Chapter Four

Matt picked today to sit at the back of the room. Until this morning, he'd listened to her workshops while standing at the door, as if ready to run off if an engineering emergency happened. Whatever that might be.

This morning, every time Kari's gaze drifted to the left, there he was, all alone and set off from everyone else in a row he created by putting two chairs together. The knowing smile and irresistible way he tugged on the bottom of his ear almost did her in. Much more of this and she'd give the room full of engineering professionals – twenty guys and four women – a show they'd never forget.

A repeat of the scene in his office could not happen. Stumbling over her words or giggling like a preteen didn't work for her either.

To prevent a career implosion, she raced through the presentation, thrilled when the moment came to show a short film on appropriate versus inappropriate comments in the workplace. Heaven knew she should watch the damn video. She'd lost sight of the difference since meeting Matt. But she needed space, a second in the hallway pretending to be on the phone while she really caught her breath.

She turned on the television and hit the remote. Sound blasted through the room, but she didn't turn it down. She got two steps toward the door before Matt's voice stopped her.

"There's a seat here, Ms. Reynolds." He sounded professional but those eyes sparkled with what could only be called mischief.

That fast she was transported to seventh grade and a make-out session with Chuck Beemer in the closest in study hall. The naughty moment had made her feel grown-up. What Matt did to her went well beyond childhood experimentation. He shredded her good judgment and had her thinking dirty thoughts during the workday for the first time since she started collecting a paycheck.

Most eyes in the room focused on the large flat screen on the wall. Except Matt's. His heated gaze burned through her as she walked. Excitement pinged around the room but only she seemed to feel it. If anyone on Matt's staff felt the waves of desire, they hid it well.

Not Matt. If it was possible to sit and stalk at the same time, he managed it. His hands rested on his lap but an air of attack hovered around him.

She slipped into the seat next to him, careful to shift the chair a few inches from his. No need to test temptation. He knew the rules and getting all gooey in the middle of a sexual harassment seminar broke them. But he wouldn't stop staring. She focused on the screen, pretending to watch the video, while he looked at her profile.

When his fingertips brushed over the back of her hand she nearly jumped out of her seat. His fake cough covered the scrape of her chair against the hardwood floor.

"What are you doing?" She whispered without moving her lips. Keeping the shake of anger out of her voice proved harder.
