Chapter Six

Rebecca thought she might know exactly what could relieve the tension. She could think of several different ways they could go about it, too. She hoped her desire didn’t show on her face. In the courtroom, she was known for her ability to keep her facial expression under control at all times. But right now, she didn’t feel under control. She felt a bit under David McClain’s spell, and it frightened her.

“I think what we need here, to help us de-stress a little bit, is to get things back where we were a few minutes ago. Let’s not talk about work. I think that got us both riled up.” Slowly, gently, David took her small hand in his big one and held it lightly so she could pull back if she chose. “We left work back in the City, right?”

She nodded, enjoying the soft Southern sound of his voice. Hoping to hear him say something sweet.

“It’s just you and me here. No big fancy office, tufted leather chairs, or tall judge’s bench.” He took her other hand and squeezed a little. “Just the two of us. So, if there’s something you’d rather do instead of fighting, just say the word.”

No. She couldn’t just say the word. The word she’d been thinking a few minutes ago was sex. And then she realized, as David took her hands and held them so gently—reverently even—that maybe there could be something else here, if the two of them let it have a chance. David McClain was not Stephen. But more importantly, he was not Gerald.

She couldn’t imagine having a physical-only relationship with David. Physical, yes. But it couldn’t be only physical. David was a man who cared about people, who loved deeply. Such a man wouldn’t be interested in a fling. Such a man would expect more. Like commitment.

And that was a word Rebecca had shied away from for a long while.

“Rebecca? You in there?” He leaned down and peered into her eyes, then kissed the tip of her nose. It was not erotic. A nose-tip kiss was just silly, not at all arousing. So she slid her hands up his arms and used them to balance herself, then stood on tiptoe and nipped his chin. Just a small nip. With maybe a little bitty lick. Just to be silly back at him, really. It was not very much of a tease, unless he wanted to take it that way.

Evidently he did, because he leaned down and captured her mouth with his. Rebecca’s eyes flew open in shock, surprise, and happiness. Yum! David was delicious. She’d had a suspicion he would be…

The approach of a very loud vehicle ended the moment.

Groaning, David pulled back from her, and went quickly to a front window. “Great. I may have to kill him.”

Rebecca joined him at the window, and was amazed to see a Hummer pulling up toward the cabin. A handsome, smiling man drove it.

“My brother Joe. Basically a nice guy. I never noticed how horrible his timing is, though.
