Chapter Twelve

The sound of pounding against the door made me shoot up in surprise. I groaned as my head swam with my abrupt movement, and I narrowed my eyes against the glare of the sun filtering in through the blinds. I was a bit confused, and I looked down to find myself covered only by a large flannel shirt that definitely wasn’t mine. When the sound of the shower being turned off reached my ears, I whirled around in time to catch Blake walk out of the small bathroom. I swallowed thickly as I drew my gaze over his glistening naked body. I had of course seen his body last night, but something about seeing water droplets sliding down the planes of his muscles was so different. Even in my half-sleeping state my body wanted another round.

“You’re finally awake then,” Blake said to me with a smile.

I nodded, not trusting my voice just yet and watched as he wrapped the small towel around his waist before walking to the door. He looked in the peep hole before moving to open it.

“Jessie? What are you doing here?” He didn’t open the door all the way, but I could see an older guy standing there. He was wearing a thick coat and had a bright orange slip of fabric around his arm.

“I went by the lodge to find you at first, but your uncle said you hadn’t come in last night. I asked Anne-Marie and she told me about your lady friend from Los Angeles so I figured you’d be here.” I blinked in surprise. It seemed like everyone knew everyone around here.

“Yeah, that’s fine. What’s going on?”

“Well, it’s the Wilkinson’s youngest. He’s lost in the woods somewhere and we have a search party out to find him, but so far they’ve had no luck.”

“Oh no,” Blake replied. “Billy’s out there by himself?”

“Yeah. I was hoping you could help us out being that you’ve had training for all this and stuff.”

I was surprised and curious about what type of training the guy was talking about, but I stayed quiet.

“Absolutely. Let me get dressed and I’ll meet you downstairs in a sec.”

Jessie smiled. “Sure thanks, dude.”

Blake nodded and shut the door before turning back to me. “Sorry about this, but—”

“No,” I interrupted. “Don’t apologize. Someone’s kid is lost out there.” I stood up from the bed and searched for my panties from the night before. When I found them I pulled them on and then looked around for my jeans.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

I didn’t bother looking up at his question. When I finally found my jeans half buried under the bed, I stood up and looked at him. “I’m going to help you guys find the kid.”

Blake strode over to me. “Oh no you’re not.”

“Why the hell not?” I asked indignantly. “I’m not a helpless child you know.”

Blake grabbed a shirt that was on the chair and pulled it on over his head. “It’s not about being a child, Taylor. You have never even gone camping in your life let alone had to search through the wilderness.
