anything to jeopardize that, I promise.” She stood. “I think you should leave.”
Alex stood as well, but instead of going to the door, he grabbed Jamie and pulled her toward him. Jamie’s breath hitched and a shiver ran down her spine. Whether that was from fear or lust she had no idea. Unlike when Stephen had grabbed her, Jamie now felt completely in control. Alex would let her go the second she pulled away, she was sure of that. Except, she didn’t want to pull away. Not quite yet. Images of Tara flirting with him, the idea of him drinking because he was jealous that another man was flirting with her, how incredibly sexy he looked in a white button up shirt and black dress pants… all of it flashed through her head and she kind of liked it.
His lips met hers, harsh and gentle at the same time. It held the same longing that had been there two nights ago when she’d wished so hard he would kiss her. She wanted this and yet…
Jamie swallowed and let him kiss her again. She deserved something amazing, right? She just wasn’t quite sure what that amazing was. Slowly she pulled away from him and stared down at his chest. He’d unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt and his creamy tanned skin teased her. She imagined running her lips and tongue over it. "I think you should go," she whispered, torn between wanting him to stay and asking him to leave.
Alex nodded and stepped back. "I'll see you at work on Monday, Ms. Connors." He sounded so resigned that Jamie's heart almost broke. Almost.
"Good evening, Mr. Reid." She moved and held the door open for him and waited until he left before she sighed and slumped against the closed door. He would never come into her apartment again and kiss her. She realized that now. That opportunity would never present itself again.
She wasn’t sure how long she stayed leaning against the door, sitting on the ground, until she heard a splash in the pool outside. It had grown dark. She moved to the window to see Alex in the pool, swimming laps. The water made his chiseled arms and torso glisten in the light that lit up the pool like a display. The sight of him reminded her of the power he always emanated, even in bed, and it made her blood run hot. She’d given that up. For what?
Chapter 7
Jamie crawled into bed. She couldn’t get the image of Alex in the pool out of her head. Just thinking about his body made her wet. “Get a grip on yourself,” she muttered to herself as she pulled the covers up over her. “He’s your damn boss. Let it go!” But the image of him swimming laps imprinted the backs of her eyelids as she drifted off. It didn’t take long to fall into a restless sleep where dreaming was her only escape.
She lay tanning by the pool, enjoying the unusually hot and sunny spring day. She smiled, happy she could now feel comfortable lying by a pool in a bikini. It seemed like the diet and exercise had really worked. Her stomach was completely flat and not even a hint of excess could be seen, a six-pack could be seen through the shadows of the suntan lotion.
She moved her sunglasses off her face and closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of the sun against her skin.
“Enjoying yourself?” Alex’s deep voice rumbled above her in what felt like seconds later.
She opened her eyes and sat up, smiling. “It’s the first day I can be outside without shivering. Figured I should take advantage of it while I could.”
His brilliant blue, lust-filled eyes slid down and absorbed all of her body, making Jamie grow warmer. “I’m glad,” he said huskily and smiled. Jamie blushed and then watched his eyes darken. “You have no idea how sexy you look when you blush like that.” His voice came out as if he were begging her to stop, even though she wasn’t even doing anything.
Jamie bit her lip and felt the need to rub her thighs together. She squirmed under his penetrating gaze, unable to breathe properly.
