Alexis carefully kept her expression neutral, though he saw her

eyelashes flutter. “That’s not funny, Commander,” she said, leaving the

bathroom, walking through the room and barely slowing to grab her

sarong before unlocking the door and moving up the stairwell.

Scott was on her ass like green stuck to grass. Those gorgeous

eyes of his had narrowed and his large body prevented her from

proceeding. “I wasn’t being funny, Alexis.” He let loose a low growl.

“And stop calling me Commander.”

“I’m not marrying you. I can’t marry you,” she said in a con-

trolled voice.

Now he knew what real pain felt like. I’m not giving up that easily,

Lex; you are going to have to do a hell of a lot better than that. Scott opened

his mouth to respond when a shout from the deck grabbed their atten-

tion.

“Stacey! Get out of there. Sharks are inbound!” Terry’s voice was

full of dread.

The conversation between them halted as they ran up the few

stairs and to the side where Stacey was floundering in the water. Scott

didn’t even slow, his muscular body sailing over the edge and execut-

ing a perfect dive into the ocean. He resurfaced a short way away and

began to knife effortlessly through the water towards the petrified girl.

As he reached her side, he could tell she’d truly begun to panic.

“Calm down, Stacey.”

Her dark eyes were wild with fear. “Sharks,” she gurgled as she

sank below the surface.

Scott was well aware of the increasing number of fins circling

their location. Pulling her head back above water he said, “Hold still,

Stacey, thrashing is only going to excite them.” Her flailing body only

intensified its force. “Forgive me, Stacey.” With one fast movement, he

knocked her unconscious, and then he quickly maneuvered her body so

it wouldn’t sink beneath the surface as he towed her to the yacht.

“Harrier, two more coming at your three o’clock!” Terry yelled

as the others fired shots into the water, trying to give Scott a clear path

to the yacht.

Scott felt the bump as one shark “tested” him. “Get ready to pull

her out!” he shouted, moving closer as another shark hit him.

Terry and Brian were ready to pull while the others had bang

sticks and guns. The sharks were getting more aggressive with each

stroke Scott took. Looking forward, Scott’s concentrated gaze landed on

Alexis who stood at the edge in her bikini holding an M-16 in her

hands. I love her. Those words rang through his soul as he swam to-

wards her.

“Two more coming up from back aft!” Tag shouted from where

he stood watching the fish finder, waiting until Scott and Stacey were

on safely back on board to drive the boat away. The anchor had already

been weighed.

“Ready, guys?” Scott asked the two hanging over the side.

“Ready!” Terry said as Alexis released a burst of gunfire into the

water nearby. The men jerked the still-unconscious girl into the boat.

As soon as she was clear, Devón, Antwon, and Mario heaved Scott’s

larger, heavier body into the yacht.

Following right on his heels was the open jaw of a large shark.
