Chapter Seven

Geoff watched Krig leave the pod, not knowing how he felt about realizing that Krig actually cared for Keirah. They’d only met the man a few days ago and sure, the situation was far from ordinary, but he’d always thought that he’d hold her heart alone. He’d come to the conclusion that she might share her body, but she wouldn’t share her love. What would he do if Keirah came to have feelings for the Alphan male?

Pushing the thought aside, to a far deep corner of his mind, he took his shirt off to dribble a little water on the corner so he could wipe her face. The medicine seemed to be working since she wasn’t as hot as before, but her face was still flushed.

He dozed, not really sleeping since he was too worried Keirah’s fever would spike. At some point Krig came back in, but he didn’t talk to him. Geoff saw the other man check on her and run a finger lovingly down her cheek and took it in stride. He couldn’t keep thinking the Alphan was the enemy because, despite his jealousy, he knew Krig was a good man, alien or not.

He must have fallen asleep because he was jolted awake when the hatch door opened. Geoff bolted upright, and it took a second for the world to swim back into focus. He looked down at Keirah and saw she was warm to the touch, although the bandage looked fresh. Krig must have checked it. He stretched and had to take a leak so he made his way outside to see the Alphan urinating into the thick foliage. Geoff made his way over and stood next to him, unzipping his pants to do his business.

“The wound is still red but not as swollen,” Krig told him. “She needs to stay in bed today, resting.”

“Agreed.”

They both finished and zipped up. Geoff wished he had some soap, but water would have to do, and they both rinsed off their hands.

“So, Captain,” Geoff said as he turned to the other man. “What’s on your agenda today?”

“Let’s find some dry wood and then go hunting.”

“Okay.”

It didn’t take them long to find a large log that was perfect, and using some vines they hauled it back toward the pod. Krig used a tarp to cover it in hopes of drying it out a little more. Geoff checked on Keirah to see she was still sleeping. Although he was slightly worried she hadn’t woken up, he knew the best thing for her body was rest, so he tried not to fret too much.

The pod had a small axe that would’ve made chopping firewood a bitch, so Krig grabbed a small torch and Geoff helped the Alphan climb to the top of the pod, where the metal hull had twisted upon impact, to salvage some of it for an axe.

“There’s a lot of creature parts up here,” Krig called out. “I’m going to throw some metal down to you, but we’re going to have to clean it up.
