CHAPTER SEVEN

Kate Samuels

“Relax, Kate. It’s not what you think.” Cory’s deep, silky voice seemed tweaked with amusement.

“Not what I think?”

“No. The truth is we need to conserve energy. We have to take turns being on the look-out while the other sleeps and so on. This way we don’t get fatigued sitting here and we’re always on alert.”

The thought terrified me of being awake while Cory slept. What if something happened to the jeep or some mad man came by and slammed the window or something? I’d read somewhere that one in four deaths in the winter season were from people, mostly motorists, who were caught outside in a storm.

Okay, relax Kate. Stop being so melodramatic.

The last thing I wanted Cory to think of me was that I was some chicken crap. Still, I was thoroughly thankful to have Cory’s SUV as shelter from the horrendous snow squalls and gusting winds. In this weather some serious frostbite could happen easily from being exposed to the raw chill in only minutes.

I gaped out of the window of the passenger side in horror. The storm was getting worse. It seemed as if the high wind speeds were blowing snow from every direction including snow from the ground, not just the falling snow.

Call me crazy but I thought we may end up buried alive in this van as the snow fell harder and faster. The visibility outside was even worse. How on earth would anyone ever find us? I had to collect my nerves and pull myself together. I shook the thought of impending doom from my mind. Everything happened for a reason my grandmother would tell me and I believed it. I had to. There was no way Cory ended up finding me and saving my life for us to both perish together in this crazy blizzard. I refused to believe that.

“Fine,” I answered. “And rule number two?”

I tried to divert my thinking to something more positive. And just then heat rushed through my body and electricity coursed through my veins. My mind went back to what Cory told me minutes ago. Cory had been explicit with me when I’d asked him what was on his mind. Did he really mean it? Part of me was thrilled yet another part terrified. The part of me that was thrilled carried more weight in my heart.

I couldn’t wrap my head around that. Cory wanted me? Cory freaking-hot-and-popular Knights wanted me? The folds between my legs became engorged at the thought. Naughty thoughts entered my mind to which I struggled to brush them out.

I could not.

Maybe it was the situation talking and not really him.

Two young people stranded in a warm van in a blizzard? Come on.

But then again, I would have to know what Cory was hiding from me all this time with Peter. He still hadn’t answered my questions back then. I really wanted to know. Even if he thought it could hurt me. I had to know. It was killing me inside. There was so much I had to know.
