Alicia was both exhausted and exhilarated when they arrived back at the marina. She was also drenched with sea spray and cautious exploration confirmed that her hair was wild as Medusa’s. “I must look a fright,” she murmured, trying to catch her reflection in a shiny metal plate on the ship’s deck.

“You look ravishing. In fact, I’m tempted to ravish you right now.”

Rick’s dark hair was tousled and shiny from the wind and spray. His eyes shone with excitement that mirrored her own.

“I’m tempted to ravish you right back,” she whispered, casting a surreptitious glance at the grand clubhouse. “But I suspect we should wait until we’re somewhere more private.”

As they drew closer, she saw a crowd had gathered on the elegant balcony that faced the bay. “They’re having some kind of party.”

“There’s always a party going on here. Those poor people must not have decent homes to go to.” He shook his head with pity. “I prefer a more private party.”

The flash of heat in his eyes caused a rush of warmth between her legs.

“I think it’s a barbecue.”

No one looked that dressed up. She saw the two preppy guys in polo shirts and cargo shorts that they’d passed on their way out to the boat.

“They have them every Saturday.”

“Looks kind of fun.” She was still new to this lifestyles-of-the-rich-and-famous thing, and sometimes it was a blast just to see a new place and meet some new people.

Again she noticed a strange flicker of darkness in Rick’s eyes.

Then his usual teasing expression returned. “I’m afraid I’m not willing to share you with anyone right now.” He growled slightly, so that only she could hear. “I’ve managed to keep my hands off that gorgeous body all afternoon and I can’t wait a moment longer.”

His hands left the tiller and appeared to move toward her of their own accord, which made the boat stray off their careful course into the marina.

“Watch out!” she called, grabbing the handle, as they drifted dangerously close to a gleaming monstrosity with yellow sails. “It’s probably not hard to do a million dollar’s worth of damage around here.”

“Too right.” He grinned, suddenly back under control, and steered Titan III into the forest of shiny masts with their colorful sails furled. “Glad I have you here to keep me on track. How did you like your first time out on the water?”

“I loved it.”

Energy still danced through her, sparked by the exhilarating experience of steering the fast craft through the open water, harnessing the power of the wind.

“Then you’ll come out again?” He raised a brow.

“I’d like to.”

She’d more than like to, and not just because she’d discovered the fun of sailing. She wanted to spend more time with Rick. It was a relief to know that he already wanted to make plans beyond this weekend.

“Fantastic. I think next time we’ll sail right out of the bay, into the gulf. What do you think?”

Anticipation trickled through her. “I think I’m ready.”

Right now she felt ready for anything.
