“How far would you go?”
Gideon’s words stopped Brooke short. She was already late and she felt
the seconds ticking by. Turning in the small cabin of his sailboat, she found
him where she’d left him, lying on his bed, his tanned body entangled in the
sheets, dark hair falling over his forehead.

“What do you mean?”
He pushed himself upward, levering on an elbow, muscles visible
beneath his tanned skin, gray eyes assessing. As if he knew. Outside a
seagull cried, and she caught its image flying past masts of neighboring
sailboats, then skimming over the gray waters of the bay.
Tell him. Get it over with. End this now!
“For something you wanted,” he said, and he wasn’t smiling. “How far
would you go?”
“I don’t know.” She finger combed her tousled hair, then started for the
short flight of stairs leading to the deck. “Pretty far, I guess.” She glanced at
her watch. “Look, I really have to go.”
Tell him.
“Wait.” He rolled off the bed, and she noticed his tattoo, a small octopus
inked at his nape, barely visible when his hair grew long. He caught her
wrist, spinning her back to face him. A little over six feet, he was lean and
fit, his skin bronzed from hours in the sun. “Why don’t you ask me?” he
said and he leaned down to touch his forehead to hers. His fingertips moved
against the inside of her wrist and his pupils darkened a bit. Tell him! that
damned inner voice insisted. Tell him now!
“Ask you?”
“How far I’d go.”
Her heart started beating a little quicker, his fingers so warm, the boat
rocking slightly under her feet. “Okay,” she said, and hated the whispery
tone of her voice. “Okay. How far would you go?”
“For something I wanted? For the person I was supposed to be with?”
His gaze locked with hers and the breath caught in the back of her throat.
The walls of the boat’s tiny cabin seemed to shrink, and for a heartbeat it
was as if they were the only two people on earth. He leaned close and
whispered in her ear, “I would do anything.” She swallowed hard.
He repeated, “Anything.”
“Anything?” She couldn’t keep the skepticism from her voice.
His gaze held hers. “If I had to, I would kill.”
Seattle traffic was a nightmare.
And she was late.
Of course.
Not only had she chickened out and not told Gideon that what they’d
shared for the past few months was over, she was running late. Again.
“Come on, come on,” she said, as much to herself as to the other drivers
in the snarl of vehicles clogging the streets.
She drove her SUV through the
knots of vehicles, slipping from one lane to another, then turning her
Explorer onto a steep side street, hoping to avoid the crush heading to the
freeway.
