Take a walk outside. Try to clear my head.

“Fuck it.”

You walk over to Alexandra and tell her you’re going to take a walk to get out of the cave air. She blinks and looks at you. “Oh, really?”

“Yeah, I’m tired of this place and want to stretch out a bit.”

“I took a walk outside yesterday for the same reason, but I didn’t go alone.” She comments.

“Don’t worry. I won’t go off far.”

Alexandra makes a face, worried about something. “Be careful. I’d like it if all 3 of us return to Amari. No one hurt. No one missing. Just us unbattered. I really need this to work out.”

“Why?”

Surprisingly, she smiles at your question. “You know what, Warren. You’re not so bad. You and I should hang out a little more after all this shit is over with.”

You let out a laugh. “Wow. Look at you. I thought I was only good for one thing.”

Her smile widens. You realize she’s actually kind of cute on her own. Then, her smile fades into a loose smirk, and she regards you with a friendly glance. “I know, I know. So shut the fuck up about it, yeah? Take your walk. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll know better than to panic when I don’t see you now.”

Once you’re dressed up and armed, you go outside; you find that the snow is melting and the weather is much better. Of course, it’s cold, and the wind bites through your layers, but you can ditch the snow shoes after a couple of feet. You even manage to find a trailhead buried under some snow that would have been wholly hidden when all the snow first came.

You use this trail to continue your walk. The clearing is a little rough, and you encounter a few patches of thick mud, which slows you down slightly, but you continue without much worry.

Your mind doesn’t clear. Instead, it becomes busy, and your mind works overtime in making ideas to get Flora out of Amari’s grip. You also considered the outcomes of double-crossing Amari and the rest of the ARS, but when that happens, you also remember Kenji’s warning that they have a long list of enemies.

You watch your feet as it disappears in the snow and reappears on the reflective surface of the powdery flakes. You are aware of how stupid you are right now, but you cannot snap out of your train of thought. So you press on for several more minutes until you suddenly walk up to a ledge.

Luckily, you aren’t in danger of bodily harm. The ledge is more of a step. You look up and spot a cabin. You lower yourself and spy on the building for a few seconds before you start looking around. There didn’t seem to be any other people, but if they didn’t want to be seen, it would be easy to stay hidden.

Feeling a little curious, you decide to explore the building. Once you close in on the cabin, you are surprised to see it in relatively good condition. The windows are unbroken, the door is closed, and there is no sign of recent activity. It might have been strange, but you figured it was used by the smugglers and hasn’t been accessed since the snowstorm.

When you get to the front door, you try to open it. To your surprise, it opens without a struggle. Once you are filtered inside, you find only one room. A fireplace is built into the wall, and a small cooking area is on the right. On the left are bunk beds. A large couch in the center of the cabin is big enough to seat 3. Everything is clean and ready for use.

You got over to the fireplace and looked inside. It’s empty, but next to the fireplace are logs and tinder. Now wanting to stay in here, you go ahead and start a fire. Once you have a fire snapping in place, you sit on the couch and listen to the relaxing sound of the fire.

You know this isn’t right, but you feel too comfortable to be alarmed. You lean your head back and sigh, closing your eyes as the warmth takes over. For some inexplicable reason, your pants tighten as your cock grows.

“This is so romantic,” a voice says beside you.

One of your eyes opens, and peek over. It’s Alicen. And she looks like Jordyn again, but she’s wearing a white blouse and a red skirt with stockings– and she has a tail and a set of curled horns. She walks her fingers up your arm and crawls into your lap before kissing you. You throb against her as you hold onto her hips.

“You’re revisiting me,” you murmur close to between a tongue lashing.

Alicen giggles. “You walked into my cabin, baby.”

You continue kissing, but Alicen stops. “You aren’t already fucking me, so I guess there’s something on your mind. You want to talk about it?”
