The trip back to the sailing club passed in silence. Dawn knew she’d created the discord between them. She’d basically told him that there was no hope of a relationship between them. What had she’d been thinking anyway? She shouldn’t have come sailing with him today. No, that’s wasn’t right. The sailing part was fine—it was kissing him as if there was no tomorrow that she shouldn’t have done.

“Dawn, come here?”

She turned in the direction of Andrew’s call. He had his hands on the big steering wheel of the boat. His legs were slightly apart, bracing himself against the slight rock of the boat. He looked so masterful. So in control of everything. So damn sexy, and she wanted him. She could deny it anymore. But the fact remained, regardless of whether she felt she deserved it or not. She wanted to spend more time with him. Wanted to pursue a relationship. She couldn’t sit on the fence and go back and forward all the time. It was time to commit to her desire. It was time to finally allow herself a little forgiveness.

Dawn got up and walked towards him. When she got near him, he took his hands off the wheel and took a step back.

“Stand right here, and steer. Steer us back to the club.”

She looked at him as if he’d spoken to her in a different language. He wanted her to drive the boat? Or whatever sailing term it was.

“I’m not sure I can do it.”

Andrew gave her no choice. He grabbed her arm and with a small yank he had her in front of him. Dawn grasped the wheel, the warmth from the metal seeped into her hands. In the next instant, Andrew’s hands landed on hers. Heat surrounded her and a feeling of well-being took hold inside. If she leaned back a fraction, she could lay her head against his shoulder.

His words whispered against her ear. “You can do it, Dawn. I know you can steer this boat. I’ll be right here with you, every step of the way. I’ll keep you safe.”

She knew he wasn’t just talking about steering the boat back safely to the dock. He was talking about moving forward in a relationship. He was saying that he respected how she felt, that she wasn’t alone anymore.

How she wanted to believe that everything would be all right. But could she trust him? He had seemed so at home as he’d sailed them around the river. Would only being able to do the occasional sail be enough for him in the future? She wanted to believe him when he’d said he was hanging up his sailing shoes.

“How can you keep me safe? You can’t keep everyone safe all the time. It’s impossible.”

As Andrew released his hold on her hands, she felt a moment of loss. It was quickly replaced by surprise when he swiveled her around so that her back rested against the wheel. He then placed his hands on either side of her so she was trapped in his embrace.
