“It’s so dry. I’m so thirsty,” she said.
“I know, baby. Nothing for that.”
“How long can we go without food and water?”
“On TV, they say you can live for three weeks without food, but only three days without water.”
“Yeah, I think I’ve heard that too,” she said.
“I saw this guy on TV who was lost in the wild, and he drank his own pee. He loved it.”
“Ew! Gross! I am not drinking pee!”
“Yup, he couldn’t get enough of it. He drank it, but he also put it up his butt.”
“What?”
“Yeah, he put it up his butt with a long tube, to filter out bacteria.”
“Jeez, that’s so gross. I am not putting anything up my butt or drinking pee,” she said.
“Relax. You won’t have to. Rescue will be here tomorrow, I’m sure.”
“I really do have to pee though,” she said.
“Me too, but I’m holding it. I was thinking, if I don’t pee, maybe my body will absorb more of it.”
“Is that how it works?”
“I don’t know,” I admitted.
“Daddy, just because you watch survival shows on TV doesn’t mean you can survive in the wild.”
“That’s true, “I conceded.
We stared at the fire for a little longer, my daughter’s head on my shoulder. She gave a shiver.
“You were right,” she said. “It’s already getting cold.”
“I know. We’ll sleep close tonight, share body heat.”
“It’s early but I’m already tired,” she said.
“We had a long day. How about we sleep a little and see how it goes?”
“Okay.”
I brought in a few more pieces of firewood and threw them on the fire. Then we both took off our shoes and settled in on the bear fur. It was big enough to wrap around us. We were shoulder to shoulder, staring up at the shadows of the fire on the ceiling.
“Um, Daddy?” she said.
“Yeah?”
“Should we, like, you know, spoon?”
“Oh. Yes, we can.”
“I mean, unless that makes you uncomfortable,” she said.
“No, not me. Hey, you’re my daughter.”
“I know, it’s just, you know.”
“I know. Come on, let’s not think about it. The closer we sleep, the warmer we’ll be.”
“Okay,” she said, turning on her side.
I turned as well, bringing myself right up against her back. Her small body bent into mine, and I felt her plump little bottom press right up against my crotch. One arm was under her head, and the other I wrapped around her slim waist. God, she was so soft and warm. It had been so long since I’d held a woman like this. I instantly felt my cock come alive. I scooted away just enough so she would not notice.
“Um, goodnight,” Abby whispered.
“Goodnight, babygirl,” I said. I kissed the back of her head.
All was quiet for a little while, but Abby was soon squirming in my arms. I saw her lift one leg and her hand went down. Beneath the fur, I could not see what she was doing, but I heard her sigh loudly, and then she was still again. She scooted again, bumping her butt into my crotch. My cock responded, hardening in my jeans.
“Daddy?” she whispered.
“Yes, baby?” I said.
“I can’t sleep like this.”
“What’s wrong?”
“These jeans are so tight.”
“I know, mine too. Do you want to… uh, you know?”
“Huh?”
“Are you saying you want to take them off?” I asked.
“Oh! Um, no, I was just complaining.”
