A powerful man on the phone arranges immediate help for her injured companion, David, while he carries Oriel to a bath. Amid fear and embarrassment, Oriel recounts being thrown into floodwaters, searching for David, and finding him unconscious with a broken leg.","CHAPTER ONE  \nORIEL RADFORD huddled into a chair; outside the world was drenched, battered by a cyclonic storm all the way from the tropics, but inside it was warm and dry. Her exhausted eyes surveyed what the housekeeper had called the morning-room. A somewhat old-fashioned term, she thought vaguely, for a comfortable, very pleasant living-room.  \nEven with a blanket slung around her shoulders she was unable torepress the shivers that racked her long body. Muddy water dripped from lank black curls on to the towel around her neck, she knew her lips were blue, and every bone in her body ached with deep-seated persistence. Thin fingers trembled as they gingerly explored one high cheekbone, and she winced at the swelling; she hesitated, then as carefully as she could investigated her throbbing temple. The same rock had bruised both her cheekbone and the side of her head; she had hit it when she had fallen into a hole as she forced her way through bush towards the beach.  \nA pale attempt at a smile touched her wide, soft mouth. Clumsy, her mother was always saying.  \nShe had read somewhere that the body could only cope with so much pain; after a certain amount no more was felt. Clearly she hadn’t yet got  \nthere. Without even trying she could feel her foot, a sullen ache that peaked in a distinct sharp crescendo every time she moved it.  \nNot too far away a deep masculine voice with an in-built note of authority spoke incisively into a telephone. She lifted heavy eyelids and stared across the shadowed room. He was big, about six feet three, she estimated now, and very powerful. Oriel knew just how strong he was, for when she had collapsed in front of him on the beach about ten minutes ago those strong arms had lifted her and without any visible effort carried her into the house.  \nAnother rigour shook her thin frame. His voice came nearer.‘Right,’he said crisply.‘That’s Civil Defence informed, they’ll organise a helicopter to get your companion out. Now, I’ll carry you up to the bath my housekeeper should have ready for you.’  \n‘Will they know where David is?’  \nHe bent to pick her up, ignoring her tiny involuntary flinch.‘Yes, your directions were very explicit, and the pilot knows the Bay Iike his own backyard.’  \nNumbly, she nodded. ‘I hope they find him soon.’ The heavy lids, that even when she was wide awake and alert gave her a disconcertingly sulky air, drooped over her slanting, lack-lustre eyes, their normally dense blue washed almost completely from them.  \nShe hadn’t been embarrassed when he’d carried her into the house, but she was now. In spite of her effort to appear calm and collected, her stiff body betrayed her inner uneasiness. Somehow, in some dim region of herself that still functioned in spite of her weariness, the first faint tendrils of fear uncurled. Ludicrous though it was, she felt threatened.  \nHe negotiated the door with a lithe grace that seemed unusual for such a big man, but again, there were no signs of undue exertion. Such strength was somehow unnerving.  \nThe muscles of his big body bunched and flowed against her. She was too aware of a faint scent teasing her nostrils. The secret, intimate perfume of masculinity, she deduced, arousing and endlessly fascinating. It was blatant sexual magnetism, almost entirely dependent on the senses, scent, the fine-grained texture of a man’s skin, the smooth play of muscles…  \nA pulse beat like a trip-hammer in her throat as her body clenched in response to the hidden, subliminal signals.  \n‘Sorry,’ he said.‘Did I hurt you?’  \nHer eyes recoiled from the hard angularity of his features.‘No, not at all,’ she said inanely, then added in a little rush. ‘I don’t really need to have a bath here, I can wait until the helicopter arrives.’  \n‘The chopper isn't going to arrive. It’s too close to dusk to anything but the most necessary trips now. Your companion is necessary, you are not.  \nPossibly tomorrow, when the floods go down.’‘Perhaps I could get a lift-’  \nHe shook","cbCaidRDPQ5dgtxm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidRDPQ5dgtxm","pdf",511540,7,179,"English","en",105,"# Chapter One\n## Storm and arrival in the house\n## Conversation about Civil Defence and rescue\n## Oriel's injuries and account of David","[{\"question\":\"Who is Oriel Radford and what happens to her during the storm?\",\"answer\":\"Oriel shelters indoors after being injured in the aftermath of a cyclonic storm.
