Cecilia had always thought that small backpacks on large men looked silly, but with Charlie she found that to be completely untrue. Her backpack had never looked better than it did resting against his broad back, moving against the muscles that rippled under that taut skin. As the forest narrowed in on the path, she drew closer to him.
She nearly swooned when he held his hand out to her. As an Herbologist she was used to taking care of herself, to navigating often very difficult terrains, but Charlie obviously being the perfect gentleman that he was, not only carried her backpack but also wanted to help her across the unsteady ground. “Maybe nothing to a big, strong man like yourself,” she chirped and took his hand. It was large and warm and calloused and gentle, and Cecilia sighed when he closed his fingers around her hand. “But it’s a big help for me and it-“ She had been about to explain to him how much it meant to her that he did this for her, when her foot slipped on the unsteady rocks, making her hold on his hand tighten, as she swung her free arm to regain her balance, only finding it when she caught hold of his arm. “Wow,” she breathed, he really was strong, at least if the muscles under her fingers were anything to go by.
