She’d slipped. He’d caught her.

As she peered up, trying to catch even the faintest glimpse of his face, she sensed him looking down at her.

“Are you okay?” he asked. The low rumble of his voice rolled over her like a caress, making her shudder in response.

She immediately knew he’d felt it, his body tensing slightly. He didn’t say anything, and she realized he was probably still waiting for her response.

She managed a nod, only realizing a heartbeat later that he couldn’t see it. “Yes, I’m fine.”

She waited, expecting him to release his hold on her.

He didn’t. His hand remained clasped around her arm, not too tight, but secure, and undeniably there. It wasn’t the tightness of his hold she felt. It was the heat of his fingers against her flesh, the texture of his skin on hers, the coiled strength in his grip.

“Do you have your feet under you?” he asked, his voice even softer, and she nearly trembled again.

She flexed her feet, checking her bearings. The ground was solid beneath her. “Yes.”

His fingers instantly popped open, letting her go. The action was so abrupt she might have rocked back on her heels if he hadn’t let her steady herself beforehand.

She felt him lean back slightly. “Like I said, it’s not safe in here.”

You might be right about that. She turned away to retrieve the flashlight. It lay a few feet away, and she immediately realized why she’d stumbled. The stairs had ended, the ground leveling out. She’d been so distracted by their conversation she hadn’t even noticed. “I tripped. It happens.”
