"Here we are, safe and sound," Raya said. She gave him an impish smile and squeezed his hands. He reluctantly let hers go. Max felt a gentle current of energy running through her strong, warm hands.
At the display case, Raya lifted the glass dome, and Max placed the replica stone inside. Then they both stepped back to admire the gem. Even if it wasn’t the real thing, the jewel was certainly beautiful.
"Though I’m still pretty sure this is just a dream, I’m glad the sapphire is back in its place," Max said.
"Why do you humans keep these powerful stones locked away under glass?" Raya asked.
"What else would we do with them?"
Raya smiled. "I'll tell you one day, when we have more time."
"And when will that day be? I don't believe I'll ever see you again," Max said, and giving in to an overwhelming urge, he stepped close to Raya, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her.
Raya did not respond, and Max was about to stop and apologize. But then she put her hands on his waist, pulled him even closer, and returned his kiss. Max slid his hands down her body and wrapped his arms around her.
Certain she would push him away any moment and glad when she didn't, Max lost track of time. Part of his brain yelled stop, while another part begged for more, more of this sweet creature in his arms. He longed to rub her scent, sweet and spicy, all over his body.
Finally, Raya pulled away with a gasp.
"I'm sorry—" Max began, but she put a finger on his lips.
"Don't be sorry. That was beautiful. I enjoyed kissing you. But we can't, we shouldn't—" She grabbed Max and locked her lips on his again, almost bruising his mouth with the intensity.
He let his hands roam freely over her body, caressing her, and eliciting moans of pleasure.
This time, he pulled away from her.
"Can we continue this at my place? I want, I need more of you. Just a little." He begged as she shook her head. "I promise, we'll only go as far as you want. You can leave anytime."
"No, I've already stayed longer than I should. I have to go now." Max took a deep breath and let go of Raya.
"This is a dream anyway. I'm going to wake up in my bed very soon." And not smelling of sweetness and spice, he thought.
Raya again stepped close to Max and leaned her head toward his. A shiver went down his spine as her breath tickled his ear. He felt her tongue lick his earlobe, followed by a slight burning sensation.
"This is not a dream, and now you have a fairy kiss to prove it. I'd like to stay with you, but it’s time for me to go," Raya said, and with a sad smile, she floated off the ground.
