He shook his head. The woman amazed him. The last place he would have expected to find Miss Denton was hiding in his sleeping cabin. And for the life of him, he could find no reason for it, save one, which would be an impossibility.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cPardon me, Noah. I seem to have gotten lost.\u201d The fear fled her eyes, replaced by her usual lofty manner as she attempted to brush past him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cA condition you seem to be making a habit of aboard my ship.\u201d He moved to block her. A chuckled erupted from his throat.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>She planted her hands on her waist. \u201cI fail to see what is so amusing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Seafoam jumped onto Noah\u2019s bed and plopped down, eyeing them both.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Noah set the lantern down and leaned on the door frame. A grin overtook his lips as he realized he could have some fun with this awkward situation. \u201cOn the contrary, finding you so close to my bed in the middle of the night is quite amusing, or should I say, rather pleasing.\u201d He winked.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Her chest heaved. Her gaze flitted about the tiny room, avoiding him entirely. A red hue crept up her neck onto her face like a rising tide.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>She lifted a hand as if she were going to push him, but when her eyes met his bare chest, she seemed to think better of it. \u201cIf you please, Noah, I need some air.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He stepped aside before she swooned. Then grabbing the lantern, he followed her out into his cabin and placed it atop his desk. He faced her, searching his memory of his conversation with Mr. Heaton for anything the lady should not have overheard.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGood night, Noah.\u201d She kept her head lowered and headed for the door, but he darted in front of her. \u201cNot just yet, Miss Denton.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>She backed away. \u201cI am tired and wish to retire now.\u201d The scent of her lavender soap swirled around him<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThen why are you in my cabin?\u201d Noah lowered his head to peer into her face, but she kept her gaze upon the deck.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf you insist on keeping me here, would you at least do me the honor of donning your shirt?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He chuckled. That she was an innocent did not surprise him. That his unclad chest affected her, he found oddly pleasing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAre you quite sure, Miss Denton?\u201d He quirked a brow.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>She raised her chin, her face twisting in disdain as another flood of crimson blossomed over it. \u201cHow dare you?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cPerhaps you cannot wait for our wedding night?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Her brown eyes simmered. \u201cWhy you insufferable cad\u201d She raised her hand to slap him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He caught it and lifted it to his lips for a kiss, eyeing her with delight.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>She studied him then released a sigh. \u201cYou tease me, sir.\u201d Snatching her hand from his, she stepped back. \u201cBut what would I expect from you?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Moving to the chair he grabbed his shirt and slipped it over his head. His glance fanned over his desk where his chart had been and he spun around. \u201cYou. You ruined my chart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>She averted her gaze and began twisting her ring. \u201cWhy would I do that?\u201d<br \/>\nBrown curls swayed in disarray around a fresh bandage devoid of blood. Her lips pressed in their usual petulant manner, and her petite nose pinked as it always did when she was distraught.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTo force me to return to Baltimore, perhaps?\u201d He took a step toward her. She retreated.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Then squaring her shoulders, she placed her hands atop her rounded hips. \u201cWho is Priscilla?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Noah couldn\u2019t help but grin. So she <em>had <\/em>heard their conversation. Shame settled over him, but he shrugged it off. He had done nothing wrong. \u201cA friend.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHow dare you toss your affections to another when you are engaged to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI can assure you, miss. I never toss my affections anywhere.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>***<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Marianne studied him. A word of truth at last, for she doubted the man cared for anyone but himself. Then why was she behaving the jealous shrew? His thick chest peeked out from within his open shirt. The sight of it befuddled her mind. How could she think clearly with his firm muscles staring her in the face?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Yet something else caused unease to clamp over her nerves. Why wasn\u2019t Noah furious with her for ruining his map? Instead of chastising her and tossing her from his cabin, he seemed to find the incident amusing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Which only further infuriated her.<\/em><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-4041\" data-postid=\"4041\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-4041 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Were you hooked?
