Who's the Boss Now

"You're insatiable." She ran her fingers down his shoulders and over his back as he reached her and pressed against her.

"Only with you." He moved up to gaze down at her. With his elbows pressed to the bed on either side of her head, his brushed her hair back lovingly and let his eyes move across her. "I thought I'd lost you. I still want to apologize a million times. To make things perfectly right between us."

"They already are." She shifted before wrapping her legs around him. "The slate is wiped clean. We can start not over, but from where we left off."

"I want you with me every night." He leaned down and brushed his lips by hers.

"That can be arranged. I'll talk with your PA." She smiled and lifted her legs to wrap them around his waist. She pressed against his perfect rear and groaned as he entered her again.

"She's a bit of a tiger. Watch out for her. She bites." He tensed and rocked against her before tucking his face against her neck and sucking at her flesh.

"I hear there is only one man she's willing to put her mouth on." Jamie groaned loudly and lifted her hips, wanting more of him.

"That’s me." He moved up to her ear. "Right?"

She laughed and rolled them over, sitting up and pressing herself down the length of him. "Yes. You're the only he in my life."

"Good. Show me what you're capable of, lover."

"You asked for it." She leaned forward, dug her nails into his tight chest and let her inhibitions fly out the window.

It was a night she wanted him to remember.

Chapter 20

Waking up the next morning with Alex beside her was a dream come true. His dark brown hair was tousled from rolling around all night. Her heart fluttered in her chest as she carefully turned on her side and tucked her hands under her face.

There would never be another man who was capable of stealing her heart the way this one had. He was willing to believe in her when no one else would, and fight for her when she wasn't willing to fight for herself. To think that Stephen set them up to be nothing more than co-workers was almost ironic.

She reached out and brushed his hair back as his eyes opened. The deep blue of them stole her breath, and she tried hard to memorize every detail of his handsome face.

"Are you watching me sleep?" he asked in a gravelly voice.

"Is it creepy if the answer is yes?" She smiled and brushed her fingers down the side of his face. His stubble tickled her fingers in a way that caused her to stifle a groan.

"Not at all. It's flattering." He moved closer, repositioning himself against the front of her as they laid on their sides together. "I haven't slept this good in ages."

"Must be a good sign, hmmm?" She smiled and moved forward, pressing her lips to his softly. Something about being warm and cozy in the morning turned her on, though it wasn't at all the morning for going another round in the sheet. It was the final day of their investment conference. She was grateful it was almost over. Too much stress and time involvement for little return.

"It's a great sign. I have something for you. I'll give it to you at dinner tonight." He smiled, and she couldn't help but return the gesture.

"What is it?"

"I'm not telling you. Let's ride to the office together today. I'll do opening remarks first and then we'll move into the rest of the day where we barely see each other. Sucks, but it’ll be done soon." He leaned in, kissing her more fully once more.

"I'm getting the gift at dinner tonight?" She lifted to her elbow, pressing the side of her head against her hand as he got out of the bed, naked as the day he was born.

"Yep, and it has to do with our next steps. I'm ready to take a big jump." He walked to his closet, his ass beautiful to watch in motion. "You ready?"

"I'm up for anything if it involves getting to see you naked more often." She rolled onto her back and chuckled as he shook his ass before disappearing into his closet.

"Get up and get dressed. I'll meet you out front in thirty minutes."

"I'm hungry." She let out a quick huff and got up, wishing like hell that it was Saturday and they could spend the day in bed just playing with each other.

"We can grab a muffin downstairs." His voice was muffled, but she got the gist of his comment.

Getting up, she slipped her dress over her head and stopped by the closet to squeeze his butt with both of her hands.

"Watch it, nymph, or we'll be looking for a new job together." He glanced over his shoulder and gave her a smile that would melt her panties if she could find them.

"Yum. I'm almost tempted to put you to the test."

"I wish you would." He pulled a dark blue shirt from the wrack above him. "Go get ready, beautiful. I love you."
