The damp sweat made Fiona's skin feel itchy and sticky with filth. She had cleaned her bloodied cloth in the shore water, happy that Mother Nature had given her mercy and shortened her usually lengthy cycle to 5 short days.
In all of those lazy hours of unrest and no labor, Sutock made a daily short appearance. Everyday he would come through her window, leave some food, and, of course, licked her face.
Fiona had stopped feeling tense around him, allowing him to rub his scent all over her skin without any fight. She quickly realized why he had been doing it, of course. Even though she would never admit it, permitting the attentions of such a virile man, however innocent, was a sin of lust that she allowed herself to indulge.
Having never felt the touch of man before, the coiling in her loins were yearning to be sated. Fiona had chalked it up to menstrual-induced sexual psychosis, but knew better than to ever fully believe it.
It was mid-morning, the sun close to full mast. She had written everything and anything that she could see of the man at that point and felt at a road block. He wouldn't do more than deliver and lick. Not much more interaction than that had occurred and it was starting to piss her off that she couldn't think of a plan. Everytime he came around, her body would just melt, specifically, her brain..and other places.
Hearing her screens being pushed aside, Fiona turned in her chair, confused at the appearance of the man who's habitual visit wasn't patterned to be scheduled for hours.
There he was, standing in her dank , little box looking like the Norse god of the rainforest. Looking intently at her like she was his goddess.
She silently told herself to look into how he had not burned to a crisp in this damning sun that even she, in her darkness, had troubles with.
"Sutok!" She said, standing from her seat.
"Fee." He replied gently, nodding in acknowledgment.
They stood awkwardly, just looking at each other.
What do you say to a man who can't speak the common tongue? Fiona thought, racking her brain for a way to extinguish the silence.
However, before she could think of one, Sutok walked over to her and grabbed her hand, immediately turning to lead her out of the hut.
"Sutok?" Fiona questioned, confused at the new occurrence, moving quickly on her tippy toes, trying to keep up with his hasty pull.
