Chapter Nine

Gwynn lifted the edge of the snow-encrusted blanket. She and her enormous new friend peered out at a heavy, leaden sky.

“Snow’s stopped. I need to get going, pal.” Thanks to the dog, her blanket cave had become a warm sanctuary she didn’t want to leave, but it was time. The dog stood up and stretched.

“You’re pretty smart, aren’t you, dog?” His jaw dropped open in a canine grin, and she swore he winked before he trotted away into the forest leaving her alone.

The wind blew an icy blast where his warm body had lain next to hers all night, and she shivered.

“Wait! Come, back! Come here, boy. Come!” She whistled into the cold but the dog didn’t come back.

Everything was too quiet, just the shush of the wind blowing through the branches of the pines and empty winter-bare bushes. No one was here. No one would come. Not even her temporary canine companion.

She was alone.

“Come back,” she whispered into the silence.

She wrapped her over-large coat around her. Not even the dog would stand by her. Her zeal to keep going dwindled down to almost nothing. A dark cloud of depression settled around her heart. Then the bushes began to shake. But it wasn’t the dog that emerged.

Aaron stepped out, completely nude, his bare feet shuffling a path through the snow.

“You’re not alone.” His liquid silver eyes gleamed and her heart seized.

He’d found her.

Her whole body shook, adrenaline pumping through her veins. Was this anger? Fear? Excitement? How was she supposed to feel facing the man who was her rescuer, her jailer, and the man who’d brought her to orgasm again and again.

She’d trusted him.

Suddenly, she knew exactly how she felt. Angry. Very angry.

“What the hell are you doing here, Aaron? And where are your clothes?”

“I didn’t think to bring clothes.” He stepped closer and reached for her pack. “You didn’t happen to leave my extra clothes in there, did you?”

She snatched the pack back. “Extra clothes?” She glanced around, hoping to spot the dog. She could use the backup right now.

“No problem. I’ll run back as a wolf.”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Maybe she was dreaming. Maybe she’d frozen in the snow. She’d heard when you froze to death, you fell asleep. Maybe you had bizarre conversations with people after you died too. But shouldn’t it be with dead people?

“Look, we need to talk, and even I get cold standing naked in the snow.” He took another step closer and she shrank back. “Can I crawl under there and stay warm, just while we talk?”

The image of Aaron’s naked body crawling into her makeshift tent and pressing close to her brought an instantaneous rush of moisture between her thighs. She fought the rush of arousal, instead focusing on the steady beat of anger in her blood.

“Screw you!” He’d betrayed her. She shouldn’t let him in. She should let him freeze.

“Gwynn, I’m sorry.” He bowed his head. “If you’ll just let me explain.”

He did look sorry. And pathetic, standing out in the cold.
