Otter Creek You say you don't like him

sorry for the delay! If/when they frick frack, could we fade to black? I'm not exactly comfortable writing explicit scenes.

Rhys moved further along her body, causing a strange sense of anticipation to rise in her. For a moment, she feared getting pregnant before realizing that though she had never been in heat yet, she couldn't possibly be. Liri would certainly notice if she were. 

That brief fear gone, the healer curled her own head to rest against the part of his back that she could reach. His touch was reassuring, almost tentative. The thought of teasing Rhys about it crossed her mind, but she feared spurring him into hurting her.

Liri may be willing to sleep with him, but she didn't know much about him. Perhaps Rhys could be violent if provoked. It seemed safer to keep quiet and allow him to change the pace of things at his own time.
