It was nearly 10:00 p.m. when Craig said, "Let's close up shop for the evening."

Sabra was sitting next to the tree, her arms wrapped around herself against the evening chill. "Good," she said through teeth that chattered. "I didn't realize how cold it would get here at night."

Craig took the camera off the tripod and knelt near the canvas bag. "Me, neither. Tomorrow night we're bringing jackets and blankets. We're going to have to time the guards' watches from dark to dawn."

"Yes," she agreed, getting up to help him with the equipment.

It took far less time to break it down than it had to set it up. In no time, Craig was slinging the bag across his shoulder. Sabra was obviously cold, her arms wrapped around herself in an effort to keep warm. He reached out, placing his free arm around her shoulders. "Lean against me," he said. "It will help warm you up."

Surprised by his sudden gesture, Sabra found herself drawn up against his bulk. "You're so warm!"

He nodded, carefully feeling the terrain beneath his feet as they started down the steep slope. "Yeah, I'm pretty warm-blooded." Hot-blooded would be more like it, but he didn't want to get into that. Sabra fell into step with him quickly, and he bit back a groan of pleasure as she flowed against him. Her arm went around his waist, and he smiled to himself. How good she felt against him, strong and supple and inviting.

It was very dark, with only a small slice of moon in the starry sky above them. Craig balanced the weight of the equipment on his shoulder, keeping Sabra tucked beneath his other arm. All too soon, they were off the grassy slope and back on the dirt road. Reluctantly, he eased his arm from her shoulders.

"Thanks," Sabra whispered, going to open the trunk. Her heart was fluttering rapidly in her breast, and her skin tingled pleasantly from the feel of his body against hers. She stepped aside so that he could put away the equipment.

"Are you warmer now?"

"Yes…"

"Get in the car and start the engine. You're still shivering."

She was, she realized, but it wasn't from the chilly evening—it was from Craig unexpectedly claiming her once again. Getting into the car, Sabra started the engine and waited for him. As he came around the driver's side, she slid into the passenger seat, deciding to let him drive.

Once in the car, Craig said, "How about we grab something to eat at the hotel?"

"Fine," she answered.

"Are you tired?"

Sabra shrugged. "Bored maybe, but not really tired. What about you?"

"Bored." He turned the car around and eased it down the road without turning the lights on. Craig didn't want to risk detection by Garcia's people. He'd wait until they were entering the main highway before he turned on the headlights.

She laughed a little. "In our business it's hours and days of boredom punctuated by moments of terror. At least, that's the way it's been for me."

Craig was focusing on the road, not wanting to run off it.
