Her head was turned to me and she said smiling, "I wish you would've." Her voice was kind of hoarse sounding, but her meaning was clear.

I lay one of my arms across my eyes and said, "I wish I would've too."

Suddenly I very much wanted to survive a battle that before I might have mercifully used as a means of putting an honorable end to my life and the pain that it had brought me to keep on breathing. Life wasn't such an empty emotional vacuum anymore.

Unwittingly my mind dwelled on my companion's luscious form and how badly I had wanted to take things further a moment ago.

First the battle. Kill the giants. Rescue the slaves. Escape the island and then…… then I would lift the hem of that dress as high as I wanted to!

I still felt guilty inside, but not enough to keep from making a new life with Keturah. Laura had been a special person and so was Keturah. How did I rate having two such women in my life?

Keturah's fingers grasped my arm and pulled it aside and pressing closer she kissed me. She drew back quickly from the kiss with a horrified look and pressed one hand to her mouth.

Curious at her reaction to the kiss I asked, "What's the matter?"

"I was just throwing up! I'm so sorry! I……"

Reaching up I speared the fingers of one hand through the beaded mass of her hair as I pulled her hand from her mouth with my other hand and roughly said, "Like I care!"

I pulled her head back down to mine for a kiss that reflected all the passion that I felt for her.
