Chapter Eight

The sun was setting and the temperature had dropped. They approached a tree that had fallen across the trail. He climbed on the trunk and offered her his hand. Maggie braced a foot and hoisted herself up. Cam jumped down and took Maggie with him.

They walked deeper into the woods, following a well-worn path. Cam often took advantage of this spot, like many other hikers. With any luck, it would be empty of any squatters.

They came upon a clearing where the tall grass had been packed flat. Rocks enclosed a circular patch of scorched ground.

“You shouldn’t make a fire,” he said. “Try to leave nature the way you found it, as undisturbed as possible.”

Maggie slid her backpack off. “Somebody’s obviously made a fire here.”

“Yup. So if we make a fire, we won’t be disturbing nature.” He untied the casing to his gray tent and shrugged it off. “Not as much as we would if a fire hadn’t already burned here.” He finished pitching his tent and reached for her backpack.

“Could I sleep in your tent? I hate sleeping alone.”

When Cam tore the pack from her, Maggie dropped to the ground and crossed her legs.

As he anchored the last stake, he asked, “Want some popcorn for the show?”

Maggie shrugged.

Cam headed toward the woods. He returned shortly carrying a stack of large branches. He made a fire and they sat on the ground and watched the flames dance.

Maggie tried to spark conversation, but he never a spoke a word, just poked at the fire until darkness surrounded them.

“Goodnight.” She stood and looked down at him, probably waiting for him to protest her departure. Not going to happen.

“Whatever,” she muttered and disappeared into her tent.

When the second whiz of a zipper sounded, the tension in Cam’s muscles faded. He just had to get through this weekend then he could concentrate on opening his restaurant. He’d never have to see or speak to her again.

One problem. He wanted her, wanted her bad.

Maggie was bold, adventurous, and silly, not to mention, stunning. She was cute and at the same time sexy. Her fair skin clashed brilliantly with her cherry red hair and green eyes. And her perfume! He had to find out the brand. Like an addict, he could use it to diminish the cravings, spraying his curtains, sofa, and bedding. Cam squeezed his head between his hands. You’re a monster! Let her go.

An animal shrieked. Cam’s lids flipped open. He lifted his head from the tent floor and propped his weight on his forearms. An owl? Another shriek. Nope. Not an owl. He jerked to a sitting position. Maggie!

The three-quarter moon illuminated Maggie’s shaking tent. He whipped her flap open to find her jumping up and down and slapping at her arms. Grimacing, he snatched her wrist and yanked her from the tent.

“Calm down,” he growled.

“They’re biting me! They’re everywhere!”

Cam willed his temper to cool as he tried to still her movements. “I can’t get them off, if you don’t stop jumping.
