Thread: Wolf Mountain {Darkest Nightmare & Vertigis}

Tara and Holly had gathered around the fire ring while the guys set up camp. They were sorting through the packs to figure what to have for dinner, although the options were quite sparse. It was mostly all prepackaged foods, bags of pretzels, cheese and crackers, etcetera, as well as a few items that could be roasted over the fire like hotdogs. Tara wasnt especially enthused by looks of any of it. She couldnt help but think a vacation at the beach with some nice restaurants and hot clubs nearby would have been about a hundred times preferable to a weenie roast in some rustic old campground. There was at least one silver lining though, she had to admit. Tara wasnt a big admirer of nature but the area Logan had picked was borderline gorgeous. They had a perfect view out over the calm forest lake which seemed to sparkle in rich hues gold and red as the setting sun reflected off its surface. A gentle little late summer breeze blowing in off the waters had cooled her down from the long hike, enough so that shed dug out a dark purple hoodie from her bag. Shed yet to put it on though and for now had just draped it over her long tanned legs, entirely bare from the mid-thigh down due to tiny cutt-off denim shorts. Probably not the best camping outfit, she knew, but completely worth it when she caught the look on Ethans face upon first seeing her in it. She was pretty sure Logan had been sneaking glances all day as well, a fact which made her smile privately to herself. Holly was cute enough but when it came to holding mens attention, Tara was confident she held the winning hand. She certainly had Ethans. The kiss had been a surprise but definitely a hot one. The firm press of his soft lips against her own while his strong hand clasped her slim neck had sent a little shiver up her back. A strong masculine scent of sweat and aftershave wafted into her nose, and her fingers had reached up to brush against his cheek in return, gazing back into those expressive blue eyes. He was definitely getting a lot closer to earning his way into her pants tonight, alright. Maybe the clean forest air was doing something good for him. Or possibly it was just the pot, who knows? It was certainly doing its thing where she was concerned. Tara felt none of the queasiness shed felt the last time but she did feel more relaxed, and even found herself able to get along with Holly as they sorted through the packs. Her eyes brightened a little as she drew out some graham crackers and chocolate bars with a bag of marshmallows. Smores, yum! She was actually feeling a little hungry all of sudden, helping herself to some of the trail mix while they sorted things. Watching the guys setup the tent bare-chested, the sweat and exertion bringing a light glow to their skin, bringing out in the definition in their arms and chests, they whispered comments back and forth. For some reason Hollys comments were making her giggle constantly, even the not-so-funny ones, and Ethans well-formed abs were a thing of pure sex. I need to go check with Logan on something, okay? Holly announced, You good? She nodded absently, munching on another handful of nuts between sips of water, mind wandering lazily as leaned back. Maybe camping wasnt that bad, after all Holly was smiling to herself as she stood up, dusting her hands on her khaki shorts. Lightweight Tara was clearly more than a little high from their shared joint. At least shed stopped complaining though, and she herself had made a renewed effort at being friendly towards the girl. They werent going to end this trip as besties, but that didnt mean they couldnt try to get along, at least for the guys sake, if not their own. And I should make allowances. This really isnt her thing. Shes probably doing her best to be cool about it Plus she knew this trip was important to Logan. Hed certainly come well prepared enough, like a good boy scout, although that wasnt a term shed normally associate with him. His pack seemed to be stuffed with tools though, not just the pistol, but also a small hand ax and an almost comical amount of rope. Was he planning to have them scale the mountain too while they were out here, shed wondered with an inward laugh. She was heading over to ask him where hed put the matches when she overheard the end of his pep talk to Ethan. It gave her some pause. It gave her more than pause actually. Her brain had trouble deciding what to make of it actually. She knew Logan had a habit of speaking coarsely but Oh. Justah, matches, Holly answered with a faint smile as he turned her way. I think I just remembered where I saw them though. And a swim sounds great Or it would have even just a few minutes ago. Now she was feeling conflicted. Holly continued to struggle with her warring emotions all the way down to the lakes shore, where she pulled off her light green tank top, revealing the lacy pink bra beneath it. Large full breast were pushed together to form a pleasant crease of cleavage and her belly was flat and smooth beneath with soft light skin. Logan had seen her naked plenty times before of course, and she told herself she should just concentrate on having fun as she watched him pull off his shoes. She couldnt shake what shed overheard though, and with Ethan and Tara still lingering back at the campsite, where he was no doubt trying to coax her into joining them, it might be her best chance to bring it up. Soah, I heard you giving Ethan some advice back there. I wasnt eavesdropping I justheard. I guess hes a little hesitant around girls and Oh, quite dancing around the issue, she thought irritably to herself. Is that your dating philosophy then? That women are just bitches to use? Holly shifted uncomfortably on her now bare feet, crossing her arms, voice rising a bit in anger without really being aware of it. Is that how you view me ?
