t the taste, and lapped it all off his
hands quickly. "That tastes good." he said. "Like ocean
water."
"I'm glad you like it." I said. "I like yours,
too."
Lar said, "I had wondered what it would be like, you
and me. I was--cur-i-ous?"
"Curious, yes." I agreed. "Me, too."
"I think I want to do it again, soon." Lar said.
"Anytime you want, my friend." I replied, and kissed
him intimately, and again felt his tongues wrap around
mine.
Lar looked at me. "You would take me as a prena?"
he asked.
"Prena?" I asked. I knew the term. A young Lati
male or female left his own village and joined another,
taking a mate apparently chosen for him or Miori's at that
time. They called the new addition a "prena".
"Yes." Lar said. "I was told by my mother and aunts
that it was time for me to become a prena. They
suggested a village for me where I would be welcome, but
I chose to come here. I hope you will take me as your
prena." He gulped, looked at me intently. "If you do
not..."
He didn't have to elaborate. Prenas rejected by the
village they went to were outcasts, doomed to spend their
lives alone.
"Yes." I said, kissing him. "I want you to be my
prena."
