“Why the hell did you keep stopping me!” I yelled as I swiped at him, but he was ready for me. He caught me by my arm, turned me around, and pushed me against a tree, pinning me down with his body and still grinning.

I growled at him. “Why the hell did you do that?” I asked.

He didn’t provide me with an answer. Instead, he placed his lips over mine and kissed me hard. I felt myself melt against him, and the fire that had been burning in me earlier changed and was converted into passion. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned closer to him, slipping my tongue into his mouth, hungry for more of him. My loins toiled with want, and every inch of my skin wanted to be touched.

There was a cough behind us, and that broke the fire that had grown between us. I pushed Luke away.

“We are not done!” I told him, my anger resurfacing again.

“You let it go?” Pam asked.

I shrugged. “I caught it. It didn’t look like it was ready to die. I didn’t feel like killing anything. I have been killing for the past two weeks. It was nice to finally let something live.”

Pam smiled at me. “Yola will like you. Come on. We need to get back to the others. We’ve strayed further than the rest.”

“And the two of you are fast. I have never seen wolves run that fast before. The thing you did with the tree, how did you not get disoriented?” she asked, and I just shrugged.

“It comes naturally, I guess. I had never gotten disoriented before doing it. It feels just like running too.”

“Yes, but it makes you faster.”

I could see the awe on their faces as we started back to the others. Luke walked with me, and he wrapped his fingers around mine. We were the last to return and the only ones without game, but no one batted an eye or even asked us questions. Everyone gathered what they had gotten, and Merine said there would be a feast at night. He asked everyone to be present as it would be a prelude to the ritual that would happen the next day.

“For the first time ever in our tribe, we’ll have people hunting for the moon stone!” he announced to the people.

The people erupted in joy, and the rest of what Merine had to say got caught in their noise, and in the end, he simply gave up and told everyone they could go back to their huts. People walked by us and hugged us, wishing us good luck tomorrow.

Luke and I walked side by side until we were inside our hut. I was still burning with adrenaline from the run earlier, and he still had questions to answer. I turned to him immediately and pushed him against the wall.

“Why did you stop me from getting the deer?”

Luke shrugged, smiling and enjoying himself. “Because I thought it would be fun,” he said with a twinkle in his eyes that made my knees go weak. When we kissed earlier in the woods,a need and passion rushed through me, but it was cut short by Pam and her husband. But here, there was no one to stop us, and Luke had the same idea. He pushed me against the wall, grabbed me, and pinned me down. Before I could react to it, he kissed me hard on the lips, biting me gently, and a moan forced itself out of my mouth. I wrapped my hand around his neck and pulled him closer to me, so close that I wanted him inside of me.

Luke’s hand moved from my cheeks and moved to my breast. I ran his palms over my breast, his thumb grazing my nipples. A strike of pleasure rushed through me, and I pulled him ever closer.

The bed was just a couple of feet from us, but we both knew we wouldn’t be using the bed. The hunger in us has grown to a level beyond which we could waste time making our way to it. I wanted him, and I wanted him now. My ragged breathing and the loud moans coming out of my mouth were enough evidence of that.

Luke turned me around, his claws reaching through my blouse and tearing it, opening my breast to the cold air in the hut that caressed my hardened nipples. My jeans were the next to go, and soon I was naked. I turned around and reached for Luke. I wanted to touch him, but I also wanted to have him. He moved my hand back and whispered into my ears.

“Close your eyes.”

He said it with a stern voice that caused me to close my eyes. I was under his control now, and I could hear him get out of his clothes. His hands found my buttocks, and he moved his palms around it until his thumb found my wet entrance, which was warm with want. I felt him get closer to me, and as I was bentover, my hand against the wall and my eyes slammed shut, he moved into me.

Pleasure flooded through me, and I moaned, with no care about who might hear us. I was getting a new sensation that I had never had before. It was coming from deep inside me, almost like as Luke kept stroking in and out, we were coupling in spirit, too, and that filled me with even greater pleasure. I still had my eyes shut and just surrendered myself to the feeling of bliss.

I also knew that this sweet feeling wasn’t something I would want to enjoy once and be done with. We had the whole night, and I intended to make it count.

Chapter twenty-six (Hayley)

When I woke up the next morning, Yola was standing at the end of the bed again, looking down at us. He had a tiny grin and looked more comfortable than he did yesterday.

“Good morning, Yola,” I said, expecting him to respond, but he didn’t and just waited by the door. We figured it was time for the ritual to begin. Luke and I got out of bed and dressed before heading out of the hut, letting him lead us again. When we got outside, there was an electric excitement in the air, and it was strange to imagine they had all gathered here and were excited for us. But as Merine had said last night, it was a once in existence occurrence, and they were happy it was happening during their lifetime.

“What do you think they will have us doing?” Luke asked.

“I don’t know. Maybe we’ll answer some questions. Whatever it is, we better get it done fast, so we get back out there.”

“You sound eager to leave.”
