DAMN, he did sound pathetic.

And he’d opened his heart to her. Too late, the maneuver couldn’t be recalled, he’d committed, and now she knew what he hid from the world, but he could be safe in the knowledge that she didn’t know everything, and it would stay that way. He couldn’t afford to completely open up to a woman with whom he probably had no future in Hawaii. So why did he even bother telling her so much when she’d touched a raw nerve?She was so genuine, and he hadn’t met that in a long time. There was comfort in knowing that she understood his pain. Now she also knew that he had idolized her father.

“There’s nothing wrong with hero-worship. You wouldn’t be the only guy I was with who wanted to meet my father. Sometimes that’s the only reason they sought me out. Kinda hurt my ego a few times.”

“I didn’t mean that I…”

“Oh, I know that. I didn’t mean to imply that’s why you’re hanging out with me.”

“Good. Because it isn’t. Don’t mention my hero-worship to your father, though, okay?”

“I think he’ll get it when you ask him to sign that poster you’ve been saving in shrink wrap on the off chance you’d get an opportunity to actually meet him.”

“And where’s the poster you have of me in shrink wrap?”

She laughed. “Touché. It’s home on my bedroom wall so I can look at you. Drea’s the one with the shrink wrap.”

“And what about Laci?”

“Laci would never admit that she hero-worships anyone. It might ruin her bad-girl reputation.”

He laughed. “Why don’t you hop in my Jeep and relax while I pick up the rest of this and lock up. Do you have time to come back tomorrow and do some more work on the board? We can get the rails done and then there’s not much to do after that. We could get resin on it by tomorrow or the next day.”

“I’ll make time. I enjoyed working on my own board.”

She had enjoyed watching him. He could tell. Her eyes had followed his movements, her lips parting as if she was imagining how his hands would feel on her. He shook off that thought. They were going to remain platonic. It was the way she wanted it.

He had to admit that she did make him crazy and a bit nervous.

She nodded and left his workshop. Zack picked up, having a hard time keeping his mind on the tasks when all he wanted to do was rush to his car, slide his hand around the nape of her neck and draw her mouth to his.

After he’d turned off the lights and closed both doors, he started to head back to the front of his house and the Jeep, but stopped dead. She was standing on the beach, the T-shirt discarded, her shorts around her ankles. She was wearing a barely there bikini, her lustrous skin shining like diamonds in the moonlight.

His feet started to move, and just as they touched the sand, she ran to the waves and launched herself into the water.
