“It’s okay to change your mind,” he said behind her after a bit.
“I… I don’t. Change my mind.” She waited in the sudden silence, confusion creeping in as she vaguely realized the blizzard seemed to be over.
“Do you not want to feel my flesh with yours?”
Her breath held, realizing, then flew right out. “You… want me… to…”
“Take off your clothes,” he said, his voice a combination of sexy low and soft at the same time.
She considered what she was wearing, her heart a furious hammer now. “Have you never seen the makings of an Amish dress? It’s like a chastity belt in drape form.”
His deep laugh went off in her blood like fireworks. “May I help?”
“Oh God,” she couldn’t keep from blurting.
“No?”
“I… I’m just very uh… what’s the word.”
“Modest?”
Modest. God, no. “Terrified.”
“Of what?” he asked, his voicetender with the hint of worry.
“Not of you, of… what… I don’t know what I’m saying, it’s not like there’s a light shining down on every imperfection.”
She lay there in the sudden silence, worried with what he was thinking. “There could be,” he said quietly.
Her eyes widened. “Could be what?”
“Light.”
“No!” she cried quietly.
“Why?” Amusement colored the word.
“I just said why!”
“You think you have imperfections?”
“I bloody know I do! Nobody is perfect.”
“I think you may be delusional.”
“What does light have to do with warming? Flesh to flesh?”
“Nothing. Until you mentioned it. Now I can’t stop thinking about seeing you.”
Her face contorted with the cringing horror of him seeing her naked. She wasn’t a square, but she wasn’t exactly voluptuous. She certainly wasn’t his equal, that was for bloody sure. And yet he wanted to see her, damn him! “You’ll surely need a light tobreak me out of this fabric prison,” she realized.
“Is that a yes?”
She sputtered all about before managing, “Well, I suppose it is,” as she sat up.
She forgot all about shame when the light rose from the lantern, filling her eyes with his massively huge body and penis. Then he turned on his knees toward her and it was just a massive penis. Getting closer.
“What do you think?” he asked when he knelt just before her.
