CHAPTER 13

AMELIA

“Hello?” Carson said. “Hello?” Nothing. “Shit!” He slammed the mic down in frustration.

“It’s okay, Carson.”

“We don’t know that. For all we know that’s somebody on the other side that Mason’s been trying to infiltrate.”

She shook her head. “I don’t think so. He knew who you were; knew Mason had a twin brother, and knew you were supposed to check in with Deke. No. I think whoever that was, he’s the guy who’s pulling the strings on the side of the good guys.”

“It will take someone more than a few hours to hike or snowmobile up here…”

“Depends on where they’re coming from and how they get in. Some choppers can fly in pretty cold weather. They could bring them to the base of the mountain where the tree line starts…”

Carson nodded. “You’re right, but it would still take time. It’s not easy terrain and you’d have to know our exact location. Mason made sure he was off the beaten path. Do you think they’d bring a chopper up here in the dark?”

“Doubtful, but if whoever it is wants to get here, they could be on their way at dawn.”

“I don’t know that we’re secure. We need to get a good night’s sleep, see if we can retrieve that package, and then move out. We can work our way around the mountain and get to Otter Cove or the abandoned landing strip where Mason has a couple of snowmobiles.”

She was standing behind him and could feel his concern and frustration. Carson stood and wrapped her in his embrace, lowering his head and trailing kisses along the curve of her neck. Amelia’s body went on high alert, but not in a bad way. Every erotic synapse began to spark as heat and arousal surged through her system.

Carson had the most profound effect on her body. All he had to do was get close and her libido went into overdrive. He was barely more than a stranger—okay a stranger who saved her life, but still. She realized the link not only worked two ways, but that she could sense things from his end, things he wasn’t telling her.

“What aren’t you telling me?” she asked.

“Nothing of any importance,” he murmured as he swept her up into his arms and carried her out of Mason’s little doomsday room, closing the door with his foot.

Setting her down by the bed, he reached for the hem of the sweater she was wearing. She shoved him away with both hands. “Tell me.”

“It’ll wait until tomorrow. I’ll leave early and go fetch your package if I can. I’ll bring a snowmobile back with me. We can dig out the other one in the shed, pack what we need, and get out. We’ll be long gone before anyone else gets here. I’ll keep you safe. Let’s let it be for the night. We’ll deal with the rest come morning. I promise.”

It wasn’t so much his words but the deep purring she could feel coming down the link that had her capitulating.
