Finger combing her hair, she sections it before giving herself a quick, messy side braid. When she gets to the end of her woven strands, she searches the inside of the wardrobe to find a ribbon. The yellow tie holds her hair together with a neat bow.
Letting out a somewhat satisfied sigh, she smooths the dress and gives me a self-conscious half-shrug. “Well, it’ll have to do.”
One of my eyebrows goes up as I repeat her self-deprecating statement. “It’ll have to do?”
“Yeah.” She fusses with a few wrinkles on her skirt. “I think this is as good as it’s going to get.”
I don’t like it when she downplays her beauty. “Sunny, there is no one and nothing more exquisite than you. No matter what you’re wearing, you’re the best there is.”
Her eyes get soft, and a gratefulness sparkles in them. “Thank you, Kai.”
“Just being honest. Here’s your weapon.” After I hand her the dagger, she slips it into a hidden pocket on the right side of her dress between folds of fabric.
I look down at her adorable—and very clean—toes sticking out of the hem at the bottom of her dress. “You need suitable shoes.”
Nodding, she goes back to rummaging around in the wardrobe. One yellow slipper gets tossed to the floor before it’s followed by another. Absent-mindedly sliding her feet into them, she continues looking for something else.
“Aha!” She makes the happy sound and spins toward me with something small and white in her grasp like it’s a trophy.
At first, I think it’s a handkerchief. Then I realize what she’s holding.
Day Realm panties. I’d almost forgotten how thin they are. The undergarments are designed with airflow in mind, and they’re basically mesh.
I could lick Ro’s pussy through the netting if I wanted to.
But then Ro yawns, reminding me she should be using this time to get her energy back.
I gesture to the bed. “Sleep.”
Obliging, she takes a step that way, but then she pauses. Biting her lip, she twists her fingers together and fidgets.
I’ve noticed the endearing nervous habit. She does that when she wants to say something, but she’s holding back.
“What’s wrong?” I ask gently. “You can speak plainly with me. Always.”
“Will you join me?”
“That’s not a good idea.”
“Why?”
Because if I get in that bed with her, I have a very strong suspicion sleep won’t be happening for either of us. I might try to fuck her. Clothes wouldn’t stop me. All I’d have to do is yank her skirt up, pull her panties to the side, and slip my cock into her pretty little pussy.
I bet she’d be tight. So incredibly tight. I’d have trouble fitting, but with how wet she’s proven to be, I could work my cock in slowly.
Turning away from her, I palm my crotch where my shaft is jerking in my pants like it wants to escape. “You need a nap.”
“But you said we were supposed to stay within two feet of each other,” she argues softly.
“That was different.”
“Different how?”
“We were in the maze, and I thought something was going to jump out at us. Now, I don’t know what to expect, but whatever it is, it could happen in a minute or next week. We don’t know how long this peace will last, and you should use the time we have to rest while I keep watch.”
“I—I—” Ro’s unsure voice makes me glance over my shoulder, and I watch her face go through a series of emotions as she tries to find the words to explain her feelings.
Uncertainty. Realization. Acceptance. Courage.
