Bree swallowed hard—the only boat she’d ever been on was the ferry, and this was so not the ferry.

She stood in between two steering wheels—why the heck there were two was a mystery. How many captains did it take to drive this boat anyway?

She wasn’t even sure what to call it exactly. A boat, a ship, a yacht? Whatever it was, she’d never seen anything like it before—well, except in pictures in fancy magazines or perfume ads with Greek gods wearing Speedos. She wondered what Storm would look like in one. She caught her breath when the picture became clear. But she needed to get her mind out of the Mediterranean gutter and back on the boat. “You want me to go down there?” Bree pointed a shaking hand to the entrance of the bowels of the boat.

“Yeah, I thought I’d give you the grand tour.”

She had a vague idea what the inside would look like from pictures, but she had always figured they’d been Photoshopped to keep it from looking like a tomb. She was a bit claustrophobic, and the thought of Storm sucking up all the oxygen in a confined space wasn’t helping matters either. “Thanks for the offer, but I don’t need a tour of your friend’s boat.” The boat was tied to the jetty, or dock, or whatever it was called, but the thing still moved—much more than she had expected it to. She grabbed the edge of the table.

Storm closed in on her and pried her fingers off. “Breezy, relax. What are you afraid of?”

“I’m not afraid.”

He gave her a don’t-bullshit-a-bullshitter look that he had down pat. She had every one of his looks catalogued. This one was straight out of her least-favorite file.

“I don’t like tight spaces.”

“You’re claustrophobic?”

“No…well, maybe a little.” Only with him—with him every room seemed to shrink, making everything feel tighter than usual—even her clothes.

“You have nothing to worry about. It’s really open and airy. It’s designed to look as if you’re not belowdecks.” He tugged on her hand and moved her in front of the doorway. “Just look inside; you’ll see.”

Bree ducked her head and caught her breath. “Look at all those windows.” They wrapped around the entire space above the walls.

“It’s called a windscreen.”

“Whatever.” She waved a hand at him, stepped onto the top step, and she could see forever. She’d expected the interior to be utilitarian, not opulent. She continued down, and did a slow turn, taking in the whole place. “Wow, it’s breathtaking.”

“Beautiful.”

Her stomach clenched when she realized Storm was staring at her, not the boat.

“This is the main salon.”

Built-in curved couches that probably sat ten people comfortably, and tables made of beautiful burr elm were scattered throughout. The interior was all soft, sensual curves, with a warm gold, royal blue, and cream color scheme. It was rich but homey, and there wasn’t one straight line in the joint. “It’s…comfortable—like a really nice apartment.”

“That’s what the owner was going for. The lower level has another salon, the galley, a nav station.
