Chapter 21

They had finished off their lunch quietly, actually sharing it with the couple who, as it turned out, were staying at the Osprey Arms. Darby had been gracious, giving the couple all the right information they needed to plan a nature walk for the next day.

Sean had watched her carefully, the way her lips were slightly swollen from the kisses he had plied them with. She kept shooting him looks, under lowered eyelashes, so that he felt himself once again grow hard with desire. He even went into the water to cool off, but really because he couldn’t stand being so close to her without wanting to touch her, pull her into his arms, and hear her moan his name again.

The couple, Ann and Bob, were in no hurry to leave the cove, and so Darby had looked at her watch and said they had to be off, sending him an arch look that had him thinking about all kinds of possibilities.

They packed up everything, Darby only brushing against him one time, a subtle, seductive touch that had his skin flaming and his heart racing.

“You shouldn’t do that,” he murmured in her ear.

“Why not?” Her voice dripped innocence.

“Because if you keep doing that to me, I can’t be responsible for my actions, no matter who’s watching.”

Her lips quirked up and it was all he could do not to grab her and kiss her right there, but he was well aware of Ann’s interested eyes on them.

“Well, perhaps we better had go back to town and find someplace more secluded.”

“Lead the way, sugar.”

They paddled back. It felt hotter, and the breeze had died. “It does that toward the evening,” Darby said, explaining the lack of wind, as they dipped, switched, and dipped their paddles into the water.

He was enjoying this, the nice steady rhythm, the sounds of the water, the tangy smell of the salt.

“So how is it, city boy?”

“What makes you think I’m a city boy?”

She laughed easily. “The look of fear when I told you we were going in these little things. What did you think—I was going to borrow one of Chase’s yachts?”

“Does he have one?”

Darby shook her head. “A nice sleek sailboat, but it’s for racing, not pleasure. And I don’t think he would lend it to anyone. His brother has a nice little runabout but Jackson’s not around, so the boat’s not in the water.”

“I could get used to this. It’s sort of like riding a motorcycle in city traffic. You’re small, but fast,” Sean said, as a jet ski raced by.

“See, I knew you’d like it. Can’t beat being close to the water. Still, next time, we could try one of those.” She pointed toward the Jet Ski, and Sean admitted to himself that there was something exhilarating about the idea of speed.

They were also at the marina. Darby managed to land her kayak without a bump and leap gracefully onto the float. She pulled him up and he extricated himself, once again feeling his stomach drop as the float dipped beneath his weight.
