respect your decision…for now. It’s late. Gather your things so I can walk you to your car.”
Wordlessly, Braylee stepped away from Alex to do exactly as she was told before she broke her cardinal rule.
Chapter 9
Alexandro decided to work from home until it was time to meet Braylee at her office. He hadn’t been able to think clearly since he’d left her the night before.
There was so much to do, yet here he sat gazing out of the window into his courtyard… thinking of her. Not only was she beautiful, but razor sharp and she had a ridiculous amount of confidence. Nothing was sexier than a woman comfortable in her own skin.
He turned around determined to get some work done. Only seconds later, after barely glancing at the most recent financial report, images of her face flashed into his head.
Instead of reviewing the report, Alex picked up his yellow stress ball from the corner of his desk and leaned back into his chair. He tossed it up into the air and caught it as it came down only to do the same thing over and over.
What was it about her? It wasn’t like he hadn’t dated successful and beautiful women before. But, there seemed to be this invisible cord pulling them towards each other. She’d never admit it but now couldn’t deny it either.
However, never in his life had he ever had problems with self-control. Yet, in the short period he’d known Braylee, Alex couldn’t seem to keep his hands to himself.
He inhaled deeply before exhaling slowly. Alex still couldn’t figure it out. What the hell had come over him last night? That was the million dollar question because he had absolutely no intention of even kissing her let alone making love to her. But, when she looked at him with those intense almost black, doe-like eyes, he couldn’t help himself.
Why couldn’t their initial kiss have left him feeling nothing? It had the opposite effect especially after he’d heard that little moan she’d tried so desperately to suppress. But, when Alex felt the softness of her lips pressed against his, it only left him wanting more. Everything felt so…right when he held her in his arms.
She was his lawyer plain and simple. Mixing business with pleasure has almost never worked out well. Braylee was a hundred percent right to set those boundaries.
Still, Alex wondered, did she think about him last night? He most certainly thought about her. And, try as she might to fight their attraction, even if it were only physical, Alex knew at some point that was going to be a losing battle. Hopefully, it was after they’d wrapped up his legal problems.
At least for now, Braylee was off limits. He would respect that. He felt better knowing she wasn’t dating that little Dr. Jorgensen. However, Alex still didn’t know if she were seeing anyone seriously? Of course, she had admirers. He knew that on day one especially when he’d dropped by her office and some schmuck had filled it up with flowers. But, was she dating someone seriously?
There wasn’t much information about her personal life on the internet. It probably wouldn’t have mattered anyway.
Alexandro leaned his head back against the chair and closed his eyes. More than likely, she wasn’t dating seriously because it was quite obvious that Braylee was married to her work. As if it were even possible, but that made her just that much more attractive.
She didn’t seem like the type who would be demanding of his time since she had a life of her own. That’s all he needed was some clingy woman needing him to validate her.
So far, finding someone who wasn’t looking for anything from him except companionship was like finding a unicorn at the end of a rainbow.
Still deep in his thoughts, Alex almost missed the small tapping on his office door.
Opening his eyes, he answered more gruffly than intended, “Come in.”
The door slowly crept open, and a small head with long black curls and very expressive brown eyes appeared. Cecily. Even through her
