Back at the wagon, Rael was unloading the tents and passing them to Oran. Dusk had already arrived, and New Vegas was winding down for the night. There were a couple of faint electric lights in the distance, but apart from that, it would soon become pitch dark. I helped them out, and we worked together companionably, no one mentioning the tension that was so strong it was almost tangible.

When we were all set up, I climbed into the wagon as usual, the guys rejecting my offer to sleep in one of the tents instead.

I burrowed under the blankets and lay there for an hour, listening to the sounds of other people returning to their wagons and tents, stumbling around in the dark. A lot of them were drunk and raucous. When the noise started to die down, I was wide awake. I tossed and turned for another half hour, but it didn’t help. And then I heard a very soft, low call, little more than a whisper on the breeze. I sat up, recognizing it instantly.

“Ranger?” Rael whispered again. I crawled out of my blankets and over to the entrance of the wagon and unzipped the flap. He gazed at me silently, eyes like black opals. Without saying anything, I came forward into his arms, my legs naturally wrapping around his waist. The press of his body on mine reignited my desire for him, and I trembled.

He let me slide to the ground and took my hand. “Come on,” he purred into my hair, closing the tent flap with his free hand. One arm around my shoulder, the other clasping my hand, he led me through the darkness, my feet sometimes catching in undergrowth as we entered the trees. The moon wasn’t visible, and it was very dark. We kept going, all my other senses heightened by the poor visibility. My nostrils were full of him, of that fresh, zesty scent, and I was hyper-aware of his pecs brushing my shoulders.

“Where are we going?” I said at last when we didn’t seem to be arriving at any destination.

“Somewhere we can relax,” he replied with a throaty chuckle. “Where we don’t have to feel restrained.”

I thought I grasped his meaning: he didn’t want less of me than Zain had had. A weird situation to be in, but understandable.

At last, we came to a spot deep in woodland.

“Here?” I said, suddenly shy.

“Here.” He held me against his body, running his hands up and down my back, as if sensing that he needed to calm me. “No one’s going to disturb us.” He stroked my neck, then my hair, before holding my head in both hands and kissing me so tenderly that it made me tingle all over. “You drive me crazy, little wolf,” he murmured. “Ever since I first laid eyes on you, my tiger’s been going wild. Generating enough heat that I was surprised I didn’t turn into a fire source all by myself.” He chuckled.

I gazed at him wordlessly. He seemed so confident, so smooth, so self-assured; I’d never pictured him being out of control.
