No. Landon had explained how he would wrap his arms around her knees and lift her up. He was strong enough to do so effortlessly, but she still wasn’t comfortable with being lifted off the ground in the total darkness. “I’m ready.” She tried to sound nonchalant, but her voice came out thin. Holding her hand, he picked his way through the blackness, then stopped when his boot crunched on the charred wood remnants from their fire. She heard him move behind her, the heat from his body pulsed against her back, and the tiny hairs on her arms and the back of her neck twitched and tingled. Perhaps this wasn’t the best idea after all. She trembled slightly, but managed to remain mute as his hands moved down her ribs, over her hips. Keelan wasn’t about to give Landon the satisfaction of knowing how his touch affected her, or a reason to mock her for chastising him for it. She'd had enough for one day. His hands continued down the outside of her thighs with agonizing slowness. She tensed in response, about to lose the fight to remain silent.
