Jack stabbed the last bit of his steak. ‘I’m never in one place for that long.’

He didn’t taste the meat as he forked it in. He just wanted to eat and get out of there. Doing the domestic thing wasn’t helping him any. Being this near to her strung his nerves tighter across the wires of want—and he was so close to giving in to it. But he’d known she wouldn’t be up to cooking anything—she looked even paler than usual. Tired. Beautiful.

Pregnant.

His guts twisted as he made himself keep that little fact up-front and centre. But it had been so hard not to wake her with a kiss, even harder not to kiss her when she’d blinked, all soft and sleepy—and he’d thought he’d seen heat behind those pink lenses. So he was mad with her, with himself, with this mess.

He’d thought sorting out the house might help. But so far it wasn’t because the proximity to her made those weeks of fevered dreams in Canada seem like a saunter on warm sand in summer. To be with her now and not with her was nothing but torture. ‘I stay in hotels wherever I am.’ Hell, he should be in one now. In an ice-cold shower.

‘What about the lodge?’

‘Karearea?’

She nodded.

So she had done some research on him. What did she think she knew?

‘That’s a hotel, too.’ He shrugged. ‘I don’t tend to stay there much and when I do I’m just in a guest room.’

‘But it’s your home, right?’

He shifted on his chair. He didn’t think of it like that. Home wasn’t a concept he really got. The most comfortable he felt was when he was on the move—on a snowboard, a skateboard, whatever. ‘I have a manager to run it. A manager to run the ski field. I’m there a lot in the season. But it’s...you know it’s just a business.’

He’d been moving from the moment he’d been born, travelling with his dad while he organized all those expeditions for everyone else. The thought of stopping any one place for too long gave him hives. He needed freedom. But he also needed fulfilment. That was some of the drive in his sport—physical achievement filled the sense of emptiness that sometimes swept over him. It gave him focus. But it was another kind of physical satisfaction he wanted now.

‘The lodge was my father’s plan,’ he explained, trying to keep his thoughts in check and not shove the plates to the floor and tumble her onto the table. ‘He died before it was finished. So I finished it and got someone to run it. It was an old club field and the club couldn’t afford the upkeep any more. It was too remote and they didn’t have the resources to put in something that could make it pay. But the mountain is beautiful. I replaced the old lift, now you get to the top and there’s no easy way down.’ He managed to grin as he thought of the challenge of those slopes.
