Night Wolf's Kiss

"I'm not certain if this is a good idea," Niko said. "Perhaps I should go." He picked up his satchel and saw a hurt look flash within Jack's eyes but the Indian turned away and his gaze returned to the fire. Niko was filled with uncertainty. What if Jeremiah's words were true? What could happen here? Niko dropped the satchel and went over to where Jack sat. He crouched down and with his fingertips, he turned Jack's face toward him. He saw no wildness in the depths of his eyes only hurt and a longing to be near someone. Niko kissed him again and placed his hands firmly on Jack's strong shoulders. The kiss deepened and they went to the floor in front of the fire."You do not wish to go from here," Jack murmured."No," Niko whispered. "I do not."
