CHAPTER 11

Caroline followed Danny into their second floor room and chafed her arms against the chill. Danny switched on the light and quickly located the thermostat. “Wood paneling. Nice touch,” she said over the low hiss of the wall heater.

Danny threw his leather coat across an armchair in the corner. Caroline snatched it up and hung it with her own in the closet, then took a closer look at their accommodations. Next to the lumpy, worn armchair was a round table coated in wood laminate with a table lamp on top. Two double beds were covered in polyester bedspreads in shades of green, orange, and gold, divided by a bedside table that held another lamp. She could feel Danny standing beside her, too warm, too close, and the shiver that ran through her had nothing to do with the cold.

She moved away and heard the thump of Danny’s duffel bag hitting the thinly carpeted floor. Unlike her, Danny carried an overnight bag with him everywhere, so he was prepared for an event like getting stranded in a hotel overnight.

With someone he used to have sex with.

Really, really, amazingly awesome sex.

She pulled back a bedspread to distract herself and fingered the rough sheets. “Ooh, what is this, like, twenty threadcount? How luxurious.” She injected as much snottiness into her tone as she could muster, trying to remind herself that there was nothing sexy or provocative about being stuck in a dive of a motel with Danny Taggart.

“You didn’t used to be so particular,” Danny said from right behind her, so close she could feel the heat of him against her back. And there she was, so close to the bed her thighs brushed the edge. Why had she moved so close to the bed? She froze, willing him to move away, promising herself that as soon as he did she would sit her ass in that armchair and not move until morning.

But Danny got even closer. “In fact, this kind of reminds me of something.” Her eyes fluttered closed as she felt him brush her hair to the side. Warm breath wafted against her cheek as he bent his head to that ultra sensitive spot right below her ear. “Remember that hotel in Spring Lake?”

Oh God, she did. The hot press of his mouth on her skin sent warmth pooling between her thighs. Danny had been stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and she’d managed to get a few days off. Danny got a three day furlough and took her to a hotel in nearby Spring Lake. It was the last time she’d gone to visit Danny, right before he’d been deployed on yet another mission she couldn’t know anything about.

“Remember how bad it stormed?” His hands curved over her hips, up to circle her waist, his touch burning her through the weave of her sweater.

That time it had been rain instead of snow. She and Danny had locked themselves in a room similar to this one. Caroline hadn’t cared about the rain, or the cheap sheets, or the ugly décor.
