TRACE LET HER GO without a word. It hadn’t been easy. In fact, it had been downright painful.

He crossed his arms behind his head and watched light shimmer behind the drawn curtains. Maybe it was the vulnerability he’d seen in Gina’s eyes. Or maybe he was just turning soft.

He stabbed a hand through his hair and sat up slowly. Her fragrance still drifted on the air. Light and soft, it reminded him of sunlight on wildflowers in one of the high meadows where he’d grown up back in New Mexico.

Sunlight and wildflowers, O’Halloran? You are dead in the water, pal.

He took a hard breath, turned and felt something squish beneath his shoulder. He realized it was the edge of her lilac sweater, one sleeve twisted around the silver chain that his mother had given him the day he’d joined the Navy.

Good luck, she’d called it, adding a small St. Christopher medal that was about two hundred years old.

Trace had taken neither off since. Once down in Colombia a drug lord had tried to cut it off with a machete, but Trace had taught him the error of his ways.

That story belonged to the memories of a younger, more hotheaded SEAL.

He stared up at the ceiling, his body sheened with sweat. He still felt the slide of her hips and the gentle nudge of her fingers as she’d tried to pull the damned sweater free. He hadn’t given any sign of noticing.

Talk about torture.

He’d managed not to groan when her leg slid over his. He’d been aroused beyond anything he’d ever known, tormented by her wriggling and small, soft sighs of exertion. He closed his eyes, wondering what it would feel like when they actually made love.

They’d probably melt down the whole damned ship.

Trace knew that it was going to happen. Sometime during the walk to his cabin, with Gina half asleep in his arms, he’d come to the decision.

When the time was right.

As the room filled with light, he listened to the rush of the sea and the sigh of the wind. He’d grab another two hours of sleep before he took a walk to check out Tobias’s progress. They would have to pack up the samples of the previous night’s mess along with the pill he’d taken from Gina’s bottle. A courier was already waiting at the port.

Later.

Trace’s eyes closed.

He didn’t smell the lavender scent that drifted, filling the air as he slept.
