The cabin glows softly, the moon shining in the single window. Star opens her eyes and the first thing she sees is Erik, sleeping on her couch. She watches him while he sleeps, intent on memorizing every detail of his face, the strong jaw line, his full lips, the way they felt on her mouth, his muscled arms.... She breathes deep, taking in his clean scent.
She sighs, convinced that he will not stay with her... Why did he stay? What does he see in me? Can he tell I dont want him to stop when he kisses me? Can he tell I have no idea what I am doing? I dont know how to please him or even if thats what he wants....
Star gently touches Eriks arm, her fingers slowly tracing the patterns of the runes tattooed there. Her fingers move up his arm, lingering on his neck, wanting to kiss him but not quite daring to.
Hearing a soft scratching at the door, Star quietly leaves the couch to see what it is. She opens the door and Wolf is there. He nuzzles her hand and rears up a bit, wanting her to scratch his ears. Star laughs quietly, rubbing his ears and lets him in.
Wolf follows her to the couch. Star gets another blanket out and settles in next to Erik. She covers herself and him with the same threadbare blanket and puts another one on the couch next to her. Wolf jumps up and curls up next to her, his head on her lap. With her head on Erik's shoulder and a hand buried in Wolfs fur, Star falls asleep.
