With\u00adout pause, he cov\u00adered the dis\u00adtance between them with two steps. He stud\u00adied her upturned face for only a&nbsp;heart\u00adbeat before he pulled her by the shoul\u00adders against his body, crush\u00ading the sheet between them. Her damp shirt had chilled her chest, which only empha\u00adsized his warmth.<\/p>\n<p>Stunned, she blinked a&nbsp;few times to cen\u00adter her\u00adself. Yes, a&nbsp;man\u2019s body pressed against her, the for\u00adeign scent of tobac\u00adco and cof\u00adfee fur\u00adther evi\u00addence that this was indeed happening.<\/p>\n<p>She gripped his shirt\u00adsleeves to keep from melt\u00ading into the grav\u00adel.

Some\u00adthing inex\u00adplic\u00ada\u00adble tried to draw her out. Some\u00adthing in this assault enticed her to par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpate. She fought the temp\u00adta\u00adtion. She wouldn\u2019t relax; she couldn\u2019t embrace this. It would turn ugly at any moment. Although, for some rea\u00adson she couldn\u2019t fath\u00adom, her hands weren\u2019t restrained in any way. Still, she wouldn\u2019t even think about push\u00ading him away. It was safer that way. She wouldn\u2019t want to anger him. And there was some\u00adthing about the pres\u00adsure of his fin\u00adgers against her, the way he caressed with\u00adout mov\u00ading, that intrigued more than fright\u00adened&nbsp;her.<\/p>\n<p>Cody dipped his head, only to brush his lips against her ear. \u201cMy name is&nbsp;Cody\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Okay, since this book is set in Wyoming, imag\u00adine those sheets on the line blow\u00ading and whip\u00adping around until they\u2019re shred\u00added, and these two yelling to be heard over the roar and squint\u00ading against the dust that\u2019s fly\u00ading\u2026 Oh\u2026sorry\u2026that\u2019s not very roman\u00adtic.
