to take me, I want you.”
    He growled and bit her neck while he used one hand between them to stroke her clit. She screamed at the combination of pleasure and pain but gave herself up to blinding waves of sensation as her body began to change.

    Chapter Five
    Her temperature ran hot and cold for what seemed like days. She lay in Rimeer’s arms as her skin hardened and Hassoi made over her aspect.
    “What is happening to me?” Ceelie’s voice was weak.
    “Hassoi is changing you to match me, so that we can have a long and happy life together.” Rimeer stroked her hair away from her face and smiled down at her.
    Ceelie noted the concern in his eyes and reached up to caress his face. Her arm was the same pale shade it had always been, but the texture had changed. Her skin was stronger and had the shine of a new leaf. Her nails were a pale green, but that was the only concession to the change that she could see at first glance.
    “You have to meet with Ambassador Keeln today, or he will never leave.” She smiled as she stroked his hair. Her hand picked up textures that she had missed before the change began.
    “We will engage in the negotiations together. Are you able to sit up?” Rimeer put his arm behind her.
    She struggled and got herself upright with his help. She was back on the mossy platform, but she was still naked. The biggest change that she could see was that her nipples had a slight green colouration.
    Rimeer did not want you to change. He loves the way you look now.
    Ceelie blinked. Why are you talking to me directly now?
    You are my newest avatar. Why should I not speak to you?
    But Rimeer is your avatar.
    I am a planet, Ceelie. I could make the entire population my avatar if I wished. Now, stop being silly and attend to your mate.
    “Ceelie? Your eyes changed shades.” He was giving her a worried frown.
    “Hassoi was speaking to me and calling me silly.” She smiled.
    Relief washed over him. “Let’s get you dressed and we can return to the clearing.”
    The gown he held up was far more elaborate than the one from the day before.  It was green and studded with gemstones around the upper edge of the bodice and the wide band of the waist. “What are these?”
    “Jewels of Hassoi. They are found in the deepest recesses of the planet and Hassoi has released them just for you. The only other folk here wearing them are the headman and woman of each village.”
    That surprised her. “How many villages are there?”
    “Ninety-four. We will have to visit them all to introduce you to your population.”
    He smiled as she stood and shimmied into the gown. The fastenings were some light lacing at the back that she managed with only a few short tugs.
    “Why are all the women here wearing trousers and I get a long gown?” Her curiosity on the matter was genuine.
    His grin was positively mischievous. He lifted her by the waist, pressed her up against a tree and lifted her skirt. The bark of the tree softened against her back and her eyes widened as he pressed her skirt up beyond her hips.
    With a slight shift of his hips, he was pressing against her and her body was creating copious amounts of honey to assist him. He slid into her and stared into her eyes the entire time. The hard thrusts brought her orgasm to her in short order and he pounded into her with jerking motions until he groaned and jetted inside her.
    When they had both resumed normal breathing, he slid out of her and pressed a long kiss to her neck. “That is why you wear the gown.”
    She chuckled weakly and held onto him. “Good reasoning. I was just wondering.”
    He laughed and walked with her to the edge of the spring, bathing his seed from her thighs and her juices from his cock. Rimeer stood and clothed himself in the same garb as the evening before.
    Once again, he took her in his arms, but this time, she was able to watch as he sped them through the woods.
    It is a gift I give to my people. The woods part for those who have drunk from
