Three days later Dominique sat in her courtroom rubbing the bridge of her nose in frustration. She looked at the two men who were nervously staring back at her. “Please approach the bench. The both of you.”

When they stood directly in front of her, she said, “The two of you have really tried my patience today, and I refuse to let either of you turn my courtroom into a circus any longer. A woman is on trial for her life, and I expect you to behave like the professionals you are or you will find yourselves in contempt of court.”

Both men nodded. Neither was eager to pay a contempt-of-court fine. “Now then, shall we continue?”

As they walked away, she angrily glanced at her watch. It was three o’clock already. The day had dragged by only because the prosecution and the defense had relentlessly bickered at each other and had refused to give an inch. She had objected so much that her throat was raw.

She had looked forward to preparing dinner for Jordan tonight, and now from the looks of things there was no way she would make it home at a decent time. And on top of that, the prosecution had come up with some new evidence she needed to review to determine whether it was admissible. During one of the short recesses, she had left a message on Jordan’s answering machine explaining her situation.

Dominique had seen Jordan that morning when they had jogged, but she hadn’t known the trial would go beyond the scheduled time. A moment later, while a witness on the stand was going over what had happened the day that Lee Fairchild had gotten killed, she felt goose bumps form on her arms. She looked up to see Jordan, dressed in a tailored business suit and looking like he belonged on the cover of a magazine, enter her courtroom and take a seat.

When their gazes connected, she felt her heart beginning to beat so fast that she had to take several deep breaths. She finally broke eye contact before literally passing out from the all-too-familiar sensuous heat that was rushing through her body.

It didn’t seem fair, all these new sensations she was feeling. And if that weren’t bad enough, she often found herself fantasizing about him during the day and dreaming about him at night.

Taking another deep breath, she turned her full concentration back to what was going on in her courtroom.
