“I am.”
“Let me help you.”
“Help me?”
Felix couldn’t think of a time in his life when anyone had wanted to help him. The idea felt foreign and uncomfortable to him now. She wanted to help him? She wanted to help the monster?
That was strange, but he liked the idea.
Maybe strange wasn’t always a bad thing.
It was his turn to hold still as Tabitha tugged at his clothes, pulling them off. She took her time undressing him. Apparently, she wasn’t worried about his need to warm up. She just seemed to enjoy looking at him, touching him.
She seemed to like the way that he was exploring her body.
“You’re pretty damn hot, Felix,” she murmured.
“Excuse me?”
Nobody had ever talked to him like that before.
“You’re hot,” she repeated. Tabitha reached for his abs, stroking his muscles. She touched him with her fingers, moving her hands from his abs to his hips. Then she touched him a little bit more.
“Thank you,” he said.
Somehow, Tabitha seemed to think that was very funny because she threw her head back and laughed.
“What?”
“That’s just a nice reaction,” she said. “Most people wouldn’t react like that.”
“How would they react?”
“Maybe by kissing me,” she said.
Her hands moved a little lower, and his cock twitched. He wondered if she was going to move her hands even lower. Was she going to touch him there? Was she going to tease him? Taunt him? Play with him?
Wouldn’t that be a strange surprise?
He hadn’t seen another person in six months, and the first woman who showed up on the island was Tabitha: a gorgeous woman who was probably a witch, and who might very well be trying to hunt him and the woman who had kidnapped him.
He didn’t care, though.
Not now.
“We need to warm up,” he said, clearing his throat.
“Do you have some blankets?”
Tabitha kept looking at him. She didn’t look around the cave. She’d seen his stacks of books, and the shelves he’d lined the walls with. There was a pile of bedding in the corner that he had hauled here. There was a quilt and a small soft mattress he’d made himself. Yes, there were blankets.
“I can think of a better way to warm us up,” he whispered.
Then he leaned his head down, and he kissed her.

Oh, so they were going to do this, were they?
