“And now look at you, sir!” Raven says, holding my next up. “Naked, bar a leather belt, better used as a handle to pull you around and fuck. You’re nothing but a sex toy.”

I growl low at the words and my cock twitches. “That’s sex teacher… student.”

“My apologies,” my student says before raising her sword. “Two, Dante. Raft down the Mississippi, old style.”

I have wanted to do that for years, but business has always gotten in the way. Raven nods respectfully. “Nice. A great choice indeed…”

“And now for the final!” I say, holding up Raven’s list. Our eyes meet, and she smiles back sweetly. I peer at her list, and I read aloud.

“Raven’s third. One day, have a child with the man I love.”

It’s sweet, and our eyes meet again. As Raven blushes, my heart pounds weirdly.

It’s just infatuation.

Only infatuation.

“That’s a good, robust wish,” I say, meaning it.

Raven shrugs cutely and mumbles a ‘thanks.’ As she prepares to read my final wish, she stands tall.

“Okay, and for Dante. The third and final…” Raven then pauses and speaks slowly. “Have a child with the woman I love.”

As she freezes, my distracted mind remembers what I wrote.

We both had the same final wish! And if our crazy deal is set in stone, we will have to have a child.

Together.

Time freezes, and our eyes meetand hold.

We both suddenly look away, and we avoid eye contact. I decide to break the awkward moment, and I jump in fast. “Well, it’s… good we know more about each other.”

Raven nods, and she looks up strangely, as if confused with the universe. I know exactly what she’s thinking because I’m thinking the same.

The universe is playing with us.

“Indeed,” Raven says. “Indeed.”

After jumping down, I walk over, and I lift my hand to Raven. She smiles, takes it, and steps onto the chair and ground before spinning theatrically.

I stare at the old clock ticking in the corner, and it’s likely wise we call it a day. It’ll give me time to think about what’s going on and try to find a path through whatever is unfolding.

“It’s a big day tomorrow, what do you think? Early to bed, early to rise?”

“If I get a bedtime story,” Raven says, placing her hands on her hips. “Do you have any stories?”

“Oh, I have a story,” I say, full of shit.

“But is it thrilling, teacher?”

Think fast.

“As thrilling as there ever was, young student. Now, get in bed before I spank you.”

The fairy shows me her cute butt, and under the wings, it sticks out. It looks incredible, and it also looks edible.

As Raven readies herself for bed in the closed bathroom, I pace next to the fire. Maybe Bianca, my sister, and my grandmother were right… Also, Nonno.
