MADDOX

It’s a stretch to call our hiding spot a clearing. It’s more like a tangle of roots and low branches that is semi comfortable to lie on. It’s off the ground, at least, and after we add some foliage—carefully checked for bugs—we settle in.

Of course, it’s too narrow for both of us to stretch out comfortably, and we’re limited in what positions we can take thanks to the manacles. We’re filthy, it’s humid, my clothes are still damp, and now I’ve got his body pressed against mine.

By comparison, sharing a bed was a breeze.

“I’m going to be sore in the morning and I won’t even have an orgasm to show for it,” Knives mutters.

I can’t help but snort. “You’re welcome to give yourself a handjob,” I say dryly. Neither of us is in the mood for anything remotely resembling sex right now, but it’s the only amusing thing that’s happened in the past day.

“I don’t even know that I’d be able to undo my jeans at this point.” Knives uncaps the water bottle and takes a small sip before handing it to me.

Even though I could easily drink all of it in one go, I only take a few sips. I don’t know how long it’ll have to last us, but it doesn’t look good.

Of course, dehydration might kill us faster than the bugs and the gators—of both kinds—if we don’t figure out where we are and how to get back to civilization.

“At least it’s cooling off a little,” I say, fumbling for something to say that isn’t just more negativity.

“I hope this isn’t one of those places that gets so cold at night we have to worry about hypothermia.” Knives starts to scratch his beard, then grimaces. “Fuck. I’m going to need twenty showers to get clean.”

Motion catches my attention out of the corner of my eye, and I jolt upright fast enough to make my shoulder scream with pain.

“What is it?” Knives asks, tensing up.

“I have no idea,” I say, “but I don’t think it’s an alligator.” No, it’s something the size of a giant rat, but it skitters off when it seems to realize we’re there.

Fuck.

Great. So now we don’t just have to worry about alligators, mosquitos, gnats, the heat, drowning, and dehydration. We have to worry about other animals too.

“You think it’s edible?” Knives snorts in amusement. “Like I could manage to kill, skin, and cook anything. The killing, maybe. But I don’t want to guess how messy skinning would be, and I sure as fuck can’t start a fire in a swamp.”

“And I’m not eating anything from here raw,” I say, revolted at the thought alone. “It’s probably all diseased anyway.”

“Or it’s got parasites. We’ll end up with giant worms in our guts,” Knives suggests. “Happened to a buddy in jail. He said he’d gone to Mexico on a drug run and had street tacos. That’s how they caught him—he had to go to the hospital for the pain, and the cops got alerted…”

“That’s not helping,” I tell him.
