CHAPTER 15

Ian returned to the cabin after completing his walk of the area. The humans were gone, or at least they weren’t within a ten mile radius, but he still didn’t like the idea they’d been anywhere nearby in the first place. He found Paige in the shed, pounding on the punching bag he’d discovered inside and hung from the center beam. Her punches made a solid thwacking sound as she connected with it over and over again. She spun and gave a solid roundhouse kick to the side of the bag. She danced back before going at it with a series of blows that would have knocked any human on their ass.

Small grunts escaped her as she continued to pound on it before spinning again and kicking it so vigorously it jerked on its chains and swung away from her. Stepping back, she wiped her forearm across her brow. Straggling hairs had broken free of the loose knot on her head; they clung to her round cheeks and chin. He couldn’t help but admire the leanness of her lithe frame as she moved with the fluid grace of an athlete.

His arousal from earlier began to return while he watched her. He gritted his teeth against his erection and focused on the more important issues at hand. “Pretending it’s me?” he inquired.

She didn’t jump at the sound of his voice. Somehow, she’d instinctively known he’d been standing there, watching her. “No.”

There was only one man that punching bag would ever be to her. Ian may infuriate, unsettle, and arouse her in ways she’d never known possible, but she’d never want any harm to befall him. Turning toward him, she tugged at the rags wrapped around her knuckles and dropped them on the floor. She’d been hoping beating on the bag would help to ease some of her frustration and clear her mind. Any sense of working out her anxiety vanished the minute her eyes landed on him again. There weren’t enough punching bags in the world to work him out of her system.

“Did you see them anywhere?” she asked.

He shook his head and folded his arms over his chest. The sun setting over his shoulder caused red and orange colors to dance across his golden hair and emphasized his bronzed skin. “No.”

“Do you think we’re safe here?”

Ian’s gaze drifted back to the fading sunlight as he pondered her question. There had been no signs of any threat to them. He couldn’t shake the feeling something wasn’t right, and he’d learned to trust his instincts over the years. “No, I don’t.” Her eyebrows rose; she glanced around the clearing again. “We’re going to leave.”

“Where will we go?”

“To the motel in town. A public place would be better right now.” She remained unmoving, her eyes on the woods. “Go on and pack. I’ll get the pickup started.”

She nodded her agreement and slipped past him. Ian watched her climb the stairs to the cabin before turning away. He walked around the back of the shed to the pickup parked behind it and checked the oil before slamming the hood shut.
