CHAPTER TWELVE

I don't know how long I was out, but when I opened my eyes, the first thing I realised was that I'd been moved. Instead of the dirty floorboards, I was now laying on wooden pallets that were stacked on a concrete floor.

It was dim inside, and cool, with dark walls and large broken windows set high up, mesh covering them. It was also big. This place was cavernous. I squinted into the shadows, guessing it to be an old warehouse or storage facility.

Tossing the sleeping bag aside, I sat up, swinging my legs to the floor, shivering. My backpack lay on the floor by the pallets. I rummaged through it, found my jacket and boots, and pulled them on, grateful for the warmth. I also grabbed my water bottle, swallowing the last mouthful. I had two priorities now: Relieve my bursting bladder and find more water.

There was no sign of Alrik, though he couldn't be far away. He wouldn't have left me here alone, unprotected, unless he thought I would be safe. I eased to my feet, wobbly after days of fever and pain.

The tin roof echoed the sounds of rainfall, a loud drumming that reverberated around the empty warehouse. On the far side of the warehouse, a band of thin, watery daylight spilled through an open doorway. With my bottle in hand, I made my way over. If I was lucky, maybe I’ll be able to catch a bit of that rain.

I leaned against the door jamb to catch my breath, but when I glanced outside, what I saw took it away again. The door led to an open-air atrium. Enclosed on all sides by the warehouse, it had been used as a break-out area for the employees who'd once worked here. Old tables and chairs were scattered around. The paving was buckled and twisted, the once-beautiful garden now gone to rack and ruin.

The rain fell in a torrent. But it wasn't the rain, nor the secret garden, that had taken my breath away. It was Alrik, standing naked in the downpour, his face turned up to the sky, water splashing over the hard planes of his cheekbones, running in tantalising rivulets down his back, over his buttocks, his legs.

“Oh.” I couldn't help the squeak that escaped me.

He turned, his gaze meeting mine. I couldn't help it; my eyes devoured him. I'd seen him naked from the waist up before, but below the belt? Unconsciously, I licked my lips. He was very well endowed, and before my eyes, he hardened and grew. I was mesmerised. Until I realised what I was doing. Dragging my eyes back to his, I could feel my cheeks burn.

“You should shower too,” was all he said. “And fill your bottle, while it rains.”

Oh. Right. Good idea. I stood watching him from the doorway, undecided. Getting naked with Alrik could be a really, really bad idea. But also a very hot one. I wasn't a prude, but I had limits, and getting out there, naked and wet, with him? I wouldn't be able to help myself.
