High Altitude Romance
The car gently pulled away from the Silent Walkers Pack's territory and rolled unto the road.
Not used to waking up this early, Lucien quickly became sleepy. The plush headrest, the comfortable seat, and the car heating system did not help keep Lucien awake at all. The man was quickly lulled back to sleep.
He was gone for only around ten minutes before Ronan pinched his cheek and kissed him awake.
"Wake up, Lulu. We are here."
Lucien mumbled something incoherent and rolled on the car seat to continue sleeping.
Ronan chuckled. He peppered Lucien's neck with kisses as he coaxed him into waking up.
"Rise and shine, sleepyhead. If you don't, I am going to carry you out of the car."
"I can walk alone," Lucien mumbled while rubbing his eyes and squinting at the scenery ahead of the car.
As far as his night vision allowed him to see, they were in the middle of a vast clearing. There was nothing in there but emptiness.
