the bags.  He pulled out a length of rope.  “We’ll
lash her to you.  It will save your arms and help her heal faster.”
    He paused.  “How do you feel?  She’s been uh – sucking a lot
of your power for nearly a day.”
    James shrugged.  “I’m fine.”
    “Are you sure?”
    “Yes.  I’m a little tired but sleeping tonight will help.”
    “Not if you’re still trying to heal her, it won’t.” 
Nicholas argued.
    James scowled at him.  “I said I was fine Nicky.  She’s little.
 It won’t take long to heal her.”
    Nicholas rolled his eyes.  “Not if we can’t keep her from
being injured for longer than a few hours at a time.”
    “Enough.  The sooner we get moving, the better.  Lash her to
me.”
    Nicholas picked up the blanket from the ground, it was dirty
and bits of leaves were stuck to it, and shook it briskly.  “Do we undress
her?”
    James hesitated.  “Yes.  It’ll work better that way.”
    Nicholas reached for her shirt and James knocked his hand
away.  “Turn around Nicky.  She doesn’t need both of us seeing her naked.”
    Nicholas turned away and James slipped his arm under her
shirt and held her around the waist.  He used his other hand to tug the shirt
from her pale body.  Her side was oozing blood again, and the blood the vampire
had taken from her had left her even paler than usual and cold to the touch.
    He turned her until she was facing him, and held her against
his broad naked chest like he would hold a small child.  Her legs dangled
limply as he kept his arm firmly around her waist.
    “The blanket.”  He grunted.  Nicholas held it out without
turning and he draped it over her body, tucking it in around her sides and
under her ass.
    “Okay.”
    Without speaking, Nicholas worked quickly to wrap the rope
around Bree’s blanket-covered body.  With James’ help, he raised her legs
around his waist and wound the rope around them until they were held firmly
against James’ narrow waist, and then wrapped the rope around both hers and his
brother’s upper body until they were lashed together.  He tied the two ends
together in a knot at the small of her back and stepped back to admire his
handiwork.
    “How’s that?”
    Cautiously, James dropped his hands.  Bree’s body stayed
firmly against his and James grunted.  “That’s good.”
    Nicholas eyed his brother’s naked upper body.  “You want me
to try and wrap the blanket around you as well?”
    James shook his head.  “No, I’ll be fine.  Let’s go.”
    Tia whimpered quietly as Nicholas hooked both bags around
his body, and he scooped the small dog up and deposited her into one of the
bags.  Her head poked out of the top of the bag, and she peered around
curiously as Nicholas petted her head.  “Let’s go fuzzbutt.”

Chapter 4
     
    She was naked again and pressed up against him as intimately
as a lover.  She kept her eyes closed, feeling the gentle sway of his body
against hers as he walked briskly.  Her small breasts rubbed against his chest,
and she was embarrassed to realize that her nipples were hard. 
    “How are you feeling Bree?”
    She thought about pretending to be asleep but abandoned the
idea quickly.  He knew she was awake.  She tried to move her legs but they
wouldn’t budge from around his waist.  She opened her eyes.  Rope crisscrossed
her legs and she wiggled her entire body experimentally.  More rope was across
her blanket-covered back, and they were so tight she couldn’t push her body
away from his.
    “Why am I naked?”  She asked.
    “Skin-on-skin contact helps heal you faster.” 
    “How – how are you doing this?”  She couldn’t look at him. 
She wondered if he could feel how hard her nipples were.  New heat rushed
through her body.  She didn’t even want to think about the fact that he had seen
her naked twice now, and that her crotch was rubbing against his hard abdomen. 
The feel of his stomach against her naked center was making her
