At first, she didn’t know what time it was when her eyes fluttered open, but the moon told her it was nearing midnight. Awareness was slow to return, but as she flexed and stretched, she realized she’d changed into her womanly form at some point while she’d slept. She peered down to see Parker’s human arm draped across her hip, his leg across hers. He’d fallen asleep beside her. Extraordinary! How profound her wolf let her woman loose to feel and be with him.

She turned ever so gently in his embrace. Not to wake him, but simply to gaze upon him. The softness around his eyes. The chiseled features of his strong jawline. The archer’s bow of his lips set slightly apart. How could she ever fear this man? This man, who was completely devoted to her. It wasn’t the man she feared at all.

Josiah had a chokehold on her mind and body. Tactile memory kept his brutal hands like a thin coating across her skin, acting as a shield against Parker’s kinder touch. Somehow, she needed to rid herself of the monster. Carefully extricating herself from Parker’s cocoon, she crept to the stream, grabbed a fistful of brush, and dunked it in the cool water. She needed something rough, coarse to scrub herself down.

She rubbed the makeshift loofah over her entire body. The first pass didn’t seem to do much good, so she did a second round, a bit harder this time. It had to work! Tears fell hot on her cheeks as she went for a third pass, even harsher than before.

“Hey, sweetheart. What are you doing?”

She continued scraping her skin free of the revulsion that had welled within her.

“Aw, babe, stop. You’re hurting yourself.”

So wrapped up in the throes of loathing and despair, she hadn’t noticed Parker’s approach. Gasping, she curled in on herself, turning away so he couldn’t see her self-inflicted damage. “As long as I remember his touch on my body, I won’t feel you. I’m trying to get him off me. It’s not working, damn it all. It’s not working.”

He crouched before her and stayed her hands. Easing her fingers open, he removed the twigs and pine needles, replacing them with kisses on her bruised palm.

“Trust me, Shiloh. I’ll remove all memory of his hands on you. It was something I couldn’t do before, when we met in dreams. But I can do it now. I’ll do so for as long as it takes. I swear to you.” He bent his head, peering under her curtained hair to connect with her waterlogged eyes. “Will you let me in, sweetheart?”

She placed her abused palm on his cheek, nodding, praying he could deliver on his oath. He cradled her in his arms, lifted her off the ground then carried her to their soft, earthy bed to set her down.

He removed his jeans to stand before her, large, powerful. A study of the perfect male human body. And he was as naked as she.

“See me. Know all I am and have is for you.
