Chapter Sixteen

The tip of Diah’s nose burned from the cold and he pulled the buffalo hide up to cover it. He glanced at the gray sky overhead. The clouds to the east burned red and orange. The sun would be up soon to warm them. In the meantime, he enjoyed the heat from the small body that pressed against his.

Oni hadn’t moved since they fell asleep last night. Her arm still hugged his chest and her thigh pinned his to the ground. He stared at her peaceful expression and the way her lashes cast shadows on her cheeks, and something stirred within him. Yes, he still physically desired her, but he wanted to do more than just make love to her. He had a hard time thinking about how she could be gone from his life in less than a month. He wanted to keep her like this, in his arms, feeling her hand in his.

Her eyes fluttered, and she looked up at him and smiled. “Good morning,” she said with a sleepy smile. “Sleep well?”

“Amazingly so.” He kissed her forehead.

She licked her lips so they appeared full and moist. “Is that all?”

Diah glanced over his shoulder. Cager was still sound asleep. They had a few moments to themselves. His mouth curled up into a smile as he rolled her under him. She pulled his face closer to hers and he lowered his mouth to taste those luscious lips.

This is madness, he thought as heat flooded his body and gathered in his groin. Yet he wasn’t ready quit. She sucked on his bottom lip and rubbed her pelvis against his erection. He had to stifle the moan that welled up. Like a crazed man, his hands roved under her dress and over the silky flesh of her stomach. He tugged at the top of her breeches. The burning desperation to get inside them grew with each flicker of her tongue in his mouth. He slid his fingers past the waistband and into the hot wetness between her thighs.

Oni gasped and threw her head back. Her breaths came sharp and fast as he stroked the tiny nub just inside her, and her nails dug into his back. She whimpered and arched her back, so his fingers pressed harder against her pleasure spot. And as he watched her enjoy his touch, his own desire increased.

“You know I can hear you two.”

Diah jerked his hand out of her pants and rolled over to see his brother lying across the fire pit with his arm flung over his eyes.

“Why do I feel there’s something terribly wrong with the universe? I’ve been reduced to hearing my brother have sex while I’m all alone over here.”

Oni squirmed out from under Diah. “Relax, Cager. We still have our clothes on. It’s too cold to be naked out here.”

“At least you have him to keep you warm.”

She laughed and threw back the buffalo hide. “I’ll get the fire going and start some coffee.”

The cold air hit Diah like a thousand little daggers and he shivered.
