I felt like a right idiot. Within moments of climbing back onto the boat, I realized my plan to sneak up on Lacey wasn't a good one. She was burned—bad. I hadn't thought to make sure she'd applied sunscreen before she stretched out.

Having set Candy the task of starting dinner, I was now pacing in Lacey’s bedroom. The sunburn ailment basket sat on her bed. I couldn't decide if I should stay in here to meet her, or if I should wait outside the door so she could dress first. Since she'd been in a bikini top and barely-there denim shorts, a lot of skin needed treatment, therefore getting dressed would have to wait. So I paced.

“Hey.” Her voice, a soft whisper, caught my attention. I looked up to find her clad in a fluffy green towel that highlighted her eyes, and I felt the first stirrings of trouble. I was going to need to stay focused, be professional in my touch, and get out.

“Hey, yourself. Did the cool water help?”

“After a bit of adjustment on the shower head—at first it felt like razors. Oh, and I took some Tylenol as well.” She laughed. “So, should I just lay on the bed, then?”

“That'd be great. I'll just turn around.” I twisted as she moved past me, her clean scent settling on my tongue and in my nose. Focus, I chastised myself. I heard the soft rustle of fabric and the tiniest of squeaks from the mattress, and I could imagine her on her knees, crawling to the center . . . professional, Trent. I shook my head and squeezed my hands closed, then spread my fingers wide, stretching them.

“I'm ready.”

Turning, my breath caught at the sight before me. Her silky, short, black hair feathered against her cheeks, and her forehead rested on her folded hands. Angry, red skin stood stark against the pale blue bedspread, until I reached the lower section of her back. Her pale bottom curved up from the bed in a soft sway, like a swirl of cream against the blue before becoming fiery-red again where the swell of her cheeks met the back of her thighs. Pulling my eyes from the shadowy space where her thighs met, I found the towel she'd cast aside on the floor. Damn, now I was ready too.

Only the proper upbringing I'd had kept me from ravaging Lacey; that, and sheer will power. I managed to behave like a gentleman while I smoothed the aloe-infused, orange-scented lotion onto her body. Her skin felt cashmere-soft beneath my fingertips, and I handled her with the care she deserved. By the time she was saturated with the cool cream, her pain killers had kicked in, and she was asleep, a small bit of drool beginning to escape the corner of her mouth. I grabbed a tissue and wiped off her face. Then I retrieved the soft blanket from across the foot of the bed, unfolded it, and covered her up. I kissed her forehead and departed to take my shower and find some relief of my own.
