Excerpt
Claire moved off to the right. Luke forced himself to not
look in her direction, giving her needed privacy. Arranging his clothes to dry he
left a drying rod for Claire’s things.
You’re a professional.
Your attraction to this woman is superficial and based on the extreme
circumstances of the moment. Nothing more. Focus.
Luke turned to the bed of leaves realizing his little pep
talk wasn’t working. Running a frustrated hand over the back of his neck, Claire
stepped into his eyeline, and he stopped. Her hair once pulled up and away from
her face, was now a cascade of caramel dancing in the firelight. She moved
carefully. Her bare feet unsteady on the rocky floor. The edge of his gray
t-shirt showed off her long, toned legs but covered enough to tweak his
imagination. Her blue eyes shone brightly despite the surrounding darkness. Luke
struggled to focus on anything but the ravishing beauty walking toward him.
“Where do you want me to put these?” She asked, her eyes
full of uncertainty.
“I’ll…” he started and then stopped recalling her need not
to be coddled. “You can hang them here.” Luke referenced the piece of wood
hanging over the fire. She stepped forward. Luke put another log on the fire and
moved to the pile of leaves.
“How is this gonna work?” She asked, her gentle voice a
small whisper from behind.
“The idea is to create heat through mutual body warmth, then
trap the heat under the leaves to raise body temperature. Not the most ideal
situation but it’s all we have until the clothes dry out,” Luke said, Claire
was already shivering violently. He wasted no more time. “You’re going to lay
down first, on your side facing the wall. I’ll lay down next to you, cover you
with my body as much as possible. Once settled in we can cover ourselves with
the leaves.”
Claire went from feeling awkward to not caring one single
bit about her nakedness. She was freaking cold! Claire moved forward, the sharp
rocks beneath her feet making her wince in pain. The glossy leaves were a
comfort for her feet. She lowered first to her knees and then bent forward on
her hands. She was shifting to get comfortable as possible, finding herself
struggling without something beneath her head.
The sound of rustling and the delicious warmth of his body alerted
Claire to Luke’s presence. His large arm slid beneath her neck to cradle her
head, and she thanked God for miracles. Her body shivered in response. Luke
started twisting, she could feel him draping the leaves over their bodies. Once
finished his free arm wrapped securely around her waist pulling her solidly
against his heated chest. If she would stop shivering, she could almost feel
sleep pulling her away.
“No sleeping, princess.”
“No promises.”
“Not an option.”
