Lori monitored the storm, speculating that it had stalled somewhere near Russell Trading Post. It seemed to build on itself, gathering more strength.

That wasn’t a good sign. Once the storm began to move again it would cause downpours and fierce winds.

She stared eagerly at the meat roasting over the fire. She had cut it into six portions, hoping it would cook faster on the makeshift skewers. With luck—and hers had been nothing to boast about lately, so she didn’t hold much hope—the food would be ready when Gideon returned from bathing.

She rose from a crouch to check on him. She gasped in shock when she saw him wade ashore, naked as the day he was born. He was facing the opposite direction but she still saw more of him than she needed to see. Her face blossomed with color but she couldn’t make herself look away from his sleek, bronzed, muscular body. She was fairly certain the image had burned into her eyeballs. Sweet mercy! What would it be like to see him walking naked toward her?

Flustered by the tempting thought, she focused her attention on the roasting meat. “No more speculations for you,” she scolded herself. “You’ve seen too much already.”

When she glanced southwest again, she noticed a curtain of rain sweeping across the rolling hills. Damnation, they were running out of time.

“Hurry up, Gideon!” she called loudly. “I’m starving and the storm is rapidly approaching.”

He reappeared from the shelter of the trees to gather her scattered garments then jogged toward her. She was sitting cross-legged in her baggy clothes when he reached camp. She glanced up at him, but she kept visualizing him naked, walking away from the water. She squeezed her eyes shut, hoping to douse the inflammatory image that had a profound effect on her body.

It didn’t help.

“Are you all right?” he asked, staring at her intently.

“Sure. I’m fine. Couldn’t be better,” she said with false enthusiasm. “Let’s eat, Marshal. We’re running short of time.”
