Chapter Nine

Wednesday afternoon

He wanted to be a father. Admitting that to Kelly focused the root of his sadness as nothing else in the past three years had done. The next day Rob left the courthouse, walking briskly down the steps to the square and around the sidewalk to his office in an old building on the right corner of the square.

His secretary Gail greeted him cheerily when he arrived. “You have a guest waiting in your office.”

He opened the door to his office. Kelly.

She stood with her back to the door surveying his rows of law books in a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf behind his desk. She wore denim full-length riding pants with long suede patches inside the calves. The jodhpurs fit her close from the waist to the ankle ending with flared bell-bottoms. She had tucked a pale blue chambray shirt into the waistband and rolled up her long sleeves.

Kelly was sexy. One hundred percent. Every fiber of his being revved with excitement.

A powerful rush of desire filled his veins. He turned and grinned back at Gail without embarrassment. “Thanks,” he said, knowing now why she had given him that saucy wink.

Kelly turned and caught him staring. “What?”

“I like the way you look since you’ve grown up.”

Blushing delicately, she stepped around his desk to confront him eye-to-eye, as if challenging him to say more. “Have you read all those books?” she asked instead.

“Not even half,” he said with a short laugh. Circling the desk, he placed his brief case on the top but didn’t open it. “You must remember this was my father’s office. Many of them are his.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

She stood ill at ease, shifting her stance and staring at him. Red hair framed her oval face. Kelly’s milk-white complexion was tanned from summer sun. What did she like to do? Did she read books and knit? He didn’t know much about her, but was anxious to learn.

“I see you came ready to ride.”

She followed his gaze as he gave her an approving up and down once over. Her body stiffened in defense. “I thought you told me to.”

“I did.” He grinned, enjoying her discomfiture. “Let me change my clothes, and we’ll get going.”
