Chapter 24

Brody watched Rayna flee as if her ass was on fire. The sway of her hips under her light blue cover-up caught his eye, reminding him of that perfect ass he’d been admiring earlier.

Katie stood at the bar and opened a bottle of Merlot. Brody got to his feet and set his napkin down on the table. “I’ll take it out to her, Katie,” he murmured.

“Sure. Thanks, Brody. I’ll get everything cleaned up in here.”

Brody took the glass and glanced over at Jason and Margarita, who were still talking. Well, Jason looked like a puppy waiting to be pet by its master, and Margarita gazed at him like she wanted to eat him for dessert. Brody had the distinct feeling Margarita was far more than Jason could handle.

He pushed open the door leading to the bow, the moon coming up over St. Thomas as the sun set behind him. Rayna stood at the side of the boat, her arms resting on the teak railing.

“Here you go,” he said as he approached.

She turned to him, startled. “I-I’m sorry,” she stammered. “I was expecting Katie.”

“She had things she needed to get done, so I volunteered to bring it out to you.”

Rayna took the glass and gave him a small smile. “Thank you,” she murmured, turning back to the bay. Brody stood next to her, leaning his arms on the railing, leaving just a few inches between them.

“This is beautiful,” she said, taking a sip of wine.

Brody studied her in the moonlight. He saw a little bit of Margarita in her features, but he wouldn’t know they were related unless he’d been told so. While Margarita’s features were strong and hard—just like her personality— Rayna’s were softer, more feminine. She tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear, and Brody had the urge to take the lobe into his mouth and suckle it. “Yes, you’re right,” he said, hearing the gravel in his voice. “It is beautiful.”

She glanced over at him her grey eyes glimmering in the deck light. “I take it you talked to your boss and now trust me that me being here is all a coincidence,” she said.

Brody sighed and looked out over the dark water. “I guess I have to,” he said, “because nothing else makes sense. If the government wanted me back, they would have taken me at the dock. There’s no reason for them to send you here to go cruising on a yacht. Besides that, I do trust my boss. It’s after this trip I worry about.”

“Why?”

Brody shrugged. “Who’s to say that you won’t go running to your supervisor with information on where I am? What if there is some type of reward on my head, and you can cash in? Turning in a fugitive would definitely help you move up the ladder, right?”

“Brody, I would never do that,” Rayna said, placing her hand on his arm. “You have my word that your location is safe with me.”

He stared at her for a long time, and she never looked away.
