Beneath the Skin
“It beat the hell out of coach.
It was only my second time in a plane in my whole life.
Murphy let me have the window seat and I watched, fascinated, as we hurtled down the runway, going faster and faster. I felt her inside me, my wolf, she was excited because we were going fast and she adored speed.
My ears tingled and I had to sit back in my seat and squeeze my eyes closed to keep her from waking any more than she already was.
Beside me, Murphy put his hand on my knee and I was grateful for th...e touch. It grounded me somehow.
Champagne and orange juice, my pre-flight beverage of choice, sloshed around in my stomach. I smelled jet fuel and the heavy floral scent of the perfume the woman behind us wore.
I heard Murphy’s heartbeat, steady and slow, and my own, faster, lighter.
Then we were airborne and leveling off, and when I opened my eyes again, there were puffy white clouds everywhere and I couldn’t see through them. We were very high and the sun was bright above us, making the clouds so white and defined I thought I could reach out my hand and come away with pieces of them clutched in my fingers.MoreLess
