The night might be cold, and the dark gray sky might be a harbinger of the winter that is to come, but right now, my skin is hot to the touch.
I sigh with relief as I walk down the trail, which started at the top of the cliff where Kian cornered me.
And there, five minutes away from me, is the waterfall and the pool of water that it cascades into.
I pull my clothes off right away and sigh with relief as I plunge into the water.
At first, I just float there, naked, shivering slightly as the cool water washes over my skin.
The water is colder than I expected, and I know that in a week’s time, the water, and the forest in general, will be frigid.
Winter is coming, and I only hope that we are prepared enough to live through it.
At least none of the female wolves are pregnant. That would be a disaster, trying to birth a litter in bad weather.
As I think about the winter that is to come, I cannot help but go back to thinking about Kian.
What if he has a family waiting for him? A wife, children? What if they’re going to starve this winter without him? What if his entire clan is dependent on him, while he’s out here learning how to hunt?
The thought that Kian might have an entire family waiting for him right at this moment is quite depressing, and I shove thoughts of it away.
Then I swim to the edge of the pool of water and sit on the rocky ledge, where I wash myself slowly.
My thoughts return to Kian as my hands travel up and down my body.
A soft moan escapes me as I wonder what it’d be like if Kian touched me where I was touching myself now.
What would it be like if he cupped my breasts in his hands? What would it be like if he stroked my thighs and butt? What would it be like if he had his lips on mine, while his hands were between my legs?
I still don’t fully understand the mechanics of the heat I am feeling. But what I do know is that there is a heat between my legs that won’t stop throbbing, no matter what I do.
And it worsens every time I think about Kian. And it is especially bad when I am close to him. When I can smell his scent. When I can almost taste the saltiness of his skin.
But again, the thought that Kian might have a family plagues me.
I wrench my hands away from my body and plunge back into the water.
I can’t do this!
I can’t be in heat for an orc! He isn’t human! So even if he doesn’t have a family, I can’t do this!
I might not understand the mechanics of sex, but what I do know is that different species don’t cross.
If I want to be with anyone in ‘that’ way, I have to be with a human man.
I just cannot imagine any human man making me feel the way that Kian does.
I push myself harder in the pool of water, swimming faster and cutting harder through the water with my arms.
As if I haven’t done enough physical activity for the day,I think ruefully to myself.
I do several laps up and down and then swim beneath the waterfall. I am in a small cave there, and I clamber up onto another ledge where I lay down to air dry.
The air in the cave is naturally dry, and I feel my skin drying quickly as I lay there.
My head is filled with tumultuous thoughts as I lay there. All I can think about is Kian, and going back and forth between what I want and what I know is right.
“I want him,” I murmur to myself. “But it isn’t right. I can’t be with an orc. All they’ve done since coming to Earth is terrorize humans. And anyway, I’m human, and I need to be with a human male.”
