Faye rolled her eyes. "You're such a loser."
"And you're so hot in that."
She looked at him and found him staring at her, his eyes glinting as if he was some kind of a predator. Her face heated up and her jaw...

It has been an hour since Faye stepped on concrete and she still could not look at Nathan straight in the face. She thought that things would go back the way they were once they stepped back into civilization, but so far, her theory was proven wrong. Of course, she didn't believe that the village was enchanted or it had some magical thingamajig going on. That would just be preposterous! It was just that she just thought that normal surroundings would bring back what had been normal in their relationship.
As it was, she still couldn't help but feel heat rise up to her cheeks whenever she looked at him or when she felt him looking at her. It didn't help that her body reminded her of the sensations of the kiss they shared or of the dreams she had afterward.
Faye heard that some people could control where their dream was headed at certain points, but apparently, she wasn't among those especially gifted. In the three dreams she dreamt, she always ended up in Nathan's arms. She couldn't remember exactly what the dreams were - though she was sure she could remember a Bali setting in one of them - but she could not forget how they all ended and the...fluffy feeling that coursed through her each time before she was able to force herself to wake.
"Thank you so much again, Chinook," she finally said hoping to erase every thought of Nathan from her mind. Sure it was impossible with him walking beside her - and thank heavens they had their clothes on again - but she had to try. "I promise to visit when I can."
Beside her, Nathan seemed to stifle a chuckle before saying, "I'll make sure she does make time to visit. If not, I'll drag her here."
She whipped her head around to face him. "And what's that supposed to mean?" As soon as the words got out of her mouth, her face lit up to steel-melting temperatures and looked away again.
"We are only glad to help," Chinook said though Nathan silent chuckle. "You are welcome anytime." He stopped as the manager's secretary gave her and him envelopes. He stood up and smiled at them. "Good bye."
"Good bye." They said at the same time.
Inside the envelopes was a certificate entitling them to a two-month trip with a gift cheque worth $10,000 to be used anytime they were in the cruise ship should they decide to come back. Also in it were plane tickets though with different destinations.
"We apologize again for the inconvenience. We assure you, it will never happen again," the woman said. "And the dog will be sent back to his owner as you requested. Do you need anything else?" She cast a nervous look at Nathan who only shook his head prompting her to skit away as fast as she could with all the composure she had.
The woman's fear was not baseless. The moment they arrived at her desk, it was Faye who complained first, but when the secretary let them into the manager's office, it was Nathan who took control. His voice was calm and soft, but dangerous undertones lined his speech. His body language projected one who was not to be trifled with. But more importantly, Faye couldn't help but notice that whenever the manager tried to speak to her instead, his tone became more authoritative and Nathan would immediately jump in, his tones more ferocious but no less calm than before.
