Great Bear Wilderness [m] forty-eight hours feels so much longer

No worries! I'm going to go ahead and wrap this up, only because it's starting to get dated. We should have another now that I'm getting back into the swing of things!

Now that Starling was beneath her, Fox took a moment to admire her. While she'd never been one to put too much weight on looks, Starling was attractive. And in a much different way that Peregrine had ever been. Already, Fox was getting ready to tell him all about this second little encounter. It had worked like a charm the last time she'd recounted her story to him, and she had no doubt that it would get his blood flowing a second (and third, and fourth...) time. What came next was easy enough to guess.

When they were through, Fox was panting heavily, giving Starling tiny kisses of affection up and down her jawline. Still, she did not know how long these meetings would last. Nor did she know when the next one would be. Fox was not about to make any promises she could not keep. When she finally peeled herself from Starling's embrace, she gave her lover one last long, lingering look before making her way back to her home. They would meet again, Fox did not doubt, but time would pass between now and then.
