"I should know better," he muttered.
"Yeah, you should," Bain agreed. "You spend half your life eating from cook fires like this."
"I must have been distracted." Knox glanced at me.
I frowned. "Wait a minute, are you blaming me in some way?"
His eyes widened. "Hades no, it was all me. Being distracted. By you."
"So… you are blaming me." I was teasing, mostly, but I wasn't sure if he knew that.
"No," he stammered. "I… I…"
I patted his hand. "It's okay, no need to explain. We all have our moments." And I was ninety-nine percent sure he was thinking with his cock when he took that bite. Fair enough, I was thinking with my pussy quite a bit right now. Between Yard's flirting and the idea of sleeping beside two guys I had strong feelings for, romantic, as well as lust— I was a ball of pent up desire.
What was the female equivalent of blue balls? Blue ovaries? Blue pussy? Either way, I was as distracted right now as Knox was.
"Maybe save your moments until we're not out here." Bain pulled the last sticks of meat off the fire and started to pile dirt on the flames to put them out.
"You should really use water for that," Knox pointed out.
"We don't have enough," Bain grunted. "Just watch where you're walking and you'll be fine."
"Fuck," I said.
They both turned to look at me, but their hands went to their knives. They'd gone from looking relaxed to being on high alert in a nanosecond flat.
"What is it?" Bain asked.
"I was just thinking I forgot my night vision goggles so I could see hot coals under dirt in the dark." I felt bad for the false alarm, but it was gratifying to see they could get so ready, so fast.
Bain gave me a long look, then snorted. "If you were Dex, I'd threaten to use this on you if you pulled anything like that again." He patted his hilt.
"So you only threaten people you love?" I asked without thinking.
His look went on for longer, but finally he broke it off. Right after I thought if he kept staring like that, I was going to jump his bones.
"Just be careful," he said finally. "Don't be the girl who cried wolf."
"Unless it's crying out in a good way," I said.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down. There, I knew he was feeling the same vibe I was. I had wondered if he regretted the kiss. He wouldn't be the first to act without thinking. He was thinking it though, that and more.
"Yes," Bain said softly.
I waited for him to elaborate, but he didn't.
"We should turn in," Knox said, filling the awkward silence.
"Yes," Bain replied, a little two quickly. "It's getting late and we have a long couple of days ahead of us."
"Right." I nodded. It looked like my blue pussy was getting blocked, at least for a while longer.
That might be for the best. We shouldn't be distracted in case we woke up surrounded by the enemy. That would be embarrassing at best.
Fatal at worst.
"Are there tigers around here?" I asked. "The animal kind." They lived up in the mountains. I hadn't seen any, but one night Bain and Kerina lost a horse to one.
