married and engaged.”
“I see.” Everest backed farther away from her. His eyes glowed with a fiery light.
“There is one more thing,” Chloe said as he pulled away from her. Her lips still ached from his kisses and her loins trembled with such intensity that she was shocked by her own wantonness. “I told Grandpa we were married and he told a waitress named Gladys. I think that she told the rest of the town. I didn’t mean for that to happen, but it was the only way I could get Grandpa to take me up here.”
Everest groaned, suddenly glad to have another reason to be angry with her. It would keep him from pulling another man’s woman into his arms.
“I’m sorry.” Chloe made a move to touch him, hoping he would kiss her again. Lowly, she murmured, “I’ll do whatever it takes to make it right.”
“I’ll talk to him. You’ve done enough.” He jerked away from her hand, sore at having to deny his passion. He knew he would have to service himself if he were to ever get to sleep that night. “Grandpa is in the spare room. You can have my bed. I’ll sleep in here.”
Chloe began to protest, but was cut off by his hard frown.
“I’ll not have you accusing me again of being a bad host.” Everest turned his cool gaze toward her, effectively ending the conversation. “I’ll go over and sign your papers first thing in the morning. I trust you brought me a copy of everything.”
“Yes... fine... perfect,” Chloe stuttered in response.
“Good.” He ushered her to his bedroom, saying, “There’s a shirt on that chair if you need something to sleep in. No one will bother you here so feel free to make yourself comfortable.”
Chloe nodded in understanding. As he shut the door behind her with a heavy thud, she sighed in frustration. What just happened?
Crossing over to the chair, she lifted his shirt from the top of a neatly folded pile of fresh laundry. Unable to resist, she pressed the shirt to her nose and breathed deeply of its earthy scent. Gliding the shirt down her throat, she lightly ran the cloth over her swollen breasts to the throbbing ache of her lower stomach. Her body burned, stinging with a fierce need to be fulfilled. She shivered uncontrollably.
Stripping quickly out of her clothing, she crawled into his bed wearing only her bra and panties. His scent overwhelmed her as she lay in his blankets, hugging his shirt to her chest. The smell only tortured her more until her loins melted with an insistent fire. Knowing she would never fall asleep with such torments flowing in her veins, she quietly lowered her hand over her flat stomach to reach inside her lacy panties.
Taking his shirt, she bit into the soft material to keep from crying out. With painstakingly slow movements so the bed would not squeak, she stroked her fire until the throbbing transformed into trembling liberation. Muffling her cry into his shirt, her eyes closed and she saw Everest’s handsome face thrusting before her. Her lips moved, remembering his hot kisses. Her hips jerked in bittersweet release, aching in denial of full gratification.
With a cry, she pulled the shirt from her lips and ran it to cover her stomach. Holding her breath, her body ached for Everest’s hold, but she refused to seek him out. She didn’t know what was happening between them and she wasn’t planning on staying around long enough to find out.
Chapter Ten
C hloe had a hard time sleeping in his home. The outside was too quiet compared to the noisy lullaby of the city streets. The only consistent sound she could detect was the faint hum of insects and not too many of those. Sometime in the night hours she thought she heard a howling wolf outside the bedroom window. She’d been convinced for about an hour that it was going to get into the house and eat her.
Everest’s kiss had left her with a longing so intense that it shook her to the core. The large bed smelled of his virile mountain scent, of outdoors and fresh air, of pine trees
