Chapter 16

The plane was approaching cruising altitude and Sterling was regretting upgrading Lucy’s seat to first class. It had seemed like a good idea when he’d done it, before the surprise birthday party last night. After the three days they had just spent together, it had struck Sterling as awkward for him to fly home first class, while Lucy sat back in coach. So he upgraded her ticket.

That didn’t seem like such a hot idea anymore.

One, he was afraid she’d bring up the camp again. Elle’s seduction strategy had been a bust. Clearly, Lucy was not the kind of woman who could be romanced into changing her mind. That had been painfully evident at last night’s party. She’d shown no compunction about bringing up the camp again ... at his party, no less. And finding another camper at Elle and Edward’s B&B? They were coming out of the woodwork, it seemed, like zombies in some cheesy horror movie. Everywhere Sterling turned, another camper.

No, Lucy had slept with him for the fun of it—and with no sense of obligation afterward. Imagine that, he thought ruefully. A woman whose approach to sex was the same as his had always been. Not that it hadn’t been fun for him. Oh, it most certainly had been. Too much fun, almost. Because now they were heading back to St. Caroline, teeny-tiny St. Caroline—a town much too small for him to get away with sleeping with an employee. Much as he might want to continue doing so. And he definitely did.

Which brought him to reason number two for wishing Lucy was back in coach: she was too much of a damn distraction sitting this close. During takeoff, when she had been white-knuckling the armrests, it had taken all his willpower not to reach over and cover her soft hand with his. It had been impossible not to notice her taking slow, deep breaths to try and calm her fear. The curves of her breasts beneath her white sweater had risen and fallen with each inhale and exhale.

Right now, the citrusy scent of the B&B’s organic shampoo was drifting over from her hair to his nostrils. He wanted nothing more than to just bury his face in her hair, thread his fingers through those soft waves, pull her face around to meet his ...

He leaned back in his seat and closed his tired eyes. It would be lovely to just sit here on the flight and picture Lucy as he had seen her the other day in the sauna. Naked and daring him to kiss her, daring him to go further. But he was hurtling back toward reality, at hundreds of miles an hour. Actually, reality had found him out here even. At five o’clock this morning, his mother had called with the news that his father’s condition was deteriorating. Sterling wished his mother had told him earlier—months ago—about the gravity of his father’s illness. He would have come home sooner, contrary to popular opinion. He and
