Chapter Sixteen

Padric could barely keep his hands off Zoe’s shapely body during the trip across the strait to the harbor. The taste of her, the feel of her, worked like a drug on his system, and all he wanted to do was get her naked. In a private place. With sheets. He’d always be grateful for Lost Souls Wilderness for providing such an inspiring location to take things further with Zoe, but he wanted the next part to happen indoors.

He wasn’t exactly sure when getting closer to her had become so important to him. Maybe once she’d relaxed and stopped resenting him? Maybe when he’d tasted her baklava? Or maybe when he’d first spotted her on the float when he cruised into Lost Harbor.

It didn’t really matter. Now that he’d felt her shatter in his arms, he had one goal in life. To make it happen again, but this time while he was deep inside her body.

He kept up a constant flow of conversation as they zipped across the darkening bay. He was afraid that if he stopped talking, she’d think better of his invitation. She’d remember that he was a rock star and therefore untrustworthy, or she’d get mad about the sixth-grade kiss he’d never told her about.

Once again, they were in weirdly perfect sync.

“So why didn’t you tell me about kissing Mindy?” she asked, just when the topic surfaced in his own thoughts.

“I was afraid you’d disapprove,” he admitted to her. “You knew I didn’t really like her. It seemed like such a typical boy thing, and you always thought I was better than that. Apparently I wasn’t.”

“Did I think that?” She lifted an expressive black eyebrow at him. “Are you so sure?”

“You didn’t?”

She tilted her head, considering. “I knew other girls liked you. Lots of them. More than you knew about, by the way. But my older brothers thought you were gay.”

“What?” That was news. News that almost threw him off course.

“They said there was no way a straight boy would be okay with being friends forever.”

“Who said I was fine with being friends forever?” He shook his head, bemused by this new information. Zoe’s brothers were big macho guys several years older than them. Had they really thought he was gay? “I was pretty much always interested in girls. My first big crush was all the girls in Destiny’s Child, for God’s sake.”

“I knew you weren’t gay. But I let them think that you were.”

He quirked an eyebrow at her as he steered past the breakwater that marked the entrance of the harbor. To his right, a red marker blinked. To his left, the shadowy structures of the fuel depot loomed. “Okay. That might explain a few things, looking back. Why did you do that?”

“So I could come over whenever I wanted.” She gave him a cheeky smile from her perch on the padded bench. “Didn’t you ever wonder why my conservative Greek Orthodox parents gave me so much leeway when it came to you? They figured you weren’t a threat to my virginity.
