Chapter 8

What a day.

Neil closed his eyes and let his chin fall against his chest as the hot water rained down his shoulders and back. Bringing back the survival kit had been more emotionally draining than he’d expected. The lecture he’d received from the tower flight commander for the unauthorized landing hadn’t helped. Neither had the three-week air suspension he’d received from Master General Gabe, grounding him until after the holidays.

Still he couldn’t bring himself to regret the decision to land.

Lifting his face to the stream, he forced several deep breaths, as he stood there for a long time until the water started to run warm, then cooler.

Shutting off the tap, he reached for his towel and stepped out. His doorbell rang, and, picking up his watch from the counter, he checked the time. Seven fifteen. Blake, always early for their Thursday night poker game. He didn’t know why the guy was so eager to play; he always left with barely his shirt. Neil may not be a pro at winter sports, but poker was poker anywhere, and he was good at it.

He made his way down the hall and smirked as he opened the door. “Ready to have your ass—” He stopped. “Becky?”

Her eyes scanned his bare torso and appreciation registered in them before she charged into his house.

Stunned, he took a step back, letting the screen door slam shut behind her. She didn’t say anything as she wrapped her arms around his bare neck and pressed the cold fabric of her winter coat against his still warm, slightly damp-from-the-shower skin. Her mouth tempted his, just half an inch away, and he didn’t dare pause to question what was happening before kissing her.

His hands gripped her waist through the bulky material, and he pulled her even closer, returning her eager passion. He savored the feel of her cool lips against his, suddenly aware he wore nothing but a towel. The irony of the reversed situation was not lost on him. Every fiber of his being came alive with each second their lips were together, and it was impossible to conceal the effect she was having on him.

The stress of the day slipped away, and wanting her was the only emotion he felt. She moaned against his mouth, and he grew harder at the sound he used to love. Knowing he was pleasuring her with a simple kiss made him want to take her into his bedroom and spend the rest of the evening giving her much more to moan about.

Her skin smelled like the cold winter air, and she tasted faintly of peppermint, but the kiss was full of fiery heat.

Breathless, she backed away with a knowing grin. “Sorry about that,” she said, once again taking in the view.

He readjusted the towel, but it didn’t help much. His vulnerable state had him at a disadvantage. One she seemed to be enjoying. “What was that, exactly?” he asked, pulling her closer again and unzipping her jacket. He wanted to even the playing field between them a little…or a lot.
