Saja ran a brush through her damp hair—she had a blow dryer in the suitcase, but considering Ryker had to fire up a generator to let her take a shower, she made do with a fierce towel dry and a good comb. The sound of the outer door opening then closing cut off the faint voices of the two men. Ryker hadn’t looked at her once, but his whole body had been rigid when she’d ducked out to get suitcase.

His friend hadn’t looked pleased either. When she heard the outer door open again, she stopped delaying the inevitable and left the bathroom. Her sexy-as-sin host stood in front of the now-roaring fire. Between the shower and the fresh clothes, she felt more like herself. She’d even shaved her legs.

It was the little things that mattered.

After rubbing her hands together, she picked up her suitcase. She didn’t make a full two steps before Ryker took it out of her hand, returning it to the spot next to the chair where she’d slept. Odd, it was the best night’s sleep she’d had in a long time—while she’d been in a chair, too. Shaking off the musing, she stole another look at her host.

Wood smoke, pine, snow, forest, and man filled her every breath. She alternated between wanting to drown in the scent and running like hell. Danger threaded between the beats in her pulse.

Primal instinct warred with common sense. The little voice in her soul said, Run! Run fast. Don’t look back.

“Whatever you choose,” Ryker said into the torrent of sensations shredding her thoughts, “don’t run.”

The order conflicted with her sense of self-preservation. Saja tried to swallow around the sudden lump in her throat. “Why?”

Adrenaline flooded her. A dim part of her mind recognized the knee-jerk symptoms of fight or flight, but it wasn’t terror crawling through her. Terror she could almost understand. Ryker was a stranger—a kind stranger who found her on the side of the road. One who’d literally opened his door to her.
