Lust in Aviation

Chapter 16

Ana POV

Christian may be a successful business man in the city but out in the wilderness he seemed indecisive and scared. Billionaire's rarely went camping.

"Is there any food in your emergency pack?" I asked.

"Nothing that is going to sustain us for any great length of time," Christian said

"I'm just looking to sustain life for right now," I replied as he handed me a small black bag full of bottled water and snacks.

We both ate several granola bars.

I nestled in close to Christian. The plane was shielding us from the elements but there was still no heat. We had nothing but our own body heat to combat the coolness of the night air. Christian wrapped is long muscular arms around my chest tucking himself behind me snuggly in a spoon position. My body relaxed in his arms. His touch was gentle and caring. If he was scared he was sure not to show it. There was a long hesitation as we both sat in silence enjoy each others presence before Christian spoke.

"In the city I'm a powerful businessman with all the power and privilege that I can handle but here," He hesitated "None of that matters. I'm forced to rely on you for direction and I'm not used to relying on someone else for anything."

"Relying on others isn't a bad thing and besides you can't be an expert in everything. I wasn't expecting you to be an outdoors type anyway" I giggled.

"You may be more savvy out here but don't underestimate me," He shot back.

"Don't worry I won't," I said enjoying the playful banter

"I didn't realize that you were so outdoorsy," Christian said

"I just went camping a lot as a child," I replied "I'm hardly a survivalist."

"Could have fooled me," He said adjusting his muscular arms around me in a more comfortable embrace.

We ate the snacks in the emergency backpack till they were gone. I knew that with all the food gone that we would be forced to travel into the woods to find something. Being that I wasn't an expert at finding food in the wilderness I was feeling just as uneasy as Christian, but for now I felt comfortable and warm nestled in Christian's embrace.

Christian POV

Ana and I woke up to the sounds of birds singing their morning song and the smell of fresh grass and clean air. My shifting body seemed to wake her.

"Did you sleep well?" I asked

"It was more comfortable than I thought," She agreed rubbing her neck and shoulders "I'm just a bit stiff."

"How about you?" She asked back

"I didn't mind it," I smiled.

She pushed the blanket off and weaselled her body towards the front door, I followed close behind. I couldn't help but admire the scenery it was beautiful. It not for being stranded this would have made a great vacation. Th trees were green and full. The grass a perfect shade of green. It was as though we were standing in the middle of a brochure.

"We can't stay here," Ana stated.

"I'm sure the rescue plane is not far away," I said "We can hold out for a bit longer."

"We need food. We can come back to the crash sight before the sun goes down." She suggested.

As much as I didn't want to leave I knew she was right. Staying at the crash site and waiting didn't make much sense.

"Ok," I agreed feeling slightly defeated "Lead the way."
