Abi watched with a mixture of thrill and some confusion as the strapping man removed his garments, one by one. What had she told him she would accept as payment for her self-portrait?

Ah, yes—a dance.

She immediately felt herself rouge from her forehead to her toes. “You want to dance now?” She stood motionless, the water falling perfectly still around her nude form. “L-like this?”

James lifted his shirt overhead. A broad, knotted chest with more muscles and scars than she could count met her face-on. Her breath lodged in her throat. He bore two enormous tattoos, one on his chest, just over his heart, of a great blue anchor, and the second, a fierce-looking swallow—if a swallow ever looked so fierce—on his right bicep, with jagged wings and blades for a beak.

Abi burned with fascination, but sheer nerves…and desire…overpowered any of her questions. The man stepped down the bank. As he waded into the water to be with her, she thought she might lose balance. The heat emanating from his skin was enough to match the sun. He approached her, their eyes fastened on one another. She sighed audibly when his hands met her bare waist, his fingers stroking circles over the flesh on the small of her back.

Abi slowly arched her neck. He began at the base of her throat, his hot, hungry mouth climbing incrementally, torturously. Against her legs, his own impossibly solid ones melded beneath the surface of the cool pool. Her pulse jumped so intently, she thought he would taste it.

Her frame went limp, allowing him to gather her in his mighty arms. She could have disappeared in a mist of bliss. Faintly, almost imperceptibly, he rocked her from side to side, his chest firm against hers, his lips playing at the tips of her ears.

When Abi had fancied her first real dance, she had never envisioned anything so erotic.

As he led her slowly through the water, a surge of inexplicable devotion sprung up within her. It was mindless, completely blind to circumstances, unconcerned with the past or future. It knew nothing but its own presence. And Abi was lost in it.

Why, she wanted no one other than him. And if she ever did leave the sea someday, if there was a way to pursue a whole new life, well, then she wanted to embark upon it with James Morrow for her partner. She longed to fill her days learning all there was to know about him, walking at his side and, when the sun went down, awaiting him in his bed.

She traced the inky anchor over his heart with a curious finger. Where scars nicked his shoulders, she bent her neck and kissed them. “James,” she whispered, her flesh alive beneath his roaming hands. “Do you think we can…?”

She couldn’t finish the question. To her surprise, he scooped her up and lifted her out of the pond. Normally, she’d have been cold from the shock of dry air on her dripping skin, but his taut embrace kept her positively feverish.
