act but she felt the
need to explore her body and find the cause of that excitement. She didn’t
understand what was happening but she experienced a deep ache and pleasure
mixed together.
The thrill of discovery forced her to do something she’d
never done ― she wiggled her hand inside the leather strip of her bottom
garment and slid her fingertip through the folded skin. When her fingertip
rolled over a soft bud, something wicked shot to her chest.
She gasped. She was familiar with that bud because she’d
brushed flower petals against it after relieving herself but she’d never
experienced what she felt now. It was tingly and intense and…wonderful. A new
stream of moisture escaped from between her folds. She sucked her bottom lip
between her teeth and rubbed the nub again. Sparks ignited in her blood and her
belly somersaulted. As the skin around her private area swelled she rubbed her
finger up and down, dragging the moisture to the sensitive bud where she
rotated circles around it.
Her breath caught and her hips jutted slightly forward. Her
female parts throbbed. As pressure built, cresting in her chest and neck, sweat
broke along her brow and her breathing increased. She didn’t know what she was
reaching for but an underlying craving begged for more. She rubbed and circled
and teased that very private place. She needed to wiggle her hips but she
remained still in case someone entered the cave. Then all at once the pressure
became unbearable. Something inside her exploded. She snapped her eyes shut as
her insides sparked and colorful lights danced around in her head. Her bottom
throbbed and her belly jerked. While feeling as if her mind had left her body,
she rubbed inside her folds until the excitement turned into a pleasurable
pain. She squeezed her eyes, straining her neck as she fought the urge to cry
out.
She halted her finger’s motion and inhaled sharply. A few
moments later her entire body, from neck to toes, relaxed and her skin slowly
meshed against the bumpy clay ground. Along with the throb fading from the
inside of her thighs, her breathing returned to normal.
What had just happened? Where had all those sensations come
from? Why hadn’t she discovered them prior to today?
She pulled her knees to her chest and hugged them tightly.
Was something wrong with her? How could a body literally explode on the inside
with tingly excitement?
Reluctantly she opened her eyes and gazed at the gloomy
daylight outside the cave entrance. Why hadn’t her mom explained this? It was
the second physical reaction she’d experienced today that her mom neglected to
speak of. She’d taught Wisteria everything about a woman’s monthly cycles to
bearing children. Why not this? Had her mom never experienced it herself?
Sighing heavily, Wisteria closed her eyes again. She
couldn’t ask. She’d have to tell her mother what she’d done to provoke such
feelings. She’d rather keep that her secret for now. Whatever it was, it
drained her physically and made her very sleepy. She patted a yawn then placed
her hands together and laid them beneath her cheek. As her lids fluttered
closed, Vulcan’s face reappeared.
Chapter Three
“Wisty, wake up,” Ivy whispered, nudging Wisteria’s
shoulder. “Daylight shines over the land. In six more days you’ll be united
with Sledge. Don’t sleep the time away, sister.”
Wisteria’s eyes popped open. She glanced at her
surroundings, capturing the familiar details of the cave. She hadn’t moved nor
did the damp ground keep her awake half the night as usual. Had her thoughts
and dreams of Vulcan bathed her in comfort and chased away the cold? “I’ve
slept that long?”
“Yes. You didn’t eat last night so you’d better eat this
morning. I boiled the grains because Momma is worrying herself sick. Boar
didn’t come home last night.”
“He didn’t?” Where could he have gone? He wandered off all
the time but he’d never stayed away all night.
“No, and no
