over him as he brushed a strand of pale-blonde hair off her cheek. “You’re safe now, Jess. We’ll get you home. But first I need to get you warmed up. Will you let me take off your wet clothes?”
    Jess’s eyes widened but then she nodded and reached up to try to grasp the zipper of her jacket. When she couldn’t wrap her fingers around the metal tab she looked into Evan’s eyes and nearly melted his heart as she tearfully asked, “Help me?”
    “I got this.” He winked at her, trying to make her feel at ease as he unzipped her jacket and peeled it off her, tossing it onto the floor of the small cabin where it landed with a squelch. “How did you manage to stay afloat at all wearing this?” He grabbed the sopping weight of her woolen sweater and shook his head in amazement. “It must have been a bitch to swim in.”
    “Nearly imp-possible.” Jess nodded and he was pleased to notice her speech wasn’t quite as slurred now.
    Suddenly her eyes widened and she grabbed his wrist with both hands, locking onto it with a death grip. “There was a seal out there, wasn’t there?” Her hands were like ice where they clung to him. “I didn’t im-magine it, did I?”
    “A seal?” Evan’s thoughts raced as he tried to come up with an answer that wouldn’t out his entire colony’s secret while not denying everything and making Jess question her sanity. “Yeah, there’s a whole colony of them living in Kismet Cove. That’s where we’re going, by the way. That’s where we live and we have a private dock there.”
    “I saw…” Jess trailed off and frowned. “I thought there was a seal helping me.”
    “Really?” Evan quirked a brow at her and smiled. “Well, who knows, maybe there was one, I was too busy steering the boat to notice.” He got her sweater off of her and tossed the entire soggy mess onto the floor on top of her jacket. Beneath she was wearing a light T-shirt, and he skinned it over her head before she could even think to argue.
    Without thinking his gaze fell to her tits and all the blood left his brain to flood his cock. Hello, curves!
    He managed to force himself to look up before she caught him staring, but the image of her ample breasts spilling over the lacy cups of her bra was still burned into his retinas.
    It was only when she shivered and wrapped her arms around her bare stomach that he remembered that she was still freezing cold and half drowned. Get it together! He ordered himself and lifted the thermal blanket back up around her shoulders.
    “Do you think you can stand up? If you can, I’ll get these jeans off of you and then we’ll wrap you up good and tight until we get to shore.”
    Jess nodded slightly and stood, nearly falling forward as she tried to cope with her lingering exhaustion and the rolling of the boat. “I don’t usually l-let guys get this far on the first da-date.”
    “I promise I’ll behave.” He winked at her again and prayed to whatever gods were listening she didn’t notice the rock-hard evidence of his interest tucked behind the fly of his jeans. Evan moved as quickly as he could, one hand wrapped around her hip to steady her as he undid her pants, trying to focus on helping her and not the fact that his mouth was at the perfect height to…No. I am not going there, he told himself again and glanced up to see the faintest hint of pink on her cheeks. Realizing she was blushing, he gave her a lopsided grin and let go of her pants to grab her hands. “Hold onto my shoulders and I will have this done before you know it. Then you can curl up and get warm again.”
    “Okay.” She placed her hands just as he told her and hung on as he wrestled the wet denim down and off of her. He caught an eyeful of black lace and satin underwear and had to bite back a groan. It was an act of pure will to tear his gaze away from her lace-framed pussy and tip his head up to smile at her.
    “All right, back into bed with you. Uh, I mean…shit. You know I didn’t
