The past couple of days had made it easy to put the whole uest—keeping his roo hishis male corowing and changing daily—she could hear hih the monitor on her hip She’d left hi rooet the envelope
Yes, it was a busy life and she loved it She didn’t want to lose it
She had an appoint with Janet Morin to see if she could get a better idea of where she stood in this whole business Janet had been more than happy to make time to see Erin when she’d called and loosely explained her situation The woman said she’d be happy to advise, pro bono, and Erin’s relief had been palpable Now, so that had filled her with dread was not so scary after all
Erin started to put the envelope in her handbag and turned to leave the small office she’d adopted as her ohen she’d taken over the ade a couple of years ago She walked straight into the solid wall ofand its contents flying in one direction, the envelope in the other
She reached out to steady herself, her hands co to rest on a broad expanse of chest, the fine cotton of Sa little to hide the definition of lean ers closed around her upper arhtly spicy tang of his cologne a subtle fragrance that was purelyas hell
Her breathing became uneven as she looked up into his eyes—eyes that were dark and storht back into her own For a crazy second, Erin alht filled her with both terror and intrigue What would he taste like, hoould his lips feel on hers? And then the ently set her away froining things Maybe even wanting things a little too much She forced herself to look away and bent to collect the scattered contents of her bag just as Sam did the same
“Sorry,” she said, her voice a little rough around the edges “I was distracted I didn’t see you”
“No, it’sin”
His long-fingered hands closed over the envelope and Erin saw hi it to her Sanize the name of the firm on the front of the envelope? Did he wonder what she was doing sending ave herself a al business, it had nothing to do with him
She finished stuffing her things into her bag and rose to her feet, suddenly very aware of Sam and of how close he now stood
“D-did you wantin another breath of his essence before stepping backward
“I need to print so her face Did he someho s fro about? “I ondering if the printer here in your office ireless and if I could set up the drivers in my laptop so I can send to it”
The banality of his request dragged her concentration very fir She shook her head “I’m sorry, it’s an old printer and we’ve never had a need for a wireless setup I’ by the office supply store and pick up a printer for you to use upstairs”
Mentally she counted the cost of what getting that printer would be Surely he wouldn’t need top-of-the-line So basic would do and hopefully that wouldn’t be too expensive
“Why don’t I coet some paper and other supplies at the sa?”
“Oh,” Erin said, looking at her watch, calculating the drive into town and factoring in the change to her original plans “Let’s say in half an hour, nine o’clock I have an appoint at nine should give us tio to the office supply store and then ?”
“Don’t worry about dropping me anywhere I wouldn’t want you to be late Just leave et the printer and I’ll wait for you near there There must be somewhere that has a chair, a newspaper and a cup of coffee close by”
