Chapter Nine

The rescue crew came an hour before dark with plenty of supplies. Lily helped them get the hikers ready to leave. All three had to leave their packs in the equipment shed, but Randy took his to make sure everyone would be secure on the way down.

Zach oversaw loading what little gear they did take on the back of the snowmobiles and Caroline followed him around, trying to make a case for him to return with her to base. Lily gritted her teeth at the wheedling tones and fawning comments Caroline used. To Zach’s credit, he remained politely distant.

“Thank you so much for saving us.” Caroline threw herself into Zach’s arms despite the snow falling harder. “We’ll be at the Cloudburst Resort for a few more days. Maybe I’ll catch up with you when you get down.”

“I appreciate the offer, Ms. Benedict, but I already have a girlfriend.” He set the redhead back on her own feet. “I hope you get down safely.”

“You’re not married, are you?”

Lily damn near choked. Holy shit, this woman doesn’t give up easily.

Zach laughed. “Nope, not yet.”

“Well, then, you just come find me when you get back to the resort and we’ll just see about that girlfriend.” Caroline tossed her head with a saucy smile and climbed on behind one of the rescue crew.

Lily couldn’t stop the snarl ripping from her throat as she watched the woman wave to her mate with a playful smile. She resisted the urge to pelt Ms. Benedict with snowballs as they powered away.

Randy gripped her in a warm hug despite the need to leave. “Be safe and careful, Sinclair. And don’t forget to radio in.”

She dredged up a smile for him. “I’ll remember. Take care of your wife and give her my best.”

“Will do.” He squeezed her one last time, then climbed on to the last snowmobile and waved has they sped off into the swirling white.

Lily raised her hand in acknowledgement and fought to contain her anger. At least he told the phishing bitch he had a girlfriend. She swung around and stomped back into the equipment shack before she launched herself at Zach and beat him to a pulp. Yeah, they hadn’t seen much of each other for over a year, but he was the one who asked her not to give up.

Deep breath, Sinclair. He did turn her down.

But what made him laugh when Caroline asked if he’d married yet? Lily groaned as she ripped the stove door open and thrust a new piece of wood into the hot maw. She hissed as she barked her knuckles on the edge of the door and yanked her hand back, her fury surging with the pain.

“Dammit!”

“Lily, what have you done to your hand?”

Zach caught her before she tripped over their sleeping bags, letting her rest against his chest. She almost burst into tears with the comfort she felt from him. Traitor!

Zach scanned her face with concern when she only shook her head and fought her tightening throat.

“What’s wrong, princess?”

“Everything.
