#SusanneLiest #TheDeadGame
Susanne Leist graduated with an M.B.A. in Finance. Wherever life has led her, through the hectic commodities' markets or the number-crunching field of budgeting, she's continued to read and daydream. Unbeknownst to her, she had been pursuing her dream all along, her dream of putting her words down on paper for everyone to enjoy. She lives on Long Island with her husband, two daughters, and Maltese.
Her first book, The Dead Game, is a paranormal thriller with humans, vampires, and vampire derivatives. Her goal has been to write a book different than the usual vampire story or murder mystery. She wanted a murder mystery with victims, clues, and suspects. She created that and much more. The book has revolving rooms, traps, falling cages, and anything her active imagination could create. The Dead Game is a fun ride into the realms of the supernatural.
The Dead Game is availbe in eBook for $.99 and paperback for $14.95 at Amazon.

Welcome back to WIP IT UP WEDNESDAY. If you are new to this hop or are just deciding that joining this hop would be a great idea, visit the WIP IT IP WEDNESDAY blog home page at: http://wipitupwednesday.blogspot.co.uk/ to read the sign-up instructions. Also on that page, you will find links to other wonderful authors and their WIP.
This is my twenty-fifth week on this blog hop. Just a little heads up. I might not be around much until mid-July. I have a number of events, graduations, baby showers, etc. taking up a lot of me time, on top of working a few projects. I sent Resistant back to my editor yesterday, I’m working through what I hope is my last read-through of Saying Goodbye, I am back to writing OUTCAST, and I’m tentatively working on a new paranormal romance series. My brain seems to be on overdrive this month.
I’m continuing this week with an excerpt from my current romance WIP, Resistant. Resistant is a romance set in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. I going to continue to share from this novel until August, then I’m going to shift gears for a while. I’m not sure what I’m going to switch to as of yet.
Everything is still moving in a timely manner, which means that I’m still looking for Resistant to go on sale in August or September.
Anyway, on to the excerpt. This scene is a continuation from my last post. This one is a bit short because I want to build your anticipation to what is coming. I hope you enjoy it. J

Our lovemaking from there was slow and sensual, and I was coming in minutes, but he wasn’t which disappointed me greatly. He stopped moving once my orgasm past. I kept my eyes closed, fearing something bad was about to happen. Above me, he shifted slightly, fiddled with his jacket, then said my name.
Reluctantly I looked up at him.
“I love you. I know I have said it before, but I can’t stop telling you. I don’t want you to ever be unsure about it…ever.”
“Daniel, I…” was all I could get out. He raised his hand and between his fingers was a white gold band with four small diamonds set inside, not tiny, minuscule diamonds, but diamonds just big enough to make the ring look dainty, elegant, and perfect.
“I know we don’t have priests or preachers anymore. I know there is no one official who can legally preform the ceremony, but I still want you to marry me. Will you marry me?”
I began to cry, of course.
“Oh, baby, please don’t cry,” he said softly and kissed me gently. When I didn’t stop crying, though, he began to move inside me. Slowly at first, then faster and harder. My tears vanished instantly as my pleasure in what he was doing grew. Before I could come again, he stopped and said, “You didn’t answer me.”
I moaned in disappointment and tried to move under him, wanting the friction, needing to come one more time.
“Answer me, and I’ll give you what you want.”
I nodded my head.
He eased out to the point that the only thing that was in me was his head. “What was that?”
“Yes,” I began to say as he inched his way back inside me. I arched up so that he could go deeper, but his movements were more of a tease and not enough to send me over the edge.
“Say it again,” he said and pulled from me again.
“Yes,” I said, and he slammed into me. Over and over again he did this and each time he filled me I said yes until I was screaming out my second orgasm and he his first. As he shot into me, he smiled down at me in satisfaction. Minutes later, his penis went soft inside me, but he didn’t pull out. Instead, he leaned on one arm, held up the hand with the ring in it, and asked me to hold up my hand so he could put the ring on it.
I knew we needed to sit up, needed to get back on watch, but I wanted to stay that way forever, our bodies linked, our sweat mingling, him looking at me as if I were his world. As if sensing what I was feeling, he leaned down and kissed me passionately.
“I love you,” he said and pulled from me. With a handkerchief he pulled from his pocket, he cleaned me the best he could. Briefly, I wondered if the handkerchief had snot or something equally gross on it, but figured if it had, he wouldn’t be using it, then I wondered what a man his age was doing carrying around a handkerchief. The only people I knew that carried them were old men and men in suits, and I thought the ones in the suits were for show.
Sitting up, I looked out the window at the world around us and was shocked to see a herd of zombies ambling by not five feet from us. We had to have been making noise, rocking the truck, but they didn’t seem to have noticed us. Whatever had them entranced had a tight hold on them.
“That is so creepy,” I said, pulling on my panties and pants.
“What, seeing dead people move so roboticly or us having sex while they pass us by?”
“Both I guess. Not that the sex wasn’t good or that I regret your question.” I looked down lovingly at my ring.
He chuckled and buckled his pants, then turned his attention to the radio.

While writing Tower of Tears, D’Ettore gave her mother one chapter at a time for feedback. D’Ettore was undecided who the murderer in the book would eventually be, so she wrote the story with five characters hating and threatening the murder victim. Halfway through the book, D’Ettore’s mother shouted, “I know who killed him…. it was ####”. D’Ettore then finished the book with a different character as the murderer. When her mother read the final draft of the book, she replied, “That’s not who the murder is. I told you who is was.” D’Ettore then said, “I wrote the book, so I know who the murderer should be. Thanks.”

One night we found ourselves a good three hours north of camp, sitting in a truck waiting, watching, for the zombie herds to pass. We were scanning the radio stations, trying to pick up a signal. The assignment was routine. Weeks had gone by with different groups going out to random areas trying to make sense of what the voices on the radio were saying.
A half an hour before a herd was to pass through, Daniel pulled me over to him. For long moments, we kissed, held hands, and just listened to static and intermittent voices and sounds. Gradually, he slid his hand up under my shirt and around my waist. He unsnapped my pants, slipped his hand under my panties, and began to finger me. The angle wasn’t right to give me the pleasure I needed to come, but it still felt great. I sighed with contentment, loving the feel of his gentle strokes.
After a while, though, I grew restless. I shifted so that I could reach his penis over his jeans. I was a little shocked that he was hard. Knowing that simply touching me without being touched himself turned him on, made me love him so much more. I gingerly ran my hand up and down the hard length of him. He groaned, and I squeezed him.
My shifting gave him a better angle to touch me, so I opened my legs as wide as my jeans would let me to give him a better angle to explore me. As my need grew though, I grew impatient. I had to have him inside me. Without dislodging his hand, I shifted myself again so that I could reach his belt. I unbuckled it, then unbuttoned and unzipped his pants. He lifted slightly so that I could push and tug his pants down to his knees. This way I could touch his scorching flesh. He pulled my face toward him and kissed me.
As the kiss heated, and while trying to keep one hand on his cock, I pushed my pants down, then kicked off my shoes, so that I could disrobe from the waist down. Then I moved down to take him in my mouth. This action removed his hand from me, but I didn’t care at the moment. The way he looked down at me as I sucked teasingly on him, made me feel as if his hand was still down there circling me.
When he moaned my named, I released him, and moved to straddle his lap. I didn’t let him enter me, just slid my clit up and down on his erection as I kissed him. He allowed this for only a minute or so before taking control of the situation. He grabbed me by the waist with one hand while grabbing his cock with the other. He lifted me, then placed himself at my opening. I regained control and gradually took him into my body.
For a second I felt guilty for not paying attention to the radio or our surroundings, but that night wasn’t going to be any different from the others. Besides, what we were really waiting on was the radio broadcast.
I slid onto him with a sigh and nearly came at the feel of him filling me.
“God, woman, you feel so fucking good,” he whispered.
I leaned over and kissed him as I slowly rode him. “I love you. I love the way you love me. God, Daniel, I don’t ever want this feeling to stop.”
At my words, he pulled me tight, turned, and lay me down on the seat. Our lovemaking from there was slow and sensual, and I was coming in minutes, but he wasn’t which disappointed me greatly. He stopped moving once my orgasm past. I kept my eyes closed, fearing something bad was about to happen. Above me, he shifted slightly, fiddled with his jacket, then said my name.
Reluctantly I looked up at him.

I have a number of events, graduations, baby showers, etc. taking up a lot of me time, on top of getting my latest edit of Resistant ready to go back to my editor. We changed a large chunk of the last hundred pages, so I am definitely going to have to send it back to editing. This ending is much better than the last. I’m told that I should have a cover for this novel next month, so I guess I should get to writing a blurb.

Because the day after our first time having sex was a holiday, we had the perfect excuse to stay in bed pleasuring each other some more. By the time we exited our sleeping area the following afternoon for supper and celebration, the entire camp was abuzz about us. Apparently, several people had approached our sleeping area at various times throughout the day to ask a question or request help with something, but every time they did, they heard us making love and opted out of disturbing us. I was, of course, highly embarrassed, but Daniel wasn’t fazed. He seemed pleased that everyone knew he had finally taken me.
To him, life was the same except that now everyone knew for certain I was his, and he had no problems showing his affection in public. He was always touching me, holding my hand, hugging me to him, lightly kissing my head, my temple, my lips. When he was sure no one was looking, he would cop a feel or press his erection into my ass. Some women might have found this annoying or his actions as being overly possessive, but I loved knowing how much and how often he wanted me.
We had wanted each other for so long that we had too much pent up sexual tension. We had so much, in fact, that we couldn’t help but take advantage of every moment alone or every bit of down time we could get in the days and weeks that followed. I stayed home more often, opting for patrol duty inside the store so that we would be able to have similar shift schedules more often and he opted to run more missions with me. We took advantage of empty homes, department stores, gas stations—you name it we had sex in, on, under it. I never thought I could come that many times in one day, and be so turned on so often. The novelty of it would wear off soon, I knew, but I enjoyed every moment of it. We were like teenagers doing it for the first time.
There were times when people accused us of letting our relationship get in the way of our job, mostly this was by people who were jealous of us. Some complained that we had stayed gone too long on a run. I’m not saying they were wrong but things weren’t that out of hand. We got home before nightfall most nights with everything we could reasonably get. We didn’t ask for time off, didn’t show up to our jobs late, maybe a little tired, but not late. Those who knew and loved us told us not to worry about anything when I brought it up to them.
During all of that, I didn’t think I could be happier. I was wrong.

Daniel was sleeping deeply when I entered our area. I made sure I pulled the makeshift door closed as tightly as I could. I didn’t want anyone interrupting me. Turning around, I stared down at his sleeping form for a long moment. He looked so much younger than his thirty-four years when he slept. Rarely did his face appear softened and relaxed. I wished with everything in me to be able to take him away from it all. He worried about so much and took care of so many people. He needed a break, needed time to relax and enjoy his life.
Knowing that I wouldn’t be able to give him that life, I vowed to give him as much pleasure as I could as often as I could. Quietly, I slipped off my shoes and my clothes, and slid into the bed behind him. He didn’t move. As easily as I could, I cuddled up next to him, shaping my body around his, feeling his naked ass against the tops of my thighs. His body was warm and hard and the feel of him made me ache and want him buried deep inside me, warming all of me. Smoothly, I slid my hand over his hip and down to his crotch. His penis wasn’t hard when I reached it, but I planned on fixing that problem. I wrapped my hand around the thick, scorching length of him and slowly moved it up and down, rubbing my thumb over his head.
A grin spread across my face as he cock grew and grew and grew in my hand until I could no longer wrap my fingers around him fully. Beads of precum seeped from the tip, helping to lubricate my thumb as I moved over very sensitive areas. He was fully hard and breathing heavily before his eyes opened. He didn’t say anything just turned to look at me, grinning like a fool at me as I played.
“You’re a lusty little wench,” he said, eventually rolling onto his back.
I shrugged and leaned over to kiss him hard and long. “Only for you,” I said, pulling away to catch my breath.
He wrapped one arm around me and began to run it up and down my back. His fingers lightly grazing my spine. The sensation making me needy. I immediately went back to kissing him while slowly, teasingly, pumping him. I didn’t stay on his lips for long, though, I had a different job for my mouth. Pulling from him a bit, I shifted to nibble his chin, run my tongue down his neck, and kiss his chest. His nipples were hard and begging me to lick and nip them, so I obliged them. He groaned as I flicked the tip of my tongue over first one then the other. I kissed and nipped his chest and stomach as I made my way lower.
I looked up at him when I kissed the area just below his navel. His eyes begged me to keep going. His breathing grew ragged, as I trailed light bites and kisses down his stomach to his cock, where I continued to brush my lips lightly down his length and back up again. When I got to his head, I licked him, taking some of his precum into my mouth, then licking him again. Even though I would have loved to torture him, I was too needy, and as he whispered my name, I took him into my mouth.
I sucked and licked and kissed, until he was panting my name. My breathing had become ragged and though I wasn’t touching myself, I was on the verge of coming. Sensing this, he sat up quickly, pushed me onto my back, and slammed into me. The swift, hard movement was both painful and oh, so pleasurable. He muffled my screams by covering my mouth with his. His tongue worked inside me as he fucked me as hard as he could.
Over and over again he pounded into me. The sensations were too much, especially as he stopped kissing me and bent to take one of my nipples into his mouth. My left hand dug into his arm while my right slid between us and found my clit. This action surprised him and he sat back, slowing his movements, and stared down at my hand. Worried that he might take this the wrong way and feel as if he is unable to please me, I started to take my hand away.
“Don’t stop,” he said, grabbing my hand and moving it back. Heat flushed me at the intense look on his face. Wanting to give us both the most pleasure I could, I circled my clit then reached further to circle his penis then his sack, spreading my wetness all over him then bringing it back to my swollen clit. I circled it, pinched it between two of my fingers, then slid my hand back down and wrapped it around his penis.
Feeling him and the place where he entered my body was almost too much. For a fleeting moment, I wished that my body, my breasts were small enough that I could lean up, look down, and see what he was seeing. I would give anything to watch his cock slide in and out of me. See it dripping with my essence. These thoughts and the images they conjured brought me closer and closer to my climax.
“I don’t think I’m going to last much longer baby,” he whispered, gripping my hips harder and picking up the pounding rhythm again. He forced himself to look back at my face and into my eyes. I was too close myself, so I moved back toward my clit and began to finger myself with gusto. In seconds, I was coming and my inner muscles were milking him of his.
The feel of him spilling himself inside me was beyond intimate. I never in my life thought I would be this close to another person. I’ve had other lovers and had sex more times than I can count, but I’ve always insisted the other person use a condom. Daniel was the only person I’ve ever let inside me without one, making him the first man to ever spend himself in me. The lack of duel protection worried me, and I didn’t want to get pregnant, but I didn’t want to have a barrier between us when we did this. I wanted to feel every inch of him every time we made love, and I had the feeling we would be doing this a lot.
I moaned in disappointment when he pulled from me, instantly feeling empty without him in me. He smiled in satisfaction at my reaction. I wanted to pull him back to me, back in me, but I didn’t have the strength to move. He grabbed a nearby towel and softly began to clean me. As the rough towel moved over my sensitive flesh, I whimpered and squirmed. My reaction must have turned him on, because he replaced the towel with his hand.

What I Read this Week. 5-29-15
I finished reading, The Sexy and the Undead this weekend. It is all right. The novel needed a little more development to be really good. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22086642-the-sexy-the-undead
I finished reading Dead Tide Monday. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5571939-dead-tide
I finished listening to Forever Charmed Wednesday morning. This book wasn't for me. I found all of the characters annoying and the plot very underdeveloped. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17331698-forever-charmed
I finished listening to Deadly Sting Thursday night. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14058669-deadly-sting?from_search=true&search_version=service

Also on that page, you will find links to other wonderful authors and their WIP.
This is my twenty-first week on this blog hop. Just a little heads up. I might not be around much until July. I have a number of events, graduations, baby showers, etc. taking up a lot of me time, on top of getting my latest edit of Resistant ready to go back to my editor, we changed a large chunk of the last hundred pages, so I am definitely going to have to go back to editing.
I’m continuing this week with an excerpt from my current romance WIP, Resistant. Resistant is a romance set in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. I am roughly 250 pages into my latest read-through of the novel with my editor’s notes in mind. The novel is roughly 350 pages. Everything was moving smoothly until I got to where the largest changes started. I trudging my way through them. I’m still on track to get the novel back to her by the end of the month or the beginning of the next. If everything movies as quickly as I hope over the next few months, I’m looking for the novel to go on sale in August or September. I don’t have a cover yet, which I’m okay with because of the changes. I think I’m going to wait until late June or July to get with the photographer to finalize everything.
Anyway, on to the excerpt. This scene is a continuation from last week’s. I hope you enjoy it. J

I don’t know exactly how long I slept, but I woke a few hours later with a desperate need to urinate. To my disappointment, I didn’t wake with Daniel’s arms around me. He had turned so that his back was to me and was sleeping soundly. I understood that this position was probably more comfortable to him, but I missed his arms around me.
As quietly as I could, I got out of bed, got dressed, and grabbed my bag of toiletries. He didn’t move. I stepped out of our sleeping area. Aaron, one of the new guards from Dimitri’s group, was heading toward me. Everything was quiet and few people were out and about, but I knew there was still a rule against going to the bathrooms by oneself.
“Hey, Sahara, you need something?” he asked.
“Yeah, I’ve got to go to the bathroom and Daniel is asleep. Is anyone about than can stand guard for me?”
“I think Divya is still up. Hold on while I call her.” After a few seconds, he nodded. “She’ll be here in a minute.”
“I can meet her at the bathrooms.”
“That isn’t a good idea.”
“Why not?”
“Daniel would have my ass. Whereas we the rest of the men that came in with Marcus seem to be trustworthy, or at the least have decided they don’t want any trouble, we aren’t taking any chances and not just with those men. Anybody, male or female, could be capable of anything. We trust each other but this is the apocalypse and anything can happen.”
“With that logic, I shouldn’t be out here with you.”
“No, you shouldn’t be.”
I jerked back at his words. He laughed.
“I didn’t mean it like that. I’m not going to do anything. I’m not that kind of person. I have all that I need in someone who will remain nameless for the time being. I’m just saying, don’t make this a habit. Though with Daniel so close, a person would be a fool to even look at you let alone touch you inappropriately.”
I looked toward our sleeping area and smiled, thinking about Daniel naked under the covers. Aaron cleared his throat to get my attention. My face flamed, and I didn’t want to turn back to him, but I made myself.
“Uh huh,” he said, smiling. “So the two of you finally, uh, um…”
“Shut up. And what do you mean finally. Most people have assumed we’ve been together since the day we met.”
“Yeah, I know, but I knew better. When I asked, Daniel was honest about it.”
“What do you mean you asked? Why did you ask?”
His faced flushed a deep crimson, but this didn’t stop him from answering. “I was sure he wasn’t gay. Yet, one night about a month or so ago, I just asked. I asked him if the two of you were seeing each other, and when he said things were complicated. I asked if that meant he wanted something with you, and he said yes, but he wasn’t sure how you felt. That told me all I need to know about your relationship and about his sexual orientation.”
I was floored. I hadn’t known, hadn’t even assumed Aaron was gay. That just goes to show that you can never really know someone.
“I know others had asked him before,” he continued. “Most people didn’t believe him. I could tell he was telling me the truth. I knew after you were kidnapped that you two would finally come together. I saw the look on his face when he realized you were gone. He had finally made the decision.” He didn’t go on because right then Divya walked up looking way passed exhausted.
“About time,” I teased. “My bladder is about to explode.”
“Sorry,” she said, drawing out the word tiredly, then laughed. “I’m just getting off sentry duty. I’m resisting the urge to fall asleep right here.”
“Well, I’m perfectly capable of urinating by myself. It isn’t my fault we have this rule.” I regretted the words as soon as they were out of my mouth. I was trying to make light of everyone blaming me for the entire incident, but Divya’s unamused look said that my comment was not funny. “Seriously, though, we can call someone else if you prefer to go on to bed,” I said, trying to smooth things over.
“Nah, I’ve got go myself, and I want to brush my teeth before going to bed, so you can watch out for me as well.”
“Good, let’s go. I really gotta go.” I bounced up and down, dramatically doing the pee-pee dance. She laughed and shook her head. We waved to a smirking Aaron and headed to the restrooms.
We talked as we walked. She didn’t ask about Daniel or our relationship. A part of me really wanted her to. I wanted to have that girl talk with a friend. Wanted to tell someone about how happy I was. About how good the sex was. To tell them that Daniel said he loved me, but the days of girl-talk were long gone. Divya was a good friend, but we’d never shared our emotions or stories of our love lives, and sadly, I feared our lives would never settle down long enough for us to ever get to that point.
No, we talked about mundane things like training sessions, scouting missions, zombies, and other nonessentials. She updated me on people’s opinion of me. Although, Divya believed that most of the initial anger was blowing over. They wouldn’t trust anyone I tried to bring into camp for a while, but since Desmond and the others were slowly acclimating that fear would wear off as well.
She let me go into the bathroom and pee first when we got to the restrooms. After doing my business, I brushed my teeth. I had plans for when I got back to our sleeping quarters, and I didn’t want to have morning breath when I implemented them.

This is my twentieth week on this blog hop. I’m sorry about last week. I got a dizzy spell out of nowhere last Tuesday that kept in bed for two days, then would just pop up at random for the rest of the week. I think I only managed to read a handful of posts last week. I’ll try to do better this week.
I’m continuing this week with an excerpt from my current romance WIP, Resistant. Resistant is a romance set in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. I am roughly 150 pages into my latest read-through of the novels with my editor’s notes in mind. The novel is roughly 400 pages. So far, everything is moving smoothly, but I haven’t gotten to the stuff she wanted me to change it, but I’m creeping up on the first bit. I’m still on track to get the novel back to her by the end of the month or the beginning of the next despite being unable to do much last week. If everything movies as quickly as I hope over the next few months, I’m looking for the novel to go on sale in August or September. I don’t have a cover yet, which I’m okay with because of the changes. I think I’m going to wait until late June or July to get with him and finalize everything.
Anyway, on to the excerpt. This scene is a continuation from last week’s scene and ends the chapter. I hope you enjoy it. J

We lay there, foreheads touching, breathing hard, for a long time. He ran his hands up and down my back, over my ass. Most likely, he meant for the action to be soothing, but mostly what it ended up doing was exciting me. I leaned forward when I had had enough teasing and kissed him and nibbled his lower lip. His penis pulsed. I flexed my inner muscles and his hips jerked, slamming him deep into me. I flexed the muscles again and he jerked again. This time he was fully erect and I was more than a little wet. He slammed into me harder and it was all I could do not to cry out.
Loving the way he reacted to me, I flexed again. He gripped my hips, turned onto his back, placing me on top of him, and automatically, I began to ride him hard. I didn’t know for sure if I would come again. Normally I’m a one maybe two orgasm kind of girl, but it had been so long and I wanted him so much, that I hoped that the building pleasure would lead to another explosion of pleasure.
To help ensure that orgasm would happen, Daniel slid a hand between us to finger my clit and leaned up to take one of my nipples in his mouth. It took me longer than the first two, but I didn’t care. I loved feeling him inside me. I loved the pleased expressions that swept across his face as I moved. When I came, though, he took over. He pulled me down to him and pushed into me from underneath me over and over again, as I cried my pleasure into his neck. He didn’t last much longer than I did.
Eventually, he slid out of me, and I moved to lie beside him, my head on his chest and my arm draped over him. We dozed for a while. I ignored the wetness between my legs that was proof of what we had just done. It occurred to me then that we hadn’t used protection. I’m on the pill. The doctor who traveled with Michael and his men had given me a two-year supply the last time I had seen him, so I wouldn’t run out for a while and I had ferreted a few packs I had found in the pharmacies we had hit up for medicines and such things when we had them on the list, mixing brands might not be great and they would eventually expire, but I felt sure we were safe from pregnancy for the time being. Daniel hadn’t asked, but since he had seen me take them on more than one occasion, he hadn’t had to know.
Once or twice, I had started to explain why I took them, but to anyone who really sat and thought about it the answer was obvious. No, I haven’t been sexually active and hadn’t intended to be, but in case the opportunity ever arrived, I wanted to be prepared. This is not the type of world one wants to bring a baby into. Also, in this world rape was a real issue. We had run into more than one rape victim, both male and female. In case something like what almost happened to me, I wanted to be safe from that as well. It wouldn’t have protected me from disease, but pregnancy, most definitely.
Daniel also hadn’t asked me if I was clean either, but that conversation had also been unneeded. We were partners. To begin training with them, Michael and made me go through every test at their disposal. Daniel and been there for a lot of it, and to make me feel better he had offered up his own medical information. I had balked at first, but since he and I were working so closely together, it made sense that we knew each other’s medical history, the medications we had to take, our allergies, any other medical issues that may or may not come up in the field.
At some point in my reverie, I had begun to doze. I woke quickly, though, to the feel of something cool on my upper thigh, I opened my eyes and realized that I had rolled off Daniel, and was on my back. When I started to stir, he said, “Go back to sleep. I’m just cleaning you off so that you will sleep a little more comfortably.”
“Thank you,” I said and did as he said.
