“Mrm,” he grunted.
We lay like that for a while… and I thought about what he’d said in front of the fire.
And I started to feel a little weepy again.
I thought about saying Thank you for saying you’re sorry, but it felt a little weird… bringing up that specific thing from an hour before…
So I did the next best thing I could think of.
“I’m… sorry about your uncle. And your mom. And your dad.”
It came out a little stilted.
I guess that was to be expected. When I said that nobody had ever apologized to me before, the flip side was that I’d never apologized to anybody, either.
I guess I wasn’t apologizing, though, so much as offering sympathy.
He lay there in silence for a few seconds.
Then he said, “…thank you. And like I said, I’m sorry I put you in the middle of all this.”
“It’s okay,” I said, then immediately realized that wasn’t exactly true. “I mean, it’s not okay – it sucks – but it’s not your fault. I mean, it is your fault, but… you didn’t mean to.”
That did not come out the way I’d wanted.
His voice turned sarcastic. “Thank you for understanding.”
As I warmed up, I began noticing more and more the gorgeous swell of his ass pressed against my body.
From there, I started thinking about him swinging the ax.
His arm muscles swelling…
His chest bulging…
His back muscles rippling…
And I thought about the big, firm, solid shape along his thigh under his jeans.
Oh God –
I tried to distract myself by talking.
“What do you think’s going to happen?”
He sounded puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“I mean… do you think your uncle’s looking for you? For us?”
“I don’t know. But we can’t take any chances.”
“What’s going to happen with my grandmother?”
“I’m going to get you back home to her safely.”
I frowned. “But… something’s got to be going on. Otherwise, you’d be taking me to her now instead of us hiding out in the woods.”
“You saw the mercenaries in that boat that was chasing us.”
