obviously at some point she liked you.”
He scoffed. “Yeah, well, a lot can change in a year, apparently.” Mostly what had changed was that River was an insufferable prick.
“What did you do?”
He opened his mouth to proclaim his innocence then shut it. “She said she called and sent the divorce papers over and I never responded, but, Dean, I never got the calls or the papers.”
Dean chuckled. “That’s why you should hire assistants based on capability not cup size.”
“And I may have tried to strong arm her into going to dinner with me and Bobby Lee.”
“And I’m guessing she’s not the type to be strong armed?”
“Hell Dean, she’s more likely to strong arm me. At least if she wanted anything from me.” He smiled to himself; she wanted one thing from him.
“You slept with her again?”
River groaned. “Dean if you could see her, she is spectacular with red hair and so many curves it should be illegal.”
“Sir, is River in there with you? He has a guest.”
Dean smiled and hit the button before River could get to it. “Send the guest into my office.” He looked to his cousin who squirmed uncomfortably. “I guess I’ll get to see her now.”
A tiny knock later and Kara walked into the office, an angry glare for River. “Hello, Mr. Harwood, I’m sorry to disturb your day, but we have a bit of business to settle and then I’ll be out of your hair.” She smiled and extended a hand to Dean.
“No worries. My cousin was just explaining about your nuptials. Congratulations.”
Kara said nothing to Dean, just kept her face blank. At least until she turned to River. “No wonder you thought I was trying to extort you,” she shook her head in disgust.
“You mean you didn’t kn-,”
Kara cut him off and slammed a manila envelope down on the desk in front of him. “Here are the divorce papers, again . You can sign them now and I’ll file them on my way back to the salon.”
“No.” He crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air like a petulant child.
“Excuse me? What the hell do you mean no? Sign the damn papers, River!”
Dean chuckled and they both cast a death look in his direction. “Sorry,” he held his hands up, a smile still stuck to his face.
“I’m not signing anything. I need you for my meeting with Bobby Lee and-”
“What a ridiculous name,” she mumbled and shoved a pen in his hand.
River let the pen slide from his fingers. “And you might be pregnant.”
“What!” Dean leaned forward and glared at River. “What’s wrong with you?”
Kara scoffed. “You’re related to him so you must already know, so please enlighten me.” She picked the pen back up and closed his hand around it.
Dean laughed. “I like her. I like you, you’re funny.”
“Yeah thanks.” She rolled her eyes. The Harwood family definitely grew men tall and handsome, and Dean was nowhere near as annoying as River. Or as hot, dammit. “River, sign the papers. I told you I went to the pharmacy in Loving to get the morning after pill.”
He dropped the pen again. “Yeah, well, I happen to know they were all out.” At her stunned look he told her, “No pharmacist-customer confidentiality.”
“Jackass.”
Dean stood and placed his hands on his hips. “I have an idea. River, you sign the papers and I’ll hang on to them until Kara has dinner with you and Bobby Lee.”
“And I’m supposed to trust you?” Kara looked back and forth between them. She was sure they were both up to something, but what? Being married to her wasn’t really a boon to his career, so it made no sense.
“I’m a trustworthy guy, ask anyone.”
She laughed but it held no amusement. “Sure I’ll ask someone in this building, ‘hey can I trust either of the Harwoods?’ I can imagine how that’ll go.” She put on a fake high-pitched voice, “Oh yes, they sign checks in the most delightful way. I’d give’em my kidney if I could!” She shook her head to let them know she was
