THIRTEEN

Warmth from the fire suffused the cabin. Isaiah noticed everyone growing sleepy as exhaustion took hold, especially after filling their stomachs with the beans and tuna. If they made it out of this alive, he and Cade would make sure to replace all the group had taken from the cabin. Could be that the owner had left the supplies for just such an occasion.

Zach had not bothered to tie them up like he’d claimed, but Isaiah figured at some point he would get to that. Isaiah would do the same, if he were in Zach’s position. Though in this warm and cozy cabin stocked with food, he and his gang seemed less intimidating than the dangers one could meet with if exposed to the elements outside, which made fleeing a less appealing option at the moment.

If they were bound, it would mean their chance of escaping according to their plan was dead. As he helped Heidi clean up the dishes in the small kitchen, only the dim light from the gas lamp and the fire across the cabin to illuminate their chore, he wondered what she was thinking.

Her lush chocolate mane fell forward, though slightly askew and tangled, and hid her face as she cleaned the bowls. Hiding her thoughts from him. As if he could read them if he could see her face—but there was a time, months ago, when he had felt that close to her.

The moment overwhelmed Isaiah.

The guard he’d put in place shifted. His resistance falling away, he surrendered and pulled her curtain of hair back, exposing her flushed cheek. Heidi slowly turned toward him and looked up, emotions he couldn’t read pouring from her eyes. Well, one of the emotions he read well enough. Like a magnet it compelled him forward, tugged him closer, until his face was mere inches from hers. Her breath warm and soft against his skin, Isaiah did something he’d longed to do for months, maybe even since the moment he met her almost four years ago.

He covered her lips with his own, only the quiet and dim lighting protecting them from unwanted spectators. He felt her sweet and tender response, and beyond that, the flutter of confusing emotions that mirrored his own. Regret and loss mingled with longing, hopes and dreams. Isaiah held passion and desire in a well-guarded dungeon. This wasn’t the time or the place, but now that he’d done the forbidden and kissed her, he wanted to somehow convey that she was a precious treasure that he cherished. The fierce protectiveness he’d always harbored for her washed over him, even in this moment.

He cupped the silky skin of her cheeks, and her response nearly undid him. If only he could wrap his arms around her and unleash all his buried emotions, show her everything she meant to him.

The thought jarred him as if he’d fallen through a frozen lake.

Isaiah severed the connection, tugged away from her lips.

Heidi’s eyes were soft at first, then widened when realization hit her, just like it had him.
