repeating everything he said.
    He nodded. “That I could have had you, though looking back I’m sure you meant for the magazine and not for me personally.”
    “Oh, right.” At a loss for words, Vivi could hardly put two words together, let alone form a coherent sentence.  If only Rafe knew .
    “As I recall, your parting shot was Your loss, I’m afraid , and that was right before you kissed me and then left like Cinderella in the night,” Rafe finished with a smile.
    And of course that part he had to remember with total clarity. Not sure what to say, Vivi wisely chose to keep quiet, lest she say something stupid.
    “I am quite pleased you accepted the offer to do the shoot this week. I’ve enjoyed following your work over the past years. You’re going to be a fabulous addition to Out of Bounds magazine. I see great things in store for both of us when this issue goes to press.”
    “Thank you. It was quite an honor to be chosen. Along with Jeff and John, of course.” So he really did remember that night. Especially the part about her age. Now that she was twenty-six.
    Damn the man.
    No matter how hard she tried, Rafe Santori was going to haunt her dreams tonight as well.
    Chapter Four
    Standing on the terrace, Vivi shaded her eyes with her hand and stared out at the miles of bright, blue Caribbean Sea in every direction. Overnight they had traveled from the harbor to here and she’d slept through the majority of the journey.
    Vivi tugged the cotton robe’s sash tighter about her waist and headed over to join the crew.
    “My staff will be on call all week, but they will remain out of the photo shoot,” Rafe told the gathered group of people.
    “No problem, boss.” Paulie Porchette, Out of Bounds premier crème-de-la-crème photographer moved like a hummingbird across the deck. Flitting back and forth, he arranged and then rearranged the backdrops, making sure everything was in readiness for the shoot.
    “Ah, there you are, Vivi. Good morning, my darling. Did you sleep well? I would have said hello last night when I got in, but I didn’t want to wake you from your beauty sleep.” He kissed her cheek, then stood back to survey her with a critical eye.
    “Good morning, Paulie. I think the bigger question is how do you think I look? Am I well rested enough or shall we get out the war paint?” Vivi turned her face from side to side for his perusal.
    Paulie pursed his lips and then tapped his fingers against his chin. “My god woman, you are as sexy as ever, with only the basics on.”
    Vivi smiled and kissed his cheek. “You are such a fabulous liar. Is it any wonder why I love working with you.” She was beyond thrilled with the thought of having Paulie do the shoot.
    “Only for you, babe. Only for you. Okay people, let’s get this party started.”
    “We’ll do the first shoot on the bridge. Vivi, let’s get you and the boys suited up.”
    Minutes later, Vivi stepped out from the makeshift dressing room set up on the main terrace.
    “Sweetheart, you are a teenage boy’s wet dream,” Paulie cooed, taking her by the hand and leading her to the navigation station.
    Vivi took that as a major compliment. She looked down at the white Captain’s jacket with the gold braid on the shoulder and the six brass buttons running down the front, to her white high heels. The jacket barely covered her ass, but with the pair of gold bikini panties, she wouldn’t run the risk of flashing anyone.
    “Vivi, come over here. I want you standing right here and don’t forget your hat.” Paulie perched the hat on Vivi’s head and moved to place John and Jeff into position.
    “Guys, I want the two of you lying on your sides on the ground behind Vivi. Jeff, here you hold the spyglass as if you’re looking up her jacket. John, I want you to wrap your hand around her calf. Love the look of the white on white uniforms. Such a clean look.”
    “For the first shot, I want you standing here with one hand on the wheel and
