And may The Creator bless you on your journey.
You head north.
The trees in this area are spread out, and nothing but palms and small bush
cover the forest floor. You’re busy thinking if Lena will be angry with you
once you tag her when you realize you’ve veered more east than north.
“Argh, pig $#!@”
You’re about to
turn and leave when someone grabs your pouch.
With your fist
ready to wallop the fool who is stealing from you, you spin, right into Lena.
“You should be
more careful,” she says. Her big eyes reflect the moonlight.
“You shouldn’t
touch my things.” You grab her wrist. “Unless I give you permission.”
She yanks in an
attempt to break your hold, but you twist her arm, pulling her into your chest.
Her tongue
glides over her bottom lip, and it distracts you, giving her the opening she
needs to sweep your leg.
You fall, but
not without taking her with you. She lands on top of you and you roll, pushing
her back to the forest floor.
Lena is a feisty
girl. It’s one of the reasons you’re attracted to her.
A wolf howls.
“It sounds
close,” she says. “We should move.”
The howl sounded
far. You’re the better tracker, you should know.
You stand,
helping her to her feet. “We’re safe.”
Another
howl. Lena presses against your chest.
The warmth of
her body sends your mind into a haze, and when she looks at you with wanting
eyes, you aren’t sure what you should do.
