CHAPTER THIRTEEN

WHEN ZACH LOOKED back on his life, a life littered with examples of things he shouldn’t have done, a fair proportion of his regrets involved Brittany.

He shouldn’t have had sex with her when she was eighteen and too naive to know he was trouble. He shouldn’t have married her and he shouldn’t have left her ten days later.

When she’d returned to the island, he should have kept his distance. He shouldn’t have had sex with her that night in her cottage and he definitely shouldn’t have followed her to the pond the night before and kissed her.

That kiss had destroyed all hope of sleep and he’d lain awake listening to the ghostly sounds of the loons on the far side of the pond, trying with no success to will his body into slumber. He’d contemplated a cold swim in the water, but decided in the end that there was no point. There was only one activity that was going to relieve his current frustration and that was strictly off-limits.

All he had to offer a woman was a satisfying sex life and a whole lot of emotional frustration and misery, and he wasn’t prepared to serve that up to Brittany a second time.

He rose early, packed up his things and kept his distance as the other counselors gathered the group together for breakfast around the fire. Breakfast was followed by a morning swimming and canoeing in the pond.

Brittany was directing activities from the bank, wearing her favorite cargoes with a long-sleeve cotton shirt. Underneath the smile, her eyes looked tired and Zach could see she hadn’t slept any better than he had.

He wished he could leave behind the conversation of the night before, but it clung to him like a burr clings to a sweater.

Have you wondered what would have happened if we’d met for the first time now?

He didn’t need to wonder. He knew.

He would have stripped off those cargoes and kept her in bed until neither of them had the energy to crawl to the door. He would have explored every part of her firm, athletic body and then done it again and again. It didn’t help that he knew how physical she was. Her sexual appetites matched his, and knowing that did nothing for his internal cooling system.

Hot and frustrated, he turned away and focused on something else. Usually the forest was his favorite place, but now he was looking forward to getting back to his cabin, away from Brittany’s swinging braid and infectious energy.

Because walking behind her would have meant trying not to stare at the swing of her hips, he chose to walk in front and led the way as they hiked back down the forest trail towards Camp Puffin.

Pushing the pace, he arrived back at camp a few minutes ahead of the others and immediately sensed a problem.

The area that was normally thronging with activity was eerily quiet and he glanced towards the catering barn and saw Callie, one of the counselors, guarding the door.
