I laughed softly and moved my gaze to Fennec who was watching me closely.

“Good morning,” I said, smiling at him and feeling my cheeks heat up.

“Morning, sweet girl. Mama asked if we’d go to the grocery store after breakfast to get some things. Coming with me?”

“What do we need?”

“I made a list. It’s right over there. You can take the wagon to put the groceries in,” Mama suggested.

I grabbed the list she had placed on the microwave and looked over it to see if there was anything I wanted to add.

There were things I’d probably see at the store which I wanted to taste again after almost half a year in the forest.

“Beef jerky? Did Papa put that on the list?” I grinned at him.

“Need it to survive,” he replied with a shrug.

“Couldn’t agree more,” Fennec added.

“You three are soon gonna get sick from eating so much meat all the time. I’ll let you take pasta and cans of tomatoes to camp. At least you’ll have some kind of change for a while.”

Neither of us said anything to stop Mama from giving us food, because she wouldn’t let us.

“Papa is happier,” I pointed out as we walked down the street to get to the grocery store.

Fennec was pulling the empty wagon while I tried not to slip and fall on the icy pavement.

“Of course he is. He’s back with his high school sweetheart. Who wouldn’t be happy about that?”

He had a point.

“You didn’t have one. Why? I mean…why did you never have a girlfriend? Or dated anyone?”

“I told you this before. None of them were enough for me.”

I smiled. “None of them would’ve come to live with you in the wilderness.”

“None of them were you.” His eyes met mine for a second, and his words made my chest warm more than my coat did.

For some reason, it was colder here in Fairbanks than up in the mountains.

“I wish you’d have slept in my bed last night. I missed you next to me,” he confessed, making my smile grow wider than it already was.

“I missed you too. But maybe it’s best if we stay in separate rooms until we get back.”

“Why? We sleep in the treehouse together. It’s nothing new. Besides…I can’t touch your sweet pussy and let you suck my dick when we’re in separate rooms.”

I pressed my lips into a tight line and looked around to ensure no one was listening, but even if they were, I didn’t think Fennec would’ve cared.

He didn’t even seem worried about others seeing us holding hands like we did last night when we walked home from the diner.

“I’m on my period again,” I confessed, finding it appropriate to let him know and wishing he’d give my pussy the same attention as in that dream I had.

“Remember how I told you about you making me come while I was on my period?” I asked.

We were already crossing the store’s parking lot, and when we got closer to the entrance, he stopped and pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his coat.
