Chapter 33: Chapter 33 - Kiema

I did a little more than get new clothes on. I took another shower. I didn't mind smelling like Ransom, I just didn't want to feel the slight grit of dried sweat on my skin all night.

"About time. I was about to send out the search party."

"Which would have been you?"

"Hey, your rules." He winked at me. "Dinner's ready."

I rubbed a hand over my belly. "Thank Gaia. What's on the menu?"

"Pork steaks and veggies."

"Sounds delicious." I sat in my customary spot at the island. The glass of water beckoned me. I took it, drained it in one go.

Wiping my lip, I held the glass out to him. A cheeky smile on my face. "Pretty please?"

He refilled it and handed it back. "A little dehydrated?"

"Yeah. My mouth feels like the desert. Or what I would assume the desert feels like." I bounced one shoulder in the air.

Ransom leaned in and kissed me. "Feels like a nice fucking mouth to me."

I rolled my eyes and pushed him back. "Food now. Sex after I ice my crotch."
