Flynn angled his unsettling, sharp gaze to mine. This was the closest I’d gotten to him, and his eyes were like none I’d ever seen. The blue was encircled with a dark rim, almost as if an artist had shaded charcoal around the edges. “It’s definitely nice,” he commented.
“Nice?”
He shrugged. “Okay, beautiful.”
The tiny hitch at one corner of his lips was enough to send my belly spinning in flips. Oh. My. God. If this man ever graced me with a full smile, I’d probably climb him like a freaking tree.

In my rush, the heel of my boot caught on a piece of gravel. I kicked it aside and stumbled slightly when I reached him. Flynn reached out to steady me, his free hand curling around my arm. His touch felt like a hot brand, and heat rushed through me.
“Have you forgotten you’re covered in mud?” he asked, one side of his mouth tilting up in the slightest hint of a grin.
Oh, God. My body couldn’t deal with any smiles from him, and I definitely couldn’t handle him touching me. I swallowed as I tried to catch a breath. Although we were in rarefied mountain air, it suddenly seemed in short supply.
