CHAPTER NINE

AN UNUSUALLY EMPTY HOUSE, a few hours of sleep and a frenzied day spent rushing from one job site to the next didn’t do a damn thing to help Will shake the memory of last night.

He didn’t even need to close his eyes to see Kenzie the way she’d looked, fast asleep at her desk with her chin resting against her chest and wisps of her hair playing about her face.

Her hair hadn’t come anywhere close to covering her legs though, which she’d propped on the desk for his viewing pleasure. Gravity had kindly worked its magic on her skirt so he’d gotten a prime shot of those dancer legs, which is exactly how he thought of them—long, lean and shapely. He saw more thigh than this proper miss would have revealed—to him, anyway.

Maybe not to her not-at-the-moment attorney.

Just the thought soured Will’s mood. Kenzie was making him remember what he’d forgotten in the crush of his busy life.

He was a man who hadn’t been with a woman in a long time.

Okay, well, he hadn’t so much forgotten as he had been too busy and preoccupied to notice anything that could be ignored. Sam. Work. Angel House. City council. Family. Friends even still made it onto the list for holidays and play dates for Sam whenever they found time. He’d pack up Sam and off they’d go to Charlie and Nicole’s or Greg and Ashley’s to watch a game or grill outdoors so the kids could swim.

But hell no to anything even resembling a woman or a date. There hadn’t been room in his life to even think about someone let alone meet someone and invest the one thing he didn’t have into a relationship—time.

To date, sex hadn’t made the list and wouldn’t as long as it could be ignored. He wished he could somehow figure out that part of his life, because he hadn’t been wrong about Kenzie. She was aware of him the way he was of her. No question.

So how long could he go without sex? As he’d already broken his personal record, Will supposed he’d go back to ignoring the situation. Any possibility of sex would be even easier to ignore once Sam got home to keep him focused on what was important in his life.

Glancing at the dashboard clock, he cursed.

Hunger was making him irritable, but he had to abandon his plan of picking up a to-go dinner from the deli to make up for the lunch he hadn’t had. Well, the protein bar and bag of peanuts he kept in the glove compartment didn’t count. Deanne had wanted to meet at the new building at five, and it was already 4:50 p.m.

Will would rather starve than complain, though. Not when he’d been enjoying the break from dealing with food—the planning of meals, the buying groceries, the meal preparation. A never-ending job on top of all the others. And he still had to tackle gluten free. He had an entirely new appreciation for his mother and Melinda, who had once fed houses filled with hungry guys.
