Chapter 9. A shocking confession...

The days turned into weeks as Riley worked on furniture pieces and Amanda worked on her novel. It was obvious that she was avoiding him for the same reasons he knew she should. He wanted her. As each day passed, the pull he felt for her was evident. His body had betrayed him several times, putting her on notice that he needed her. They shared meals like clockwork, and after each meal, she retreated to the bedroom to work on her novel.

One afternoon, after hearing so much sawing and scraping, Amanda wanted to know what he was doing. She stood in the doorway, spying on him as he worked. She eyeballed the strong, firm hands that turned and smoothed the wood. She crossed her legs as feelings rushed to the juncture between her thighs as his hand gripped tight to a piece of wood, smoothing it out with a wood butter. His hands slid up and down the solid plank in even strokes and her mind was going into hyper drive. Get back to work. It is only a piece of wood that he is working.

As for him, he was working with more than one piece of wood. One of them consistently was poking him the belly. Each day, it seemed to get harder. It was nearing Thanksgiving when he called back on the radio. “We have a special package coming your way, Riley,” he was told. “Look for it tomorrow.”

He shared the news with Amanda. “I don’t know what it is, but it gives us something to look forward to,” he said a faint smile.

“Riley, if they can drop off a package, can’t they drop us a line to haul us up and fly us out? You know, like the Coast Guard does for people at sea?” She wanted to know.

“It’s not that kind of chopper. It’s used to search for beacons. It doesn’t carry people. We use it to locate people and drop in supplies, then get something larger to do the rescues,” he told her.

“Well, can’t they send something larger to rescue us?” Her eyes were pleading because she knew her time was running out with him. She could not expect a healthy man, not matter how good his intentions were, to not try with everything in him to get her in bed. Even if it came down to him forcing her to submit to him.

“We are not in danger, Amanda,” he said flatly.

“Maybe you aren’t...” she said with some finality. He saw the fear in her eyes. Amanda knew he was getting hungrier by the day. She was also feeling the effects of his desire. His body was calling and hers was starting to respond.

He softened his eyes and gave a reassuring smile, “As badly as I am in need of a woman’s attention, I would never force you. No matter how good I would make it for you.”

She stared at him like a small child seeking assurance that there were no boogey men down the dark hallway.
