straight?"
    "Sure."
    I shook my head.
    "I'll take breaks," he said. "When I have to piss. Or to gather water. Or when you decide that you want to fuck right here on the forest floor."
    "I will never fuck you in dirt," I said.
    "Sure," he said. "Maybe you'll just end up with an irresistible urge to suck my cock."
    That same rush of blood happened. Something about being talked to like that. But I shook my head again. "I'm not that kind of girl," I said. But there was some part of me that didn't believe it anymore. Some part that just wanted to go for it. Get down on my knees and suck him off right here. Let it spray all over me.
    I was practically dripping just thinking about it. That and the feeling of his impossibly strong arms around me made my knees weak, so it's a good thing I wasn't standing.
    We walked in silence for a while. I say silence because neither of us were talking - but if you've ever been in a forest then you know they're far from silent.
    There's the constant sound of crunching and snapping and squishing under each footstep. There's the sound of the leafy trees rustling in the wind - the very same wind that those trees shield you from. And of course, there are the sounds of life.
    Birds chirping and whistling. Squirrels chittering. Small animals running through the bushes and ferns. I was calmed by all those noises - even though I shouldn't have been. The situation didn't warrant any calmness.
    Maybe it was just the inevitability of it all that made me calm. Not that it was inevitable that I'd be kidnapped - I still wasn't sold on that part.
    But it's not like I was about to jump out of his powerful arms and then out run him on a twisted ankle. For now, I really only had the one option that was happening. It felt like there was no use in worrying about it.
    At a few points during the walk, Darriel stopped. He looked around. As if he'd heard something. Like there was something wrong. But he'd never say anything. And after a moment, he'd continue walking as if nothing had happened.
    We broke for an early dinner. The sun was becoming lower in the sky, but there was still enough light to watch Darriel expertly start a fire, and begin to cook. The smells wafted over me. I hadn't been very active throughout the day, exactly, but I was still quite hungry.
    He fried up some Canadian bacon, some potatoes, and another couple of eggs. Sprinkling some green spices over all of it, along with salt and pepper.
    Then I remembered I was supposed to be dieting. He start loading up my plate, and I didn't want to ask him to stop. It smelled so good.
    I'd heard one time that if you just eat slowly, you won't eat as much. It takes time to feel full, so if you eat slowly you'll know when to stop. So that's what I tried to do. It felt crazy to be caring about my weight in such a position, but there wasn't much else that was under my control in anyway. Although my ankle was starting to feel a bit better.
    "What are you doing?" asked Darriel as he scarfed down his entire plateful.
    "Huh?"
    "Not hungry?"
    "No," I said. "I am hungry. But I'm trying to cut back on... well, food I guess. Trying to take off a couple of pounds."
    "Why on earth would you be doing that?"
    I looked at him. Had he not seen me? "So that I look better."
    "That is not something you should be worrying about," he said. "You're beautiful. I am so glad that fate has drawn us together."
    "You kidnapped me," I said. "Also, I would be a bunch more beautiful if I wasn't so... plump."
    He scooted towards me on the ground. "That is not the case. You're already so ideal."
    "You're crazy," I said.
    "No," he said. "I'm not. I'm telling the truth."
    I stared at him, and he continued.
    "See, maybe in movies and magazines and stuff, all the women are skinny like sticks. And sure, some men like that. And some women like looking like that. But to be honest, I don't like it one bit. You know why?"
    I shook my head.
    "Because that little bit of 'extra' weight on you makes you look so
