A/N
Sorry this chapter took so long, I have a four month old little boy, thanks for waiting :)
Above him, Abby moved her hands slowly up and down her supple waist and breasts, breathing heavily. Connor reached out to touch her delicious body but the image of her slipped further and further away. He tried to sit up but he couldn't for the life of him.
"Abby, please, come back!" He extended his arm as far as it could reach but with no avail.
"Conn…" She whispered.
"Don't leave me, not here, not like this"
"Connor…"
"I'm begging you just stay!"
"Connor, wake up!"
He woke with a start and found himself in a cold sweat; he'd had another nightmare. He turned and snuggled into Abby, who was lying next to him, worried. It's the closest either of them would get to each other in the past few months they had been trapped, that and a peck on the cheek. Both to scared to face the reality of their feelings.
"This has to stop, I'm afraid that your screams will attract predators" Abby gently stroked his hair.
"It's just hard, I miss everything about home, and it's unsettling me. I miss our flat, I miss the team but mostly I miss seeing you happy." He looked up at her and offered her a watery smile. Abby wrapped her arms around him and he buried his face in his neck. The smell of her was sweet and the comfort she offered was irreplaceable.
"I know it's not perfect but I'm happy as long as I'm with you, you know that right?"
Connor nodded and slowly he closed his eyes and drifted back into a rough slumber, Abby joined him.
Morning broke and with the warm, rising sun came cries of creatures from afar. A high-pitched caw in particular came from a beast that stood tall, seemingly in search of eggs from a nest to steal. It's sharp beak shone in the light and it ruffled its feathers with another caw. It stood on two legs and its movements mimicked that of a chicken: quick, sharp, and agile. Its feathered coat was attractive with reds as deep as blood, purples as rich as you could get and greens as vibrant as the leaves on the trees in this god-forsaken place.
"Beautiful, isn't she?" Came a voice from behind Abby, as she sat watching the magnificent bird from a safe distance nearby to their base.
"Yeah," came her reply, "What is she?"
"Gigantoraptor, although not part of the raptor family thank God. She's out of her territory by the looks of it."
"Poor thing…"
"Yeah, did you know these laid the largest dinosaur eggs ever to be found?" handed Connor.
"Fascinating…" drew out Abby. Things like that didn't seem to matter now that they were here. There could be far larger 'egg layers' around that were just never found back home.
Which was impeccable timing as suddenly the giant, winged creature scattered in fear. The sound of a far larger dinosaur pierced the air - a Carnivore for sure.
Connor instinctively wrapped his arm around Abby's waist and slowly dragged her back into the base.
"Don't make a noise, you know what that is don't you?" he whispered.
"How couldn't I? It's a tyrannosaur. Shit I-
"Shush!"
The T-Rex snapped its head toward the two of them and let out an almighty bellow; small pterosaurs speckled into the sky, far out of reach.
"Run!" Abby grabbed Connor's hand and they both stumbled to their feet, sprinting forwards past the Dinosaur. The ground quaked as the Rex perused them. Another roar, another scatter of birds.
"Look, into the tree!" Shouted Abby.
They both edged their way up the nearest tree to them – an effective tactic since being trapped here. Connor went first, struggling as his shoes slipped on the bark. He lent his hand to Abby and pulled her up just in time. Abby and Connor watched as it snapped it's almighty jaws up towards them, but it was in vain. It grunted in defeat and stomped off into the masses of trees.
Breathing heavy sighs of relief, they looked at each other. Something was different. They both felt lucky to be alive and thankful that the other was alive too. Connor reached out and stroked Abby's cheek. She felt the butterflies creep up inside her stomach and she closed her eyes in bliss. Connor blushed at the sight of her. He was doing this to her and no one else. He took a deep breath.
"Abby I…" he gulped, "I love you."
