BRIDGET

I'm utterly rattled as I leave A'tam's side. Every time I turn around, things seem to be going from bad to worse. I should be thrilled that I resonated to the man of my choice, the man that I've been obsessed with since I got here. Except…now that we've resonated, I have to have sex with him. Before, it was a “possibly on the table once we work through our issues” situation.

Now it's something that absolutely has to take place.

Fuck.

Something tells me he wouldn't be satisfied with a “just the tip” suggestion.

I need to be reasonable. I'm sure the sex will be all right once we talk it out. I'm sure A'tam will agree to whatever I need. But my khui is throbbing so fiercely in my chest and sending my hormones skyrocketing. I'm having a hard time concentrating. Part of me wants to find A'tam and drag him somewhere private despite everything. The other part of me wants to run screaming into the hills.

Why does everything have to be so damn difficult? I just want to go hide in my bunk for a while and work through my thoughts. I want to hide from all the good-intentioned people having a wonderful time around me. I can hear the threads of laughter coming from the group by the fire, and it doesn't sound like anyone's too keen on retiring early, even though it's getting cold. Good. I can have a little time to myself. Figure out what I'm going to do. Calm my khui down.

When I get inside the sleeping cave I share with the other women, though, it's not empty. Flor is in there, chatting animatedly with Angie. Angie doesn't have her baby in her arms, which means her mate is taking care of little Glory. They both smile at me as I enter, but my body language makes it clear that I don't want company. I hunch over, clutching my tunic tight in the hopes that it'll somehow muffle my khui, and give them a wide berth, heading for my bunk.

As each woman resonates, there's more room in the cave. Since it's down to just me, Sam, Flor and Steph, we've been joking about how much room we have to spread out now, especially since Tia is living at Croatoan and Daisy is staying with A'tam. My bunk is nearest to the door so I can sneak out to my pottery cave on the regular, but that also means that there's no quiet to be had while Flor and Angie are chatting. I drop down next to my pallet of furs, studying my small basket of clothes. I wonder if I should put on another layer of clothes. Maybe a second tunic would help muffle things. I put my hand to my chest, thinking, and stroke the exposed patch of skin at the throat of my tunic. I think about A'tam, and how he touched me there. How he just placed his big hand on my collarbone and it was so fucking sexy that it sent a whole cascade of dirty thoughts through my mind.
