Lord. His voice was warm and rich. It made my senses remember his hand, his touch, and what thoughts those led me to. Almost led me to.

“Yes, Mr. Kairis. What can I do for you?” I kept it light and professional.

“I’d like to schedule an appointment, if I may.”

“I’m not sure I’ll be of much help to you after all. I can recommend someone else if you’d like.” I didn’t think meeting him would be good. Even though every fiber in me screamed out that I wanted to meet him again. Which is why I’d recommend him to—

“No. I don’t want anyone else.”

What did that mean? Sexually, even though I was pretending he didn’t still have my ripped panties? Professionally? Even his voice made my thoughts go skittering into twelve different directions. “Mr. Kairis, I think at this point we will not have a good working relationship. I can’t advocate for you properly if we don’t.” I made my tone a little frosty. It was the only way I knew to refer to what had happened without saying too much.

“I understand that I’m probably pushing it, but I am concerned with the legal advice my parents got before they left the country, Ms. Hennington.” His voice sounded strained.

Ah. That was different, and I had to admit, intriguing. Damn it.

He was good.

“Are you concerned that there may have been some impropriety? If so, Mr. Kairis, you need to approach the review board. I’m not a member, and don’t deal with –”

He cut me off. “I want to consult with you.” His voice deepened to the point of being gravelly and made it sound like an invitation. “I need to see if I am just wrecked over losing my parents, or if this is truly something I need to address.” I could hear pain in his voice.

Hell. Hell, hell, hell. I was a sucker for those who really needed help. I did more pro bono than anyone else in my firm, because I enjoyed it. I took clients on carefully, but I always had several who were my clients because of what I heard now in Dane Kairis’ voice. Torn and stolen panties aside, I could hear the need for help.

“Very well, Mr. Kairis. You can set it up with my assistant.” I hoped I wasn’t making a mistake.

His voice deepened, although how it was possible I didn’t know. “The Tiger Bar. Tonight, if we can.”

“I’m sorry, I prefer to meet in my office.” I knew it! It was a ruse to get me alone.

“I’d rather my business concerns stayed under the radar.”

I sighed. Looked at my phone, checking my week. “We can meet Thursday. It’s the earliest I have.” Take it or leave it, pal. I felt like I had to resist. Well, resist a little. True resistance would have been telling him to bugger off.

Which I didn’t do.

“Seven then. The Tiger Bar. I’ll be in the back.” He hung up without even a thank you.

I held the receiver in my hand, staring.
