Chapter Eleven

Early Friday morning

Silvery clouds veiled the moon. Crickets chirped in a ragged chorus, and the frost-glazed grass was cold and crunchy underneath her slippered feet. Eileen, standing there in her pink plaid flannel pajamas, rapped on the workshop door with annoyance.

She heard Marcus stirring inside, and then he walked over and threw the door open.

Naked. Apparently he slept naked.

Behind him, she could see a pile of broken wood.

“What’s up with the broken furniture?” she asked as he stretched and yawned. Despite the air’s chill, she felt a familiar warmth sweep over her as she tried, and failed, not to look at his naked body.

“What’s up with pounding on the door at three a.m.?” he growled in response, ignoring her question.

Do not look down, do not look down… Damn it, she’d looked down. He was semi-erect, and his thick cock jutted from a nest of dark curls, jabbing at the sky. She felt arousal sizzling through her body, and swallowed hard.

She wrenched her gaze away and looked him in the eye. “Chelsea just called. Verity is on her way up here.”

“What?” His eyes blazed with rage as he stormed out of the door. “In the middle of the night? You have got to be kidding me. This is bullshit. When she gets here, I am going to tear her in half. I swear to God—”

“No,” she said quickly. She glanced at the road; no sign of Verity yet. She couldn’t let Marcus physically assault Verity, no matter how much Verity deserved it.

She took a step closer to him. “Look. We told her we like to do it outside. When she gets here, let’s be ready. Right outside the door. We’ll be making out, she’ll get what she came for, and tomorrow we can file a protest with the council, because seriously, three a.m.? I need my beauty sleep.”

Marcus nodded abruptly. “Hold on,” he said.

He went back to the cabin and grabbed a blanket, which he spread carefully on the frost-rimed ground. Eileen wasn’t sure whether her breathlessness was from the sharpness of the night air or excitement as she stripped off her cozy pajamas and allowed the breeze to nip at her skin, raising goose bumps.

Marcus caught her eye as she started to fold the flannel top, and she grinned self-consciously and dropped it to the ground by the blanket.

We’re supposed to be getting caught in the throes of passion, she reminded herself.

She settled onto the blanket and shivered again as Marcus kneeled beside her, not from the night’s chill this time but from the heat radiating from his big, male body. They gazed at each other for a moment, and then Marcus reached out and gripped her shoulders gently in his large, rough-skinned hands.

He made her feel delicate, almost fragile in comparison to his size and strength, but she wasn’t the slightest bit afraid of him. Whatever he might think about himself, he made her feel safe. He leaned towards her slowly, his gaze fixed on her lips, his movements steady and careful as if she might startle and run.
