Chapter 6: I Know You’re Awake

I held my breath, waiting for Ashely to say something or react. When nothing happened, I started thinking about how I could fight them off and escape.

It was just Ashley and Soren, from what I could tell. I might not be stronger than the two of them but I was fast. My desire to survive was strong. If I could get to a window, I’d be able to flee before they detained me… I just didn’t know where any of the windows in this room were!

“Huh,” Ashley muttered.

This was it. Time for me to escape.

“Her wounds haven’t healed yet. I don’t understand why,” Ashley said with a sigh.

I started breathing again, lightly so she wouldn’t see that I’d been holding my breath. I guess I fooled her after all.

Ashley went back to applying the pain relief cream and I stayed still this time. Warmth and relief swept through me as my pain lessened. By the time she was done, I might be well enough to pick myself up and escape… at least, until the painkillers wore off.

It was hard not to relax and enjoy the soft, gentle touch Ashley applied, along with that remarkable painkiller.

My mind started to wander and I thought about everything they’d done for me. They’d rescued me from the sandstorm, given me a place to stay, tended to my wounds, and continued to take care of me.

Were they such bad people if they’d do that for a stranger?

Perhaps I was overreacting earlier, but either way, I needed to find out more about them before I let them know I was awake. Lying there and listening seemed to be my best option.

Ashley finished with the cream and she quickly swapped out the bandages on my blistered hands and feet. There was cooling gel on the fresh bandages and I nearly moaned with satisfaction.

“Thank you, Ashley,” Soren’s deep, delicious voice rumbled. “You’ve been a big help. I’ll watch her for now, you can take this rotation off.”

“Alright, get out of jail free card. I’ll be back in a few hours to check on her and give more medicine if needed,” Ashley said.

I heard her footsteps getting softer as she left the room. Soren didn’t move, though. I was laying there in bed, pretending to sleep, and he was hovering around like a big creep.

I understood why they wanted someone to watch me, in case I woke up or took a turn for the worse. But did it have to be Soren? From the sounds of it, he was some kind of leader. That meant, he’d be the hardest to fool and sneak around.

There were some rustling sounds. Soren must have shifted his position from where he was.

Suddenly, a soft breeze washed over me. My nostrils tingled with a familiar, tempting scent. I had to fight the urge to inhale deeper as my mind swam with the smell of warm cedar and amber, which reminded me of the forest.

I’d been in the desert so long, I barely remembered the forest but that scent was too much. Saliva built in the back of my mouth and I swallowed as inconspicuously as possible.

Heat from his body told me that he was really close. Close enough to touch if I just reached out.

What was I thinking!?

His smell might be tempting and delicious, but I wasn’t about to compromise myself, or my escape, by acting on some crazy impulse to touch him!
