Queen Astrid burped loudly. She used the stalk of a reed grass to suck the blood on Tong's large arm.
"See? I don't have to bite you!" the woman cackled.
Tong had felt strange. He experienced pleasure of a different kind. It was hard to explain. His men had described the indescribable sensation.
"You coming with us?" she asked him gently.
"Yes... I'm coming with you..." His eyes were closed. He was lying on the sand.
"Yipee!" Queen Astrid clapped her hands. "I'll let you take a short rest!" She danced her way to the men who were busy constructing a raft.
Tong opened his eyes when he was alone. He could still experience the glorious feeling of his blood coming out of his vein in a rush. Queen Astrid sucked forcefully in three beats.
And he would go through it again every other day.
