pleasure shoots to my belly, to the tips of my breasts. His tongue worships me like I’m some kind of goddess and, moaning, I arch to meet him.
    He reaches for my sweatshirt and balls up the sleeve. “Here,” he says, handing it to me. “Use this to muffle your cries.”
    For some reason his words turn me on like nothing else. I stuff the sleeve of my sweatshirt in my mouth, and after that I abandon myself to pleasure. He brings me near the peak several times and stops just short every time. I throw the sleeve aside. “Please,” I beg him. “God, Axel. Don’t stop.”
    He smiles up at me, and it’s a little nasty. “I told you I’d make you come.”
    While he uses his lips and tongue to tease my clit, he shoves two fingers up my cunt, and even though I’m sore, the combination of pain and acute pleasure excites me. His fingers find an especially tender spot. God, I’m an animal, and I can’t stop rocking my hips in rhythm with the thrusts of his fingers and tongue. After one final series of flicks, I’m lost. I arch my back and draw in a sharp breath. I bite my lips until they’re bloody, but I’m completely lost to reason. It’s only the second orgasm of my life, but the intensity of it makes me want to scream. It’s all I can do to hold it down to a whimper.
    When my hips stop bucking and my toes stop pointing, he kisses my belly and shifts upward until his head rests against my breasts. In about thirty seconds he begins to snore.
    I have been well and truly fucked.
    That’s when I hear it. It’s a subtle sound, but still…I hear someone breathing over by the ladder. I go still. Is someone watching? A creek of the ladder tells me someone is there.
    I am not sleepy. I am wide awake, and I’m staring into the near darkness for any sign of movement. Should I wake Axel? I listen. I listen so hard it’s like I’m projecting my eardrums out into the universe, but the only sound that greets me is the crackling fire on the lower level.
    No one is there. No one ever was. I convince myself of this as I wrap my knees around my lover and clasp him to my chest.
    It’s a long time before I fall asleep.

CHAPTER FIVE

    Jerky again. This time it’s not beef. Yes, I can tell the difference. I don’t care how much garlic the chef used.
    “Can I have some of that water?” Maybe that’ll wash the taste out of my mouth.
    Axel is chewing. Vigorously. I laugh, but it’s totally graceless and comes out more like a snort-giggle.
    He swallows hard and smirks. “Groundhog. Makes good eatin’.”
    I’m still bursting with giggles when he hands me the water. The fact that it’s groundhog meat doesn’t upset me. Even in Sadie’s Bend we ate wild game. A team of guys went out and trapped a bunch of critters before they all started dying off, and we have cages full of edibles. They breed them, of course. The entire gymnasium floor is devoted to growing feed for them.
    I take a long drink, wash the gamy taste from my mouth, and screw the cap back on. Yesterday at this time I couldn’t find a laugh to save my life. That Centos guy. I’m still trying to figure these men out. Are they like mobile mafia? A biker gang without bikes?
    Axel is wearing an unnaturally good-natured expression. I don’t want to ruin it, but I have to know what it is that governs these people.
    “Is this code thing a secret?” I tighten up, expecting him to get weird on me.
    He slides me a glance out of the corner of his eye and turns the jerky over and over in his hands. He swallows, and his mouth puckers up. I’m just about to give up on getting an answer when he ducks his head and shrugs. He looks almost…shy.
    I don’t know why, but this touches my heart.
    “It’s not a secret.” He shakes his head. “It’s ours and we don’t share it with outsiders, but you’re not an outsider anymore.”
    He smiles. No, it’s more of a smirk, and I figure he’s thinking about my initiation.
    God, what is it with guys and sex? I roll my eyes
