Chapter Six

After Sam’s considerate gesture, how could Riley find it in her heart not to help him out? She couldn’t, and that’s why she was now on her second week working for Sam. Now that the teething problems were out of the way, she loved her job.

Riley knocked then poked her head around Sam’s door.

Each aspect of him she discovered seemed sexier than the last. Sam, Attorney at Law was a thing of beauty. When she first started, she’d worried that her attraction to him would get in the way of her ability to do her job, but once she settled in she found working with him surprisingly enjoyable.

He glanced up from the open file he was reading. “Hi, Riley, what’s up?”

“I just wanted to let you know I’m heading off. Do you need anything before I leave?”

“Another cup of coffee would be great. I think I might be here for a while.”

“Coffee, got it.” She closed the door and headed off to brew Sam a fresh pot. He’d been working late the last few days. She noticed his car pull into his drive around ten each night and found herself worrying about how hard he worked.

It was one thing to have ambition and another to let it drive you into the ground. As much as she’d like to encourage Sam to look after himself, it really wasn’t her business, she was only his employee.

That didn’t stop her worrying about him.

Riley carried the mug of fresh coffee back to Sam’s office. He didn’t look up this time when she entered. “I’ll try not to tip this one into your lap,” she said with a light chuckle.

“Ha-ha.” Sam’s sarcastic imitation of laughter made Riley chuckle again. “Thanks. I’ll see you tomorrow,” he said, his gaze still fixed on the file in his hands.

They’d been getting on so much better than she had imagined. Sam was fab to work with, and while he drove himself hard and expected high standards from his employees, he never made her feel like she couldn’t make a mistake.

He unconsciously reached out and selected a candy heart sweet from the pack on his desk in front of him. When he popped it into his mouth and bit into the sweet, Riley mock gasped.

Sam glanced up. “What?”

“Busted.” She laughed as she plunked down on the chair in front of his desk. “And there I was thinking you didn’t have any vices.” She pointed to the candy hearts.

“Guilty.” He dropped another sweet into his mouth and grinned. “I got hooked on them in college. Want one?” He offered her the bag of sweethearts.

“Sweets before dinner? Very bad.” But she reached out and took one. “Thanks.” Riley glanced at the candy between her fingers. “Do you ever look to see what you get?”

It wasn’t until her mind registered the lettering on the heart that her breath snagged in her throat. A random phrase, so why did it feel like someone was trying to tell her something?

Sam shook his head, his gaze returning to the file he’d been reading.
