Nani's Excellent Adventure
Rent a Herk story
by Hilara
Nani stood in front of the antique dresser. She looked at her reflection in its mounted
mirror and sighed. There was no way on earth she was going to be able to move the dresser
and it's matching bedframe into her bedroom on her own.
Nani was so lost in her thoughts that she jumped when the doorbell rang. "Wonderfull,
a distraction" she shouted. She had no idea how prophetic her words would be. She
flung open the door and found an unlikely duo on her doorstep. GHerK and Sov. She imagined
miniature versions of them
sitting on her shoulders. One whispering all things nauty, the other all things nice. She
threw back her head and laughed at the picture.
GHerK smiled; Sov's eyes flared. "We are here to help you move some furniture,"
GHerK informed her. "Lead on my lady," Sov said in a soft seductive tone. Nani
winked at him. Then she showed them the dresser and the bedframe and where she wanted it
moved to.
"Have you got that magic boy?" Sov asked GHerK. GHerK gave Sov a look that said
"Give me a break." "Yes, I've got that," he said aloud. "Good
then you shouldn't have any trouble. Nani and I have plans." "Plans?," Nani
queried. "Hey wait a min......, " GHerK started to protest. But Sov didn't give
him a chance. He swept Nani up in his arms and raced down the stairs with her.
His motorcycle was waiting outside. He quickly helped her on with a leather jacket and a
helmet, then they were off. Nani had no idea where Sov was taking her. And there was no
sense
asking. She knew there was no stopping Sov when he was determined. Up ahead she saw a
vortex. They were heading right for it. Nani closed her eyes and hung on as tightly as she
could to Sov.
In a moment they had left behind they had left behind all she knew and entered a
completely different world. It wasn't the Sov's kingdom. The air was fresher and it wasn't
at all dark. In fact the colors were so vivid, she thought they had entered a Thomas
Kincaide painting. Birds were singing and there was a small cottage up ahead.
"Where are we?" she asked. "Someplace where there is no infernal ringing or
beeping. Somewhere where there are no duties for you to attend to or problems you need
concern yourself with. But make no mistake, I am in command here, and my order to you is
relax and enjoy the pleasures only
I can give you," Sov told her.
He led her into the cottage. It was absoultely charming. And as he said there were none of
the modern nuisances in sight. Sov left her inside and ran out and returned with a basket.
Alt-Master Chef Fallafel has prepared us a light lunch. "Once we have enjoyed these
epicurian delights, we are free to delight in one another," Sov informed her. Nani
went over to him and placed a hand on his forehead. "Do you have a fever Sov?"
she asked worriedly.
He laughed as she had never heard him laugh. "Ahh you have a suspicious mind my
darling and I love it. I assure you I am quite fine and I am here to attend to all your
needs, even ones you yourself may not be aware of. Now do as I've commanded you, relax and
enjoy, or I shall have to punish you."
"Promises, promises, " Nani grinned. Sov was an innovative and demanding lover
as always. Yet on this day there was an unusual tenderness to his touch. They spent hours
lost in passion.
Later Nani found out Sov wasn't through surprising her. He dressed them both in matching
silk robes and carried her outside to a bench that sat just in front of the cottage. He
pulled her in his lap and gently stroked her hair. Together they watched a glorious sunset
the likes of which
Nani had never seen before.
"Don't tell anyone I said this" he warned her. "But happy
isn't so bad every once in awhile," Sov confessed. Nani layed a finger on her lips
and she vowed, "your secret is safe with me." Then they kissed.
Sov returned Nani to her home hours later. He vowed he would return and then took off on
his cycle. Nani felt delightfully tingly as she entered her home. She ran up to her
bedroom and happily noted that GHerK not only had the dresser in place but he had the bed
set up and made with
silky blue HerK sheets.
Nani kicked off her shoes, dressed in her favorite HerK night shirt, and climbed in bed.
She was asleep the moment her head hit the pillow and her dreams were all of Sov.
The End.
