Chapter Fourteen

Allie sighed as she snuggled against Brann’s chest, playing with the dark hair there. The man was something else in bed. “Do you know that in my time, lots of men shave their chest hair?”

“Why in blazes would they want to do that?”

She shrugged. “It’s just become the way of it. Men have to work out lifting weights to bulk up the way you are.” She traced a finger across his huge bicep. “They don’t spend their days lifting heavy swords, so they have to do it another way. Some of the younger women don’t like the hair so much. They even shave their own hair.”

“The women have chest hair?” he bellowed.

“Nay, not chest hair.” She pointed to the pubic region. “There.”

“Why the hell would they wish to do that? That would make them look like bairns.”

She shrugged her shoulders again, enjoying his honesty about her modern culture. “Makes some things easier.”

He shook his head and climbed out of her bed. “I dinnae think it should be too difficult for a man. Dinnae shave yers. ‘Tis short enough.”

She decided to drop the subject. He peeked out the small window, completely bare-assed but without an ounce of shame. Then he spun around to stare at her. “Now I’m curious. Will ye show me what else is in the bag that had the dick covers inside?”

She couldn’t help but giggle at his term for a condom. Dick Cover. She should trademark it if she ever got back.

She rolled out of bed and reached for the bag still sitting on the chest. Plopping it on the bed, she opened the bag and dropped the contents into the middle of the coverlet she’d rearranged.

“May I see the bag?” he asked as he sat down next to her. She handed it over, and he felt it between his fingers, his brow wrinkled in confusion. “What is this made of? ‘Tis quite strange.”

“Plastic. Nothing natural, but if you close that seal, it should be watertight.” She showed him the workings of the zipper-like mechanism. He opened and closed it three times before he finally set it down.

“That alone convinces me ye are from another time. We have naught like that here. What are yer other valuables? I dinnae see any gold coins.” He touched the various items, waiting for her explanation.

“Our money is paper.”

“What’s paper?”

She said, “Never mind. Just know that it’s more portable than gold coins. You can fold it and hide it.”

“So what is inside these containers?” He held up the pill container, shaking it lightly.

She held her hand sanitizer. “This cleans your hands if you don’t have soap and water available.”

“But I thought ye said water was piped everywhere.”

“It is, but still, you could be in a car…” She glanced up at him, realizing too late that she’d only made things more confusing.

“A car?”

“We still have horses, but a car goes way faster. It’s a bunch of metal sitting on top of four wheels. You can drive a car wherever you wish to go, but there’s no water inside.
