Lucy got very little sleep. She replayed the kiss dozens of times, and every time, it got better. While she knew Spencer wasn’t her type, she wasn’t opposed to a fling. After all, it had been a long time and without some sort of major break, like discovering Bigfoot, she wasn’t headed back to academia and Jacob anytime soon.

Something in his plea for her help made her believe he was telling the truth about the tracks. Maybe they were authentic. She wouldn’t have kissed him if she’d still believe he was a liar.

I’m so confused.

In a couple of days, she’d back in Cheldron and she’d probably never see Spencer again. It wasn’t like they ran in the same circles.

What was the harm in a little fun?

The next morning, Lucy packed everything she’d need for an overnight into her backpack and walked down to the lobby. She was on her second cup of coffee by the time Spencer showed up. “Got everything?”

He nodded. “I went to my house last night and got everything we might need.”

“Let’s put it in the truck and go.” The sooner she could finish this nonsense, the better. They transferred everything from the trunk of his Infiniti to the bed of the Dodge. After looking over the stuff he’d brought, Lucy was impressed. Despite his Brooks Brothers tendencies, he was obviously a competent outdoorsman. In addition to a tent, he’d packed tarps, flashlights and plenty of protein bars. There was more stuff than they’d even need for less than twenty-four hours, but it made her feel better that she wasn’t going to be the only one who’d ever slept in a tent. Only the food looked new and that, too, was a relief. She was a big believer in well-tested equipment.

“You’re signing off on the gear?” Spencer asked.

“Looks good to me. Want to drive?” She didn’t normally let anyone drive her truck but she’d seen the way he admired it and she thought it might smooth things over a bit, show him that she did trust him.

He flashed a Christmas morning smile. “I’d love to.”

She tossed him the keys and got into the passenger seat. The truck was hers, and she never let anyone drive it. Sitting on the right side of the bench seat seemed strange.

So she scooted over until her left leg touched his right. After spending most of last night thinking about the kiss, Lucy was ready to see what else could happen with the two of them alone in a tent in the middle of a sweltering swamp.

Her view of romantic was clearly different from that of most women.

After parking in the same place they had yesterday, they divided the gear into their packs, and Spencer grabbed the machete. “Let’s go.”

His gait was confident and self-assured and sexy as hell.

They went past the bald cypress tree with the initials carved on it. “About half a mile from here, there’s some higher ground where we can pitch the tent.”

Lucy wiped the sweat from her forehead and adjusted her backpack.
