~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Resting In Tent, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:14 PM)~~~

Sally and I have been sleeping in our tent since we got here, and even in the shade of some trees while naked, it's still very hot. I've grown so used to the cold back on our Original Continent. The sudden change has me uncomfortable.

I'm not the only one in this state either. Sally has been tossing and turning in and out of sleep just as I have at the humidity and sheer heat.

Taking off our clothes the moment we got here was a better idea than I thought it was at the time. We'd be soaking through our armor and clothes at this point. The whole reason I'm up right now is that the shade we set our tent under is gone now.

Moved along with the sun of the passing day, meaning our tent is just as hot as the outside world. If I had to guess the actual number to the heat outside, it'd be over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. It's misery in the tent, and I'm ready to get out and find some new shade.

"Why is it so fucking hot!!?"

Sally suddenly sits up with vigorous desperation and deep breaths to go along with how uncomfortable the heat is making her.

"I was just about to get out of the tent and move it to some more shade... This is the worse..."

The days are much longer in Alforza, and that means the sun is shining on the environment more than most parts of Gaia that have been discovered.

"What the hell are we waiting for? Let's move this bitch!!"

Sally is quick to make for the exit of the tent, and I follow behind her. Enjoying the shine of her sweaty body from behind. Once outside the tent, we move it to a place with more trees and better shade than this time of the day.

Nightfall won't be coming until 9:00 PM. That gives us enough time to catch up on some sleep. We might just end up sleeping through the night since it'll be so cool.

I was planning to travel at night, but at this point, I want to catch up on sleep since mine has been so shit because of the heat. Even though I'm not supposed to be bothered by it, there it is. Bothering the shit out of me, and I can't do a thing about it.

Once comfortably in the shade, we both enter the tent, and it's noticeably cooler now. I'd say a 15-degree difference, and that's a lot. Sally lays her head on my chest, and I place my hand on her lower back, bringing her closer.

"Do you think they'll have clothes that can keep us cool in the first town we visit... I'm not tolerant to the heat, and I won't be traveling unless we can find a way to stay cool most of the time..."

I have to agree with Sally. We'll have to do something about this, and right now, all I can think about is sleeping. So when I wake up after getting some real rest, I'll brainstorm some ideas.

"Sounds perfect to me..."

The tiredness and exhaustion are clearly heard in my voice, and I have a feeling I'll be like this a lot in Alforza. Sally just releases a chuckle as she gets even closer. Our sweaty and sticky bodies are clinging together.

But weirdly enough, it's not uncomfortable.

"I take it we'll be sleeping through the night then?"

All I give in return for her question is a kiss on the top of her head. And it's more than enough to answer the question. I've made up my mind. We'll be sleeping through the cool night and stay in the shade for most of tomorrow.

Leaving the night of tomorrow. That'll give us more than enough time to rest and adjust to the heat before we move.

"Let's get some real sleep... None of this dying from heat sleeplessness shit..."

She agrees with a kiss on the middle of my chest.

I can't help wondering in my fading thoughts what the rest of my family is up to. I know Hailey is off on her own adventures. Marcus has split from his parents and is doing who knows what. And Mom and Dad are enjoying their time together.

But knowing specifically would be nice. That's something I can figure out another time. For now, it's sleep time.

~~~(Time: 10:28 PM)~~~

The heat has calmed down, and Cera is soundly sleeping now that he can. I'm not far behind him, and I've been struggling as he has. Moving to the shade helped, but there were times that still made me wake from the heat.

It's having a huge effect on me...One that I didn't really see... Never in my life have I sweat so much from doing absolutely nothing... I've never experienced this type of heat back where we were, and I doubt temperatures ever rise that high.

"I'm glad you're here with me... I don't know what I'd do without you..."

Cera doesn't know how much I've relied on him since that shit happened with Zarmade... He's been my rock and always there no matter what I need.

He's dead asleep, so it's not like he's going to respond. That's good too. Just holding him like this is enough to make me feel better and get my mind off things. He's tried to get me to open up about it, and he has... But I'm keeping the pain buried...

"If you knew how much it truly hurt... You'd go crazy knowing there isn't anything you can do to help me..."

That's part of the reason I didn't tell him... He'd be trapped in his own head, thinking of ways to make me feel better... But there is nothing that can be done about this... It's out of both of our hands...

I'm slowly getting over it, but it hasn't been easy.

Sleep is fast approaching since it's not that hot anymore, and being naked and attached to Cera like this is something that I've grown used to... Having him in reach and sharing skinship... It's helped me...

And after a couple of minutes... Dreams take me... Not nightmares, but actual dreams...

~~~(Time: 4:22 AM)~~~

My eyes peel open, and I look around the tent. It's cooler now since it's early morning. I look down on my chest and see a peacefully sleeping Sally. We're going to be spending the day in the tent, and we'll leave tonight when it's cool again.

"Mmm... You're so hard..."

Sally's voice breaks me from my staring as I feel a hand on my member, and I've got what's called morning wood. It's not something I often have, but when I do, it's pretty intense. She lifts her head with one eye open and smiles at me.

"Seducing me so early in the morning, huh... Someone is in need of some lovin'..."

This is turning into a situation I wasn't prepared for, but I'm more than ready for some action. Especially when she's offering like this. An early morning fuck can do wonders for how good the day goes.

Even though we're not going anywhere until tonight.

So that gives us free time to do... Whatever we want to do...

"Well... What if I was seducing you? What would you say to that?"

Her smile grows bigger, and she crawls up my body and looks me in the eyes as she's on top. My member is resting between her ass cheeks, and it's throbbing in anticipation.

"I'd say you're on the right track..."

The lips of my girlfriend come down and lock with mine. I know exactly what we're doing today, and I'm glad we're taking the time to do this.
