with you, even though you’ve given me the brush off, than go back to the party.”
    She fell into step beside him. “You don’t like parties?”
    “I’m not keen on large groups of people. I’m a solitary kind of guy.”
    “Bit odd being in the Army, isn’t it? Don’t you all shower together and stuff?”
    He gave her an amused look.
    “Okay, maybe that’s a dream I had once,” she said.
    He chuckled. “I’m not in it for the social aspect. It’s a career. They paid for all my university fees, it’s a good wage, and when I eventually come out I’ll have no trouble getting a job. It’s a fantastic career for any guy.”
    “I suppose.” In spite of her reservations, curiosity made her itch to question him. “How many ways can you kill a man?”
    “I dunno. How many do I need?”
    She nudged him with her elbow. “Come on, tell me stuff. Can you get stones out of horses’ hooves?”
    “I believe you’re thinking of the boy scouts.”
    “So you’re an expert on jet engines and meteorology?”
    “That’s the Air Force.”
    “Okay, how many knots do you know?”
    He sighed. “That’s the Navy. I thought you said your dad was in the Army?”
    “He was. I’m teasing you.” She winked at him. “I guess you wear camouflage and do all those strange hand signals you see in the movies—you know, so the enemy doesn’t hear you talking?”
    “Sometimes. I can think of a few that might be appropriate now.”
    She laughed. “I can tell you don’t have a sister. You’re not used to being teased.”
    “I’m glad I don’t have one—if she was anything like you, I’d probably have strangled her.”
    “Oh come on. You must be used to women being fascinated by the soldier thing.”
    He shrugged.
    “It must be a bit like a girl saying she’s an underwear model,” she said.
    He laughed. “I suppose.”
    “Don’t you like talking about it?”
    “Not much. It’s a major part of my life, but it’s not everything, you know? When I’m not there, I like to talk about other things.”
    “Fair enough.” She could understand that—she wasn’t keen on talking about teaching when she wasn’t at school.
    They walked quietly for a while, and she took the opportunity to study him surreptitiously. The sleeves of his black T-shirt stretched tight across his huge biceps, and he exuded masculinity. Suddenly she understood the term “alpha male”. This guy would definitely be the leader of any pack.
    Briefly, she let herself wonder what it would be like to go to bed with someone like him. Lee had been the polar opposite to Hamish—slender, not much taller than her, fair-haired, quiet, and gentle. Sex had been pleasant and fulfilling, but they’d never set the sheets alight. There’d only been one other guy before him, and that hadn’t been brilliant either. Hamish McIntyre would be a devil in bed. Sexuality oozed from him, evident in his confidence, his sense of humor, and his sexy smile. What would it be like to be loved by a man like that?
    Wait a minute. He’s in the Army, Rose...
    “How long are you here in New Zealand?” she asked.
    “Three weeks.”
    “Oh.” She looked out to sea. They should really return to the party. Spending even a second more in this man’s company was going to lead to trouble.
    At that moment, however, they rounded the bend, a short distance from the fish and chip shop. Hamish glanced at her. “Fancy something to eat?”
    “Er...” Rose! You have to go back! Make an excuse! “Your brother will wonder where you’ve gone.”
    “No, he won’t. He’ll be three sheets to the wind by now. He’ll have forgotten all about me.”
    “Bev will worry.”
    He gave her his sexy smile. “No, she won’t. She knows you’re with me.”
    “She doesn’t—I didn’t tell her before we left.”
    “Honey, I told her that when you turned up, I’d be whisking you off somewhere. She’ll know where you’ve gone.”
    Rose stopped and frowned at him. “I wish you wouldn’t
