Teri woke up to the sounds of Mac and glanced around to focus directly on him. The flashlight from his cell phone illuminated the area. He was shirtless, down to his briefs and exercising. Running in place. As she watched him her blood began running in place, as well, rushing like crazy through her veins.

Although the air was cool, he’d worked himself into a hefty amount of sweat. It covered his chest and drenched his hair. She had a workout routine, as well, but her regimen was definitely not as intense as his. She would join him sometimes when he was home and knew to stick to her own pace and not try to keep up with him. That attempt would be impossible.

As she lay there, she recalled she had slept in his arms and they hadn’t made love. That was a miracle in itself since she and Mac were two people with high sexual energy. But that meant he’d accepted what she’d told him. Not only did they have issues to resolve, there was a chance those issues were now compounded by a possible pregnancy.

Mac finished his sets of running in place and bent over to draw in deep breaths. She loved watching him do that, as well. She pulled herself up. “Good morning, Mac.”

He glanced over at her and when he did so, those dark, piercing eyes captivated her. As usual. “Good morning, Mrs. McRoy.”

Teri smiled at him. She loved it when he called her that. It was a reminder that he’d chosen her, had given her that name to wear proudly and that made her his to claim. And she liked whenever he claimed her.

“Isn’t exercising wasting air that we need?”

“Air has the ability to get in and out of places where people can’t. I’ve noticed a fluctuation in oxygen levels in here, but never anything to be concerned about. It appears higher now than when I woke this morning, so I decided to take advantage of it and work out.”

“I would join you, but I don’t want to get all sweaty.”

He chuckled. “A little sweat never hurt anyone.”

“In my case it wouldn’t be a little sweat. Whenever I work out with you, I tend to sweat a lot.”

He chuckled. “That’s what you get for trying to keep up with me.”

“Trust me, Mac. I don’t try keeping up with you. I’d be crazy to try, believe me. I work at my own pace.”

He gave her an admiring nod and a sensuous smile that caught her low in her stomach. “In that case, you do a pretty good job of holding your own.”

“I try.”

“Then come try with me. You’ll be glad to know you don’t have to worry about the sweat. I’ll wash it off you.”

She lifted a brow. “Do we have that much water to waste?”

“Yes. I found a pool of clear water on the west end of this mineshaft.”

Excitement filled her. “You did?”

The corners of his mouth lifted in another smile. “I did. Come join me.
