THE WEEK FLEW BY. WITH a huge class action filing imminent, the firm was busy, and it was all hands on deck preparing the documents. Joseph’s schedule was hectic with court three days, new client interviews, and an impromptu return to Ft. Worth for another deposition on Thursday. She’d been in his bed for five straight nights, but on Wednesday went home alone. By the close of business the following day, she was missing him terribly.

To make matters worse, his return flight was delayed. When he walked in after lunch, giving her only a discreet peck on the cheek in greeting, she regretted her request for professionalism in the office.

The adage be careful what you ask for rattled around in her head, not stopping when Joseph came out of his office an hour later on his way to court.

“Do you have those two motions for me to look over?” he asked as he strode out, his briefcase in one hand while he straightened his tie with the other. A black-and-white pin-dot bow tie to be exact, which contrasted perfectly with another lightweight tweed suit, in dark gray. He was the only man she knew who wore a bow tie, but as sexy as Joseph was, he worked it.

Distracted by his glittering green-eyed gaze and warm smile, she handed him the folder with the documents. Her vision became hazy with longing when he ran his thumb over the apple of her cheek in thanks. As her eyes followed him to the door, she noticed the long square box on the console table.

“I almost forgot. That package came for you earlier.” She motioned toward it when he glanced back. Stopping briefly, he eyed the label while saying nothing, but there was a sparkle of excitement illuminating his gaze that hadn’t been there before when he glanced her way again.

“Get us a table at the Fig Tree tonight,” he said quietly. “My mouth is watering for Sea Scallops.”

“Sounds wonderful,” she replied, thinking a kiss and them getting naked on the couch in his office sounded a million times better than the city’s best seafood.

“Make it for six o’clock. We’ll be home by nine for dessert. I missed you, pet, so be warned. You are the only sweet course I have in mind.” With a wink, he was gone.

Warmth spread through her and her fantasies were on the lustful side as she stood staring longingly at the empty doorway for some time. With a deep sigh, she forced herself to get back to work.

Taking her seat, her eyes scanned the files scattered across the surface of her desk. That’s when it hit her. Frantically, she rifled through several folders then pulled out drawers and sifted through the file folders there as well. When she found the one she was looking for, she opened it and scanned the documents. Then she groaned, dropping her head on her desk with a thud.

Feeling lonely yesterday, she’d had a fleeting idea. It was childish really, so she’d pushed it aside and gone back to work.
