LAUREN

The men talk for a time after dinner, making plans in low voices. I don’t follow any of it, but I occasionally hear my name and that of Marisol. Every time I speak up, K’thar just smiles at me and nods, and I have to trust that he is actually going to take me to my friend. I don’t think he would lie, but I’m also hoping I’m not completely misunderstanding things.

When the suns go down, J’shel takes the baby and heads up to his sleeping spot and N’dek prepares his bed with fresh leaves that K’thar’s gathered for him. They don’t seem to be big fans of fire here, so when the light is gone, it’s pretty much bedtime. That leaves just me and K’thar to retire to our spot high up in the tree.

Bedtime. I can’t help but think about last night and I get all flushed wondering what tonight is going to be like. Not that I should be thinking about stuff like that.

Not that I haven’t thought about it every hour the entire day. I blame my cootie for my rather singular thoughts. I knew nightfall was coming. I just didn’t know if I’d be coming with it.

Ha.

But I can’t deny that I want to be touched again. Last night’s orgasm was nothing short of earth-shattering and I’m curious to see if he plans on taking control again. He hasn’t pushed me all day, but I’ve caught him watching me. I know he has to be thinking like I am—his cootie has been just as noisy as mine all day.

If he doesn’t touch me tonight, though, I’m not sure if I have the guts to ask him to. Part of me thinks no one would care—no one in this tribe anyhow—but there’s another part of me that still thinks like the awkward Earth woman who wore glasses and sat on the sidelines at the club instead of dancing. I’m not abandoned. I don’t think I’ll ever be that person. The closest I’ll ever be to that carefree person is who I am right now, the one in the grass bikini in a jungle of naked people. I’m the one that tries to be helpful, the peacemaker. It’s hard for me to ask for things for myself.

It’s especially hard to think about asking someone Hey, would you diddle me again tonight?

K’thar gestures at the hollowed-out bole of the massive tree that they call home, and he indicates that I should try climbing it for myself tonight. I appreciate that he’s not going to throw me over his shoulder and haul me around, but I worry that I’m going to be really bad at this. “I’m not the most athletic,” I tell him, grabbing a handhold and looking up. “So no laughing.”

“L’ren, up,” he tells me in his language.

Right, right. I’m looking forward to the day we can have a real conversation. I use the handhold and pull myself up, reaching for the next one. It’s not very big and my fingers slip, and then one of K’thar’s big hands cups my butt, helping me up.
