I let out a small moan as I wake up. How did I end up in my bed? Sudden flashbacks of last night fill my mind. I don't remember everything, but it is enough to grasp the situation. From the light passing through the blinds, I guess the sun has risen long ago. A quick glance at my watch tells me it is way past noon, a few hours from sunset. What the hell! I can't possibly have slept this much... I don't feel feverish anymore. How could I go from being unable to process any thought to feeling perfectly well? Was it the hypothermia or something dwelling in the cirque? Things don't add up... I get out of bed and change clothes to wear something warmer.
"Good afternoon sweetheart. Quite the long sleep, wasn't it?" My mom says to me while she prepares herself to go to work.
"Yeah," I respond. "I- uhm," I stop to scratch the back of my head. "I got real sick during the return trip. Don't know from what, though." It's better not to tell her I paid a visit to the cirque.
"Hope you're feeling better now. However, next time, try to not leave your rifle on the passenger's seat."
I easily feel her annoyance through those words. A mistake like this could easily cost us our place on this outpost. I look down and answer quietly, "It won't happen again..."
"I'm sure it won't," she says austerely. Mom approaches me and drops a kiss on my forehead. "This doesn't mean I don't love you, honey." With an affectionate smile, she looks me in the eyes before opening the front door and leaving. And there she goes for two weeks; miners don't have an easy life. I stretch my arms and start preparing breakfast. Maybe dinner would be more appropriate?
I take the first ration I find and heat up the meal. It doesn't taste good, nor bad, but it prevents me from starving. I think back to what the manager told me yesterday. Should I really pay the doc a visit? I feel fine today... There must have been some benign disease infecting the water, and officials didn't want to manage an outbreak, no matter how quickly it resolves. Obviously, you always remember the bad times incorrectly, thinking it wasn't so bad after all, but even after what I went through, I am ready to go back to the cirque and enjoy another bath.
The turquoise waters, the gentle breeze, the lush vegetation... The enticing animal orgy. Wait, what? I furrow my brows in confusion and try forgetting this thought, in vain. Something heats up near my groin. Why am I fixating on this over everything else?! Seeing all those creatures, particularly the reptiles, savagely fucking each other to no end... Their sleek and glossy pink shafts, shaped to perfection in the pursuit of impregnation. Flawlessly curved to fill the female's vaginal cavity... I feel my pussy suddenly twitch. No. I vigorously shake my head in the hopes of putting a stop to this sickening string of thoughts.
My face reddens as I see my reflection in a window. Stop gushing about random beasts' cocks, you're not a freak! I clear my throat and throw the ration's packaging into the recycling bin. I stop to look at myself in a mirror. My hair isn't in the best condition. I should probably cut it; it's getting way too long for me. Something catches my eyes. A dark, wet spot around my crotch. Is it really... I slip my right hand in my panties. The moment my index touches my lips, an electric tingle rushes through my nether regions. I can't believe this is happening. My whole face blushes again as I look at my fingers. Strings of transparent, slimy liquid form as I spread them apart.
I am left agape by the discovery and, more than everything, ashamed of myself. Fucking hell Elisa are you back to being a horny teenager?! Am I actually fantasizing about a lizard's penis?! This can't be real. There is now way this is happening. Without thinking twice, I run to the bathroom to take a cold shower. That will get my head straight.
The shock of the freezing water flowing down my skin paralyzes me for a second. Exactly what I need. I shut the water off some ten minutes after. Now squeaky clean and shivering, my thoughts have gone back to normal. I'm not a freak! I sigh in relief. Better go pay the physician a visit, just to be sure.

"Your blood sample indicates high levels of sex hormones," the doc pauses and looks at me. I briefly see my reflection in his glasses. "Are you on your period?"
"I've had it two weeks ago," I answer anxiously. Talking about this makes the warmth in my abdomen return. Being alone in a room with a man... My heartbeat quickens in my chest. Despite his old age and medical white blouse, I find something deeply sensual about him. Behave yourself, Elisa.
He looks at the results again before speaking, "Any unusual behavior?"
This is getting really embarrassing, "Since I woke up today, I, uhm." How could I even say this with a straight face? I must pick my words wisely to avoid dying from shame. "I have higher arousal than usual..." I'm not sure I'll be able to see him again after this. I can't stop picturing him sitting naked, a throbbing boner waiting for my tight vagina. I swallow my saliva.
