Chapter 13

CLARISSA AWOKE WITH a start the next morning. For a brief instant, her heart pounded and she thought she was still in the terror camp. Except her wrist was wrapped in a bandage, not tied with rope and bound to a pole. Her head rested on a soft sweatshirt, not the damp grass.

There was a hint of a masculine scent on the sweatshirt Blake had let her borrow. It was slightly spicy, the scent enticing, and for a second, she wondered if he had a girlfriend.

Not that it mattered, of course. He’d saved her life—stumbled upon her unexpectedly and risked his own life to get her safely out of there. He’d literally shielded her with his body. Hustled her to the shelter of the forest. She owed him her gratitude and didn’t need to fawn over him or something.

She’d been so exhausted last night, she’d barely given a passing thought to how attractive he was. Of course she’d noticed his muscular physique and chiseled features, but goodness. She’d been in fear for her life. She would’ve been grateful to whoever came to her rescue. The fact that Blake looked like a military hero straight out of an action movie didn’t matter.

What a bizarre way to end her trip. From hiking around collecting samples, to being kidnapped, to being rescued by a buff Navy SEAL.

It really did feel more like a movie than real life.

Combat boots appeared in her line of vision, and then Blake crouched down at the opening of her tent. “Oh good, you’re already awake,” he said in his deep voice. “Good morning,” he added, his lips quirking.

She flushed despite herself, feeling embarrassed. She probably looked frightful, with bedhead and rumpled clothes. Not to mention the fact that she’d barely slept in days. Blake managed to look ruggedly handsome. He had a day’s worth of stubble covering his chiseled jaw, but it only added to his appeal. His dark hair was shortly cropped, so it didn’t look messy the way hers did. And although she knew he couldn’t have gotten much sleep either, he looked almost rested and refreshed.

She probably looked like the “before” on all those makeover shows.

“Good morning,” she said softly.

“How are you feeling?”

“Good. My wrist still hurts, but like you said—I think it’s broken. There’s probably not much we can do until I see an actual doctor.”

He nodded, pressing his lips together. “I could try to make a splint for you.”

“A splint? From what?”

“A small tree branch. It might give you more support. I can use my knife to cut one down to size.”

“Right,” she said, feeling silly. They were literally surrounded by trees. Of course he wouldn’t be carrying extra medical supplies around with him, but as a SEAL, he was probably trained to improvise during combat. “I’ll let you know. It might just be stiff from sleeping.”

“Okay. Hopefully we’ll be out of here sooner rather than later. We’ve got actual medical supplies back at base. We can get you a proper splint before our flight back.
