‘It’s … nice,’ Millie said, and he knew she didn’t know a thing about boats. Who cared? He liked seeing her on deck, even if her clothes were still way too wrinkle-free. Today she wore a red-and-white-striped top and crisp navy-blue capris. Very nautical. Very boring. Yet he was intrigued by the way the boat-neck of her top revealed the hard, angular line of her collarbone. He wanted to run his fingers along that ridge of bone, discover if her skin was as icily soft as it had been last night.
‘I could take you out some time,’ he said. ‘On the boat.’ Why was she here? He stepped closer to her, inhaled the scent of her, something clean and citrusy. Breathed deep.
She turned to him, her hair sweeping along her jaw, and his gaze was caught by the angles of her jaw and shoulder, hard and soft. Her top had slipped a little, and he could see the strap of her bra: beige lace. No sexy lingerie for this lady, yet he still felt himself go hard.
‘You could,’ she said slowly, and he knew she was gearing up to say something—but what?
He folded his arms, adopted a casual pose. ‘So?’
‘So what?’
‘Why are you here, Millie?’
Again that trapped look, chin tilted with defiance. This woman was all contradiction. ‘Do you mind?’
‘Not a bit.’ And that was the truth.
She turned away, rubbing her arms as if she were cold. ‘How long are you on this island, anyway?’
‘A week, give or take.’
‘You’re not sure?’
‘I’m being flexible.’
‘And then you go back to New York?’
‘That’s the plan.’ This was starting to feel like an interrogation. He didn’t mind, but he wondered what she was getting at.
‘I’ve never come across you in New York,’ she said, almost to herself, and Chase just about kept himself from rolling his eyes.
