Chapter 39

Sartin grabbed another fish from the pool. Maru jumped when Sartin thumped its head against the ground.Sartin thanked the Princess for providing the creature as he drove the knife under its mouth. He cut down the belly, the blade stopping every inch or so. Sartin pulled the blade out slightly, plunged it back in, and continued until the penetration was complete and the creature splayed open.

Sartin saved the precious insides on the leaf with remnants of the first fish.

“Here, like this.” Maru showed him how to cut the flesh off the bones into fillets.

Sartin still struggled with the knife. Maru stood and moved behind Sartin. Maru wrapped his arms aroundSartin and took Sartin’s hands in his own. He cut the meat into fillets, using Sartin’s hands, showing him how to do it at the same time.

Maru’s touch ignited the lust that the injury had suppressed for so many weeks. Sartin was glad Maru was behind him. Otherwise, Maru would have felt Sartin’s erection press against his back.
