She couldn’t seem to help watching him out the window as he hiked around the cabin. He studied the area, storing information—looking for the best escape route, she was sure—looking for a weakness in their defense.

When she’d awakened, he was already up and dressed, stocking wood, saying that his shoulder was better, but she wasn’t so sure he wasn’t just enduring the pain.

By mid-afternoon, he’d gone outside and started to walk around the perimeter, doing what she could only call reconnaissance. She suspected that was ingrained in him from his military training.

She’d slept with him. Had sex with him, and she couldn’t regret a moment of it. Still, the guilt was there, buried beneath the surface. She should be open and clear with him. This was a time out of time. She wasn’t looking for a long-term relationship. She had her work. That was enough. Would have to be enough.

Now it was getting dark. As he disappeared from view, she craned her neck to keep watching him while she started dinner. He was dressed in jeans that hugged his lower body, a white turtleneck and a red sweater with a zipper at the throat. On his feet were sturdy work boots that traversed through the mud and snow.

“Lock the door and don’t let anyone in while I’m gone. I’ll be quick.” He left, and she went back to the preparation.

Fifteen minutes later, it was getting dark. She heard the car before seeing the headlights. Holding her breath, ready to move like he’d instructed, she kept her eyes on the driveway. When she saw the car and him behind the wheel, she slowly let her breath go.

She forced herself to glance up from the pot of chili she was stirring with nothing more than a quick smile. “Hey, get everything?”

His eyes never left hers as he shrugged out of the leather coat, which had been hanging on the hook by the door earlier. She wondered if it belonged to his buddy. It looked good on him.

Her whole body thrummed in reaction to him coming toward her. Not that it was any surprise. He’d done some pretty wonderful things to her body earlier. Of course, it was going to react a little. Okay, a lot. But she should be worried about more important things than where she would sleep tonight. Was it bad that it was all she could think about while she made dinner?
