As much as she wished to force every feeling back down into her gut, she did realize how strong she felt towards the deal. It was strange but she would have never in a million years given that idea to anyone else. Katrina didn’t know how to lead, nor did she know how to co-lead with someone that she barely knew. Either way, she was delighted that he seemed to accept her proposal and felt a rush flood her bones as he asked her where they might call their ‘home’. “Oh,” she said with a small chuckle, “there is a forest nearby?” She asked him, wondering if her suggestion would be an A+ or if he would shoot it down without a second thought.
Katrina made to coax him into following her, meanwhile wondering if he felt the way she felt. How could she not find him devilishly attractive? Mother had warned her about good-looking males and here she was, trapped before one with no way out. That was a lie, obviously. There was a way out but Kat wanted to go in deep—she wanted to be sucked up by this guy’s tornado just to see who he was and what he wanted in life. He was such a mystery and everyone liked a good mystery! “Styx and Kat,” she chuckled to herself finding their names together were somewhat amusing. She was sure he might think it was, too, but later on down the line he would figure out that Katrina was the name that she had been born with, not being named after some feline crusader.
