Gasping in startled surprise Holly felt herself falling until he reached out and grabbed her arm. The jerk of her body unseated her cap and a fall of ...hair the darkest black he’d ever seen spilled out and hung in curls down her back. The darkness of her hair was almost startling against her light golden flesh and light blue eyes. Ian had to wonder what all that dark hair would look like spread over his white satin pillowcase. He grinned hugely at that image. Feeling a jerk on his arm he looked. The cats had returned unnoticed. A mountain lion finally intervened between her and the shape that was barely recognizable as a dead man. And she stumbled to her feet, all exhaustion, all sense of self, gone. Her mind had utterly, and completely snapped. The lion and her cat companions led the girl away from the village that had let her fall to this, and, a few months later, a Hunter found her, and with difficulty brought the hissing, fighting, feral woman to his camp. As was their custom to. In response I scooted over and flipped the blanket up. She quickly slid in beside me and covered up. Even though she was three years older than me, we were almost exactly the same size. I asked what I had asked before, What are they arguing about? Instead of saying she did not know like she had many times before she said, You do not want to know. Now turn out the light. I reached over and turned out the light before asking, What do you mean? It is something about sex, she whispered. Then she. Laura and Michael were to be in the second round. They watched the others play and soon were up. Laura looked at Michael over her shoulder and shrugged as she spread her legs a little under the water. Michael caught a breath and ducked under, her legs weren’t spread enough as he opened his eyes. His hands went forward and he touched the insides of her calves, indicating to spread wider. Damn, he thought to himself as he touched her smooth skin and felt the muscular but soft legs as his.
