so thoughtful.” Peggy clicked it on, before walking working back down the corridor, “The only other emergency I want to do is climb into bed. Tomorrow, is going to be a long, hectic day dealing with frayed nerves and itty bitty owies.”
Carmen watched the medic disappear around the corner. She suddenly felt the urge to head towards one of the pass through areas between the cars. Like American trains, the passage was enclosed in an accordion like material keeping the elements at bay. Carmen found it almost impossible to navigate in the red glow of emergency lights. She and resorted to feeling her way to the end of the car. Thankfully, most everyone had vacated the chilly area in favor of more visible places. From her walk to her own room when she arrived on board, she knew these pass throughs were larger than the ones she was used to.
The pitch darkness surrounded her the moment she stepped through the door . Oh geeze. You’d think they’d add running lights down here as well, but oh no . Carmen took small steps into the darkness, a hand out in front of her for safety. After a moment, her hand encountered something very solid covered with what felt like silk. Startled, she took a couple steps backwards and turned to where she knew the door was. Before she could take more than a step, someone touched her shoulder, a warmth radiated from the contact, causing her to trip over her own feet.
Before Carmen could do so much as squeak, someone reached for her, grabbing her around her waist pulling her back against a hard, extremely well muscled body. A soft Highland burr whispered in her ear, “Fear not, lady.” His lips moved just underneath her ear, into her neck.“I mean no harm. A moment’s peace is all I seek from this train ride and its inhabitants.”
Carmen’s shivered slightly , as pleasure vibrated across her skin. She could feel his lips against her skin. She reached back and cupped his check with her hand, startling herself. What the hell. Her body reacted to the closeness of this stranger, No one’s going to know and it’s been too damned long.
“ I actually wanted to relax. I couldn’t sleep.” She whispered.
Suddenly, the train lurched forward, pressing Carmen against the cold steel wall in front of her. Seconds later, another jolt and the mysterious man was thrown against her back. The heat of his body combined with the chill of the metal, heightened her sensations as she tried to brace herself. To protect her from any more unexpected jolts, he wrapped his arms around her. As he did so, his hands inadvertently found out she wore absolutely nothing underneath the t-shirt she had on. A soft growl from her mystery man caused her to have goose bumps.
Turning in his arms, Carmen caught the barest hint of a luminescent flicker in the darkness before a pair of incredibly soft lips captured hers. Any thoughts she may have had about leaving flew out the window when he moved his body closer to hers, proving the sexual attraction was mutual. His hands cupped her face, sparking new heat which blossomed through her body, forcing her to groan. As he shifted closer, his lips opened and the tip of his tongue lightly teased her lips.
Suddenly, the lights began to flicker and the train rocked violently, then began to move. They were both flung against the far wall with Carmen landing on him with a soft ‘oof’. Seconds later a voice spoke over the intercom, making them jump. “Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for the sudden stop which delayed our journey. The problem has been taken care of and now we’re we are under way once more. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. Have a nice night.”
The lights began to grow in illumination, making Carmen blush and covered her face with her hand. “I’m sorry.” she sighed. To her surprise, one of the doors open and shut, leaving her alone in the space. He had moved away silent as a shadow before she could say anything.
“ Oh great. I
