Chapter 17

Quinn rolled over to watch her zip up the flap on the tent. Earlier he’d nearly turned and asked her to stay with him. Her touch had done more than just warm his body—it had ignited something deep inside him. Something hot and primal.

There was no doubt that physically she turned him on in all kinds of ways. Her eyes, her body, her voice even sent ripples of desire through him constantly. It was his mind and possibly his heart that stopped him from acting on those impulses. His reservations definitely stemmed from their past history, but no longer did he deny that Daeva had been the woman he’d fallen in love with. He understood now that she’d just been in a different shell. A different package. But he could see that she was definitely the same person, although three years would definitely change a person, even a demon.

And that was what gave him pause. Knowingly falling for a demon was not something he wanted to deal with. He had enough on his plate as it was.

Yawning, Quinn pulled the sleeping bag tighter around his body and shut his eyes. He was going to need all his strength to deal with what was to come. Nothing was going to be safe. Certainly not with Daeva involved.

Quinn didn’t know what time it was when he climbed out of the tent, but by the pinkening of the sky he could see through the tree canopy, it was early in the morning. He’d brought the sleeping bag out with him since he was still naked.

He didn’t see Daeva when he looked around. He peered into the surrounding trees but didn’t spy her red hair anywhere. The fire was still going, so she was likely somewhere close.

His clothes hung on a branch above the smoking coals. He hopped over to them. Fortunately, they were dry. Grabbing the shorts he quickly shucked the sleeping bag and stepped into them. He pulled on his pants, socks and shirt.

The snap of a branch made him turn just in time to see Daeva standing nearby, a container of something in her hand. She gave him a wide, cheesy grin. Obviously, she’d been there to witness him put his clothes on.

He shook his head. “Did you just watch me get dressed?”

“Yup. I thought about disturbing you, but you looked really cold, so I thought it better to wait until you were completely dressed.”

That made him laugh as he plopped down on the sleeping bag and pulled on his boots. “Where did you go?” he asked as he tied his laces.

She showed him what was in the container. Plump, red raspberries. “Went to go pick some. Thought it would be a nice complement to the freeze-dried crap we have.”

He took a handful and popped them into his mouth. They were sweet and juicy. “Did you stay out here the whole time I slept?”

She nodded, eating some berries herself.

“Did you get any sleep?”

“Nah. I walked around, did some pull-ups on that branch there.
