Heart of Hurricane
“Flexing her cramped fingers, she crossed to her desk and sank down onto her chair, her shoulders slumping with weariness. In the six weeks since Deborah Lang had inadvertently pushed Ward into keeping her as his assistant, nothing had changed, Althea reflected. He was still abrupt, demanding, impatient and thoroughly exasperating. He still expected her to work all the hours that God sent, and he still rapped out orders like a field general and shouted at her when something went wrong. The only ...difference was that now he shouted "Althea" instead of "Miss Winters." No. No, that wasn't quite true, she admitted reluctantly. There had been subtle changes in their relationship, changes she didn't want to acknowledge or think about, because they made her uneasy. Like the fact that he watched her constantly in a strangely brooding way, or that he always managed to touch her whenever she came near—his fingertips grazing hers when she handed him something, a casual hand resting on her shoulder when he bent over her desk, his arm "accidentally" brushing against hers whenever they walked together.MoreLess
