CHAPTER NINE

“I’d like to thank you for staying here and taking care of me while l was sick,” Kate told him.

“I appreciate the gesture, but it’s really not needed.”

She lightly jabbed him in the chest. “Come on. You don’t even know what I was going to suggest.”

“What were you going to suggest?” He asked in a sinfully sexy voice that made her want to rethink her suggestion.

“Nothing like what you’re thinking.”

“Damn,” he said, but he grinned.

“Daniel stocks his pond with bass. I thought we could take his boat, go out and fish, and then I’d cook for you.”

“You fish?”

“I was practically raised in a boat, and it’s been much too long since I’ve been fishing.”

“In that case, let’s do it. When should we go?”

Kate shrugged. “I don’t have anything on my schedule until I go back to work tomorrow. Let’s change and go now.”

He’d agreed silently, and she couldn’t help but think he looked like he didn’t quite know if he should believe her. And really, when she thought about it, why should he? Cole had certainly known about her childhood, but she couldn’t remember ever going fishing with him. Likely as not, Kate and fishing had never been used in the same sentence with Fritz before.

Five minutes later, they met back in the living room. She’d pulled her hair into a ponytail and slipped on sneakers.

“Do we need to take anything with us?” He asked.

She led him outside and down the path to the pond. “I called Daniel and he said he’d have the boat waiting for us and it’d have everything we need. He did it first thing this morning because I told him yesterday we might go out.”

He was silent as they walked and she leaned her head back to enjoy the feel of the sun basking on her face. It was a beautiful day, and she was so glad she’d thought about fishing. She used to love it, and it made her a bit sad when she thought about how long it’d been since she’d gone.

“Oh, wow,” he said, coming to a stop in front of the small boat waiting for them. “We actually are going fishing.”

She cocked an eyebrow at him. “You thought we weren’t?”

“I’ll admit I thought you might have fed me a line in order to seduce me.”

She couldn’t help but laugh. “You thought I might be trying to seduce you?”

“Yes. You did say you wanted to thank me.”

“And you came anyway? Are you afraid I might still have a flu bug or two?”

“Let me be honest, okay?” he said with an amused grin. "I’ve seen you naked quite a few times. I thoroughly enjoy being with you. Bottom line is, if you were offering, I wasn’t going to turn you down.”

She didn’t know how to reply to that.

“What are you thinking?” He finally asked.

“Several things,” she said, and even though she knew she shouldn’t, she added, “Starting with, I wish this boat wasn’t filled with rods, lures, and minnows.”

He nodded. “Hard to seduce someone with fish bait underfoot.
