Chapter Six

Ridge scanned the harbor for any sign of her. The captain of the Stephanie was tapping his foot impatiently.

“Bad weather projected for later this afternoon,” he said, in perfect English with only the faintest hint of a French accent. “We need to be setting off, sir. Is she coming?”

Something murky twisted in Ridge’s gut. Where was Donna? Was she avoiding him because of last night? The memory of her face, her skin and her body tormented him even now, but it was hard to say he regretted what he had done. The feeling of her body against his as he had slid into bed had been exquisite. And maybe he had been a fool for really believing she had been waiting there for him, or maybe he had just wanted that to be true too much.

“Prepare to cast off,” Ridge ordered, scanning the marina one last time before turning back to make the final preparations. He was surprised that Eric had said he could not make the first day of shooting out on the harbor, but then his father had been preoccupied. Almost jumpy. Ridge wondered what was playing on his mind. He had assumed it was business, but his absence today suggested otherwise. Ridge had been so lost in his own troubles these last few months he hadn’t spared enough time to check how his father was doing. He knew Eric had been through a tough time of his own since the split with Taylor. Perhaps Ridge should have been paying more attention to his father’s needs, and less wrapped up in his own pain.

Well, the least Ridge could do today was make sure this shoot went well. He moved to the back of the boat to give some last-minute instructions to the clique of swimsuit-clad models lounging on the deck. Holding court at the center of them was the quite remarkable Gigi Divine. Her star had been rising rapidly these last few years, and it was almost unbelievable that they had managed to secure her on such short notice.

He shook his head. Eric had told Ridge that it had been Donna who had managed that impressive feat. Donna.

She was everywhere—in his head, on his skin, in his nostrils; he couldn’t seem to escape her.

Gigi smiled coquettishly up at him. She was the sole brunette in the center of a group of tan blonds and the effect was startling. Donna was right; she was the perfect foil, the perfect focus for this campaign. She was the essence of French glamor: milky skin, black hair, curvy body. While the other women sported tiny, modern swimsuits, she wore an elegant black one-piece that somehow only served to emphasize her buxom beauty. She looked so good it was almost pornographic.

“Mr. Forrester.” Her breathy smile and sweet, accented lisp would have melted the heart of any man, but Ridge was used to beautiful women. And right now, all he could do was compare her to Donna. Gigi’s gaze was not as shrewd; her skin didn’t look like warm honey; her eyes were the wrong shade of green.
