“Um, Theron?”

I didn’t move an inch. In my chest, my heart raged a thunderous rhythm that would put the storm to shame.

“What?” My voice was husky.

“There’s a—I think you—um…” Her leg shifted slightly, and then I knewexactlywhat she was referring to.

My hard cock was pressed fully against her leg. It would be impossible for her not to feel how erect it was.

“Shit.”

She snorted. “Yeah.”

My eyes closed as my face heated with embarrassment. “It’s like you said, Eira. It means nothing. We’re both naked together. My body reacts in a certain way around naked women. That’s all.”

“Sure.” Her voice was full of amusement. I had the feeling she was trying very hard not to laugh.

Shivering bones, I wanted to disappear into the ground. No, I wanted the storm to blow away our coverings and dash me to pieces. I wanted the wind to carry me away into oblivion.

Eira giggled softly, then covered her mouth. “Okay,” she said between chuckles. “I think we’re even now.”

I groaned, turning my head away from her. “Just… try to get some rest, princess. It’ll be over soon.”

“Oh my. Howscandalous.”

The soft voice jolted me from sleep. I blinked, bleary-eyed, squinting against the morning light that suddenly seemed far too bright. How had I slept through the rising sun?

I yawned, trying to stretch my arms in the bed… only to realize I wasn’t in a bed at all.

Holy shit.In a rush, everything slammed into the forefront of my mind. The blizzard. The makeshift shelter. Cuddlingnakedwith Theron.

Theron.

Blood and ice.

My body was draped completely over his. I had one leg wrapped around his waist and was half straddling him. He was still asleep, one muscled arm wrapped tightly around me with my face buried in his firm chest.

Completely naked. We were bothcompletely naked.

And shivering bones, he was hard.Sovery hard. Just as hard as I’d felt him last night.

My face was on fire. I had to move. Had to get out beforehe woke up…

The voice from earlier snickered, and I glanced up, my heart racing.

Frisk and Kendra were peering at us through the shelter of branches Theron had made. Kendra looked shocked, but her wide blue eyes remained fixed on the pair of us tangled together as if she couldn’t possibly look away.

Frisk looked smug. And I had a feeling he would be torturing me about this for years to come.

“Damn it all, Frisk,look away!” I hissed, flapping my free hand at him frantically. “I’m not even dressed, you disgusting thing!”

Frisk huffed, clearly offended by this. “What? It’s not likeyoulook away when I’m not wearing anything.”

Theron grunted, his eyes flying open. His sleepy gaze shifted to me, and something warm stirred in the depths of his dark eyes.

Then, he uttered a strangled curse and wriggled away from me.

“Shit, shit,shit.”
