Chapter 31

It's pouring rain outside, and we're drenched to the bone. We were in a dry but we'll lit cave in the woods. We found shelter in the ave, it was inviting. I shiver, teeth chattering. Derrick wraps his arms around me, trying to warm me up. I lean against him, seeking comfort in his embrace. The cave was empty, I was drenched to skin. All the cervices of my body were visible through my thin dress. My body looked glossed under the mysterious lights in the cave. My nipples were pointing out toward him. He looked away quickly and swallowed hard. He had saved me from the rain and brought me to shelter. I was cold. Awkwardly, I wrapped my hands across my chest to keep myself warm. I was shivering. The water on my hair ran down my back. There was an already lit fire in the cave. He held me close and wrapped his arms around me. The rain fell in wild torrents, there was a storm outside. “I'll take you back to the palace, you need to get dry.” He suggested. I shook my head negatively in tears.
