Chapter Ten

When Isabelle walked into the office Monday morning, Devon tried not to look up to see what she was wearing, to see what kind of mood she was in. If he was going to have an affair with this woman—and he was; they were far too hot for each other not to take advantage of this good thing—then he had to separate the two relationships immediately. He had to do what he’d done on Friday. Wait until 5:01 before he even said anything flirty.

But when she stepped into his office and said, “Good morning,” he couldn’t very well ignore her. He looked up, saw the long length of her legs beneath the hem of the pretty pink dress she wore, and had to fight to hold back a compliment.

“Good morning.”

“I was wondering if you would have time this morning to go over some of my questions?”

There were lots of things he’d like to go over. The shiny pink fabric of the dress that hugged her curves without being too tight. The swing of her hair. Her long, long legs. But she had to be on the same page he was on. An affair only. No relationship. It might take some time to get her on board with that.

Part of the way he intended to bring her around to his way of thinking was to show her the line between business and pleasure. And he intended to be in control of both. “How about this afternoon?”

“Sorry. I have another wake.”

He gaped at her. “Somebody else died?”

She strolled a little closer to the desk, her shiny hair swaying. His fingers itched to touch it, but, once again, he stopped those thoughts.

“Yes. Harmony Hills might be a small town, but it’s not tiny. When you’ve got five thousand people, new babies are being born every week and somebody dies every week.”

He sucked in a breath. “Of course. I didn’t mean to sound so gruff. It’s just that with you still managing the flower shop, we seem to be running on your schedule not mine.” He leaned back to get a better look at her legs. “And I’m the boss.”

“You’re doing it again.”

He glanced up innocently. “What?”

“Looking at my legs.”

“It’s hard not to when they’re right in front of me.” Okay, that time he’d slipped up. If they didn’t do something about this attraction soon, he would make a fool of himself. Correction, bigger fool. He hated being this out of control. The discomfort of that forced him to focus.

“Have you had any response to the ad for help at Buds and Blossoms?”

“A few.”

He tapped his pencil on the desk. “Done any interviews?”

“I’ve been a little busy.”

She was driving him crazy with lust. He was overworking her. He tossed his pencil to his desk. “All right. Here’s the deal. Make some phone calls. Set up interviews. Put ads in the papers of nearby towns if you can’t get anybody from Harmony Hills. But get that florist shop staffed by the end of the week.
