Chapter Twenty-four

HE couldn’t get over the fact that he’d seen her painting come to life. A simple thing—a swarm of ladybugs covering a coffeepot—which Destiny saw in her head as a child, except that it happened now, down to the color of the coffeepot.

Down to the right colors, like in his unspoken, unfinished plans for the lighthouse.

All he could see in his mind’s eye was her painting of the tower in ruins. The thought that psychics might exist gave him a sick headache. Destiny was getting ready for a leisurely picnic that would probably include sex, and he felt like jumping out of his skin. Well, she could cure that. Sex with her could cure nearly everything, except for the unnerving thought that psychics might exist.

He knew damned well they didn’t.

Damn, slam, he needed to relax. Sex would help. With Destiny, he could get addicted. How had he relaxed for the first thirty years of his life?

There you go. He had never relaxed, not when sex was a one-man show.

As he pulled on his jeans, he spotted the calendar with Wednesday circled. What the flipping day was it? He buttoned his jeans, turned, and walked into the bedroom door. “Ouch.” Creeping crenellations; good lesson. Never think sex and walk at the same time. He opened the door, and Caramello raced inside—the reason it had been closed in the first place.

She passed him, slid across the floor at warp speed, and hit the wall. Yowling she took a slippery turn to chase him and got caught in his legs, tripping him, until he picked her up. “There. Are you satisfied now?”

She chatter yowled her appreciation and rubbed her head against his neck.

Morgan shook his head and carried the lovesick cat into the kitchen. “What day is it?”

“Wednesday, I think.”

“I was afraid of that. Can’t do a picnic. I have to call my parents.”

“There’s no landline or cell phone service on the island.”

He tapped her nose. “Precisely why I’m going to town to call them. I’ll take you to breakfast. The water taxi’s coming in ten, no, twenty minutes. Get dressed and come with me. Get a move on.”

“I could stop and see Reggie and Jake, and see how Reggie’s managing with the shop. Sweet sassafras tea, I could get some fresh clothes that aren’t stiff and scratchy from seawater. Unless you’re still trying to get rid of me.” She batted her lashes like a sex kitten. His sex kitten.

He kissed her, didn’t want to stop, but resisted her pull. “No, I’m addicted to you. If you stayed in town, I’d have to stay there with you, because there’s still so much for you to teach me. So you’ll be coming back with me later, and I’ll hear no arguments about it.” He set out to slap her fine ass but turned it into a caress. Then he took her by the shoulders and turned her to face the stairs. “Get a move on before I throw you on the parlor rug and have my lusty way with you.
