“How am I supposed to enjoy the viehen you’re in the way?”

He looked over his shoulder and grinned that cheeky grin of his as his brown eyes crinkled with mischief

“There’s all sorts of views to enjoy here, Rainne”

And he didn’t move Rainne blew her nose on a tissue she found in her pocket and wondered how she was supposed to focus on the rippling waters of the loch with his backside in the way Although, it was a nice backside—cupped in butter-soft jeans that had faded close to grey Her eyes narrowed He was doing it again

“You’re trying to make me flirt with you, aren’t you?” she said

Alastair didn’t say a word He just flicked back the fishing rod and let the weight sail through the air into the water His shoulder h the air Rainne found her eyes following the ripples of the ht to that fantastic behind She shook her head

“I’ for me”

“You really need to get over that age prejudice thing you’ve got going, Rainbow It doesn’t suit you”

“Stop calling me Rainbow Only my parents call me that”

He looked over his shoulder and grinned For a minute she would have sworn that his teeth actually sparkled

“It suits you,” he said

Rainne wedged her hands between her knees There was so that made her want to touch it

“I’irlfriend your own age”

“I’m twenty It’s not like I’m still in school”
