CHAPTER TEN

Pam woke sometime later to find herself snugged into the blankets and covered up. She was warm in her little nest, but she knew it was time to get up. They still had a lot of work to do.

Arlo wasn’t in the main chamber, but she sensed him through the earth. He wasn’t too far away. She got up, cleaned up as best she could, and dressed.

When Arlo came back, he smiled at her in a way that made her insides warm all over again. He came over and kissed her, making her toes curl, but he drew back to smile again.

“I wish we could stay here all day, but…”

“But we still have to resolve a few things with Spencer,” she finished for him. “Okay. Let’s eat, and then, we can get on with the task at hand. Not that I didn’t enjoy our interlude, but you’re right. Darn it.”

He chuckled and cupped her cheek, looking deep into her eyes for a long moment. He kissed her softly on the mouth then let go. He stepped away and helped her sort through the cans she’d stored in the cavern as if he hadn’t just blown her socks off with the most tender kiss she’d ever received. This complex man was downright intoxicating.

Canned ravioli heated over a tiny electric camp stove that ran on batteries tasted oh-so-good when it was ready. Pam had a battery backup power station that was about the size of a car battery. It had all sorts of different plug-in points for different devices. It also had a solar collector so Pam could recharge the unit simply by sticking the flexible solar panel outside the mine during the day.

“This thing is pretty cool,” Arlo commented as he looked at the power station. “We had something like this back when I was in the Army.”

“I used to go camping a bit,” she told him. “When I moved up here, I brought all my camping gear with me, and I carted this up here the last time I was in the mine. I figured it could be useful here. It’s not big enough to power much at the house, and I have solar panels on the roof there, in any event. But it’s perfect for this kind of application.”

Arlo nodded, tucking into his food. She’d made them a can of soup to split plus the ravioli. Arlo took over the cooking when they’d finished the initial meal, because apparently, his stomach was a bottomless pit. He made two more cans of both soup and some kind of pasta for himself and wolfed it down without complaint while Pam tidied up the place.

“Much as I’m enjoying being down here with you,” Arlo sent her a smile that made her blood heat with desire, “we can’t stay here indefinitely. For one thing, we need more food. If we have no backup coming, we’re going to have to do something ourselves.”

“Like what?” She paused in her tidying, unable to imagine what he had in mind.
