CHAPTER TWELVE

LEAH WALKED BACK from the waterfall, her hair wet and needing to be dried. She had wrapped the large bath towel around her body. Her pulse was beginning to beat harder. Her gaze lingered on Kell, who had purposely sat down, his back to the waterfall, to give her privacy while she bathed naked beneath the cold streams.

Heat swept through her as she approached him. Kell heard her approach and twisted a look up in her direction. She halted and watched him unwind to his full height.

Kell smiled and touched her wet, sleek hair. “Now you’re a mermaid,” he teased. She looked so damn hot to him. That white towel hung halfway to her knees. He couldn’t help but notice her cheeks flush as his gaze narrowed upon her. Moving his fingers through her hair, Kell wanted her. But the game had changed. Leah had to want him. Had to speak up. It was the only way any intimacy between them would work. Kell unconsciously held his breath for a moment, searching her wide, trusting green eyes.

Leah inhaled deeply, already shaky with need, his fingers creating pleasant, dancing shocks across her scalp. She could feel her breasts tightening. Her nipples pressing insistently against the terrycloth towel. “I want you, Kell... I want more of what we shared before...” she whispered, holding his gaze. It had taken every scrap of her dissolving courage to ask him. She’d never asked a man something like this in her life. All the tension fled out of her as his mouth curved faintly, his eyes gleaming with pleasure. His fingers caressed her naked, damp shoulder and she quivered, her lashes dropping as she felt heat searing from there directly to her breasts and then downward, stirring up more need below.

“I want you, too, Sugar.” Kell dropped a quick kiss on her lips and said, “Let me get cleaned up first?”

Leah stood there, feeling like she would collapse and melt into a puddle. Kell had barely touched her and yet she felt such inner starvation for him that it tore at her mind, leaving her thoughts scattered while her emotions radiated wildly throughout her.

She walked a bit farther and saw that Kell had spread out the two sleeping bags, one against the other. How had he known? She saw two pillows and several thick wool blankets spread neatly across them. The temperature in the cave was probably a constant seventy-five degrees.

Leah knelt and took the smaller towel and dried her hair. She tamed the damp strands into some semblance of order with a comb. Her pulse was going crazy. She stole a look into the other cave. A lantern sat on the wooden bench and clearly showed Kell’s powerful male body glinting in the yellow light beneath the falling water.

She felt instant heat burn through her. Kell was incredibly beautiful to her. His shoulders were so broad and heavily muscled, and his chest well-sprung. The dark hair across it narrowed into a line down across his rock-hard abs.
