then
connected it to his own.  This quite effectively prevented her from
implementing any haphazard plan to murder him and run away instead of falling
off a cliff with him.
     
    “I’m
going to die,” she said, stiffening all over as he propelled her unwilling body
toward the edge.  He looped a rope around her, tying her harness off to his,
joining their fates together as he grabbed the rope with one hand and her waist
with the other.
     
    “Not
today,” he promised, and with a strong shove he took them both over the edge. 
     
    The
sensation of freefalling hit her first.  Air surged around her in every
direction.  Her heart leaped into her throat.  Ebony closed her eyes and
screamed until her throat ached from screaming, and then she screamed some
more.
     
    “Gods,
woman!  You are splitting my eardrums!” Fallon yelled, above her shrieking.  “You’re
not going to die any more than I am!  If it will make you cease this noise, I
will slow down.”
     
    It took a
few moments to realize that Fallon had taken them into a controlled rappel.  When
he slowed, using his massive legs and arms to lower them down, she realized she
was cuddled against him, chest to chest, her legs wrapped around his hips.  She
clung to him gratefully, burrowing her face into his chest to avoid looking at
the fast-approaching sand down below.  In some ways, the ground couldn’t greet
them fast enough--but she was still terrified that somehow he would slip and
they would both go crashing down to the beach.
     
    Ebony
knew she was no lightweight.  She liked to think of herself as pleasingly
plump, but--though she was much shorter than Fallon--she was dead weight to him
in this case, unable to help him leverage them down the side of the cliff.
     
    Beneath
her hands, she could feel his pectorals flex as he maneuvered downward.  Between
her thighs and calves, his buttocks and legs took the brunt of their weight.
     
    As panic
lessened its hold on her brain, allowing her mind to regain some control, she
realized just how strong and powerful he really was.  If she’d had any thoughts
about physically gaining the upper hand, that idea was quashed as utterly
preposterous.
     
    Trembling
from the fear that still surged through her veins, Ebony snuggled against him. 
“All right, then,” she whispered.  “I’ll put my faith on the chance that you’re
at least unwilling to kill yourself .  If you make it down, I make it
down, too.”
     
    He made
no answer, and so she simply continued to cling tight to him.  She was a little
disturbed to find that she liked the hot scent of his skin, liked feeling the
way his muscles curved along his belly.
     
    Suddenly
there was a hard jar and a sudden stop.  Ebony realized they’d reached firm
ground once more.  Fallon disentangled her from his body and set her down on
the warm sand, but her knees threatened to buckle beneath her weight after the
terrifying journey down the cliff face. 
     
    She
steadied herself on his rock-hard arm.  “I’m so thankful to be alive that I
could kiss you--if you hadn’t been the one putting me through this nightmare in
the first place!”
     
    Fallon
ignored her.  “We’ve wasted enough time,” he said, pulling off his own harness
and then Ebony’s.  He looked up at the women.  “All of you!  Get in the water!  Wash
off the smell of the sewer, or they’ll be able to follow us with one whiff of
the air.”
     
    Ebony
stumbled towards the sea.  She glanced back at Fallon and cocked her head up
towards the high tunnel where a thin but steady stream of brown sewage ran in a
long fall down to the sea.  “I don’t think bathing in seawater will get any of
us any cleaner, since that’s where all the shit ends up anyway.”
     
    This time
he looked directly at her and stared, and then glanced down the beach towards
the north.  Ebony followed his gaze and saw the other men leading the seven
women away from the runoff area to a ribbon of beach
