As night fell over the gorge, Kamal led Asad along the trail back to the encampment, his skin bristling from his second cold swim of the day, after yet another hard ride through the canyon to try and alleviate at least some of the sexual frustration that had been threatening to blow his careful plans to have Kaliah come to him for three endless days now... And even more endless nights.

How much longer is she going to ignore me and the incessant heat between us?

The heat he’d been able to see in the flush of her skin as she’d sat across the fire from him and eaten the food he had made for her wearing a sour, angry expression on her face.

He had spent the last two days venturing further and further away from the camp on Asad so he would not have to spend time close to her. And had forced himself to trust she would not try to leave again after he had tracked her to the edge of the canyon yesterday. He had been prepared to follow her into the desert, if she tried to cross the deadly terrain.

The desire to glide his fingers over the swell of her breasts, pluck those responsive nipples, nibble across her collarbone and make her beg was something he was becoming increasingly concerned was liable to drive him wild.

He huffed out a breath, the heat pumping back into his groin.

Damn. Stop thinking about the scent and texture of her skin and the soft sobs which drove you mad on that one night with her in your arms or you will need yet another cold swim.

Asad snorted as they entered the camp. Kamal tied him alongside Ashreen in the corral. He patted the mare’s back, surprised to see new feed had been added to her bag and the stall had recently been mucked out.

A small smile creased his lips.
