After two whirlwind months of chaste courtship, Milos invited Bethann to an elegant dinner to tell her he was ready for something more. Over a glass of port, he made his intentions clear.
“My angel, it is the time for our bodies to be entwined. I very much desire to be with you. Are you ready being with me?”
Bethann was indeed ready….in fact, she had been ready for quite some time.
Milos was swarthy, handsome, and European. When it came to him, she would “being” anything he wanted…so long as they were “being” together. Preferably without clothes.
But there were rules. Milos was insistent that they practice safe sex. Naturally, Bethann agreed, wanting to start practicing immediately. The next day, she talked her way into an appointment at the local clinic.
She waited patiently in the exam room, daydreaming about her Milos. His large hands pressing into her soft flesh. His strong hairy arms, taking hold of her pliant body. Her cheeks flushed as she thought about his passionate kisses and the promise of primal desire burning in his amber eyes. She could see the beast within him, longing for something more. She was ready for something more, too.
The doctor’s knock brought Bethann back to reality.
“Hello Bethann, I’m Dr. Huang. Confirming you’re here for a vaccination?”
“Yes,” Bethann smiled. “Thanks for fitting me in on such short notice.”
“So, are you a veterinarian or do you work in a lab?” the doctor asked, readying the syringe.
“Gosh, neither.”
“Bethann, it’s not common practice to administer the rabies vaccine pre-exposure.”
Bethann shrugged, her lips teasing into a sly smile. “You can never be too careful.”
With a stern look, the doctor administered the shot and handed Bethann the aftercare summary.
“The injection area will be sore for a few hours. Come back in seven days for the second shot. Also, avoid contact with any wild creatures until you complete the full cycle. Just to be safe.”
Bethann nodded as she rubbed her arm and reached for her phone to add a reminder and check the lunar calendar. Her stars were truly aligned. The timing was perfect-- eight nights until the next full moon.
