“I’ll
be
in
the
next
roo
m
.
G
o
to
sleep,
Meeka.
Y
ou’re
safe
here.”

Kerrigan
sat
d
o
wn
at
the
top
of
the
stairs.
Catz
glared
at
him
from
the
bott
o
m
. “Don’t
start in
on
m
e,”
he
said
with
a
deep
sigh.

“It
doesn’t
take
m
uch
to
notice
the
way
the
two
of
y
ou
look
at
each
other,”
Catz
said.
“
The question
is,
what are
y
ou going
to
do
about
it
?
”

Fr
u
strated,
Kerrigan
spoke
out
harsh
l
y
.
“I’m
not
i
m
mu
n
e
to
her
char
m
s.
Do
y
ou
have
any idea how hard
it is
to turn aw
a
y from her
ti
m
e
and t
i
m
e
again? I
don’t kn
o
w
how long
I can
keep resisting
her.”

Catz
walked
up
the
stairs
sitting
just
below
hi
m
.
“
I
know
how
irresistible
she
is.
I
alw
a
y
s give
in
to
her.
I
know
y
o
u
care
for
her,
just
as
she
does
y
o
u
.
She
near
l
y
killed
St
r
y
k
er
tod
a
y because
he
threatened
y
o
u.
Not
because
of
m
e,
or
a
n
y
o
ne
else.
She
hesitated
until
he
m
en
t
ioned
y
o
u
.
”
Catz
paused.
“
S
he’s
a
wo
m
an
falling
in
love.
Be
careful,
Kerrigan.
Fates
are
cruel.
Don’t give
in
to
scratch
an
itch;
it
would
devastate
her.”

“It’s
killing
m
e
to
st
a
y
away
from
her…to
be
harsh
and
to
pretend
I’m
not
interested
.
” Kerrigan
felt
unco
m
fo
r
table
speaking
like
this
with
Catz.
He
stood
up
and
walked
down
the stairs.
“
I
’ve
gotta
go.
I’ll
be
back
later.”

* * * *

Catz
watched
h
i
m
go
down
the
stairs
and
around
the
corner.
Not
m
uch
could
stop
the
fates
w
hen
they
decided
on
a
pairing.
H
ow
cruel
life
could
be.

Chapter
T

O
ne

Jager
hated
this
place.
Even
To
m
bs
was
nicer.
N
obo
d
y
ever
ca
m
e
here
to
the
Forest
of Li
m
bs.
It
w
a
s
no
wonder
Thalius
wanted
to
m
e
e
t
here.
By
the
t
i
m
e
Jager
arrived,
night
had fallen.

The
Forest
of
Li
m
bs
was
eerie.
O
n
l
y
the
m
oon’s
light
ill
u
m
i
n
ated
the
trees.
Branches
with no
leaves
s
pread
wide
like
fingers
on
a
skeleton
waiting
for
unwary
travelers.
Soggy
ground cushioned
his
steps
and
fog
crept
along
his
feet
while
he
tried
to
st
a
y
as
far
aw
a
y
from
the
trees as
p
o
ssible.
A
putrid
s
m
e
l
l
of
m
old
drifted
through
his
nose.
He
preferred
the
s
m
e
l
l
of
rotting flesh.
Cries
and
w
hi
m
p
ers
quiet
l
y
echoed throughout
the woo
d
s.
Jager kn
e
w
nothing in
the forest could
harm
hi
m
, but
the
trees
could
definite
l
y
cause
him
to
be
severe
l
y
del
a
y
e
d.

They
were
to
m
e
et
in
the
clearing,
which
w
a
s
a
great
idea
because
nobo
d
y
w
ould
be
there. The
trouble
was
getting
through
the
trees
to
get
there.
Jager
couldn’t
teleport
to
get
through
the forest.
He
had
to
go
through
the
fucking center
of
it.

Straight
ahead,
J
ager
could
see
a
very
large
tree.
It
stood
twisted
and
tall,
easi
l
y
ten
t
i
m
es wider
than
he
w
a
s.
He
stopped
and
considered
his
options.
Oka
y
,
there
were
no
options.
He
had to
go
around
it.
The
probl
e
m
w
as
not
so
m
uch
the
large
tree,
but
that
in
order
to
pass
b
y
it,
he had
to
squeeze
between
the
s
m
a
l
ler trees
on
either
side.

“Shit,”
he
s
wore…
j
ust
m
a
y
be
he
wouldn’t
encounter
an
y
t
h
ing
strange
while
bushwhacking.
N
ot
like
l
y
.
Bizarre
events
took
place
in
The
Forest
of
Li
m
bs.
Jager
m
oved
forward
cautious
l
y
, w
i
shing
the
da
m
n
fog
would
get
off
his
feet.
It
churned
between
his
legs,
hindering
his
m
oveme
n
t.
Then
he
heard
it—the
soft
sighs
and
panting
of
s
o
m
eo
n
e
e
n
jo
y
i
ng
extr
e
m
e
pleasure, the
voice
definit
el
y
fe
m
a
le.

He
was
a
sick
bastard
w
hen
it
c
a
m
e
to
sex.
He
didn’t
real
l
y
care
w
hat
the
creature
was
as long
as
it
was
female.
He
actual
l
y
prided
hi
m
self
on
his
unusual
appetite.
Jager
knew
being sexual
l
y
aroused
in
The
F
orest
of
Li
m
bs
would
not
be
a
good
idea,
but
his
cock
tightened beneath his
breeches. His feet
followed the
m
oaning
until
he
saw her
l
y
i
ng
up against the base of the
large
tree.
She
writhed,
thrashing
her
head
from
side
to
side.
Her
ar
m
s
were
stretched
out
to the
sides,
tethered
at
the
wrists
with
green
vines.
Her
pale
bo
d
y
and
long
green
hair
shone
in
the
m
oonlig
h
t.
Her
legs
were
bent
at
the
knees,
spread
wide
with
her
feet
fir
m
l
y
planted
on
the ground.
The
sa
m
e green
vines
also
secure
l
y
bound
her
ankles.

All
other
thoughts
fled
Jager
’
s
mind
as
he
stared
at
her
wet
cunt
spread
wide
open
and inviting.
He
stu
m
bled closer,
mindless of
a
n
y
t
hing else
around
hi
m
,
and
stood
between
her
legs.

She
lifted
her
head
to
stare
at
him
with
green
e
y
es. Seductive
l
y
,
she
licked
her
lips. Jager
al
m
ost
ca
m
e right
there
on
the
spot.

“Oh,
please,
let
m
e touch
y
o
u,”
s
he
begged.

Jager
fu
m
bled with
cl
u
m
s
y
fingers,
t
r
y
i
ng to
undo
the
button
on
his
pants.

She
stuck
her
long,
pointed
tongue
out,
beckoning
him
forward.
“Ohhh,
y
o
u’
r
e
so
hard, please
co
m
e
closer
so
I
can
taste
y
o
u
,
”
she
i
m
p
lored.
