Lowering herself into the steaming water of the natural spring, Chelsea kept her back turned to Brad. Although he’d seemed gentlemanly enough, sitting at the fire with his back to her, she wasn’t certain she was ready to give him full frontal if he turned around.

Not that the last few days hadn’t made her long for something to happen. She lay next to him each night, wondering if he would make a move. Part of her wanted him to, wanted him to ravage her and have his way with her, showing her what sex was all about, just like he’d hinted he could do.

The other part was scared out of her mind.

There was a natural ledge near the side of the pool. Chelsea sat on it, and the water came up to her neck, effectively submerging all her tight muscles. As the hot water engulfed her, it immediately began to relax her. The temperature wasn’t quite as hot as one of the tubs in the resort’s spa, but as something natural out in the middle of nowhere it was a godsend.

If Brad ever did make a move, she’d like it to be when she smelled clean and fresh, not ripe from days of travel with only cursory sponge baths taken in the morning before another long day of hiking.

The water felt good, and it wasn’t fair to keep it to herself.

She turned her head. When she saw Brad’s back and realized he hadn’t tried to peek at her naked body, she had to admit to being somewhat disappointed. “Hey, Brad?”

“Yeah?” he called, still not turning.

“How sore are your muscles?”

He stretched backward, raising his hands high, and then let out a hiss of pain. “I’ll be okay.”

“You don’t sound okay. Get in the water.”

His hands dropped down quickly, as though she had attached weights to them with her invitation. “What do you mean? I’ll take a turn when you’re done. I’m cooking for you.”

“Dinner can wait awhile. The water needs to boil before we can do anything with it anyway,” she said. “Get in here now.”

Maybe it was because she felt guilty for lying about the satellite phone, or maybe she just wanted to see if he had any interest in her body at all. The clear water would do nothing to hide her naked curves from him, and he wouldn’t be able to mask any desire he might have for her.

Beyond that, Brad had carried all of their heaviest items, leaving her responsible for light food and clothing. As fatigued as her back and legs felt from carrying her pack, his had to be infinitely worse.

“Come on. Or are you too scared to get naked with me?”

He turned, shock clear on his face.

She winked, then smiled wide when red colored his high cheekbones. She didn’t know he was so easy to embarrass.

“Please get in,” she coxed. “The water feels good, but I can’t relax knowing you’re still in pain.”

The red gradually left his face, and Brad nodded. “Whatever you need, I’ll gladly do for you.
