CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The forty-three-foot fishing boat slapped through the choppy waters, causing Mark to breathe in deep through his nose for another gulp of fresh air. He wasn’t normally prone to seasickness, but after the last couple hours of the constant up and down, he was beginning to worry he wasn’t immune, either.

Eyeing the rest of the men in the boat’s cabin added no reassurance that he wouldn’t succumb. All of them, with the exception of Rob, were some varying shade of green. Rob looked his usual self, and was busy regaling the group with stories from his and Penelope’s fishing trip in Canada earlier in the spring. Rob had gone out with a group of locals for some ice fishing.

Mark loosened his fingers around the bar above his head and then closed them more securely, getting a firmer grip on the metal. He stood just outside the cabin, leaning back against the bait well they’d loaded up before daylight as they’d headed out for their all-day excursion.

The charter was owned by the same company that owned the ferries, all a part of Andie’s friend Ginger’s business. But what had shocked him wasn’t seeing Andie board with them that morning but watching Ginger take the captain’s seat.

It had to be rough on the green crowd inside to watch the two women at the helm, seemingly suffering no ill effects, and to know that the women were “tougher” than the men.

To Mark it was pretty hot, actually.

As was Andie, in general.

Mark shifted his gaze to watch her where she stood next to Ginger, her back to the front window and facing the crowd of men. She wore pressed capris in a light olive-green color and a simple white button-down shirt. She looked utilitarian yet comfortable. But the way she had her hair tied back in two low ponytails, each twisted off with a long orange ribbon, reminded him that she had that slight edge about her. She was cute yet professional. Fun. Her casual flair made him wonder what kind of underwear she wore beneath.

He’d tried to catch her alone that morning, but she’d avoided him at every turn.

But he had caught her looking more than once.

Each time her gaze found him had been like a lit match touching his skin. A sharp jab with a hot poker, then the shock of a live wire streaking through his veins. Her looks had been a mix of frustration — he assumed over the conversation he would have with Rob that day; along with undercover glances at his body — likely her remembering their activities of the afternoon before.

It wasn’t as if he’d be forgetting those activities anytime soon himself.

Or knew what to do about them.

They’d had sex. Unbelievably good sex. She’d told him they shouldn’t do it again. She’d turned down his offer to stay on longer and continue. And then he’d realized he was far more of an idiot than he’d ever given himself credit for.

He craved her.

He wore the desperate need to be close to her, to talk to her, and to be inside her.
