Chapter Eleven

Austin pushed back the coffee table so they could sit in front of the fire as they ate. He’d turned off the kitchen lights and was watching the glow of the fire dance on Sam’s naked skin. She was flushed and luscious and he wanted to yank off the blankets he’d brought and take her all over again.

“Is this what you always do after a day on the mountain?” Sam ripped a piece of crusty bread from the loaf and dipped it in the soup.

He laughed. “If only I could get Connor to come cook for me every day.”

“He certainly helped you out this time.”

Austin grinned. “I lure you here with promises of Connor’s cooking—”

“Don’t forget about the mind-blowing sex.” She waved her spoon at him.

He sat up straighter. “Mind-blowing? Really?”

She rolled her eyes.

“As I was saying,” he teased, “I lure you here and get you all comfortable, so by the time you realize it’s mostly leftovers or whatever’s happening at Mack’s, it’s too late.”

“Too late for what?” Sam asked, and Austin flushed. He’d better watch himself before his mouth ran away with him. It was easy to say these things. It was much, much harder to follow through.

“Just too late.” He took a sip of beer. “That’s all.”

He thought he saw her give a half smile, but her hair fell over her shoulder and shielded her face. He reached over and brushed the strands back. He was right, she was smiling. It made something well up inside him. “I have to tell you something,” he said.

Sam looked at him in immediate concern. “It’s not a big deal,” he said quickly, wondering what she thought he was about to spill. “I just wanted you to know I’ve never taken anyone there before.”

“Where?”

“The shelter. On the mountain. I don’t just mean for, you know.” He waggled his eyebrows. “I mean I’ve never shown it to anyone, period.”

Sam lowered her spoon. “Never?”

“I’m sure other people know about it—I’ve seen tracks. But I’ve never brought someone there. I’ve never been there with anyone else.”

Sam looked at the fire. He wondered what she was thinking. Maybe it was stupid and didn’t mean a thing. Maybe it meant everything and would scare her away. But right when he was about to tell her to forget it, it was just a thought that had popped into his head, because he hadn’t wanted her to think he was taking all sorts of women to his special sex spot or whatever—he could say this with a laugh, he was already practicing his indifference in his head—she set her bowl out of the way and scooted closer to him. She rested her head on his shoulder, her hair cascading down his arm, and he knew she understood.

“You were supposed to show me your knee,” she said after a long pause in which they watched the flames leap in a mesmerizing show.

Austin laughed, a nervous tightening inside. Just because he’d told her one thing didn’t mean he wanted to get into everything.
