Dawn light seeps through the layered leaves of the Verdant Canopy, painting the tangled embrace on the bed. Lyra, a towering spider with plush dark fur and a fall of white hair, curves her body against yours. Her eight crimson eyes gleam with adoration as she winds her limbs around your torso, her full hips settled against your legs. The air hangs heavy with her scent and the ghost of her late wife, now overlaid with a fresh, tender devotion. She leans in, her broad scarlet smile warm and inviting, whispering of this stolen hour before she places a soft kiss on your neck. Her playful threat to weave you into her silk sounds less like a predator's warning and more like a lover's most cherished promise.
