MAZIE

The first thing Mazie thought about when she woke up was Pyrus. The feel of his mouth and body pressing against hers and the taste of his lips. She hadn’t ever been with anyone who made her feel that way so quickly. She felt like she wanted to know every inch of him and that she would let him know every inch of her.

She found herself sweating as she sat up in the tent, and it wasn’t just from the heat. “Jeez,” she whispered. Mazie quickly pushed those naughty thoughts out of her mind, knowing she had an important day ahead of her.

It was the last day that the corps team would be at the sanctuary. They would then disband and go their separate ways. It was a pattern that Mazie was used to. The goodbyes were always difficult because she’d made friends along the way. But inevitably, they’d lose touch and move on with their lives.

Mazie wasn’t great at moving on. She held onto people, often without them knowing and often without her ever having informed them of how much she’d ached to get close to them. She had lost out on close relationships with both men and women because of the pattern, but it was something she had to work out in her mind.

She tried to let go of that sorrowful feeling that came over her on the last day at the places she’d volunteered. She showered, once again trying to avoid thoughts about Pyrus being in the shower with her, his hands moving tenderly over her naked body.

It was confusing, to say the least, to feel both sad about leaving potential friends and meaningful work while also being aroused by the thought of some strange dragon-man moving his fingers in her most intimate spots.

She huffed out a breath and turned the shower off, forcing herself to face the present moment. She would have lots of time for brooding later.

Mazie placed her things into the corps’ jeep they would take back to the sanctuary and then headed to breakfast with the group. She went to a table and sat with Emilia, as she always did, along with a few other friends she had garnered over the months of working together.

“Aren’t you riveted?” Emilia said, sliding eggs into her mouth.

Mazie smiled, taking a long sip of her coffee. “Not exactly the word I would use,” she muttered.

“I just can’t wait to take a hot shower and sleep in a real bed,” Emilia said, emphasizing the word bed. “I think I might take a mini-vacation and just fucking sleep in an air-conditioned hotel for a week. And eat. That’s it.”

Mazie sighed, trying to conceal her resignation. Before Emilia could take notice of it, she nodded at something behind Mazie.

“I think someone is trying to get your attention,” Emilia said with a wink.

Mazie raised an eyebrow, then turned.

Standing there and towering over everyone like the Empire State Building was Pyrus. He was dashingly handsome, even in a sea of sweat and dirt that the corps had all grown used to.
