Chapter 10

Isabella woke first, completely disoriented. She tried to stretch and realized she was trapped. Her eyes flew open and she found she was staring at a firm breast, partially hidden by a tank top.

Madre de Dios! She cried inwardly. I am such a fool.

She looked up to see Mick in a deep sleep, her mouth slightly open. Isabella bit at her bottom lip as she tried to ease away. She rolled her eyes in embarrassment as she noticed her left leg was thrown over Mick’s thighs. Fighting the comfortable feeling, she desperately tried to extricate herself. Mick lay on her back; her left arm wrapped around Isabella, holding her in a close, protective embrace.

How did this happen? Isabella’s mind frantically tried to remember. Then she thought of the thunderstorm and felt ridiculous. A grown woman afraid of a thunderstorm, she shook her head. Mick made a small noise in her sleep and Isabella prayed that she would not wake up. She also tried not to stare at Mick’s breasts that sensually rose with every deep breath Mick took.

Isabella had an idea. Trying to avoid the overwhelming pull to caress the heaving breast, she reached up and gently tickled Mick’s right ear. Mick twitched her head and snorted quietly. Isabella chuckled at the sight and repeated. As hoped, Mick swatted at the annoying mosquito, mumbled in her sleep and rolled over on her right side.

Isabella jumped quickly as she tried to scoot off the bag, but realized her T-shirt was stuck on the zipper of the sleeping bag. In an effort to be quick and quiet, she woke the sleeping bear.

Mick snorted and jumped up. “What?” she mumbled, looking around the tent.

Isabella tried not to, but seeing Mick’s frantic look along with the hair of a cockatiel, she let out a barking laugh.

Mick swung around and saw her. “What’s wrong? What are you doing down here? Why, why are you laughing?” She sat back on her heels, and placed a hand over her heart. “Am I dreaming or having a heart attack?”

Isabella laughed so hard she snorted. Mick joined her. “I have no idea why I’m laughing.”

“I am sorry. I…” Isabella stopped and dried her tears on her shirt. “I must have been scared by the storm last night, and came down here with you. I am sorry.”

Mick stopped laughing. “I know.”

Isabella stopped as well. “You know what?”

“I know you were scared last night. The thunder woke me, and I found you lying next to me.”

“Oh. Why didn’t you wake me?” Isabella asked tersely.

“Hey. Don’t get mad at me. And why should I wake you when you were scared?” Mick grinned. “You might want to thank me.”

Isabella felt the heat rise in her neck. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Mick looked at her watch. Only five in the morning and still raining. “I guess we won’t get much work done today either.”

Isabella nervously scratched at her neck. “Probably not.” She sat back on her heels as well, facing Mick.

“Wonder what we should do.
