Something of Value

It was hours later now after my passionate exchange with Keturah and faced with the current situation I wished that time with her had not ended. Flynn and Matt were undergoing a face-off of sorts. I let my gaze slip over to Keturah only to find her watching me hungrily. I stifled my own groan of yearning and focused on the task at hand.

In a tone that had no bend in it Flynn said, "I call dibs on the big battle wagon!"

"Well that's fine! I don't want that one anyway." Matt stated with equal tenacity.

Flynn appeared shocked and it was reflected in his tone when he asked, "You don't want the big one?"

"And give up speed and rotational calibration I think not! No the smaller battle wagon as you put it will fit my needs quite nicely." Matt said.

I spoke into the setting before anything else was agreed upon, "Well then that settles it. Flynn captains the big gunner. Ortega you man the boiler. Jim will manage the gun crews. Matt will take the smaller ship, while Serena and Christina will accompany me and the Whale People on their boats. Now I suggest that you practice your gunnery crews for at least some length of time before we ship off tomorrow."

Everyone nodded in consensus and the large group broke up into smaller divisions. I managed to navigate a surprised Keturah quickly out of the eyes of the others into a hidden doorway.

Pressing her back up against the door I asked, "Could you please explain this intoxicating effect that you have on me and the need to always have more that you so innocently inspire?"

Her mouth split wide into a grin as she leaned back against the wooden door my all too willing captive. Her eyes were a tease as her hands rose to encircle the back of my neck.

"It's a secret, but come closer and I'll give you the solution." She said seductively.

Husky voiced I said, "I do believe that you've graduated."

Her eyes implored me for more than just a kiss but I shook my head negatively and said, "Soon."

She sighed, but then rose up on her toes to say against my lips, "Then if this is all I can have for now then this I will take, but I want more Eli! So much more!" She breathed out as her lips pressed over mine with renewed passion.

Matt caught up with Elizabeth as she was making her way towards the center of the village platform, "Elizabeth could I have a word with you?"
