Recognition, then Truce

Jade looks Paige over briefly. The blonde girl seems to have tried to make some rudimentary clothing for herself by tying some leaves around her waist and her breasts, but it hasn't worked very well and if anything just makes her look more enticing - something that Jade feels newly able to appreciate.

"You're the one who jumped off the cliff by the beach," Paige whispers. "I saw you do it. I thought you'd killed yourself."

"It was close," Jade acknowledges.

"How did you get up here?" Paige asks, suddenly looking scared. "If you can do it, anyone can!"

"I had some help. I took this from my last safe house." Jade holds up the hammock. "But you're right, just pulling up that ladder doesn't make this place Fort Knox. If we're both up here, though... we can help keep each other safe."

"No one's friends on this island," Paige says darkly.

"Fine then, we'll fight each other for it. And we'll make so much noise that it'll being a dozen men this way, and believe me, they WILL find a way up here. And then they'll take turns gang-banging us until we're both so covered in spunk it looks like we've been dipped in mayonnaise!"

"That's disgusting!"

Paige's tone matches her words, but Jade catches the involuntary dilation of her pupils, and the way her nipples harden behind the leaves which really don't cover them at all. She's feeling it too, Jade thinks. The horniness, the desire. She needs it. That gives me a chance to do this. Holy fuck, I'm about to try and seduce another girl!

"But, I see your point," Paige concedes. "All right, you can stay. I don't suppose you know what time it is?"

Jade looks up at the stars. With the sky so full of them, it takes her a moment to pick out the bright one she chose to help keep track of the time during the night. "I can't be sure, but I think it's been about six hours since sunset."

"That means I've been up here about an hour," Paige says. "Can't stay too long, of course. I saw what happened when someone else made that mistake, pretty sure it was the sisters. They both ended up nailed six ways from Sunday." Paige shivers, and then mumbles, "Chilly up here."

No, it isn't, Jade thinks. That's not cold that's making you shiver, and it's not fear either. It's excitement. You want what you saw those other girls getting, you can't help it. Out loud, she says, "All the more reason to help each other out. We sleep together, we can stay warmer."

"Huh? Oh... well, I guess that makes sense." Jade can't see it, but she's pretty sure the blonde girl is blushing.

"Come on," Jade says, patting the mattress. "If my sense of time is right, we have about two hours until sunrise, and I always wake up with the Sun. We won't oversleep."

Paige hesitates a moment, then lies down stiffly. Jade lies down next to her, making sure their bodies touch. I don't know how deep she's in, Jade thinks. She might actually be receptive if I just started feeling her up, but she also might kick me out of this treehouse. God, I wish I could touch her breasts right now... I might as well admit it, denying it's not going to help! She's so pretty, even with a day on this island having taken its toll on her. I wish I had lips like hers, full and pouty like that... what would they feel like? Fuck me, I'm so goddamn horny!

"Jade?" Paige's whisper is very quiet, almost like part of the breeze.

"Mm?"

"Did they catch you yet?"

"The men? Almost... I just barely got away a couple of times. Like the cliff."

"Me too," Paige whispers. "But now I'm wondering, why fight it? They're going to get us eventually. Maybe if we cooperate, they'll at least be gentle with us."

Jade takes a deep breath, and with one hand gently moves a lock of blonde hair away from Paige's neck, and then gives the spot a soft, tender kiss.

Paige whips her head around, startled. "What are you doing?" she asks.

"You're right," Jade whispers, looking Paige in the eyes. "Why should we fight it? I promise, I'll be gentle with you."

"But... you're a girl! And I'm not a lesbian!"

"Neither am I," Jade breathes, leaning in to touch her lips to those of the pretty girl in her arms...
