Chapter Seventeen

Courtney

Nerves askew, I stand next to Blaze’s cabin and watch him load gear into his vehicle. His mussed hair is blowing in the breeze as a seagull dive-bombs him. Blaze swats the bird away as his lips turn up in a breathtaking smile that has my heart skipping a beat. I might be rooting for the bird to take a bite or two. The man could use a few scars. Nope. Even scars wouldn’t detract from this man’s looks. It’s not just the image of him, it’s the utter confidence he exudes. It’s the total package.

I realize I’m in some serious trouble as I gaze at my first love while he stands at the vehicle wearing only a pair of khaki shorts and a fitted T-shirt. His muscles ripple in the rays of the sun as he lifts his arms and stretches. Beautiful. He’s pure beauty, causing an unbelievable ache in my stomach as I remind myself I made a good decision ten years before, and a not-so-good decision in coming on this quest with him now.

By good decision, I realize I can’t ever regret out summer together. It turned me from a girl to a woman. Spending last weekend with him might’ve been foolish, but oh, how good it was. My bad decision making truly started a few days ago. I know this quest is a mistake. I have to wipe the corners of my mouth as I gaze at this man. Adult women shouldn’t drool, but the saying about mouthwatering good began for a reason. Saliva literally builds in my mouth as I gaze upon him. Maybe if I look at it in a biological way, I can be more forgiving of my errant thoughts. I doubt it. It seems I simply like crucifying myself.

On the other hand, it never hurts to take in some eye candy, does it? It’s a natural response for any woman presented with so much bronze and steel. As I gaze at him, I try to think like the professor I am, and simply appreciate the exquisiteness of a beautiful man. This is what keeps our species alive. Hell, in a lot of the animal kingdom, the males are always prettier than the females. Eye candy is real. I’ve talked myself into feeling better about my stocker ways.

Logic always works for me, and I give myself a break and an out at the same time. Biology demands I appreciate a good male specimen. Good for me. With a deep breath, I walk across the pavement to where he’s stowing the last items.

An F-18 flies over us and he gazes up at the sky, his profile brilliant as his expression changes to that of an excited child. Boys and fast toys are something I’ll never truly understand. Even as he watches the speeding jet, I see restlessness in his body. Ten years ago he was a young man on a mission — too excited about life to sit still. It’s something I envy about him.
