Chapter Twenty

Two days passed as Lothar and Holly navigated the island, building shelters as the sun dipped past the horizon. They spent their nights shielded from the dangers of the island as they familiarized themselves with each other. Having removed what shielded her from his gifts, Lothar lapped up every moment of her emotions. In their intimate moments, her love, pleasure, and pure openness often sent him over the edge. He found that they came together, enjoying and finishing with one another. He didn’t need to hear her say that she loved him, the pure emotion permeated his very soul, but damn if he did love hearing it.

On day three of their long journey to make it to the shore, the forest began to thin.

“Maybe the goblins were wrong, the forest is breaking,” Holly said hopefully.

Lothar didn’t want to crush the hope in her voice, but the steady incline told him they weren’t coming any closer to the shoreline. The soft earth beneath them and the thick forest foliage began to give way to a rocky landscape.

She sighed. “You don’t think so though, do you?”

Lothar simply smiled at her.

“Oh, Lothar, your face says it all; we’re heading back to the waterfall, aren’t we?”

“The landscape seems to indicate that we are coming into an area like when we first saw the griffin.”

Holly blew out a heavy breath as Lothar helped her over a downed tree, the freshly uprooted ground telling him something large had made its way through the area.

He nodded towards a deep pond of water. “Let’s take a break.”

“Is this a good spot?”

He smiled. “Whatever took the tree down is likely gone now. The earth doesn’t show any signs of disturbance since the tree fell.”

“What about the water warning that Nebo gave us?”

The little goblin hadn’t given much detail, but he had said to stay on the earth, not in the sky, which she understood why, and also not in the water. The Gods only knew what dwelled beneath its depths. How many creatures could she count that lurked in dark waters? Too damn many!

Lothar scanned the pool of water with its light current as the river flowed past it. “I guess I will take my chances, I’m thirsty and hot.” He smiled wryly at her. “And I have no doubt I have started to ripen.”

Holly laughed. He smelled perfect in her opinion. All hard-working male and musk, he smelled like he tasted, which she had come to love. His blood was rich and smooth; it boosted her power and sustained her longer than any human she had ever fed from.

“Alright, you clean up and I am going to check and see if there is anything to eat nearby.”

Lothar’s brows furrowed as he scanned the area around them.

She pecked his cheek. “I’ll be fine, and I will stay close. I promise.”

Lothar huffed. He didn’t want her out of his sight. “Be quick.”

She eyed the pond behind them. “You too, we don’t know what lurks in the water.”

“Deal.” He grinned and began stripping off his grungy clothes.
