I carefully stepped out of the tub and accepted the huge fluffy bath sheet Wrapping it around myself, I padded out of the bathroom, into the bedroom, where the bed flirted with er? Sleep deprivation? Hunger? Sleep deprivation? Finally, sleep won out

As he pressed against my back, I felt his cock rise into a thick, hard erection, and I let out a littleall ry for sex, and hungry for food I glanced back at the bed where Trillian and Smoky were both dead to the world Morio noticed my look, then tookfor rabdown the stairs after him He peeked into the kitchen, then nodded The kitchen was still ee and du on the counter We slipped out the back door, out onto the enclosed porch, then out the door and down to the dewy grass I shivered, wishing I’d worn so heavier Late April in the Pacific Northwest tended to be wet and chilly

I inhaled deeply, catching the scent of cedar and fern and moss I’d come to love the smells of the forests here Over in Otherworld, Darkynwyrd and Thistlewyd Deep reminded me of the temperate rain forests Earthside, but around Y’Elestrial the trees were more deciduous

The path was covered with needle and leafhad fallen to for atop the logs A breeze fluttered through the air, picking up the scents of the forest and a to a clearing, where we’d set up a picnic table and benches in anticipation of the summer
