Jesse stared at the dying embers, wishing the flames inside his gut would die the same sort of unremarkable death.

Cecilia had stirred a hunger in him of mammoth proportions, and he didn’t quite know what to do about it. He wanted to be an honorable man. Her care and well-being had been entrusted to him. But the thoughts skittering through his head were distinctly dishonorable. Rather, they were wild, and hot and wonderful.

He kicked dirt over the last of the fire, then sank down on the log and stared up at the moon. He knew what he was doing—stalling…biding time…waiting to get his emotions under control before he climbed into that tent with Cecilia.

A wave of heat threatened to consume him as he thought of the way her mouth had felt wrapped warmly—wetly—around his finger. It had been the single, most sensual act Jesse had ever experienced, and it had nearly undone him.

He’d seen the passion in her eyes, felt her need for him, and he wasn’t sure if he was a fool or a hero for reining her in, for detouring the situation out of the danger zone.

Would he be taking advantage of her if he made love to her? Granted, her personal life was in turmoil and she had suffered enormous losses. But he and Cecilia were both adults; they both knew the score.

It wasn’t as if he’d be seducing her. Hell, if anything, he thought she might have been trying to seduce him.

He stood, tired of his thoughts, tired of the torment. She’d probably fallen asleep by now, any crazy moment of desire gone and forgotten. He lifted a kerosene lantern, checked the fire one last time, then headed for the tent, intent on going right to sleep.

The first thing he noticed when he entered the tent was her jeans neatly folded next to where she lay. Instantly his mind produced a picture of her long naked legs.

He tripped over his sleeping bag and muttered a low curse. This whole camping trip had been the worst idea he’d ever had. At least he was grateful she was turned away from him, her hair a dark spill against the red sleeping bag.

He sat down on his own bag and took off his boots, then shucked his jeans and T-shirt. He never slept in more than his briefs and he wasn’t about to change his habits now.

He got into the sleeping bag and turned off the lantern, instantly plunging the interior of the tent into complete darkness.

It was difficult to tell if she was really sleeping or not. With her head turned away from him, he couldn’t hear the rhythm of her breathing to know for sure.

Willing his body to relax, he drew in several deep breaths, wondering how it was possible for Cecilia’s scent to overtake the entire space. The feminine, floral scent invaded his head and caused the coil of heat to return to his stomach.

He didn’t know how long he lay there, thought he might have fallen asleep for a few minutes, when Cecilia started to moan.
