Chapter Ten

Fatigue started prodding at Lucus around midday. The sun was nearly at its zenith, which only added to the torture. Once the desert turned its furnace dial to full blast, it’d be impossible to continue. His motions sluggish, he loosened the straps on the pac-sack and huddle tent before dropping both burdens to the ground. The loss of the excess weight quieted the complaints of his straining muscles. If he possessed an ounce of moisture in his body, he would have teared up with relief.

A large outcropping of rock provided a good location for pitching the tent. Less than five minutes later, he crawled inside the enclosure and secured the flap. The huddle’s heat-repellant material kept the cramped interior relatively cool. Stripping off his shirt, he wadded the fabric into a ball, intending to use it as a pillow for his nap. His body shivered in anticipation of sleep, but first he desperately needed hydration.

Unzipping the pac-sack, he fetched one of the canisters of water and unscrewed the lid. He battled the urge to slug down the water and took measured sips instead. When his gut didn’t revolt, he risked a lengthier swallow and recapped the canister. Giving into the exhaustion yanking at his limbs, he stretched out on the tent’s padded floor with a groan. There wasn’t enough room to fully recline his legs but he wouldn’t bitch. Wedging his shirt beneath his head, he closed his eyes and within seconds, fell asleep. Rini filled his dreams—her mouth sweet and teasing as it traversed along his abdomen and lower, until her lips closed over his cock and sucked him inside the hottest heaven he’d ever known.

“Yeah, baby, like that. Deeper.” He jerked awake, blinking. The vibrant dream dissolved like a fine spider web in a rainstorm. Glancing down, he noticed the position of his hand and the status of his raging hard-on. “Great, I’m jerking off in my sleep now.”

Shaking his head, he scooted to his knees and unfastened the tent flap. The sun had begun its trek towards the west. Deciding he’d best get a quick meal in before resuming his journey, he unpacked the dried beef and tore off a small portion. He washed down the meat and a handful of the hubarra nuts with a few gulps of water. By the time he reassembled and strapped everything onto his back, the sun had dipped even farther on the horizon, striping the desert with its sherbet hues.

For the next two hours he concentrated his sight on the mountain ridge in the distance, using the focal point as motivation to keep one foot stepping in front of the other. He was so wrapped up in that deliberate task, he almost missed the glint of metal towering beyond a cluster of boulders. Veering off track, he went to investigate.

“I don’t fucking believe it.” Crouching behind the shortest of the boulders, he stared at the dome-shaped hut that squatted in the middle of the desert terrain like a giant steel mushroom.
