CHAPTER FIVE

DANIEL found it exciting simply having her walking beside him, climbing the hill together, ostensibly to their cabins. But they were climbing other hills in his mind. Many other hills, with peaks he wanted to reach. With her.

Once she stopped lying.

Didn’t she realise it was holding them back? One bold step from her, and they could be past that hump and travelling down the road of truth. He ached for the chance to experience the kind of communication where there were no secrets, no need to suppress anything, no false images. He longed for an honesty that generated mutual trust, where revealing one’s true self was not a fear but a joyous freedom, where knowledge of each other was not a weapon but a shared pleasure.

What would it take to pull her over the line she’d drawn in her mind? To make her open up to him? Open in every sense. Daniel felt his loins tighten. She was so infinitely desirable.

The white pants-suit flowed around her, clinging and floating, tantalisingly modest and seductive. Her hair leapt into a froth of flame under every light they passed. In every way she was an enthralling embodiment of fire and ice. He’d never wanted a woman as much. He’d thought what he craved was unattainable, but Annabel Parker held the promise of it. He could feel it...just out of reach.
