males can tell."
"They can?" I squawked, clutching my jacket tighter around me.
"Yes," he said simply and pushed some of his furs aside."Come, sleep."
I slowly sidled up to the bed, biting my lip.
"What will they do if I don't smell like you?" I asked worriedly.
He shrugged and gave me his back.
"Might try to claim Meanie, might not..."
"It's Mina. Mina ," I grumbled and climbed into the bed. "You better not be lying to me, Veck, or I swear I'll find a way and I'll shave your ass bald, literally."
He chuckled and adjusted his head.
"Veck's mate's feisty." He chortled.
I nudged him warningly.
"And don't you forget it."
He burs t out laughing, shaking the bed, his huge, white haired, brawny shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
I smiled a little at that.
He settled down after a minute and I waited, stiff as a board, wide awake.
Does he mean what he says...?
Only time will tell, right?
So... I waited, tense, stiff, biting the insides of my cheeks, a jumbled up pile of knots, the mental clock in my head ticking relentlessly as my wait grew longer and longer.
A considerable amount of time passed and I rolled over a little, letting out a quiet sigh, relieved.
I yawned, my eyelids growing heavy, giving in, succumbing to the pull of a comfy, warm bed and a night's rest, Veck's soft snore oddly comforting as I let the sand man have his way.
Well , I thought, drifting off to sleep, it's been a fucked up journey to abominable, bridal camp hell and right now it seems I'm stuck.
Hopefully not permanently.
But until then... It looks like I should be counting my blessings.
I turned enough to glance at the back of Veck's head, then his chest, relaxing when he let out a soft snore.
Time to look for the rainbow in this shit storm, Mina. Maybe there'll be a way home at the end of it...
At least I didn't end up mated to Kirch, right?
Could have been way worse...
****
I woke up smashed against a white furry chest, my bladder full to bursting, borderline about to pop.
I commenced poking Veck in the ribs, jabbing him so he'd shuffle off of me, popping out of bed anxiously as I ran around opening the doors to the cozy little hut, looking for a bathroom.
Without my personal heater blanket to warm me, aka Veck, it's kinda chilly in here.
When did we start cuddling last night?
Was it a mutual, gravitate towards each other in sleep snuggle or was it a one sided attack? Hopefully not prompted by me.
I cringed inwardly.
Yeah, Mina, wallow all over him while you’re sleeping, like that won't send the wrong message!
My bladder prodded me to hurry up, stealing all of my attention.
Gotta pee, gotta pee!
Door number one wielded a closet.
"Crap," I muttered, "I'm going to piss myself."
I danced around, trying to hold it in.
"Meanie?" Veck asked groggily.
" Mina! Not Meanie! Where's your bathroom? The john? The loo? I have to go pee, like right now!"
"Out," he said smiling a little at my pee dancing jig, pointing to a smaller hut a little ways away from the house.
I dashed out the door and ran to the bathroom, slamming the privy door behind me as I held my breath and peed as fast as my body would let me.
Hey, at least they have outhouses... don't know how I'd feel if I had to use more... natural methods. No, thank you!!! I shuddered at the thought.
I hurried out of the bathroom, ready to dash back to the warmth of Veck's house and hope they'd discovered soap , the awesomeness that is soap , so I could wash my hands.
Considering they go through the portal however much they do, probably learning some stuff along the way, I'm hoping that's the case.
I blew out a deep breath as I walked, reflecting back on last night, my esteem for Veck going up a smidgeon.
He kept his word...
He hadn't tried anything last night, phew , just like he’d said. Considering my current circumstances, that's promising .
"Meanie," the blue eyed devil from the cave the ot her day called as he hurried to catch up to me.
Where the heck
