Chapter Nine:

The morning sun was intrusive. It flooded into the tent and shone down onto the two travelers. Astrid nuzzled against Davy’s chest. She took in his scent, felt the sculpted curves of his muscles, the warmth of his touch. She could hear each thump of his heart behind his flesh. It was music to her ears as she sighed contentedly. She could have stayed there with him all day, but that wasn’t the plan. The plan was very different and she was reminded of that as the pirate shifted. He pet her horns as her tail swayed happily behind her. She didn’t open her eyes. Instead, she snuggled closer, letting out another heavy sigh as she made herself comfortable again.

“I know you’re awake, sunshine.” He gave her head another pat. “Your tail betrays you.” Astrid opened her eyes as the pirate beamed down at her. He kissed her forehead as she yawned lazily, finally resigning herself to her fate as she climbed out of the tent and out into the pervasive sunlight. The two of them packed their things in silence. She wondered if he replayed the memories of the night before through his mind endlessly as well. She wondered if it made his heart flutter, if he shook with anticipation when he thought about it, if he missed every touch and secretly begged the universe for another shot at it. She glanced over at him. He had just finished packing. His blue eyes shimmered in the morning light as he smiled down at his work, satisfied. He’s amazing.

Astrid watched every step the man before her took. She watched the subtle sway of his hips as he took step after step through the greenery. Her heart felt full as she touched the reddened blotches on her neck, the memory of his kisses dancing through her brain. He had tasted like apples. She licked her lips. She longed for him to touch her again, but they had a mission – a job to get done. Reluctantly, she shook the exchange from her mind and allowed her fingers to slide down from her neck and to drift back down to her side.

They trudged along, pushing through branches and vines, missing the empty clearing they had slept in. Each step took them deeper into the forest, deeper into the mass of crimson flowers and lush trees. Minutes quickly became hours and, as they searched and searched, finding nothing, Astrid found her mind wondering back to the kissing and touching from the night before again. She blushed as she watched Davy push through another mass of weeds and branches with the sabre he had nicked from Valentina. She fidgeted as she thought of the way his hand had felt against her thigh.

“Do you hear that?” He asked, turning to her with a large grin.

“Hear what?” She asked, shaking the thoughts from her mind again. She tried to seem as though she had been paying attention the whole time despite how distracted she had been.
