finger.”
    “Something to consider.” Sara smiled at him. “What about you?”
    “Already there, honey. Already there.”
    The heat in his expression had her believing every word. Scary how easily she fell back into trusting him with her heart.
    Riley was setting a fresh plate at her place when they walked into the kitchen.
    “Eat,” he told her. “You’re going to need the calories.”
    “See,” she said to Kale, “he’s going to fatten me up.”
    Riley leaned close to her ear. “I’m hoping to help you burn these calories later.”
    Sara’s face warmed with the innuendo, and she smiled at both men. What they were proposing was filling her head with erotic images she couldn’t ignore.
    The waffles were tasty, and she finished hers while trying to decide what to tell them about her former employers. Finally, she decided blunt would be best. “Kale, Riley, before we talk about anything else, there’s something you need to know about me.”
    “Please don’t tell us you’re already married to some schmuck,” Riley said.
    “No.” She chuckled. “Worse.”
    “Nothing could be worse than divorce proceedings.”
    “I need to be in Dallas by Tuesday.”
    Riley shook his head. “Not possible, Sara. The roads are a mess.”
    “Remember when I told you about my job with the software company?” she asked Kale.
    “Yeah. Are they opening back up and need you to work?”
    “No. But I have a meeting with the district attorney’s office to discuss my employers.”
    Riley sat forward, his hand on hers. “What exactly are you going to tell them?”
    His touch was comforting while his expression was all business. “I’m not sure. I think they want to ask me some questions about why they went out of business.”
    Riley, again, while Kale kept quiet. “Why don’t they just ask your employers?”
    “Can’t find them.” She snagged a piece of bacon from Kale’s plate and stuck it in her mouth, hoping they would see chewing as a reasonable delay to the conversation.
    “Do you know where they are?”
    “Exactly what kind of business did your employers have?”
    “Why is the district attorney interested in them?”
    The rapid-fire questions were getting on her nerves. “Let me guess. You’re a cop?”
    “No.”
    “Then what?”
    Riley huffed. “Attorney. Sweetheart—Sara, did they give you any papers when they asked you to come in Tuesday?”
    “No. Well, yes, they gave me a paper with the address and a reminder of what time and what room to go to at the courthouse.”
    Riley smiled. “Just one page? Did it say ‘Subpoena’ at the top?”
    “No, I don’t think so. Maybe it’s still in my purse.” Sara pushed her chair back and stood, the thought of a few minutes of solitude calling to her. But both men rose beside her.
    “Stay here with Riley,” Kale said. “I’ll get it.” He leaned close and planted a wet one right on her lips. No hands, no tongue, just a sweet, openmouthed melding of two people. Then he turned with a grin and walked off in search of her purse.
    A strong hand captured her shoulder, and she found herself looking into sparkling black orbs. Riley moved a mere inch closer, as if giving her time to stop him, but Sara was past the point of resistance.
    She met him halfway.
    His mouth pressed against hers, heat flashing between them as he took possession of her senses. Riley changed the angle, and suddenly Sara felt surrounded and overwhelmed by the warmth of his arms around her, the strong contours of his body against hers, and the complete submission of her body to his control. He was convincing her with his lust. The only problem she could see was herself. Lust and love were not always compatible, and she was in love with Kale.
    The logistics of this type of relationship baffled her. Sara pressed her palms to Riley’s chest and stepped a few inches away. “I need time to think.”
    “I agree. But sometimes thinking doesn’t help. Give yourself a chance to
