       ‘You feel naked?’ Talos asked evenly.

      He, more than anyone, knew how the imagination could run amok—how the fear of the unknown could be so much worse than reality. He also knew how he could help Amalie take the first step to overcome it.

      ‘Yes,’ she whispered.

      The strange distance Amalie had seen settle over him dissipated. His attention on her was focused and strong.

      ‘Then there is only one solution. You must be naked.’

      ‘What …?’

      But her solitary word hardly made it past her vocal cords. Talos had leant forward and pulled his shoes and socks off.

       What was he doing?

      His hands went to his shirt. Before she could comprehend what she was seeing, he’d deftly undone all the buttons.

      ‘What are you doing?’

      He got to his feet.

      If she hadn’t already pressed herself against the wall she would have taken a step back. She would have turned and run.

      But there was nowhere for her to run to—not without getting past him first.
