Lucky SOB.
She ran a hand over my body, feeling at the muscles and skin.
“Your skin is healing very well,” she said. “It’s a shame we don’t have more of that Healer’s Touch ointment.”
“The flower grows near here,” I said, my heart in my throat as she continued to silently touch and prod me.
“We’ll have to get some tomorrow,” she said. “We don’t want you to have more scars than you need to.”
Her eyes drifted up to my face. She turned my head to one side and then the other, checking my skin.
“Your face hasn’t healed much yet,” she said. “Maybe one day I’ll get to see what you really look like.”
“Maybe you’ll run for the hills,” I said.
“Maybe,” she said with a chuckle.
Her eyes shifted from my face to my eyes. It wasn’t just a shift in focus, it was a shift in mindset. From the observation of a professional nurse to looking at me as a real person.
Her hand was still on my face. She stroked my cheek.
I felt myself go weak at the knees.
I’d never known a woman to have that effect on me with just a look.
My heart beat faster, harder. I sensed we’d been peering at each other for too long and she pulled her eyes away from mine.
She cleared her throat.
“How long until we reach the Fallen Temple?” she said.
“About two days,” I said.
“Two days? That long?”
“It’s not close by. It’s an ancient Titan landmark.”
“Will the Changelings search it?”
“Probably. But there are hundreds of other sites we could be heading to. And we won’t be gathering out in the open, but underground.”
“That makes sense,” she said. “Well, I suppose we should be getting to sleep.”
She rolled over, showing her back to me. Then she edged backward into me, pressing her soft smooth skin against me.
I grew even harder.
She must have felt it digging into her back but she didn’t complain.
How easy it would be to slip inside her…
To kiss and touch her…
But I wouldn’t dishonor her.
I imagined I was her fiancé all those miles away and how I would feel if I saw us in this position now.
The jealousy was sharp and stung.
