Brody

Brody and Kate seemed to tactfully agree without speaking that it was time to leave the water. The tension in the air was palpable as if Brody could reach up and hold onto it with one hand.

Turning, Brody gave Kate privacy to climb out of the water and get her clothes on. He had kept his distance in the water because he wasn’t sure what he would try to do.

Her long, dark hair flowed out behind her in the glassy water and he’d wanted to run his fingers through the silky strands.

The woman drove him insane. She didn’t bow to his every wish and demand and she didn’t treat him like a king. Definitely not what he was used to. She was interesting and she’d been rash. He hadn’t really been disappointed, but the way she continually pushed at him, Brody wasn’t certain she wasn’t just playing hard to get.

Could anyone really be that obstinate? They could if they had a goal as important as hers.

Or his.

Kate walked toward the house, the sound of her moving through the grass reached Brody in the water.

He took a deep breath and looked over his shoulder to make sure she was gone. He climbed from the water, his briefs snug to his skin. Sluicing off as much water as possible, he soaked up some of the sun’s rays. He didn’t want to follow her back too closely. He needed some space between he and her.

As he got dressed, Brody tried to blink the image of Kate shedding her clothes from his memory. She hadn’t been in the right frame of mind to consent to him looking at her like he wanted to. He’d averted his eyes, when he saw her clothes coming off. Of course, he found her attractive, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. No, she was more to him already than the women he’d brought home previously.

Most of those women had been to shock his mother. Well, his mom wasn’t home now and Kate wouldn’t shock Pamela Hart one bit. Maybe the fact that Kate wasn’t his type Pamela would be a little put off, but Brody didn’t know what his type was himself. Not when he’d been unhappy and unsatisfied with the women he’d been with before.

No. The way Kate made him feel was challenged, invigorated, and like he wanted more when he’d only had a small taste of being around her.

The glimpse he’d gotten of a creamy, smooth shoulder and the curve of her calf was distracting enough. He blinked again to get the image from the forefront of his mind.

As he pulled on his boots and ambled toward the house, Brody had to take a good, hard look at himself.

What was he doing? He was acting like she really mattered. To him. Like what she thought and felt actually could affect him.

Dang it. Did Brody want a chance with her? Did he actually want to see if there was a possibility there?

Brody stopped mid-stride, dropping his hands to his sides.
