Chapter FifteenFor the next two weeks they carried on in the same civil manner, but the tension between them continued to grow. Every night Amber would bathe in the cabin while Logan tried not to watch—and failed. He attempted several times to leave, but on each occasion Amber insisted that he stay, citing the need for stimulating conversation after a long, grueling day. He had no choice but to acquiesce.

No amount of willpower could pull his gaze from her naked body, however, though he continued to try. Each night, a battle raged within him, between his body and his mind. So far, reason emerged victorious from the fight, but lust refused to back down. Every evening it became harder and harder to convince himself that the ramifications of stripping down and joining her in the tub would far outweigh the benefits. The worst part was when she rose to dry herself off and get dressed, because his eyes were drawn to the water that cascaded down her skin. He hated himself for it.

When she finished she would brush her hair at the table and read for a little while, and then she would crawl under the covers in Logan’s bed and drift to sleep. As she settled in, Logan would bid her goodnight and take his leave of the room to complete his nightly tasks, a ritual he had started after he began to distrust himself around her. She noticed his absence but never thought to ask, thinking nothing amiss.

And when Logan did come back, sometimes early in the morning, he noticed that her breathing evened out upon his entering, as if his mere presence had the ability to calm her. The thought did nothing to settle him. He would hang up his hammock as far away from her as he could and try to fall asleep, but more often then not he would lie awake listening to the sound of her steady breathing.
