“Hey, are you awake?”
Groaning, Will cracked his eyes open, greeted first by the pitch blackness of his sleeping pod in the gauntlet runner, then by the faint glow of Gallica’s wings as she fluttered just over his chest. It was difficult to tell when her wings fluttered so fast, but the fairy’s face appeared contorted with discontent, and though she was the one addressing him, she seemed unable to meet Will’s eyes.
“Yeah,” he replied, propping himself up on his elbows so that he could better regard his companion. “What’s the matter? Can’t sleep?”
Gallica sighed, her shoulders slumping a little. “Yeah…I tried, I really did! I think I’m just feeling - feeling restless, or something like that. We’ve still got a day or so to reach Brilehaven, too…”
“It gets a little claustrophobic…” Will conceded, hoping that Gallica got the implication as he stared at her through bleary, sleep-deprived eyes. The fairy had acclimated fairly well to the general lifestyle of the tribes, but in times like this, the elda couldn’t help but be reminded of the wide gulf in habits between the two of them. This certainly hadn’t been the first night that he’d been roused out of his slumber by her restless mind, and as she fluttered around, seeming to think through something, Will suspected that he knew what Gallica was about to ask him.
“Well, now that we’re both awake,” Gallica said, placing her hands on her hips and ignoring the way Will’s eyes narrowed in sleepy annoyance. “We should do something to pass the time and blow off some steam, right? And, well, there’s one thing I can think of…”
There it was. Subtlety wasn’t one of Gallica’s strong suits, and three minutes of dancing around her intent had apparently been more than enough for her. Thus, without waiting for Will’s assent, Gallica turned her back to him and quickly unbuttoned her leotard, peeling the miniature garment down and off, tossing it onto the wall-mounted ledge in their shared sleeping pod where she typically slept. Will took a moment to admire Gallica’s naked form, glimmering in the darkness from the glow of her wings, glancing over her modest breasts, the tiny patch of burnt orange pubic hair adorning her pelvis, every millimeter of her soft, pink skin. The fairy flushed a little under Will’s attention, but she soon smirked and struck a pose, shaking her cute little rear at him.
“Like what you see?” Gallica teased, winking at Will and twirling in place to give him a full show, brushing her hands across her breasts, cupping her crotch and letting out a little moan as she did so. She was right on the money - Will did like what he saw, and his body made that nice and clear, as he felt a stirring in his crotch, already beginning to strain against his pants.
Peering down towards Will’s lower body, Gallica took notice of his growing arousal, and her expression grew lustier. Fluttering closer to Will’s face, she reached out to touch his cheeks, licking her lips as she stared him down.
“Someone’s getting a little presumptuous,” Gallica accused, her voice pitching down a little, growing huskier and more authoritative as she eased into character. It was something that Will had asked of her, the first time they connected on this level, and though it had taken a few sessions for the bubbly fairy to zero in on exactly what Will wanted out of their little roleplay, by now she knew her role quite well, and putting it on was like sliding back into her leotard.
Squeezing her arms together to accentuate her modest chest, Gallica fluttered back a little, crossing her legs and rubbing her thighs together.
“You know how this goes - I’m gonna need a little warm-up if you expect me to help you out. So get to it.”
Pushing himself into a rather cramped seated position given the narrow dimensions of the gauntlet runner’s sleeping pods, Will reached out to Gallica and gently took hold of her, careful to avoid her wing joints, essentially just pinching her between his thumb and forefinger to keep her from squirming around too much. The redhead fairy stifled a squeak of surprise as Will grasped her, swallowing it down to keep from breaking immersion, and rested her arms on his thumb. The elda stole a moment to take in Gallica’s features, looking her up and down in his hand, before spotting Gallica’s look of impatience and re-focusing on the task at hand.
With his other hand, Will extended an index finger, carefully stroking it across Gallica’s cheek, dragging down to her chest, brushing across her miniature pink nipples, already hard with arousal. The fairy let out a soft gasp of satisfaction as he made his way down her body, her shoulders shuddering in anticipation as he pressed just above her crotch, tracing a little circle on her lower abdomen, relishing the opportunity to tease her a little bit.
“Mmmmh…pick up the pace, Will…you don’t want to keep me waiting, do you?”
Mollified a little by Gallica’s prodding, Will obliged, sliding his index finger down to her thighs. In tandem with his thumb, he carefully spread Gallica’s legs, noting that she was already dripping wet - the sheer volume of it made him wonder if this hadn’t been the entire reason she’d woken him up in the first place, but he supposed it didn’t really matter in the moment. Now that the fairy’s sex was fully exposed to him, Will granted Gallica’s wish, gently pressing the pad of his finger against her pussy, shifting ever so slightly from side to side, lubed up by the product of her arousal.
Just this much contact fired Gallica right up, as the fairy’s grip on his thumb tightened, and she squirmed in his hand while he teased at her pussy, panting heavily and moaning, her entire body flushing pink as Will worked her over. His touch was imprecise by necessity - the size difference between them precluded any more finely targeted work on her - but the shotgun method worked wonders on Gallica nonetheless, drenching Will’s finger with her juices as he rubbed against her, and she lasted only a couple of minutes under his touch before cutting things off.
“Alright, alright, that’s enough of that,” Gallica gasped, slumping forward a little in Will’s hand, her legs twitching. “You’re such a brute, just mashing away at me, no precision, no finesse…”
“Was it too much?”
“It was adequate,” Gallica said curtly, though her crimson cheeks belied just how much she’d actually enjoyed it. “Here, let go of me so I can show you how it’s done.”
Will opened his hand, and the fairy fluttered down towards his crotch, humming a sweet little tune of excitement as she did so. Despite his fatigue - and the residual irritation of being shaken awake in the middle of the night by Gallica for this, of all things - Will’s own arousal was plain as day, clearly evidenced by the tent he was pitching in his pants. Gallica regarded her target with a put-on look of disdain, shaking her head as she turned back to Will, pressing her fists against her hips.
“Looks like somebody’s raring to go,” she observed, floating down to land on his waistband. “And you seemed so tired before…”
“I’m awake now.”
“That much is obvious. Take these off.”
Floating above him, Gallica observed as Will lifted his hips to slide off his trousers. The first time they’d done this, before Will had made it clear what he wanted the dynamic to be between them, the fairy had valiantly attempted to remove the garment herself, stalling out after undoing the knot holding his pants in place. Now, it was natural for her to order him to handle it himself, his thick, firm cock springing out as he shoved his pants down, nearly smacking right into Gallica, who dodged out of the way just in time.
“Watch where you’re swinging that thing,” Gallica growled. Leering at the obstinate obelisk of arousal in front of her, she was momentarily captivated by it, her eyes widening a little as she watched it twitch and throb. After a moment or two, she snapped back into character, letting out a huff of annoyance as she reached out and squeezed Will’s engorged tip between her tiny, dainty hands, eliciting a groan of pleasure from the elda. Pushing forward, Gallica dropped her full body weight onto Will’s cock, pinning it between her crotch and his abdomen, her eyes rolling back a little as she pressed her cunt against his shaft.
“Keep your hands at your sides,” Gallica ordered. “Sit there and look pretty for me while I’m working, and maybe you can learn a thing or two about properly pleasuring a fairy.”
Will did exactly as he was told, watching in silent arousal as Gallica passionately humped his cock, dragging her cunt all along his shaft and smearing her slick juices nearly from tip to base, keeping him plenty lubed up for the ride. The girl was remarkably quiet once she was in the throes of her aided masturbation, putting all her effort into getting herself off - her legs were spread wide to properly straddle him, her thighs squeezing tightly against his shaft, her fingers digging into the firm meat upon which she was perched to keep herself upright. She kept her eyes fixed on Will throughout, her eyes half-lidded with arousal, her wings fluttering and twitching with every thrust of her hips. The elda was utterly captivated by the sight, not daring to look away, hardly even blinking, lest he miss a single moment.
“Enjoying the show…?” Gallica gasped out, her face growing smug as she noted the flush in Will’s cheeks. “You’d better be. I’m doing all of this for you, you know…you’d better be grateful for it.”
Will smartly chose not to point out that Gallica had been the one to wake him up, lest he pop the balloon and incite the fairy’s true wrath. Instead, he kept his mouth shut and watched, groaning with pleasure as Gallica pulled herself closer to Will’s tip, and pressed herself tight against him, wrapping her arms around his cock as the pace of her humping increased. He could tell that she was close - the veneer was slipping as the fairy focused more on her own pleasure than on the show she was putting on, and her noises of pleasure were finally beginning to slip through her lips as thin, breathy moans, in time with the grind of her hips.
After just another minute or so of this, Gallica let out a quiet, strained whimper of ecstasy as she came, squirting her juices all over Will’s cock. She bucked her hips sharply several times as the wave washed over her, her eyes rolling back, her entire body tensing up and trembling until the orgasm passed. Exhausted, Gallica toppled over, and Will extended a hand to gently catch her, splaying her out on his abdomen to give her time to recover.
“Thank you very much for the show,” Will said, carefully reaching down to stroke Gallica’s hair with one finger as she recuperated, her chest still heaving as she caught her breath. “You were beautiful, as always.”
Still clutching her chest as she struggled to regulate her breathing, Gallica nodded in response, her eyes cracking open just enough to leer up at Will.
“It…it wasn’t a show…” Gallica hissed out. “I was just…making up for what you couldn’t do. But…”
Gallica pushed herself up into a sitting position, wiping her sweat-drenched brow with the back of her hand.
“I suppose you did do an adequate job of prepping me, and this cheeky cock of yours felt pretty nice to ride…perhaps that’s enough for you to have earned a reward.”
Will perked up at that, his cock twitching behind Gallica at the thought. Glancing over her shoulder at his tool, she gave him another withering look, pursing her lips.
“Getting ahead of yourself again, huh?”
“After a show like that, how could I not?” Will countered, feeling a bit brave and desiring to fire back, in order to stoke the fairy’s flames. “It’s what you wanted me to see, wasn’t it?”
Gallica’s eyes narrowed, and Will’s heart fluttered a little as he got exactly the reaction he’d been hoping for. Rising up to her feet, the fairy walked her way up Will’s chest until she was standing right on his sternum, placing a hand on his collarbone to keep herself steady. With her other hand, she reached out to his jaw and pinched a little bit of it between her thumb and forefinger, leaning in until her face was just millimeters from his.
“Sounds to me like someone’s fishing for a punishment,” the fairy purred, trying her absolute hardest to project confidence and control. That she was a half-foot-tall butt-naked fairy standing on Will’s chest worked pretty heavily against her, but the elda found her valiant efforts on this front both endearing and deeply arousing.
“Guilty as charged,” Will replied, nodding solemnly as he confirmed his conviction. Gallica smirked, placing her hands on her hips and floating back towards Will’s crotch, spinning around to observe his stiff, aching shaft from all sides. Holding the tip with one hand - what she could grip of it, anyway - Gallica pulled Will’s cock to the side to give him a smug, self-satisfied smirk, fluttering forward to press his cock back against his abdomen.
“Pretty pathetic to be this open about it, don’t you think?” Gallica taunted. She alighted down on Will’s cock, pressing her feet down against the underside. She didn’t drop her full body weight back down on him - her wings kept her afloat just enough that she could move and manipulate her feet across the elda’s shaft, relishing the whimpers of pleasure that escaped his lips as she did so.
“Haaah…Gallica…feels good…”
“That’s more like it,” Gallica said, licking her lips as she rubbed against Will’s cock. “You’re a lot prettier when you’re falling in line.”
Gallica maintained her deliberate, teasing pace on Will’s shaft for a couple minutes, shuffling up and down from tip to base, occasionally hunching down to use her hands, or place a feather-light kiss on his glans, eagerly sampling the elda’s pre-cum as it beaded out of his tip. The taste of it seemed almost intoxicating to the fairy, and she repositioned herself so that she could drink up more of it, her shoulders shuddering a little with excitement.
“Mmmmmmh…what a lovely little gift for me…” Gallica commented, running her hand down her chest to smear Will’s pre-cum across herself. She rose back up to a standing position and lifted just a millimeter into the air once more, dragging her feet across his shaft as she floated forwards and backwards, her eyes glimmering with excitement as she watched the elda squirm under her touch. Will’s hands were tightly balled up at his sides, his chest beginning to heave a little, Gallica’s light touch driving him crazy. He wanted more - he needed more, and the smug little fairy could see that plain as day. She allowed herself to drop back down, rutting her pussy against Will’s shaft and peering up at him, fully in control.
“Gallica…please…”
“Hm?” Gallica responded, reclining back and shimmying her ass against Will’s cock. “Do you need something from me?”
“More…I need more…”
The fairy tapped her chin, a devilish grin growing on her face. “Not very specific…you’re going to need to tell me exactly what you need.”
“You…I need to feel you…all over me…please, Gallica…I can’t take it any more…”
Gallica rolled off of Will’s cock, lying next to it and wrapping one arm around the shaft to squeeze against her side.
“Hm, I don’t know…not especially convincing…”
Will’s eyes shut - it took everything in him not to buck his hips against Gallica, every last bit of willpower not to simply grab the fairy and rut against her to finish himself off.
“Please…Gallica…I need your help…I need you to make me…ghhhh…make me feel good…you’re the only one for me…”
Gallica’s cheeks flushed, and her veneer cracked a little - it seemed she hadn’t expected quite such an earnest proclamation from the young elda squirming underneath her. To her credit, she managed to regain control in seconds, and finally, finally Will’s begging was enough for her. Floating upwards, she lifted Will’s cock back into an upright position, then gave the very tip of it a soft, sultry kiss to jumpstart his fluid production. Once Will had provided adequate lubrication, Gallica lined herself up next to his shaft, wrapped her arms around the thick tool, and squeezed herself against it, letting out a quiet sigh of satisfaction as she did so. Angling forward so that she could have a clear view of Will’s face while she worked, Gallica peered up at her partner and offered him one more command.
“You’d better be nice and vocal for me now. After all, I don’t do this for you often…”
With a beat of her wings, Gallica slid up Will’s shaft, and she began using her entire body to jerk Will off in earnest. All the elda could do was watch, and immerse himself in the unique pleasure of a full-body masturbation from his fairy partner, offering up a symphony of pants, whimpers, and moans as she worked him over. Gallica loved it when he made his pleasure loud and clear, and he could see on her face just how much she was enjoying the soundtrack, her eyes wide and sparkling, tongue flicking out to catch his tip whenever she reached it. It wasn’t particularly surprising, but Gallica had excellent body control, able to expertly modulate her pace as she saw fit, her wings fluttering and beating to keep her steady as she dragged herself across Will’s cock.
She’d started with just her arms, but as Will’s pre-cum began to really drench her, Gallica wrapped her legs around him, too, letting out some quiet moans of her own as she began to grind her cunt against his shaft, redirecting some of his pleasure back on herself in the process. Even though this was the main event, however, the fairy saw fit to continue teasing and tantalizing her partner - she could read his signs perfectly, and thus knew exactly when to back off and take some of the edge off of his arousal, and when to press forward and drive him back up the wall. It may not have been every session that went this way, but the two of them had done this enough that Gallica knew all of Will’s weak spots, and manipulated them with the deft hands of a master.
“Haaaah…aaaahhh…Gallica…oh, God, Gallica…”
Will’s legs shook from the intensity of the fairy’s handiwork, his breath hitching in his chest as he fought to endure as long as he possibly could. Gallica had drawn him right up to Heaven - the last thing he wanted was to send himself careening back to Earth so quickly. The fairy’s work made it a difficult task, however, and the longer she worked him over, the more he could feel the pressure building at the base of his cock.
“How’s that feel, hm?” Gallica breathed, her tongue lolling out to lick across Will’s frenulum, sending shockwaves up his spine. “I can see that you’re trying really hard to endure…that’s pretty cute, but it just makes me want to break you down faster.”
The fairy’s declaration made Will shudder in anticipation, and she quickly made good on her promise by adding a new dimension to her movements - in addition to fluttering herself up and down, Gallica spun herself around Will’s cock on downstrokes, sliding smoothly across his skin thanks to the thick layer of pre-cum serving as a lubricant between Gallica’s torso and Will’s shaft. The added motion made the elda’s head spin, and his cock throbbed and pulsated uncontrollably, threatening to drive him out of his mind entirely.
“Nnnnnnnhhhh - Gallica, Gallica, I can’t, I’m -”
“Nope. Not yet.”
All of a sudden, Gallica completely pulled away, watching in amusement as Will continued to spasm in place for a moment before his body realized that it had been deprived of the fairy’s touch. Panting heavily, he peered down at Gallica, utterly disoriented.
“Wh - what…?”
“You were about to cum, weren’t you?” Gallica observed, placing her hands on her hips. “I’m having too much fun with you for it to be over so soon.”
“G - Gallica - ack!”
Will wound up to protest, but the words caught in his throat when Gallica wrapped her legs around his cock once more, hooking her ankles together to create a surprising amount of pressure and sliding herself up and down right at the base of his cock. The elda balled up his fists at his sides, gritting his teeth as he endured another fresh wave of pleasure washing over him, dragging him back up to the peak of his arousal, only for Gallica to break away again after just a minute or so, this time openly giggling at the way Will went limp underneath her.
“Yeah, yeah, that’s it…” Gallica teased. “Good boy. Now you know who’s really in charge here…”
With a positively diabolical look on her face, Gallica dove back in, and settled into a consistent, nerve-fraying rhythm - the fairy would latch on to his cock in a new configuration, using just her legs, or her arms, or even just her hands as lightly as possible, and she would pull Will back up to the brink of orgasm before laying off, leaving him teetering on the edge but never tipping over. The process was excruciating for the elda, the constant edging driving him insane, but the longer it went on, the more he could feel himself beginning to truly enjoy it. He had been the one to propose this arrangement to his traveling partner, but Will hadn’t imagined he would end up descending to such depths. He’d unlocked a frankly frightening talent for Gallica, and she had taken to the role better than he ever could have imagined.
But he wanted to cum. No - he needed to cum, desperately, to the point where it was no longer a matter of endurance or hitting the spot or anything like that. Gallica had driven Will beyond the threshold of reason, and as she pulled away from him yet again, his base instincts won out over rationality.
“How’re you holding up?” Gallica teased. “I bet you’re dying for me to finish you off - hey, are you - gah!”
Throwing caution to the wind, Will reached out and snatched Gallica out of the air, careful not to crunch her wings in his grip. While the fairy futilely struggled against him, he brought her back to his crotch and slid his cock into his grip against her torso, holding her tightly against him the way she’d done for herself before. Letting out a shuddering groan of pleasure, pre-cum pouring out of his tip, Will began to use Gallica the way he saw fit, slowly rocking his hips upwards to masturbate himself against her.
“Ghhh - Will, hey, come on - this isn’t what I agreed to - ahhhn -”
Despite her verbal protests, the sensation of being used purely for pleasure like this seemed to strike at a base part of Gallica’s brain, and she soon became a much more active contributor, licking and kissing along Will’s shaft as he jerked off against her, though she kept a sour expression on her face to put up the veneer of protesting his treatment of her. Will, however, paid none of this any mind - he was completely lost in his own pleasure, relishing the opportunity he’d snatched to decide his own fate. All he wanted was to reach the mountaintop as quickly as possible, and the consequences could be sorted out afterwards.
Gallica’s renewed participation, fortunately, sped up the process substantially - she’d wrapped her arms and legs around Will’s cock again to guide his thrusting, grinding her sopping wet pussy against him to claw back some pleasure from him, and seemed on the brink of her own climax in time with her eldan partner. With just a few more aggressive, desperate bucks of his hips, Will’s eyes screwed shut as he finally, mercifully tumbled over the edge of the orgasm that Gallica had denied him, firing out an absolute torrent of cum, so quickly and so forcefully that it nearly hit the ceiling of his sleeping pod. Instead, the strings of semen came down all over Gallica, coating her from head to toe in Will’s sticky product, so thick that it weighed her wings down, seeping into every crevice of her body.
The wave subsided, and Will collapsed onto his back, utterly drained. He set Gallica free of his grip, and the drenched fairy toppled forward onto him, gasping for air as she endured the shockwaves of her own orgasm. Clutching her hand to her chest, she peered up at Will, wiping some of his seed from her face in the process.
“Wow…” she breathed, shaking her head in awe. “You came so much…that was…really…”
Gallica trailed off, and for a moment Will worried that she’d passed out. Instead, a fire sparked in her eyes, and she lifted herself up to her feet and began aggressively stomping all over Will’s abdomen, absolutely fuming.
“That was unbelievably rude!!!” Gallica snarled, glaring furiously up at her eldan partner. Admittedly, the impact of her rage was somewhat blunted by the way Will’s cum was flung off of her every time she moved, but she plowed forward nonetheless, marching her way up his chest to point an accusatory finger directly in his face.
“You said you wanted me to d - dom you!!” Gallica accused. “And then - then all of a sudden you’re snatching me out of the air and humping me like a - like a dog! What happened to your manners, huh!?”
“I - I’m sorry, Gallica…” Will murmured, mollified by the fairy’s righteous indignation. “I just - I lost control…it just felt so good, and I couldn’t help myself…”
“Hmph,” Gallica huffed, folding her arms and turning up her nose at Will. “You’d better be sorry, ‘cause if you pull something like this again next time, you’re really gonna regret it, you hear me?”
“Next time, huh?” Will replied, smiling. “I suppose you’re not that mad after all.”
Gallica’s face flushed, and she turned away, pouting, her anger momentarily put out.
“W - Well, I said that I would stay by your side, no matter what…and it did feel nice to be desired so much that you couldn’t help yourself…”
Fluttering up to Will’s face, she placed a hand on his cheek and leaned in towards him. At first, it looked as though she was going in for a kiss, and Will closed his eyes in anticipation, only for Gallica to instead smack him right below the eye with her fist.
“But ask me first next time!!!”
Suppressing the urge to chuckle at Gallica’s righteous indignation, Will offered a smile in response instead, rubbing where the fairy had hit him.
“Sorry, sorry…I promise, I’ll be more polite about it…”
“Hmph. Good.”
Crossing her arms with a huff, Gallica turned away from Will for a moment, but she was unable to maintain the facade, and turning back to the elda, she placed a feather-light kiss on his upper lip, her face flushing deeply as she pulled away.
“I…I love you, Will.”
The proclamation almost seemed to make steam rise from the top of Gallica’s head, and she attempted to make a quick escape, only for Will to cup her in his hand and pull her back to his chest, enduring the resulting sticky mess. She was dedicated to him, but he was just as dedicated to her, too, and no amount of mess would keep them separated. Not now, not ever.
“I love you, Gallica.”

The gauntlet runner was quiet the next morning, its occupants spread out within the cabin and across the deck. As Will sat at the strategy table, going over the map of their path to Brilehaven with Gallica, their newest crewmate made his presence known, lightly tapping the captain on the shoulder.
“Spare a minute for me at the watchtower, lad?”
Heismay’s expressions were always hard for Will to read - his eugief features made it look as though he was always smiling a little, even when discussing matters of grave importance. The way his eyebrows seemed to knit together and the request for a more private venue, however, implied that this would not be a frivolous chat, and the pair followed Heismay up to his makeshift quarters atop the watchtower with apprehension, Gallica nervously alighting on Will’s shoulder when he sat down in the tent across from the eugief.
“Is, uh, is everything alright, Heismay…?” Gallica offered, fidgeting in place while their teammate took a long sip from his cup, licking his chops afterwards.
“You two are aware of the benefits of eugief physiology, yes?” Heismay replied. “We are spry and nimble, our small bodies allow us to access spaces other tribes would have difficulty with, and, of course, we have utterly impeccable hearing. Why, I can hear everything occurring on this ship of yours, even when we’re in motion.”
His left ear twitched, as he gave Will a pointed look, and the elda realized, eyes widening, what Heismay was getting at.
“Everything, lad.”
“Oh, no…” Gallica gasped, covering her face. “Oh God oh God oh God -”
“We can explain,” Will spluttered, immediately shifting into damage control mode. “We, uh, last night -”
Heismay, however, held up a clawed hand to silence the floundering elda, his shoulders shaking a little as he let out a gruff chuckle.
“There is no need to scramble for an alibi,” he said. “I have no desire to expose or dwell upon what I’ve heard. You all have things I’m sure you’d rather be kept private on this ship, as do I. Please, pay that no mind.”
“You have to hear…everything?” Gallica inquired. “All the time? That sounds terrible…”
“Such is the hand dealt to us eugief,” Heismay conceded. “But I am used to it, and I have become quite adept at tuning out that which I was not meant to hear. It’s no trouble.”
Will let out a little sigh of relief at Heismay’s reassurance, but something was nagging at him, and he chose to vocalize the concern as the eugief took another long sip from the cup in front of him.
“Was that all you wanted to tell us?”
Heismay didn’t respond at first, savoring the drink in his hand, his head tucked downwards. He tapped one claw against the cup, and his ear twitched again as he peered up at the elda and his sweet little fairy companion.
“Lad…are you familiar with the concept of contraception?”
