As she packed up her things to leave, Rachel couldn't help but wonder if she'd ever see Max again. But one thing was certain - she'd never forget the night she succumbed to cabin fever, and the rugged, handsome stranger who had been her partner in pleasure.
The next morning, Rachel woke to find a severe snowstorm had rolled in. The windows were frosted over, and the fire had burned down to embers. She spent the day huddled under a blanket, trying to distract herself with a book.
As the storm raged on outside, Rachel and Max gave in to their cabin fever, surrendering to a night of passion and desire. It was a night that would change her, one that would stay with her long after she left the cabin behind.
As night began to fall, Rachel heard a strange noise outside. At first, she thought it was just the wind, but then she heard it again - a low, scratching sound. Her heart racing, she crept to the window and peered out into the darkness.
As the stranger stumbled inside, Rachel was struck by his raw, animalistic beauty. He was rough around the edges, but there was something undeniably attractive about him. As they huddled together by the fire, Rachel found herself succumbing to his charms.
