Too much central heating can be an unnatural thing. It CAN be pretty damn sexy though.

Oh, and yes, I am aware that the line spacing in this story is kind of ridiculous, but every time I try and edit it, it just goes back to this, so you'll just have to live with it I guess.


David hurried into his

apartment block out of the swirling snow. He made his way quickly to the

elevator, shedding lumps of snow as he did so. It was far to cold inside the

large grey block of concrete that housed about a hundred people to linger. The

elevators thick metal doors opened and he stepped inside. He pressed the button

for the top floor, and adjusted his balance as the elevator lurched into life,

carrying him up ten floors. It wasn't the fanciest of apartment blocks, but at

least it wasn't those massive towering, piss stinking things in the urban

districts. These apartments were quite cheap, but they were privately owned and

well kept. The apartments were spacious, and didn't smell of damp. If you had

any problems, then the landlord would deal with them quickly and

professionally, with very little fuss. A rare find, one might say, especially

for a city like Manchester. It was also in easy distance of the University, so

it had a number of students renting rooms. Although David had finished

university last year, His room mate still had a year to go in her four year

course. David didn't mind staying though, the rent was reasonable, and he'd

grown rather fond of the flat. He had decided some time ago he'd stay here

until he could afford to move into a house of his own. The lift lurched to a

stop at his floor, so he stepped out, sidestepped the oncoming mother with a

pram, nodded a good afternoon and proceeded to his door. He took out his key

and turned it in the lock, opening the door and stepping inside. It was

wonderfully warm inside, some might think a little too warm. But when you share

a flat with a snake, you can expect the thermostat to be cranked up in the

winter. As David removed his hat and scarf, he thought about how reasonable

their landlord had been about the whole thing. The middle aged gecko understood

perfectly, and said that reptiles, and people living with reptiles would get a

reduction on their heating bills during the winter.

David hung up his thick,

heavy, 1950s style woollen long coat and headed into the living room. His room

mate, Sandy, was coiled up on her special round chair with a laptop resting on

her coils. David always felt a funny lurch in his stomach whenever he saw her.

She really was stunningly beautiful, and Dave couldn't understand mammals

prejudice against snakes. He was a human, and he thought that they were some of

the most beautiful species there were. Out of all the snakes he'd met, none of

them had been the evil, conniving psychopaths some people made them out to be. To

say he had a secret crush on Sandy would be an understatement; he was head over

heels for her. The problem was that he never had the courage to ask her out,

especially after they had been living together for nearly five years. She

looked up with her beautiful yellow eyes as he came in. She was wearing a

cashmere jumper, and nothing much else. Snakes without legs rarely wore

anything below the waist. Whatever they had down there wasn't visible anyway.

When they went out they did have these peculiar shoe things. It was like a

flexible rubber sole they wore on their coils that came into contact with the

ground. During the winter it had a sort of thermal shell over the top.

Currently, Sandy was just in her cashmere jumper. What with being a

"pure-blood", she didn't have breasts (or nipples for that matter), and often

joked about how much money she saved because she didn't need to buy bras.

"Cold outside?" she said

"Why don't you go and find out for yourself?" David replied with a sarcastic

grin

"Oooooh no! The snake said, giving a false shiver. "There's far too much snow."

"You just use the winter as an excuse to make me go out and buy stuff."

Sandy stuck out her long forked tongue.

"You try being cold-blooded for the winter!"

"Well you know..."

"Dinosaurs."

"What?"

"They think Dinosaurs where warm blooded. Not Snakes!"

"Fine. Maybe I won't give you the special Scale wax I thought I might get for

you on the way home."

Sandy blinked as David reached into the bag he was holding and pulled out a

blue pot. On the side it said 'Winter Scale Wax: Slinky Snake. Warming Wax'.

"But because you don't seem to be in a very agreeable mood."

"No! I am in an agreeable mood! Look!" Sandy said, closing the laptop and

placing it on the coffee table.

"No no. You're just saying that now." David said, feigning insult.

"Awww come on! Pleeeease?!" Sandy said slithering off her chair "Come on Dave!

Stop being so mean!"

"I know that face..." Dave said. "...That's the face you use when you're about to

pounce on me."

"Is not!"

"Is so!"

"Stop being a twat!" she shouted with a grin and jumped on him, or at least

tried to. Dave stepped out of the way and ran in to the living room, laughing.

"Dave! Come back here!" Sandy shouted after him, grinning just as much.

She chased him into the living

room and tackled him by the sofa. He fell onto it, holding the wax out of her

reach. She wrapped her coils around his arm and pulled it closer.

"Hey! No using crazy snake strength!" David laughed

"Says who!?" Sandy said with a snort and grabbed the pot of wax "Now say it!"

she continued

"No!"

"Say it!" Sandy said, twisting Dave's arm in her coils

"Ow! Ow ow ow! Okay okay!"

"Saaaaay iiiiiiit!"

"Decepticons Superior, Autobots Inferior."

"And don't you forget it!" Sandy said, letting Dave go and sitting upright.

Dave got up and adjusted his t-shirt and smoothed back his long auburn hair.

"Oooo...You got the nice one!" Sandy said, her eyes shining.

"I know what you like." He said with a smile

"Thaaaank yooou!" She sang and hugged him.

A small voice at the back of David's head seemed to be screaming at him at this

point. It was saying _"Ask her out! Ask

her out you fool! Do it now!"_ but Dave ignored it. He doubted if he would

ever ask her, but that was alright by him.

The next day, David woke up

to the sound of Sandy going frantic. He opened the door to his room just as she

steamed past.

"What's the matter?" he asked, sleepily.

"Mating cycle!" she cried from the kitchen.

"Wha? In the winter?"

David knew that reptiles didn't have periods, but went through a mating cycle.

Sandy always locked herself up in her room when this happened. Mating cycles

only happened during the spring and summer, mainly because reptiles usually

hibernated during the winter. Sandy had also said the reason she locked herself

in her room for the three days a month of the mating cycle, was because it made

her "Horny as fuck, and likely to have sex with anything that smelled remotely

male.". David had done some research into the mating cycle, and apparently it

caused females to regress to a more feral state, and begin producing a

pheromone that caused males to become sexually attracted to the female, and

caused other species to (bizarrely) take on certain aspects of the female's

race. This had been all very interesting, but David couldn't help but wonder

how they found this out. David flipped his feet into his flip flops and

wondered into the apartment in his pyjamas. Sandy was wearing a dressing gown

and was rushing about looking for god knows what.

"Maybe it's because you have the heating up so high?" he suggested, scratching

his head

Sandy paused for a moment with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Maybe..." she said

"How long is it before the cycle begins?" he asked

"Three days I think, but I shouldn't be having one now!"

"Calm down! It's not the end of the world. You always act like this before a

cycle, but you always have everything you need....whatever that happens to be."

"Yes, but that's during the spring and summer when I'm supposed to have

cycles!"

"Well, I'm going to have a shower. If you need anything, I'll go to the shop

afterwards and get it for you."

"Oh thanks! I'll make a list."

David shook his head, and grabbed his towel. As the bathroom lock clicked,

Sandy stopped her rushing about and slumped into her chair.

"Why can't I just tell him?" she said aloud. While it was true that she was

about to go through a mating cycle, and everything was becoming attractive, she

had had a thing for David ever since they met. She used every opportunity she

could to be in close proximity to him. And as far as she could tell, he liked

it. Maybe he had the same feelings for her? The problem was that she had no

idea what a human thought was attractive. Certainly, she couldn't see what was

attractive about to lumps of fatty tissue attached to your chest, but

apparently human males liked that. Also, human females seemed to be attracted

to excessive muscle mass, and while Sandy could see the sense in wanting a

strong male, the idea did seem old fashioned.

A female snake looked for

intelligence, loyalty and wisdom in a mate. David seemed to be all of these

things. He was very intelligent; having a degree in Chemistry was quite an

achievement. They had also been living together for nearly five years, and Dave

had had more than one opportunity to go and live on his own, but he had opted

to stay with Sandy. He was also wise for someone who was only twenty one. He

often made profound statements and held lengthy theological discussions with

people he met on the train, or on the bus. All in all, a perfect mate. Sandy

blushed at the thought of them actually...you know...mating. Maybe she should ask

him? Right now? Sandy felt an odd feeling well up in her chest. Was it

excitement? She didn't know, but before she knew it, she was getting up and

going over to the bathroom door.

When Sandy knocked on the

bathroom door, David thought she might want something.

"Yeah!?" he called over the water.

Sandy said something but he couldn't quite hear it. He turned off the water.

"What did you say?" he asked

"I...I have something I want to tell you." She said.

Something in her voice made David suddenly feel very...excited? Excited at the

possibility that was suddenly swirling through his head? He grabbed his towel

and wrapped it round his waist. Then he unlocked the bathroom door and stuck

his head round the corner. Sandy was (standing?) there; she looked rather

nervous and slightly embarrassed. She was fidgeting with her hands rather a lot

too.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Well...I...uhmm...I kinda....well...I think I love you." She said

David blinked. His heart had just done a somersault and his brain fizzled.

"Wh...wha..."

"I can understand if you don't feel the same way!" Sandy said quickly "Its just

if I don't tell you now, then I'll regret it the rest of my life!"

David thought she had never looked so beautiful then she did at that point. Her

yellow eyes were round and hopeful. She felt the same way about him as he did

about her! This was wonderful and perfect!

"You know..." he said, watching with delight as she leaned forwards slightly, eager

for his response. "There's a human saying that goes 'Actions speak louder than

words.'."

"What's that supposed to mea..."

Sandy was cut off as David grabbed her and kissed her right on her lips. Sandy

was so shocked she nearly choked. She felt dizzy, she felt excited, she also

felt her snout part slightly has she relaxed into the kiss. His arms encircled

her shoulders and back. She lifted her arms up and placed them on his chest,

her tail curling around his legs all the way up to his waist. They stayed like

that for some time, nearly a full five minutes, just enjoying the kiss. When

David finally broke the kiss, it was a few seconds before Sandy opened her

eyes.

"Ahhh...so that's what that saying means..." she said quietly.

David smiled, and pulled her into the shower.

A few hours later, Sandy lay

on her bed, face down. David was sitting cross legged next to her in his

dressing gown, massaging the scale wax onto her back and tail.

"Mmmmh..." Sandy said with a soft smile

"What?" David asked

"Feels really...nice." She said with a sigh.

David smiled. All they had achieved in the shower was cleanliness and more

kissing.

"Well, I can only assume I'm doing something right then." He said

"Nnnnrrhhh..."

"What?"

David was quite shocked when Sandy's thick coils wound around his waist and

held him still. "What are you...oh. Oh shit."

Sandy's pupils had narrowed to virtually invisible slits in a sea of yellow.

She hissed at David, it was a primal sound. Although David found himself oddly

attracted to it. He shook his head, feeling suddenly confused. Why was he

confused? Then something dawned on him.

"Crap...Pheromones..." he said, and

then smiled. There was nothing he could do now. He guessed that this whole

situation had accelerated the mating cycle. He felt her soft, yet powerful

coils slide up between his legs. His head felt light, and he gasped when Sandy

pressed her tail against his cock, which was suddenly very hard. He reached

down and undid his dressing gown, letting it fall away from him. Sand pulled

him close to her, coiling more and more of her lengths around him. David

thought there was something wrong with his vision, everything seemed oddly

clear and sharp. If there were a mirror nearby, he would have seen his eyes now

mirrored Sandy's, albeit with wider pupils. He gasped when he felt her mouth

close around his neck and shoulder. His eyes closed as a shiver of ecstasy shot

up his spine when her teeth pressed against his skin. He clutched her back and

pulled her close to him, relishing the feeling of short, hypodermic fangs,

breaking the skin. Her scent was heavy in the air, thick and sweet. Once Sandy

had her male where she wanted him, she began grinding her coils against him,

particularly her vaginal opening against his cock. She gave another long slow

hiss, her saliva running down his back. He gasped has he felt her warm, wet

passage caress his throbbing member. He licked her neck and gave a soft moan,

and then moved his hips; Sandy stopped moving so he could locate her pussy. As

his member slid almost effortlessly inside her, she let go of him with her,

such was the exquisite feeling.

Her mating cycle had made her

almost hyper sensitive; she clamped her hot walls around his member, making

both of them moan loudly. She felt him pull slowly out, and slide back in,

forcing her sex juice out. The thick sticky liquid ran down her coils and

David's thighs. David closed his eyes, white hot pleasure surging through him.

He opened his mouth, and out came a hiss, matching Sandy's. Her coils pressed

around him, massaging his now sweaty body. Her scales glistened with her heat,

the sensations building in their primal lust. David cried out, and arched his

back, Sandy pressing his member hard into her. She wanted more and more of the

hard length. She pressed him harder with her coils, and suddenly, she climaxed.

It was so quick and sudden she was winded. Powerful waves of pleasure washed

through her, her whole body quivered. David moaned loudly as her convulsions

pressed against him, bringing him to the edge and over it. His hot, thick seed

jetted into her as her thick cum oozed from her pussy. David buried his face in

her chest as he was gripped with a second, powerful orgasm. He gasped for air,

as he shivered with pure, undiluted ecstasy. Sandy growled, and bit him hard on

the shoulder as a third orgasm washed over her. Blood and saliva trickled down

his back. He let out a groan and slumped against her, completely spent. She let

out a long low hiss, and hugged him, gently, to her. In the incredible glow of

such powerful multiple orgasms, a small voice said at the back of her mind

"My male...Mine!"
