against my cock, not another soul in sight, surrounded by peace and quiet. I wonder how long we can remain before someone, or something ruins it all.

A loud squeal and chirp come from the branches overhanging the pool, followed closely by the fluffy body of Delphi the ever-intruding sprite.

So that was what? A whole two minutes? At least it’s only Delphi. She bounds through the air and no lie, belly flops into the hot spring. Apparently, I’m not the only one who knows about this secret place. Good thing Delphi only talks to Daisy and me, she can’t tell anyone how to find the hot spring.

Daisy sits up and giggles watching Delphi do rather impressive strokes through the water. She looks a little bit like a wet racoon, but in a cute way.

“Did you follow us out here, Delphi?” Daisy asks, while, sadly, slipping off my lap to join Delphi in her swimming.

“No. Delphi find hot water on her own. You follow me. It’s okay, I’ll allow it.”

A bark of laughter bursts from me and echoes through the empty forest. If Daisy only knew the similarities between her and Delphi. If I didn’t know they couldn’t understand each other, I would think their personalities had rubbed off on each other. They’re both adorable, funnier than they think, loyal and vegetarians.

I let Daisy swim around and play with Delphi, watching from my spot on the underwater bench. Marveling in the perfection that is Daisy’s backside, as well as her gently pointed ears still wearing the gold cuff I placed there, and the gold bracelet on her wrist. A primal sensation washes over me seeing her in my gold.

We wade around the water for at least another half hour. Delphi demonstrating her masterful water abilities and then spraying us when she shakes off like a dog.

Daisy and I stand naked at the water’s edge as we dry. My internal heat warming our bones and drying us from within. I may take small advantage of the situation and steal a few rated R kisses before redressing and returning to the festival.
