“He’d never given it much thought before, but every second he spent with her, the yearning to connect, to know every chapter of her story, ate at him. He shouldn’t pry. It was none of his business. After tonight, she’d have her replica to sell for the Digi Robins.
For all he knew, she’d go back to being a broker at his firm, nothing more.
His hand slipped off the ratline and he cursed under his breath. “Damn it.”
“If you fall on me, I’m gonna be pissed.” Harmony called from below.
He grinned in spite of himself as he found his rhythm again. “I’m not fallin’ anytime soon, love.”
But truth be told…he was starting to suspect he’d already had.
For her.”

“Were you ever going to tell me?”
“About the Grail?” He returned to the couch and handed her a glass. “I wasn’t planning on it.”
She knocked back the rum and swallowed, setting the empty glass on the table. Impressive.
She met his eyes. “So even if we had slept together last night, you were going to keep telling me you were descended from a pirate, not an actual pirate.”
He took a swig, his gaze locked on hers. “Would you have believed me?”
“No.” She shrugged. “Just wondering how long you would have lied to me.”
“I could ask you the same thing.”
She rolled her eyes. “I played you. There’s a difference.” She shrugged. “Besides that, was before our no lies between us deal.”
“I see this as more of an omission.” He finished off his drink and placed the glass beside hers. “In my defense, I’ve never told anyone who I really am. You’re the first.”
She raised a brow. “Are you saying I should feel…special?”
“Aye.” He cleared his throat. “I’ve never taken a bullet for anyone either, not even my crew.”
“Thanks for that.” A reluctant smile curved her lips as she met his eyes. “Pretty heroic for a pirate.”
He chuckled. “It’s less heroic when you’re certain you won’t die.”
“But you knew it would hurt.”
He nodded slowly. “True.”
She pinched her fingertips close together in the air. “It might’ve been a tiny bit heroic.”
Her dark eyes sparkled with the mischief he was growing much too fond of.
“Not bad for a pirate.” He admitted.”

“She shook her head. “You don’t think anyone’s ever going to find out your secret?”

“She raised a brow. “What do I need to say to get you in this tub with me?”
A muscle tensed in his cheek, and the desire in his eyes had her struggling not to climb out of the hot water and drag him in. “Tell me we’re finished with this push and pull. I realize this won’t be easy, but we’re either partners, or we’re not, and if we’re not––my pants best be stayin’ on.”

“She grinned, shaking her head. “It’s a good thing I’m not superstitious. We’ve been stranded in the rain twice in one day. That’s gotta be a sign.” Her smile faded. “Probably not a good one.”
“Bullshit. Easy for a man to stick by you in fair weather. It’s the man who stays when the storm is howlin’ that’s worth yer trust.”
