He shuddered as her small, cool fingers touched him, already on the verge of climax, but he needed her with him. Too desperate to take his time, he shoved her jeans and panties down her legs, doing his best to keep her covered by the blanket. He shuddered again as he stroked between her legs and found her wet and ready. He growled and lifted her over him, bringing her down onto his cock in one fast, hard stroke.
He climaxed immediately, his useless seed erupting in a torrent of liquid heat as she gasped and clung to him until the seemingly endless flow finally stopped. Her arms were tight around him, clinging to his neck, and when he finally raised his head, her eyes were bright with tears.
“Are you all right, little bird?”
“What was it you said this morning? I’m happy—and very satisfied.”
“I will make you even more satisfied,” he promised, and began to move.
A considerable time later,she was once again dressed and curled in his arms, sleepily staring at the lantern.
“Where do you think Henry is?”
“Deeper in the rocks. His instincts must have warned him about the storm.”
“Do you think he’ll come back?”
“I would return to you,” he said truthfully, and she smiled.
“I think he was happy with me, but maybe he has a family here.”
He found the thought of a swarm of unknown creatures troubling, but he knew she wouldn’t understand his concerns.
“I suppose we’ll just have to wait and?—”
“Listen,” she said urgently, suddenly sitting up.
He heard a faint chirp from deeper in the cave and sighed, already anticipating her next move as she scrambled off his lap.
“It’s Henry! We have to go after him.”
He rose as well, picking up the lantern.
“We can try, as long as the passage isn’t too narrow.”
“All right.”
He took her hand again as they traveled deep into the rock. Several minutes passed, and he was beginning to wonder how deep they would have to go when Henry chirped again and came gliding out of the darkness ahead of them to land on Ellie’s shoulder. She reached up and he climbed into her palm and curled up as she sighed with relief and cradled him against her chest.
“You worried me,” she said sternly, then dropped a kiss on the tiny head. “Where did you go?”
Curious himself, he took a few steps in the direction from which Henry had come.
The narrow passage opened into a cave. An enormous cave with a faint orange light coming from a narrow slit far overhead near the back wall. He heard a faint scratching noise and realized that sand from the storm was drifting down through the small opening. Sand from previous storms had settled on the floor beneath it.
“Levi,” Ellie whispered, her voice shaking. “Look.”
He turned immediately to find her standing at the entrance to the cave, staring at the stone next to her, mottled orange like much of the other rock.
“What is it?”
Instead of answering, she took his hand and guided it to the wall. The surface was soft, almost furry beneath his fingers.
“Lichen?”
“Or something very similar. And no one would have planted it here. It’s like Mars is coming back to life.” They stared at each other as she bit her lip. “Lichen I could almost understand—it’sa very basic form of plant life. But Henry? Where could he have come from?”
“I wish I knew.”
