Taryn normally was up before the day began to heat up but this morning she was wrapped in a dream that was erotic. She moaned in her sleep, but clutched the warm blanket that had been tossed over her. A strong insistent hand gripped her shoulder,<br/><br/>"Taryn, its time. You can't sleep any longer." the husky voice sounded low in her ear.<br/><br/>In the haze of dream passion, she opened her eyes to see his concerned emerald gaze, Relaxed and amorous, she murmured, licking her lips and reached out to pet his face, tracing the lines of his mouth.<br/><br/>He shook her more firmly.<br/><br/>"We have to go. It is important to reach the Hyane without being detected. Their guards are none too intelligent but excellent at killing. We don't want to go in as intruders and prisoners. We need to go in as the ambassadors we are."The urgency of his voice penetrated the sleep fog.<br/><br/>"What?" Taryn sat up, wiping her eyes and shaking her head to clear her thoughts. She blushed as she looked at him.Using her habit of discipline to overcome the moment, Taryn rolled out of the sleeping roll and to her feet in a smooth motion.<br/><br/>"I will be ready in just a bit. My pack is ready. I would like something to drink before we go." she said,<br/><br/>Raschen poured some water from his canteen, stuck in a claw and handed it to her, sparkling fresh.<br/><br/>Thanking him, Taryn dressed hastily, tucking in her shirt and checking her belt. She drank the cup dry, laced up her boots and shrugged on the back pack.<br/><br/>He was kicking dust over the fire and then they were ready.
