Some I liked, others I didn’t. But the outings into the countryside and surrounding nature were always my favorite.
“Shouldn’t we make a fire?” Hazel said.
“The Changelings might see it,” I said. “We can’t take the risk.”
“What about food? Are any of these plants edible?”
“Some. But not in this area. Don’t worry. I swiped some of the provisions from the resources in the boat earlier. I saw the ships coming toward us and thought we might end up in this situation.”
I pulled the bread from my pocket and handed it to her.
Hazel’s eyes widened. She took it gratefully from my hand and immediately wolfed down a slice. Watching her with her complete lack of manners made me smile.
I wolfed down my slice too. It wasn’t the most delicious food in the world but it was nutritious and filled a hole.
“I have more,” I said, handing it over. “For breakfast in the morning.”
Hazel licked the crumbs off her fingers and placed the remaining bread on a rock.
I laid one of the blankets on the ground Hazel had cleared. It was still hard and a little lumpy. Not ideal, but it would stop us from freezing to death in the night. Then I placed the second blanket over the first. She would sleep on one and use the other to cover her. She would be cold initially but her body warmth would heat the small space between the leaves until it was warm and toasty.
I got to work making another set of blankets for me.
“What are you doing?” Hazel said as I began tugging down more leaves.
“I have to make another one. For me.”
“Wouldn’t we be warmer if we shared our body heat?”
I slipped and fell from the tree. I twisted my ankle and hissed through my teeth.
Hazel bent down to check the injury but I waved her away.
“Fast healing, remember?” I said. “It’ll be back to normal within a few hours.”
“We should share the blankets,” Hazel said. “I mean, it’s not like we’re going to get up to anything, is it? This is about survival.”
“Yes. I suppose so.”
“Good.”
She immediately began to strip off.
My eyes bulged and I turned away from her.
Within seconds, she had peeled her wet clothes off. She crossed the open space and hung them on an extended branch.
She was a nurse. She was probably used to seeing patients naked.
I wasn’t.
Hazel shivered and said, “Brrrr! It’s freezing!”
She ran to the blankets and crawled between them. She raised the top blanket open, exposing herself to me.
Her large breasts… Her slim waist… And her…
I was already hard as a rock.
