“Oh you poor dear,” he said soothingly, using his tail to lift her chin up and wipe her eyes. Because the white of her eyes were red, it made them turn her eyes an even more beautiful blue, like the crystal deep blue ocean. Kaa could not help but be mesmerized by the beauty of them. “My my. You have sssuch beautiful eyesss, preciousss. It makesss the ocean green with jealoussssy.”
Cimmeron blushed and smiled just a little at the compliment. Kaa nuzzled close to her, his coils coming around her shoulders. “I’m ssssorry you were treated thisss way. Thossse foolsss don’t know what a wonderful, tender girl you are.” He then looked at her in the eyes, smiling warmly. “I could be your friend if you would like.”
Cimmeron smiled a little wider, wiping away the rest of her tears. “Thank you, Kaa. It would be nice to have someone like you to be there for me.”
“It is a pleasssure, my sssweet,” he said, coiling a little closer around her.
Suddenly, she became aware of what she was doing and took her hand off Kaa’s back. “I’m sorry. I should have asked before I touched you,” she apologized. “I have a habit of doing something with my hands while I’m talking.”
“Oh I don’t mind at all,” he said cheerfully, scooting his body higher up her lap. “It’s rather sssoothing to me as well.”
She hesitated, then she laid her hands on Kaa’s back, stroking the smooth scales and marveling at his powerful muscles. “I haven’t pet a snake for so long,” she commented thoughtfully. “It’s really nice. I love snakes.”
“Oh, do you now?” Kaa said, his interest sparked.
“Yeah. I remember when they brought two boas to my school when I was much younger,” she said, smiling as she was reminiscing the fond memory. “They were both young and much smaller than you. I held the girl constrictor. But she would not hold still in one place,” she laughed. “She kept moving all over my body, sliding around my waist, up my back, down my chest, around again, and almost around my neck.” She chuckled, then smiled thoughtfully. “I loved feeling how powerful and graceful she was. Snakes are so misunderstood. Many people think they’re so slimy and awful, but they are such amazing creatures. Yes, they are dangerous, but so are other animals. And just like other animals, they all have such grace and strength and beauty, whether their power is venom or speed or camouflage or crushing strength. Why they overlook such amazing qualities is just beyond me.”
Kaa looked at her in amazement. This girl really appreciated and loved his kind. He realized she was much too precious to eat. She would make a perfect and valuable slave to do his bidding when he wanted her to.
“I’m sorry, I’m rambling,” she apologized, smiling sheepishly.
“Of courssse not, my dear,” he assured her. “It’s sssso wonderful to ssssee sssomeone who really undersssstandss my kind.” Then his bright yellow eyes lit up as a mischievous idea came to him.
“Tell me, Ccccimmeron, do you missss the feel of a sssnake around you?” he asked slyly.
“Um, yeah, sometimes. Why?” she asked, wondering if this was going where she thought it was going.
“Well, would you like to feel that ssssensation again?” he asked, sliding a thick coil around her loosely, pulling her a little closer to his face.
She hesitated, thinking, then looked at him with a smile. “Sure, yeah. I trust you, Kaa. You’re my friend now. I know you won’t hurt me. And it would be nice to have that feeling of a snake around me again.”
Kaa smiled widely. “I’m glad you trussst me. And I am going to make it even more pleasssurable than you remembered it to be,” he said charmingly, uncoiling himself from her and examining her, studying where to start first. Cimmeron made herself comfortable, swinging her legs up onto the branch and relaxing her body, smiling. “I’m ready, Kaa.”
Smiling mysteriously at her, he slithered his head to her legs, his body coiling loosely around them, but making them tight enough for her to feel his muscles. Then, using his thicker coils, he wrapped once around her the bare skin of her waist and once across her breasts, squeezing them gently. He moved his way down her arms that were in her lap, binding them together like hand cuffs as he wrapped a few times around them. He then moved his way up to her head, coiling around the back of her neck before resting his head and neck at her ear. All this time, Cimmeron had her eyes closed, breathing deeply, enjoying the delightful feel of him slithering all around her.
“Did you enjoy that, my sssweet?” he murmured in her ear, his tongue flickering at her jaw.
“Mmm, yes. That felt very nice,” she answered peacefully.
