Dasks smiled. There was nothing to cover; he knew her sex was up inside waiting for him. She’s so thin. He would need to make certain she was never hungry again. The feeling of great protectiveness flowed yet again. With trepidation she came forward, her arms across her luscious rounded bumps Dasks had learned were breasts. They bounced a bit as she moved forward and looked large for her slight frame. They were as white as the pictures of the snow Dasks had seen and would shame an Effie flower by far in comparison. He had seen her dusty rose-colored nipples and his mouth felt a sudden yearning to suckle one and tongue the bud. Amy lowered herself into the steamy water. She groaned and Dasks knew it was a delighted sound. Lower she sank until she was covered to her neck. The water began to fizzle around her and swirled while it cleansed her. Round and round it swept over her body making her giggle then gasp. She looked surprised and swatted at the bubbles as they circled her creamy thighs. “Hey. What’s happening?” she cried out as the intensity of the swirling motion increased dramatically and swirled higher under her chin. Dasks pulled her against him immediately sensing her concern. For some reason the water was frightening her. “It’s all right. You’re being washed.” She felt so frail in his arms. “The water washes me on its own?” She was incredulous and Dasks felt her rise to her tiptoes trying to escape the intrusion. “Of course. What else would you use?” Amy gasped suddenly, a small “eep” escaped her lips and she held very still, her eyes widened. “I’ve been violated by water; it went in my…it went up my ¼ Oh my God!” Dasks chuckled when her legs clamped together. “Lucky water. Now under you go so the water can finish and you can eat. Take a breath.” Amy took a shallow breath and Dasks thrust her under. Amy flailed about but Dasks kept her still as the water attacked her matted hair. The strands came to life as they whizzed around her head. He could feel her annoyance with him, but it wasn’t overwhelming and he wasn’t concerned. This was in her best interest after all. Right before she needed to breathe he released her. She came up and gasped in a huge gulp of air. Her hands pawed at her nose and she sneezed a few times. She then tugged at her ears. Perhaps he should have warned her that the water would clean everywhere. Dasks pushed her down again. She stopped struggling and soon enough the water calmed and swirled no more. Dasks released her. When she came up, her eyes were open and she had the oddest expression on her face. “Dasks?” “Yes.” “The water, um, shaved me. Um, all over.” “I’m afraid Castian males have no hair except on their heads. It would tug or get caught on the armor. The water must have seen it as dirt.” Quickly Amy reached up to feel her head. Her hair was longer when not matted and much darker. She breathed a sigh of relief. “Why do you have hair on your head, but not on your body?” “Something from before olden days,” he said, shrugging. “I believe it’s the equivalent of humans having wisdom teeth. At one time they were necessary, but nature just can’t give up its hold on them. I hope you weren’t too attached to having hair in those places. It won’t grow back.” “Ever?” “No.” “How do you know?” “There are a few human females on Dargon. Cobra’s son, Rask, mated with one and he explained a few things to other warriors before we left. Once our healing waters cure you, you will never have the same ailment again.” “You mean Lisa will never have a cold again? Like a vaccine?” Dasks knew the word and nodded. “Yes, nor will Leah ever suffer from the same sickness. Although, healed bones can be broken but are fixed easily enough by a mate or grown warrior aiding a child. You will never grow hair on places human females might normally again.” Thankfully she didn’t
