" I let her in my mouth. What will this experiment hold for her – what will she find in the flesh of my tongue, the crest of my lips? What will I discover in this uncharted experience? How much of what it means to be human will sway deep in my mind like a ship. I see her eyes are open, those green unhuman eyes, watching, looking at me, but not. Her mouth is alive. I suck on her bottom lip, surrender my teeth. She makes a noise that I could only interpret as arousal but in the weeks I’ve known her I’ve never heard her display in utterance. To feel she is human now is a lie, I must be with who she is. I feel her mind crackle on mine as our foreheads touch, I feel what is between her eyes. We lie down on the bed and she takes off my boots. Her hands are my body temperature. We embrace each other, cradle the warmth between us. "
