Let Marcus sleep with her

"No, Marcus is right." Eris decides. "You should have the bigger sleeping space Brandon. You deserve a comfortable night's sleep after everything you've done for us today."

For a moment it looks like Brandon wants to argue but with a resigned sigh he nods in agreement and heads to his tent to prepare for bed, leaving the other two to linger by the campfire.

"I- I didn't think you'd agree with me." Marcus stammers. "Anyway, it's fine, I don't have to sleep in your tent if you're not comfortable. I'll just sleep near the fire."

"Don't be silly Marcus. I didn't go through all that trouble just for you to sleep outside. Besides, look how cold it is! The fire is dying out too." Eris points out.

"Ok..." Marcus trails off, before asking. "So how do you feel about the whole hero business?"

"Honestly, I've been trying to avoid thinking about it." Eris admits. "I don't think I could take the pressure otherwise."

"I'll always be here for you. No matter what. I hope you know that." Marcus looks earnestly into her eyes, and noticing her trembling hands, reaches out and firmly takes hold them. "Forever."

She smiles. "Thanks Marcus. That makes me feel a lot better."

"Eris... I-" Marcus is about to confess when a loud crack resounds from the dark forest, causing the two of them to jump.

They look around in fear, their eyes trying to peer past the encroaching darkness at the edges of the fire, but they see nothing.

Eventually Eris gives a sigh of relief and says, "It was probably just a wild animal. Anyway, what were you saying?"

The mood ruined and Marcus' confidence shot, he takes the easy route out. "I was just thinking it's time we head to bed."

In an awkward silence, the pair settle into their respective sleeping bags.

"Night, Marcus." Eris says, rolling onto her side.

Pretty soon, her light snores fill the tent. Eris has always been a fast and heavy sleeper. However, Marcus finds himself unable to sleep. Earlier, he had caught a glimpse of Eris changing into her nightwear and was greatly aroused to find that she was wearing nothing but a thin nighty. To him, she was as good as naked. And with a naked girl sleeping just inches away from him, there was no way he could get any sleep. Marcus' dick was rock hard and he contemplates whacking one off.

Then a great idea comes to him. 'Eris is right there. I could just jerk it to her and no one would know. Besides, this is nothing compared to what we did yesterday.'
