"Though you do look very good naked," Russell grinned. "Dig yourself a grave? Nonsense. You can stay at the cabin. There's a finished room in the basement with a bed and no windows, you're welcome to sleep there during the day. You can have your man drop off your clothes and they'll be waiting for you to rise tomorrow night." Though he was not in any hurry to move, he did quite like being cuddled up with Carrick this way.
Unfortunately, Russell was as attuned to the time of night as Carrick was. The dawn was coming and if they didn't hurry, they wouldn't make it back to the cabin by the time the sun started to rise over the hills.
"Come on, we should get moving." He disentangled himself from Carrick reluctantly and got to his feet.
