interested in Chloe than in Seth’s story grudgingly made room for him.
Seth tried to tell his side of the story as briefly as he could. He gave the basic highlights, skimming quickly over how he had come over the hill to find the wrecked truck, and had climbed into the driver’s cab to cut Chloe’s seatbelt and help her out. As he talked, he found his gaze shifting again to Chloe. Their eyes locked, and he felt his heart beating faster. It was going to be a long winter if he had to constantly fight off this feeling.
He finished up his story as quickly as he could, and excused himself to his room. He glanced over his shoulder at the group one last time as he left the dining hall, and his eyes rested for a second on Chloe, whose face was lit up with a brilliant smile as she laughed at something one of the truckers had said. Seth pushed his way through the door, and tried unsuccessfully to wipe the image of her beautiful face from his mind.
“Why did you have to be so wonderful?” he said aloud to the empty hallway.
Seth made his way to his room, and tried to read one of the books that he had picked up in town that day. But he couldn’t focus on the words on the page. He finally gave up and tossed the book aside, staring up at the ceiling for several minutes before rolling out of his bed to head to the bathroom and get ready for bed. He took off all of his clothes, even his boxers, and pulled on a pair of black sweatpants. Despite the fierce snowstorm outside, which was supposed to last at least another day, the temperature in here was toastier than normal. Maybe someone had turned up the heat in anticipation of another temperature drop.
Seth brushed his teeth, avoiding glancing in the mirror so he wouldn’t have to see the scars covering his chest and stomach. He wasn’t in the mood to deal with those memories right now. He washed his face with the harsh hand soap the trucking company had provided, and thought briefly that he should get something specifically intended for face washing so it wouldn’t dry his skin out so much. He had thought about it while he was in town earlier, but he hadn’t felt like face wash was very masculine. He didn’t want to appear frou-frou. After all, he was a bear of a man. He had a reputation to uphold.
Seth towel dried his face and killed the lights in the bathroom before walking out to his tiny room and killing the lights in there as well. Just as he was about to lie down and try to go to sleep, he heard a soft knock at the door. It was so soft that he thought at first that he’d imagined it. But when it repeated again, he went to the door and cracked it open, allowing a small ray of light from the hallway to enter the room. To his surprise, Chloe was standing there. She was wearing a tight t-shirt and baggy sweatpants, and her hair hung in that same curly mess around her shoulders that had driven him crazy at the hospital earlier. She looked damn sexy. He felt himself growing hard, and he hid behind the door to hide his growing erection. She wasn’t looking at him, though. She was looking at the floor, not saying anything.
“Chloe?” Seth prompted. “What are you doing here?”
When Chloe did finally look up, Seth’s breath caught in his throat. It would have been impossible to miss the fire of passion blazing in her eyes.

Chloe forced herself to look up at Seth. She knew her eyes were going to give her away. She wanted him. She had spent the last twenty-four hours agonizing over how to make the feeling go away. Despite his unfriendly manner yesterday, she couldn’t keep herself from imagining what it would feel like to have his strong, sexy hands running across her body. She had imagined his lips on her lips, and the feel of his rough, scruffy beard against her face. And yes, she had imagined his dick inside of her. Of course, she had no idea what his dick actually looked like, but if it was anything like the rest of him, it was bound to be large and
