And that was the problem of it, Orion did want her, possibly because she was beautiful and possibly because she hadn't had sex in four months. The last time someone had touched her, it had been a female drifter who'd left the area after they'd had a couple of nights together. The hunter had woken up alone with no knowledge of where the other woman had gone. It was why she'd shied away from physical contact for so long.
But it presented a dilemma. Torn between physical desire and the urge to be gallant, Orion didn't care that Hagar wasn't twenty anymore. To see her naked had her blushing more hotly than she ever had before, most likely, and her hands fluttered helplessly in the air. "I-I-I-I want you," she admitted, and kicked herself because her hands were on their way to unfasten her belt. It didn't mean it had to be a quick fuck. She didn't have to break her entire promise to Hope.
Her legs were strong from years of keeping in shape, and the air in the room was cool on her bare thighs. She kicked her shoes off as well as he pants, then stood there in her shirt with chill bumps breaking out on her legs. She felt shyer and more awkward than ever, but the sight of Hagar's naked body was still heating her cheeks.
"You're so beautiful," she murmured, then closed the distance between them to cup one small breast in her left hand. "I mean it, you're lovely."
