Chapter Seventeen

We ran for fifteen minutes before Brody the Fox skittered to a stop and shifted back to a very naked Brody the Human. His long hair blew around his beautiful bronze skin, and he looked as wild and free as these woods. My heart constricted in my chest. I loved him. So very much.

Tex transformed behind me. “Dude. I’m a python. We aren’t marathon runners, you know?” he puffed out.

Brody made a rude noise. “We’re here. Close your eyes,” he whispered. “Follow me.”

An odd scent tickled my nose, and I felt like it was a scent I should recognize. We walked a little further, and the ground was rough and uneven. I heard Tex curse behind me, his fingers touching the waistband of my pants as he slid down the steep incline.

Finally, the path evened out. “Okay, open your eyes, Red.”

The smell was sulphuric. He’d brought me to the most beautiful little grotto with a natural hot spring. The steam was visible in the moonlight, and the water was an inky mirror.

“Wow,” I breathed. I was peeling my clothes off even as I said the word. I looked over my shoulder. “It’s a hot spring. Lucky you are already naked,” I said to Tex, whose nose was twitching.

Brody waded into the water, and he looked like a forest god. I reached out for Tex’s hand, putting it on my shoulder, as I stepped into the pool. The steaming water burned my toes for a moment, but my body acclimatized slowly as I walked toward Brody. He was sitting down on what must be a natural rock bench on the other side of the pool. Submerged up to my waist, Tex dropped his hand from my shoulder and I let my body sink into the water, moaning. It was so good. Every muscle relaxed into the water, I just wanted to sink further and further down. So I did. I didn’t need to breathe, so I let my weight carry me to the very bottom. I looked up at the full moon, my hair swaying in the water like seaweed. Eventually swam back up because I knew it would freak the guys out if I stayed down too long. I was totally going scuba diving one day when I could stand the sun.

I waded over to Brody and sat in his lap. “This is perfect,” I whispered into the cacophony of the night. He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me close. “You are perfect. This is just a natural phenomenon.”

He set me between his knees and rubbed my shoulders in the hot water. Oh. My. God. It was bliss. I was dead. It was better than sex. Okay, that was an exaggeration. Better than any sex I’d had before being turned into a vampire. There, that's more accurate.

Tex sat further along the bench and hooked one of my feet with his hands. He rubbed my feet while Brody worked the knots from my shoulders and I wanted to cry.
