Hood.
    No Little Red Riding Hood here waiting to be gulped. In one swift motion she dove into the sea, grateful for the water's coolness, and swam away from the dinghy.
    A burst of laughter reached her, and a second later, Stefano joined her and then slowed down his strokes to maintain an equal speed. “Don’t swim too hard or you’ll exhaust yourself quickly.”
     “Good advice. Thank you.” She wasn’t in a rush to reach the yacht now and enjoyed the feel of the water on her skin.
    After what seemed an interminable stretch of time, she raised her head assessing the distance to the yacht and sighed. They had covered only half the distance.
    “See that buoy.” His chin tilted, indicating a barrel-like float. “We’ll hold on to it and rest for a moment.”
    Out of breath, she nodded, and used her last burst of energy to reach the buoy.
    Not too far from them, Ted called from the dinghy, “Do you want to climb aboard?”
    “No thank you, I’m good.” In a moment she would recover her strength and continue to the yacht, but there was no way on earth she’d just sit in front of those two men in a clinging bikini.
    “We’re doing great, Ted. We just need a moment to rest,” Stefano said with so much understanding that she regretted judging him badly a moment ago.
    After a few minutes, she released the buoy she’d been holding on for dear life and took a deep breath. “I can continue now.”
    Gently bobbing upon the waves, the dinghy was waiting for them when they reached the yacht. Ted extended a hand, helped her up and offered her a green towel to wrap herself in.
    “Thank you, Teddy.”
    Nice guys. Why had she been so worried about sharing their company? She and Ted sitting on opposite benches at court tomorrow didn’t mean that Ted and Stefano couldn’t behave as gentlemen the day before. Besides, Stefano had nothing to do with her mission and the lawsuit.
    Stefano hoisted himself on the swim platform of the yacht. “Not too tired?” he asked softly.
    “Not at all.” She smiled to reassure him.
    Ted maneuvered the dinghy close to the deck, and they both helped her to board the yacht. “Here’s your bag, Ashley.” Ted handed her the beach bag and tossed Stefano’s oversized bundle onto the deck. “See you later. Have a fun tour.”
    Before she recovered from her surprise, he’d swiveled the dinghy around and raced away over the waves. “But—” she swallowed wrong and spun toward Stefano. A tête-à-tête with him was not exactly the way she’d anticipated the cruise.
    He shot her his mind-boggling smile. “Welcome aboard the Athena .”

 
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER TWO
    “What happened to Ted? Why did he leave?” A scowl furrowed Ashley’s lovely forehead and a storm gathered in her eyes.
    Stefano placidly opened his arms. “He probably has work to do. Does it bother you that he couldn’t stay?”
    Her lips tightened into a thin line as she glanced at the dinghy bouncing over the waves. “Is this part of your Greek hospitality? To invite someone for a coffee and a cruise, and then dump her?”
    Typical of a lawyer to manifest her annoyance in a sharp repartee. Anger flushed her cheeks, matching her brazen hair. Her breasts heaved up over the towel like two alabaster globes. Two very tempting globes. The urge to pull her into his arms tightened his muscles. How would she react if he kissed her?
    That thought alone ignited a fire in his groin. Annoyed at his slip of control, he averted his gaze from the alluring motion of her chest. Forcing himself to relax, he spun toward the disappearing dinghy and chuckled. “For the sake of accuracy, Ted invited you for a coffee, but I am the one who suggested a cruise.”
    Her scowl didn’t soften as she pinned him with an icy look. He instantly sobered. “Ashley, I didn’t realize that Ted’s absence would create a problem. To be honest I didn’t invite him along. He knows the island inside out and I didn’t see the necessity to have a
