***

Candy stretched, yawned, and snuggled back into a ball. A faint humming filled the cabin, and she heard water running.

“Damn!” The masculine voice was loud and clear, and her eyes snapped open.

Oh, my God!

She searched the room and her gaze rested on clothes neatly folded over a chair.

Men’s clothes.

Under the chair, a pair of shoes sat in an orderly fashion.

A neat freak.

She soon discovered that was the least of her problems. She lifted the bed covers. Just as she thought. She was naked in a strange man’s bed. Her stomach clenched.

I slept with a stranger!

With the sobriety she lacked the evening before, she shook her head in disbelief. She had never been so reckless in her entire twenty-nine years.

The bathroom door flew open and a man stood before her in all his natural majesty. Candy flushed and pulled the covers over her head. His deep laugh resonated throughout the room.

“You’re not shy?” he asked, the amusement evident in his husky American voice.

Shy? Shameless was a more appropriate word.

“Come on,” he said playfully, and Candy heard him move closer to the bed. The bed shifted as he sat near her. “You’ve nothing to feel embarrassed about.”

Embarrassed? Try mortified!

With forceful hands he grabbed the covers and tried to pull them from her. She refused to give up without a fight.

“I won’t bite. Well, only if you don’t want me to,” he said with a chuckle.

“I don’t even know your name,” she croaked.

“What? I can’t hear you. Will you look at me?” He finally yanked the covers from her.

She looked into his fiery brown eyes, her chest heaving.

“Now, what did you say?” he asked as his gaze moved over her.

She swallowed, took a deep breath, and covered her breasts with her arms. “I don’t know your name.”

“Cleve,” he said with a smile.

“Oh.”

“And you are?”

She cleared her throat. “Candy.”

Laughter rocked his hulking frame. She frowned and balled her hands into fists. “Sorry,” he snorted. “That’s classic.”

Candy glared daggers at him and pulled the covers back over her. “Do you mind? I’d like some privacy to get dressed.”

“Where are you going?”

“To my cabin.”

“No.”

“What do you mean, no?” she said between clenched teeth.

“Um, that didn’t come out right...”

“Then what did you mean to say?”

He reached out and caressed her cheek with a warm hand, and the bravado she felt vanished. “I don’t want you to go.” He moved his face closer to hers and his scorching breath heated her skin. “You have the most amazing green eyes,” he whispered as his thumb stroked her cheek bone. He was so close. She stared, transfixed.

“You’re bleeding,” she stated, resisting the lure of his gaze.

His hand moved to his jaw. “I cut myself, shaving.” He headed for the bathroom.

Candy closed her eyes to the returning memory of what they had done last night. As much as she tried to erase it, she couldn't forget how glorious it was. Oh, she had to give him credit. He was extremely talented. She couldn't stop the smile that formed on her lips.

He appeared in the doorway and watched her.
