Chapter 5

Jordyn closed the bedroom door behind her and took off the wet dress. She picked up the sweatshirt he’d handed her, held it to her face, and inhaled to see if it carried the same intoxicating scent that Luke had been wearing. To her delight, remnants of his cologne lingered there, instantly warming the chill that had taken up residence inside her. She’d never known a man to smell so good.

She pulled on the sweatpants and tied them tight at the waist to keep them from sliding down and reappeared from the bedroom. Her eyes fell straight to Luke and the two glasses of red wine sitting on the coffee table between the couch and the fire.

Luke looked up and froze, his hand hovering over the half-sliced summer sausage. His mouth dropped open for a moment before his lips slowly turned up in a smile as he looked her up and down.

“What is it?” she asked, looking down at the oversize sweatshirt and pajama bottoms that hung off her hands and feet.

“Nothing,” he said with a boyish grin. He went back to slicing, but the smile stayed on his face. “It’s just that you look just as beautiful in my oversize clothes as you did in that dress.” He hadn’t looked up at her when he’d said it, and she was thankful for it.

The heat pricking at her cheeks told her they’d reddened, so she decided to ignore his remark. It was not what she had expected to hear, but she had to admit, there were worse men she could be snowed into a cabin with. Her body flushed with warmth as she made her way back to the couch beside him. Was it the fire, or was it his scent lingering on the sweatshirt that caused her to overheat?

“Thankfully, Shane and Avery left this welcome basket of goodies in my cabin, or I’m afraid we wouldn’t have much else to eat or drink tonight,” he said, handing her a glass of wine before picking up his own.

“I got a basket, too. That was nice of them.” She accepted the glass and pulled her feet onto the couch to tuck beneath her legs.

“Have I mentioned how sorry I am about all of this?” he asked, taking a sip of his wine.

“You don’t have to keep apologizing. Really. There’s nothing we can do about it now but try to make the best of it. Besides, they’re all up there in the lodge without power as well, so I don’t think we’re missing much.”

“At least we have this fire. And summer sausage,” he joked, putting a piece of sausage on a cracker and handing it to her before building one for himself.

“Thanks for dinner,” she teased back. Even in the unfortunate situation he’d put her in, she was finding it harder and harder to stay upset with him. “I just have one question for you.”

“Yeah? What’s that?” he stuffed the cracker into his mouth and leaned against the back of the couch, turning his body to get comfortable so he was facing her.
