Zach was standing in the kitchen leaning against the counter sipping a cup of coffee when Anna, who didn’t appear to be quite fully awake yet, strolled into the room early the next morning. He thought she had a sexy rumpled look, and the midriff-baring tank top and shorts she was wearing weren’t helping matters. “Good morning, Anna.”

She glanced up. “Good mor—”

Instead of completing the sentence, she rushed across the kitchen and when she came to a stop in front of him, he looked at her questioningly. “I need a sip. Bad,” she said in a desperate plea.

He looked at his coffee cup then back at her. “Okay.”

He handed her the cup. She took a sip and closed her eyes as if the coffee was exactly what she’d needed. She let out a deep sigh before taking another sip. She then returned the cup to him after smacking her lips. When she opened her eyes, a satisfaction shone in them. “Thanks. I needed that.”

He smiled. “No problem.” And for Zach it hadn’t been a problem. In fact, it had been a real turn-on to watch her drink from the same coffee cup that he had. It made him feel good that she had no qualms about sharing it with him with her lips touching the same spot that his had.

“Do you want me to pour you a cup?” he asked when she walked over to the table and sat down.

“Please. I hate to be a bother, but I didn’t get to sleep until a little before dawn.”

“Really? Why?”

“The sound of crickets, frogs, and no telling what else. I could hear them as clear as day even with my window down.”

Zach walked over to her with her cup of coffee, amused. “Welcome to Glendale Shores. The sounds are always annoying the first night, but then you finally get used to it.” He sat down across from her. “Don’t you remember how things were the last time?”

She smiled at him as she took a sip of her own coffee. “I was too busy looking through all those photo albums that when I did go to bed, I was out like a light.”

He grinned over at her. “You know what that means, don’t you?”

She raised a brow. “No. What?”

“I’m going to have to keep you up late tonight so you can sleep.”

Anna wondered how he intended to do that. She had plenty of her own ideas, but none was safe to mention. “So what time do you want us to hit the water?”

“As soon as you finish your coffee.”

She picked up her cup to take another sip. “But don’t you have to get the boat ready?”

He smiled. “It’s done. I also packed our lunch already.”

“How long have you been up?”

“At least a couple of hours.”

“You couldn’t sleep either?”

One corner of Zach’s lips lifted in a grin. “No, I couldn’t sleep either.” He didn’t add that the reasons were vastly different from hers. Nature had kept him up too, but it had nothing to do with the local wildlife.
