Chapter 187: Bloodwort

~ ZEV ~

Half an hour later they still lay in bed together, quietly, Zev's mind turning over everything that had happened in the past few days, and everything he hoped was to come.

He wasn't sure if Sasha was dozing, or just laying quietly like him. She lay with her back to him, her breathing quiet. He stroked fingers up and down her arm, but neither of them spoke. And her breathing was even. So, just in case she was sleeping, Zev kept to his own thoughts.

He'd told her the day before that he would keep her in bed for days, and the temptation to do so was definitely there. If his nose could be trusted, she still hadn't stopped wanting him. And he'd brought enough food and supplies to keep them going for a week, though they wouldn't be here that long unless they were snowed in.

Snowed in.
