The snow was coming down hard by the time they made it back to the cabin. They made a mad dash for the porch, but by the time they stepped through the door they both were wet. He swiped his shoes on the mat, then toed them off, making sure they were out of the way. “I guess we should get these clothes off,” Phoenix said.

“I agree.” She smiled, walking closer to him. Water droplets covered her skin like dew on a flower’s petals. Her hair was wild about her rosy cheeks and her bottom lip trembled. “I can help with that. Do you mind?”

He sucked in a deep breath. “No, I don’t.” The words came out on a hissed breath.

Her fingers were on the top button of his shirt and she undid one, then two, and more until the front parted. He shifted as she crawled fingers up his stomach, his chest and glided the shirt off his shoulders. “Your skin is damp, and yet you’re still warm. You’re like a furnace. How is that possible?”

“I’m a little feverish.”

She paused. “Are you sick?”

He laughed. “I meant, I’m hot. You’re making me heated, sweetheart.”

“Oh, okay.” Ria worked her bottom lip. “I want you to get naked.”

“Huh?”

“I made a promise to show you how good my hands are.”

“Uh…”

“Relax. A massage, remember? While I’m changing out of this dress, you undress and meet me in my bedroom in ten. Okay?” One thin brow lifted.

This was an offer any sane man would never turn down. “I’ll be there. Do you want me completely naked?”

“Yes. Don’t worry. I won’t see anything.” She chuckled. “Is my cane still by the door?”

“Yes.” He handed it over and watched as she deftly made her way through the living room and down the hallway. He was amazed how quickly she’d learned her surroundings. And how quickly she’d reached in and broken down his reservations. He should have told her he’d skip the massage because Lord knew having her hands on him would be torture, yet another part of him, a bigger part, couldn’t pass up the chance.

So, just as she’d requested, he knocked on her bedroom door ten minutes later.

“Come in,” she called from inside.

He opened the door and peeked in. She was standing by the end of the bed and had changed into a pair of pajamas with big red hearts. Her hair was pulled back and her face was washed. She looked young and vibrant, so damn pretty.

“I’ve set up my oils.” She pointed to the variety of bottles on the nightstand.

“Do you always tote your oils around wherever you go?”

“I know it seems weird, but yes, I do. Oils have both personal and psychological benefits. Lavender to diminish fear and anxiety. Neroli oil for blood pressure and stress. Cypress to improve circulation. To obtain the maximum benefits of a massage it’s important to choose a suitable oil. I have a sweet almond oil that I think you’ll like. I wish I had my table because it’s the perfect size for me to give a deep tissue massage.
