Oh shit, he'd accidentally opened up a can of worms by asking her about her job. Hoping to head her off at the pass, he said, “My life's pretty much the same as it always was.”

Except for the blip after she left and he nearly lost everything.

Undeterred by his terse answer, she said, “Do you still live in the same part of town?”

Hell no, he couldn't stand to drive through the same neighborhoods where they'd often go walking late at night when there was a full moon.

“I'm closer to the beach.”

Leaning forward with her elbows on her knees, she was one hundred percent focused on him. “What about the guitar? Are you still playing?”

Only a handful of people knew he played. How could he have forgotten that Dianna was one of them? Or that the only songs he'd ever written had been three-chord love songs dedicated to her?

He shrugged. “I haven't played in a long time.”

He had no intention of admitting that he hadn't touched his guitar since the day she left. How could he, when every note he played reminded him of her?

Clearly getting frustrated with his reticence, she asked, “You must be one of the more established guys on the Tahoe Pines crew, right?”

“I am. As you can imagine,” he said, dropping his guard for a moment, “I'm not opposed to kicking the rookies'

asses around the block when they need it.”

She grinned at him. “Who else do I know on the current crew?”

“Only me and Logan.”

Shit, how could she have forgotten his brother?

“And Connor, of course.”

Talking about his brother felt like venturing back into a minefield, so he quickly said, “In the off-season I've been helping lead some adventure tours for a friend's company.”

“Ah, so that's why you know how to do all of this.” She gestured to their gear and the river. “Any chance you'd consider doing a segment on your friend's company for my show sometime? It's just the sort of thing my viewers love.”

Oh shit, he couldn't let himself think about the future. About seeing her again.

Or, worse, not seeing her again.

“It's getting late. We should get back on the river.”

Hurt flashed on her face before she wiped it away.

“I'll clean our plates,” she said, grabbing everything and heading toward the water.

The thin fabric of her pants outlined the swell of her hips, her taut thigh muscles. When she knelt down on the sand to wash out the tin cups they'd eaten out of, even though he knew he shouldn't be watching her, he couldn't tear his eyes away.

From the first moment he'd met her, he'd desired her. Intensely. If anything, the years between that first meeting and the present had only made his yearning grow stronger.

The water had washed off her makeup, and without the fancy clothes and hairdo, she looked more and more like the eighteen-year-old girl he'd fallen in love with.

Finished shaking out the cups, she turned away from the river and caught him staring. Her eyes opened wide, her nipples peaked with awareness.
