Mack could feel her watching him. He lifted his head.

One look into those shining hazel eyes and he knew.

So much for the damn separate rooms.

She gave him a quivery smile. "Let's go in the water again."

He couldn't right then. Everyone would have known exactly what was on his mind. "You go ahead."

"Sure?"

He nodded. He watched her walk toward the pool's edge, thinking she still looked every bit as good to him in the flesh as she'd looked in his dreams. She was slim and tall and she carried herself with a kind of quiet dignity he'd always admired. She wore a simple two-piece white suit that didn't reveal any more than it should. Wholesome. Yes. And achingly sexy at the same time.

But it wasn't only the way she looked. It was something else. Something indefinable. Some sweetness he'd never encountered before or since. Some … openness to him.

There had been other women. In the years without her.

Some had been kind and warm and funny, like Jenna. Some hadn't. None had lasted very long. After a while they had only reminded him of how much he missed what he'd once had with her.

She dived from the pool's edge, very neatly, cleaving the water with hardly a splash. Her crawl was as tidy as her dive, across the width of the pool and then back. She stopped near the edge, treading water, to trade a few words with a matronly woman in a flowered swim cap.

By then, Mack had his arousal under control enough to push himself off the banana lounge and onto his feet.

She looked his way and waved.

He went to join her in the water.

They got back to the room at a little after seven, both still wet from a final dip in the pool. They had closed the curtains earlier against the afternoon glare, so the main room of the suite was shadowed and cool. Maybe too cool. Jenna had her towel wrapped around her shoulders. She gathered it tighter.

"Why do they always think they have to keep it subzero in hotel rooms?" she asked through chattering teeth.

"There is a way to deal with that."

Her eyes widened. He knew what she thought he had meant.

And maybe he had. But just to be contrary, he turned and fiddled with the thermostat. "It should warm up in a minute or two." He turned back to find that she had closed the small distance between them.

She was still shivering. He did the natural thing and pulled her close. It felt good. Right, as it always had. Her hair was wet silk against his cheek. She smelled of chlorine, a smell about as far from erotic as any smell could get—or at least, he'd always thought so until now.

"Brr." She scrunched her shoulders, trying to get closer, He wrapped his arms a little tighter around her, enjoying the softness of her slim body beneath the towel, and waited for her shivers to subside.

He felt no need to try to tempt her anymore.
