and then slipped easily upward, seeking out the silk covering her breast. The pleasure and arousal was overwhelming as she pulled away to look into Devon’s eyes once more.
Devon hungrily pulled Elaine back to her again for another kiss. Surprised at her own aggression, she stroked her tongue against Elaine’s, first firmly and then playfully suggesting just how talented and agile it would be on other parts of her body. Had she ever been this aroused, this wet, from a kiss?
Elaine finally managed to release Devon. She stepped back, trying to look like she had some semblance of control. What the hell just happened? “I guess I should be going. I have ranger duties to attend to. Be careful and have a safe night. If you need me, you know where to find me.”
Devon’s lips were swollen and the ache between her thighs begged for release. She could still feel the heat from Elaine’s hands on her body. She knew that if the kiss had continued she would not have been able to stop herself from giving into the passion she felt. The word “no” would not have been anywhere in her vocabulary. Now Elaine was strolling off as if nothing of import had happened. She stepped out of Devon’s arms as quickly as she stepped into them and with ease it seemed.
Elaine disappeared into the forest without a backward glance. One thing is for sure, that woman can kiss! Devon stood there for a while longer trying to steady her weak legs, ultimately deciding that if she threw herself back into her work she might be able to forget about what had just happened. Yeah right!
Chapter 7
By the time Elaine reached her cabin it was clear the predicted snowstorm was going to be a reality. Late season snow could be some of the most hazardous—quick, wet and far colder than people were prepared for. She got the latest report from Brad, who had been getting regular updates from the National Weather Service. Rapidly falling temperatures overnight, flurries by midday and heavier snowfall by early evening that could last from thirty-six to forty-eight hours. After sharing a few administrative details, she thanked Brad for the report and went out on the deck. It was cold and she pulled her jacket closed around her.
The sky was clear and the stars were out. She shivered slightly. She didn’t really believe that it was just the night air giving her the chills. She wanted to see Devon again. She wasn’t sure what had caused her to lose her inhibitions and kiss her, but now she was unsure as to what to say or do when she saw Devon next. It hadn’t all been one-sided. Devon had definitely kissed her back.
She sighed, watching her breath form clouds in the air. Yes, she wanted to see Devon again, but she wasn’t sure it would be a good idea. She needed to warn Devon that the approaching snow would probably be worse than she anticipated. She had made it clear that she was expecting the storm and was prepared for it, but Elaine couldn’t in good conscience ignore her duties because of personal reasons—reasons she created. On the heels of that thought was the realization that Devon might pack it in and head home after considering how the likely snow levels would hamper her work for the next week. She didn’t want to consider why that thought was so unsettling.
The following afternoon, Elaine leaned against a tree, silently watching as Devon worked. She knew that she probably should have alerted Devon to her presence immediately, but she couldn’t bring herself to say anything. Devon was bent over foliage, taking photographs. Her jeans clung to her body perfectly. When she stood up, Elaine’s mouth went dry at the sight of the fleece molding to Devon’s breasts. She was thankful for the tree’s support.
Devon had felt the change in temperature, but ignored it as she photographed the brush growing on the river bank. She had a few more minutes of good light before shade once again spread over the foliage and she needed to take as many shots as
