His eyes wide, he lay beneath me as I brought him to the very edge of orgasm again and again - his control holding, but only just.
"Good...buck - " I commended him, our lovemaking gentle and sensual, not the frenetic and wild thing it had been.
"Cere..." He whimpered softly, then bit his lower lip and began to quiver.
"Soon love," I whispered back, feeling my own arousal building like a fire within me. "We will share our...our..."
He squealed and bucked, but he was weak and easily controlled, his powerful ejaculation once more deep and chilling - but it triggered my own and I squeezed down upon his length as I gasped and surrendered to our shared orgasm.
"Urgh - " I gasped, feeling his seed chilling me from the inside out, yet my own warmth must hurt him...
"Doe...Cere..." He looked up into my eyes. "Did I..."
I smiled down at him and hugged him as tight as I could, caressing his beautiful ears and I nodded, tears sliding down my cheeks.
"Why is Cere crying?" He whispered.
"Because, little one..." I answered, then kissed his nose and watched that beautiful smile spread across his muzzle. "You make me so very happy..."
"You make me happy too!" He replied, then twitched and shuddered. "Doe is very warm inside, I feel..."
His voice trailed off and I saw the confusion in his eyes.
"I think the emotion you're feeling young one, is love and affection."
"Is love a good thing?" He asked, gazing up at me.
"Yes, my dear, sweet and gentle stag, it is indeed..."
"So...mating with do...I mean, Cere..."
I smiled and kissed his cold nose again. "Lovemaking my sweet, not mating. Mating is what feral animals do, not us..."
"This...makes Cere happy?"
I laughed quietly, and nuzzled his ears, feeling him gasp and squirm beneath me.
"Yes, sweet one, it does. I just...wish you were warmer with your gift. I will survive, as my love for you will outweigh any discomfort. Now, I need to make my dinner, I'm quite hungry..."
"We can...will Cere... let me..." He frowned and looked up into my eyes.
"Yes, little one - we will make love again, I promise. I need food and a little rest, okay? I'm only... creatures like me get tired and sleepy."
He blinked then assimilated this in that blink-and-done way he had.
"Cere will eat and sleep, I understand, may I go outside?"
"Of course you may! You're not some pet, you can come and go as you wish little one...now..."
Gently,. I placed my paws on his shoulders and dismounted him, feeling his chill as I slid myself off him. He was blessed and although cold, I felt I could come to enjoy our lovemaking - if only we had more time...
He rolled off the bed then stood up, before he shivered and looked down, then back at me. In the blink of an eye, his erection vanished almost as if by magick. I suppose it was... He clopped over and lightly kissed my cheek, before he slipped out the door, it closing behind him.

Weeks passed, our love and bond grew and firmed. I taught him many things, and he taught me as well. He would come to my bed at night, share his love and affection with me as I did with him.
He learned, in such a short time, as to hold himself together, to pleasure me with his lovemaking and when he felt me tense and gasp, his own release would come and wash us both away in the pleasure of our combined orgasm.
He could make love with me for hours upon end, often we'd just be cuddled close, my arms around his back and holding him, as he'd wriggle and squirm just so within me, making me experience pleasure I'd never ever known.
I wish our love and bond could last an eternity, but alas, I sensed our time was coming to an end. Already, the days started to lengthen and I felt my own natural body clock responding to the turning of the year and the seasons...

I made my evening meal, sitting on my chair at the table and ladling the stew into my mouth. A part of me loved this sweet, beautiful stag with all my heart and soul. Yet another part of me realised the horrors of it all - in a few short days, spring would come...and with it, I would lose the one I loved and cherished with all my heart.
I know it was wrong, but truly, did I love him. This strange, magick created simulacrum. He wasn't perfect, but in his own, sweet, naive way, as I taught him, so did he teach me. He was gentle, kind, sweet, adorable and in so many ways - a perfect lover. He asked for nothing in return, gave me love and affection and himself, completely and utterly.
Sure, I'd made him, I still didn't understand _how_I'd made him - was it intentional? My loneliness and desire for someone to hold, and be held by, to love and be loved by? I had no idea... It had been decades, or longer, since I'd laid with another.
Sure, our lovemaking left me chilled and cold - yet I could still feel his spectral semen within me. It felt...strange, odd somehow. Not the usual unpleasantness I'd experienced with living, breathing males... I also knew there was no way I could conceive to him - I was truly cursed and infertile...
He was everything I could have dreamed for in a lover. Kind, sweet, gentle to a fault - large enough to pleasure me and with his remarkable stamina... I shook my head, my long ears slapping from side to side. I wasn't driven by my carnal lusts, far from it! Yet he - somehow - elicited in me desire and willingness I'd long, long ago, suppressed...
A loud piercing shriek from outside sent my blood as cold as the snow that lay outside, and I leapt from my chair, my half-eaten bowl of stew splattering as I rushed outside to find my scared, trembling snow deer...
I looked down at him, to see splatters all around me, as he looked up at me, eyes wide and confused.
"Cere..." He yelped.
He held his paws out to me, I noticed the hooflets were wet and dripping like tar, even his forearms dribbled blue droplets that fell to the ground on the white snow.
"Cere? What's...happening to me?" He asked, eyes wide, but no fear in his voice. If anything, he was confused and curious.
"_No..."_I gasped, then held him close, my tears sliding down my muzzle as I felt the softness of his melting body.
"Cere...are you...sad?" he asked, as he reached up and stroked my cheek, leaving a smear of cold snow and ice on my muzzle.
"I...am young one...very sad - " I whispered, trying to be brave for him, but failing.
I held him tight, my tears sliding down my muzzle as I clung to him, I couldn't help it. My lover was melting like the icicles that clung to the eaves of my cottage.
"No... no... it's alright. It doesn't hurt. I'm okay." He told me, holding me gently.
"But I don't want you to die!" I wailed.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think that's something that can be stopped."
"...aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid? Of dying? Why? I didn't exist months ago... if I don't exist again, then why should I be afraid? The only thing I'm afraid of is what will become of you when I'm gone."
My heart leapt into my mouth, as I slowly knelt, holding him against me as the first spring sunlight turned him even softer, before whatever magicks held him together broke and he turned to slush in my arms.
I cried, I couldn't help it...
It would be evening, by the time I rose and made my way back to my cottage, my memories of my beloved Snow Deer forever in my mind.
In these short months, he had learned more about love and life, than I had in centuries...
