CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

MIKI YAWNED. Her watch was ruined from seawater and she couldn’t be certain of the time. Five o’clock. Maybe six?

She looked over at Dutch. For about ten minutes he had struggled for breath, tossing restlessly, but now he was snoring quietly again.

Miki stretched out on the floor, pillowed Max’s sweatshirt under her head and tried to sleep, too, but she kept seeing the stone-cold eyes of the man who had tried to kill her.

Muttering, she rolled over and pulled the worn sweatshirt over her head. Worrying was pointless. If she hoped to have any energy left, she needed to sleep. She definitely wasn’t going to think about having sex with Max. She wasn’t used to that kind of raw physical intimacy and her wild response frightened her. She knew that stress broke down barriers, but stress alone didn’t explain her reaction. The thought of his hands and expert mouth still made her heart lurch.

No, she wouldn’t go there. It was just sex. By the time he came back, the whole encounter would be forgotten. With that thought firmly in mind, she tried to relax, wriggling on the cold ground. But the instant her eyes closed, she found herself thinking of Max again.

Wondering where he was. Wondering what he was doing. Hoping he was safe.

Even Max had been shocked by their instant sensory bond. His blunt questions had left no doubt that the intensity was unusual for him and he wasn’t used to women going off like roman candles in his arms. Miki couldn’t figure out if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

New heat brushed her face as memories crowded into her mind. There was no avoiding the truth. Some dark, physical bond had been forged between them. First both of them had been hit with unusual nosebleeds, and Miki wondered if that was one more symptom of whatever was affecting both of them so strangely.

Not that she was complaining about the whole physical thing that was happening. Only a fool would have a problem with a gorgeous man who appeared to be fascinated by every detail of her body. For a crazy moment, she had almost thought he had been reading her mind.

Irritated, Miki rolled over, forgetting she was on the floor. She knocked her forehead against the wall of the bunker and winced.

Some adventure.

Closing her eyes, she focused on relaxing, breath by breath. What she needed now was a distraction. Something to calm her down.

She could think of one kind of distraction, but she’d already done that with Max and it had made matters worse.

Miki opened her eyes and sat up. Photography was her passion and lifeblood, but when she was keyed up and needed to recharge her creativity there was only one answer.

Her eyes narrowed. She picked up Max’s tool kit and the pile of dried branches near the door and went to work.
