During the next week, Mike never mentioned his midnight motorcycle ride to her house. Nor did he speak of the sizzling kisses they’d shared in her office.

In fact, he barely spoke to her at all. If he passed her in the hallway or saw her in the break room, he mumbled a brief hello and left as quickly as possible.

Good, Sophia thought to herself. He was giving her space. Very good.

If it was so good, why did she feel so crummy?

Mike had gotten the hint she wasn’t interested. But was that the truth?

Sophia stared out her window at desert stretching about into the oil fields beyond the town and drew in a sharp breath. Absentmindedly, she tapped a pencil against her desk. It was for the best. Her mother did not want her involved with Mike.

What do you want, Sophia? A voice whispered at the back of her head.

She shoved the voice aside. Concentrate on your boss. Rex would arrive in Rascal by the end of the month. She was so excited to meet him in person.

Strangely enough, her boss hadn’t called or texted or even emailed since last Friday, the same day she’d kissed Mike. It was as if both men were avoiding her.

A nagging thought kept digging at her. What if Rex wasn’t attracted to her once they met? Or what if it turned out that she wasn’t physically attracted to him?

Before her close encounter of the erotic kind with Mike the handyman, Sophia would have dismissed sexual compatibility as unimportant.

But since last Friday, when Mike’s gentle hands and hot mouth had taught her the true meaning of arousal, she could no longer deny that chemistry was an essential ingredient.

Amber was right.

Now that Sophia had gotten a taste of it, there was no going back. Her list of necessary requirements for a husband was growing longer and more difficult to fulfill.

But she refused to give up hope. In every other way, Rex was the perfect man. She’d know soon enough if they could pass the sexual compatibility hurdle.

Sophia flipped her desk calendar over and marked through today’s date. Ten more days until the company picnic. Ten more days before Rex came home. Ten more days until she knew for sure. Could he make her feel as sexy as Mike did?

In the meantime, she was grateful that Mike avoided her. It made things so much easier.

The phone rang.

Sighing, Sophia reached for it. “Rex Barrington’s office. Sophia Shepherd speaking. How may I help you?”

The deep chuckle on the other end of the line set her heart thumping.

“You sound awfully serious this morning. Is something wrong, Sophia?”

“Mr. Barrington,” she exclaimed.

“Wait, a minute. What did you just call me?”

“Rex.” She grinned and felt her cheeks heat.

“I’m calling to bring you up to speed on the Rodrigo site. Are you ready to take notes?”

“Ready,” Sophia assured him, amazed at how quickly her gloomy mood lifted.

He launched into the details of their latest geological find in Brazil while she furiously took notes. They conducted
