Chapter 13

It was pitch black by the time Knox finally slowed and began to walk up a rise in the woods where the trees were thin enough that she could see through the canopy in places. She wasn’t sure how he could see where they were going. She could barely make out the trunks of the trees they passed and only those that were closest to them, within a few feet. Either he had really good night vision or he really did know this valley like the back of his hand as he had claimed.

Snow swirled around them again, growing heavier as they entered an area where the trees were even sparser.

She huddled against Knox’s back, unashamedly stealing his heat. She had given up covering their tracks when the branch had felt as heavy as a lead weight in her hand, and the snow had been falling so thick and fast that it was covering their tracks for them. She had discarded the branch and opted to cuddle into Knox’s broad back instead. He had responded by shifting his hands higher up her thighs and drawing her closer still, and had told her to keep her head down.

Skye had rested it against his spine, close to his nape, shielding herself from the snow and wind.

Snow and wind that had his fleece shirt soaked through. She was freezing, every muscle in her body stiff and her mind sluggish, and she was wearing a weatherproof coat designed for the frigid climate. She could only imagine how cold Knox was in only his shirt.

“We’re here.” Those words roused her from the sleep that beckoned her and she took hold of his shoulders and pulled herself up.

Her eyes widened.

The lodge wasn’t small as she had expected.

It was a sprawling, single-storey log building that had a porch that ran around two sides of it—the front and an area to the right. Along that side, firewood had been stacked against a wall that capped it off at the far end, half-covered in a tarp. The middle of the lodge, where the door was, had a gable window above the sloping roof of the porch. Snow covered the entire roof and had built up in places around the raised deck.

Knox carried her up the steps to that deck and paused.

She realised he was waiting for her to get down. “I think I’m too stiff to move.”

He chuckled warmly, heating her through. “You’re fine just where you are. Hang on.”

He reached up to the top of the doorframe, grabbed a key, and opened the door. The inside was even darker than it was outside, but Knox unerringly carried her to a couch, turned her back to it and eased down.

She dropped onto it and was thankful when Knox kept his back to her, giving her a moment to convince her legs to move. She slowly lowered them and moved them together, slumped on the couch in the darkness.

“I’ll light a fire.” Knox went to move.

She lunged upright and grabbed him, locking her hand tight around his wrist.
