Vomit and all things disgusting Alexis. This man was getting the better of me, I’m not sure I like him getting the
better of me. I do like it, but do I like him having the upper hand? I could
step it up a little and try and beat him at his own smirking, flirting and
groping game, but will it work? Or will it just fuel his fire? Is that crossing
the line? I’m married, he isn’t. I’m dwelling on this far too much, probably
because I have just had an emotional couple of hours. It’s easy, go with the
flow, but don’t cross any lines.
    “Do you know what it is you
are looking for down there, Mr Clark?” I opened my legs to allow him easier
access but kept my knees well and truly together, he gritted his teeth and
didn’t look at me for a moment or two. When he did finally meet my gaze, his eyes
burned with lust.
    “I always know what I’m
looking for down in this vicinity, Ms Summers.” He removed his hand from
beneath my seat and placed the headset in my lap, it took every ounce of me to
keep my knees together.
    “I should hope so, Mr Clark.”
I put the headset on, he burst into laughter, took it off my head, turned it
around and put it on the correct way, continuing to laugh and shake his head as
he closed my door. He jumped in and we took off for City Towers, as we
approached his magnificent building he circled it once. I shouted through the
headset, although I forgot I didn’t need to shout.
    “Admiring your handy work Mr
Clark? The view is just beautiful.” He spoke so softly through the headset.
    “The one next to me is better.”
I looked over at him in shock, he didn’t return my gaze. He landed the chopper
and helped me out, there was awkwardness between us from his declaration
moments ago. I followed him inside to his bar, he got two glasses out, poured
himself a Scotch and me a Gin. We sat down on the lounge opposite each other
and he handed me my drink.
    “You and your creepy
research.” Gin is my drink of choice.
    “It’s….” I mimicked his
voice.
    “I know, I know. It’s what I
do Ms Summers.” I raised my glass. “Cheers, Congratulations Uncle Bryce.” He
squinted his eyes at me and I reckon if we were a lot younger he would have
probably poked his tongue out too, he leaned over and clinked my glass.
    “Thanks, what a morning! I’ve
got to hand it to you ladies, that is a hard act to follow.” I laughed.
    “What child birth? Ha, that’s
not an act, she did a great job and so did you.”
    “I wouldn’t have been able to
do it if you weren’t there.” He looked at me sincerely.
    “Really Alexis, you were
amazing and you kept me grounded, that’s,” he hesitated a moment.  “That’s not
something I’m used to.” He leaned back on his couch, putting one arm up on the
head rest and the other one resting on his leg holding his Scotch. He looked so
comfortable, and so incredibly hot in his jeans and t-shirt, it was a loose
t-shirt, but due to the size of his pecks and biceps it clung to him in all the
right places.
    “Thank you, but it was
nothing really, it pays to have experienced it yourself that’s all.” I tried to
dismiss his compliment, I’m really not very good at receiving compliments, it’s
not that I don’t get them, Rick is always telling me he loves me and praising
me, it’s just I don’t think I deserve such sentiments for being just me. Now,
if I had actually delivered Lucy’s son, well yes, I’d accept the praise!
    “Oh, by the way, you have
Jessica scheduled in at 3pm, I didn’t know who she was or how to contact her so
I was unable to cancel, also I didn’t cancel the 5 o’clock meeting either.”
    “Don’t worry about Jessica,
I’ll deal with her.” He obviously didn’t know Lucy had filled me in on who
Jessica actually was, it was completely understandable that he would see a
therapist, what he had been through was terrible. I didn’t question him any
further about Jessica, if he was protecting his pride, then who was I to bring
that
