The intensity of the orgasm drained her as if she was at last letting go of some of the stress of the past years. She didn’t say anything, but lay there enjoying the closeness of two people who have been totally connected. What would she say anyway? They were just strangers looking for comfort in each other’s bodies. Words might spoil everything.
    “If spraining my ankle brought me this, I’m so glad of the pain I went through this afternoon.”
    Cassi looked up and smiled as he leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips. When they broke apart, he dealt with the condom and she snuggled up to him.
    She wanted to say something. “I know it doesn’t matter what you think of me, but I don’t sleep around. I think it’s the thought of being strangers and not seeing each other again that made it exciting and acceptable in a crazy way.”
    He put his hand to her cheek and shook his head as if to stop her talking. “I don’t know why you’ve been so wonderful to me since finding a fool on the trail, but sex with you was incredible. The way you moved on me sent me over the edge.”
    “It was pretty good, wasn’t it?” Cassi yawned and Declan did as well. It had been a long day and had not gone the way she expected. When all was said and done, she’d gotten what she needed. Maybe now she could go on with her life again and not be afraid all the time. She might even let someone back into her heart in the future. It would have been nice if it could have been the gorgeous Declan, but that would be too complicated. His breathing deepened as he drifted off to sleep. It was nice to share a bed with someone after all this time. His bad leg was up on a pillow, but his other one was bent toward her as his arm draped over her waist and his hand cupped her breast. This was the perfect way to go to sleep.

    Cassi pulled the arm tighter around her waist as she tried to get more heat from the body cradled up against her back. Fear ran through her as she came awake, fully realizing she was not in bed on her own. Her body reacted without thinking as she flayed out with arms and legs.
    His legs moved and there was a groan from behind her as her foot connected with his leg. Declan. She was in the cabin.
    “You okay? You jumped like the thunder and lightning came back.”
    “I’m fine. I’m sorry, did I hurt your foot?” He was smiling and those wonderful eyes could draw her in. She went from fear to being tempted to lose herself in his body all over again.
    “It’s good. You look pretty damn hot with the sun coming up, you know.”
    She never went hunting for praise, but it felt good when a handsome guy said she looked hot first thing in the morning.
    Declan leaned forward and kissed her, and she could feel the heat building between her legs again as she remembered the night before. His cell phone rang. The outside world was back in contact and this interlude, though great, was over.

Chapter Two
     
    Tony said the helicopter was on its way, and for once, Declan damn well wished his manager wasn’t so well organized. Declan’s foot was still swollen and sore, but he would have been more than glad to stay in bed all morning, or all day with Cassi. He got the distinct impression this was just an interlude for her that would not be repeated. They’d enjoyed great sex, but she was a closed book. He couldn’t blame her. She didn’t know him and being a TV star didn’t seem to hold much weight. It was refreshing and frustrating.
    He watched her as she made the bed. Standing at the door of the bedroom, he looked at the smooth sheets and could almost believe it hadn’t happened. No, that was some of the best fucking sex ever, and he had definitely not imagined it. She moved and did things to his dick he wanted to experience again. He didn’t like to think he wouldn’t have her mouth on him once more, and he was getting hard just thinking about it.
    Since the crap that went down with Julie, he’d only done one-night
