EIGHT. PLANS

We decided I should probably stay hidden in Lukas's rooms for now until we came up with a plan to bring me out to his keep.

He went out and got me some food, then we ate and chatted about each others lives and worlds.

I told him about how I loved to dance and about the cities I'd lived in, whatever I could think of. I spoke of movies and TV in general. I shared memories of my friends but soon it got too emotional, knowing I may never see them again.

Lukas spoke of how he had been trained to fight and defend as everyone here seemed to be. It sounded as if it were some training ground for the men to be ready for different things they had to do. Travelling far across the forest. Finding food, exploring the lands and even defending their home from others. Often people would come to the keep to train and then head out to the wild to create their own homes building new societies/factions. They didn't have money as suck helping each other with the essentials like food and water and a bed to sleep in. but then traded rarer items for favours or other items. Like fresh more exotic meat or a medical plant fount deep in the forest.

We planned what to do about me and decided to slowly introduce me to men Lukas knew well, and trusted, then bringing me into a wider selection of the keep. I suggested cutting my hair but Lukas was really against this insisting lots of guys had long hair here.

The day passed by fast, filled with the two of us sharing facts about our different worlds and planning how to get me settled here. Neither of us brought up getting me home. Maybe that should've been higher up on the list, but right now I just wanted to survive.

I crawled up the bed and then twisted under the covers. I looked up and Lukas was standing near gazing down at me.

"You really are so fleshy." He told me. Well not quite what a girl wants to hear. I just lay there looking at him not knowing how to respond to that. "I cant stop wanting to touch you." He licked his lips pulling me in. My eyes drew down him over his thick muscles arm his firm chest, flat stomach and then his muscled thighs and down eyes darting away. "Why do I feel like this?" He seemed to expect me to answer but I had nothing. After a moment I forced myself to look back at his face.

"Its just because I'm new to you. You would feel like this about any girl. It will pass when you are used to me." I said trying to tell myself this as much as him. The words made a pang stab at my chest.

"Mm, maybe that's true." Lukas pondered out loud. The throb in my check stung firmer but I tried to ignore it. He shook his head and then stepped closer to the bed lifting the cover and climbing in. The bed sank with his weight and I fell towards him arm brushing his before I shuffled back giving him more room.
