The sun had set. The moon had risen and sunk again. And the sun was high in the sky once again. Brecken had walked beside me the entire way. Until he stopped and gestured for me to get behind him as he hunkered down on the ground, deep in the foliage, knees bent while he dug through his pack. Not a single word was spoken as we drank from the canteen and each ate another protein bar. A quick peek inside his pack revealed his seemingly endless stash of them was almost entirely exhausted. Only two bars remained, and I was nervous about what this meant for our journey. The idea of going hungry again after my experience with my captors scared me so much I almost couldn’t swallow the bar I was eating, but I forced myself to choke it down and trust in Brecken. He hadn’t steered me wrong yet, and I’d already displayed my faith by having sex with him under the waterfall. Thinking about how it felt to have him move inside me soothed my nerves, shifting my focus away from my fears while I relived one of the best moments of my life.
