As she sat on his desk, he looked at his sketches, properly stored in a cardboard wrapper. The flash drive with the computerized version was also there. Sighed. It had not been that day, but it would be in another! I would not give up!
The day was exhausting! Amanda was agitated, calling her all the time. She had sought her lunch, exactly as had been ordered. However, the restaurant must have been wrong about something and unfortunately all his anger fell on Alexis.
When she returned to settle, snorting in anger, since the mistress as always thought herself master of the truth and did not let her defend herself, Norah came to reassure:
" Do not call! Absorb and abstain! " hummed the mantra. " She needs sex!
Alexis laughed.
" Oh, but you didn’t just tell me about the ex cat!
Well, what better way to talk about that man than to calm down?
" Oh, God! " Norah sighed, after the very neat description of Ethan. " I want one of these for myself! No wonder she’s climbing the walls! Get dumped like that?
" She says she’s the one who got out.
" Go believe! Amanda may be beautiful, sexy, but who supports her for a little more than a few hours? But tell me! " she leaned on the table of Alexis. " Will you see this man again?
" I don’t know, and I’m not interested! " She made herself difficult.
" What? " the other one almost screamed. " What do you mean "I’m not interested"? It’s the first time I’ve seen you talking so cheerfully about a man. How can you say you’re not interested?
" Um. let me see if I can explain the points: the first of them is that Amanda Shepherd is hell-bent on getting it back. Do you really think I’d get in the way? Besides, what makes you think Ethan Marcus would have any interest in me?
" Darling, if you would stop dressing like an old woman, " examined the set of skirt and brown taller you wore, with contempt. " Loosen your hair and decorate your face with a little color, would have a line of men around you! Girl, you don’t know how powerful you are!
" Okay! I know you’re a giant admirer of my wardrobe, okay? " It was ironic. " But what happens, is that I don’t want a man in my life now! If this project works, I’m going to need all the time I can get because I want to jump right into it.
" It’s funny! Other women dive head first as you want and most of them find time, at least, for a quickie. Some of them even get married, you know?
Alexis laughed at her friend. Yeah, a quickie wouldn’t hurt. Especially if it was Ethan.
He shook his head to ward off such a thought:
" I know myself, Norah! I couldn’t handle such a situation! And I’m not… " lowered the tone, looking around, to make sure no one heard – quickie woman, right?
Norah smiled, rolling her eyes:
" I am! You don’t know what you’re missing! Quickies are invigorating. " and you’re back at your desk.
Norah had her perspective that was obviously different from that of Alexis. Nothing would take her off course of her purpose.
Alexis did not want to lead a life like that of his mother, working as a nurse in two hospitals, which made them hardly see each other throughout their childhood. He wanted to be a successful person in his career, so that later, when he had his family, he could share it. He longed for a quiet life, without worries.
Likewise, he obviously didn’t blame his mother for the loneliness he’d grown up in, he knew it had to be that way. Otherwise, Alexis would not have been able to study in good schools and later attended a college. He had started Administration, but realized that it was not what he wanted. When he locked plates, Rosalyn, his mother, gave him full support.
Until she decided what to study, she decided to seek employment to help her mother. She got the position of secretary in Charms of Landscaping and Gardening and that’s when she discovered her passion.
With her salary, she was able to help with the savings of the house and her mother went to work in a single hospital. She had taken courses and courses on the subject. It was the first time I had built such a large and ambitious project.
Three years ago, she left her mother’s house to live alone, under her influence, who said she needed to walk on her legs.
Today, she wondered if he had not urged her to move so that she could have her novels.
While they were together, she did not remember her mother having even a boyfriend. And this threw her the current situation: the much younger man!
Oh, God, she asked for wisdom to accept! She did not even want to know the subject because she was completely sure that she would hate him right away.
I knew that situation would hurt your mother, just as it was.
He felt cowardly for not facing the situation, but he knew he was not ready. I needed more time. Two days later, she did not believe she was in front of that building again, bringing another proposal from Amanda!
When she received the new mission, she was upset. First because it was not her duty, but since she had been silent, she consented. And second, and much more unsettling, because I would be face to face with Ethan Marcus. Again!
I didn’t know if I was ready to see him again. He was too disturbing. When he thought he could get it out of his head, his memories would be revived by his image.
He had not even told Norah about the event, for he knew that the other would be filled with expectations of which he did not need.
What the hell. It was just a man like any other, wasn’t it?
So why, before heading there, had he passed home, had taken a bath and had exchanged the light blue taller set for a black dress? Although the dress was sober too, but delicate and feminine.
He had had the urge to let his hair down, but then it was too much.
With a bit of luck, maybe he wasn’t even there. I’d leave the message with the bartender, as Shepherd had instructed, if I didn’t find him and leave. Simple as that.
But he was there. Alexis spotted him at the back of the room, on a pool table. Standing at the door, she examined him. He dressed carelessly, with jeans, a white shirt, and a faded denim shirt over her. Manly was the adjective for him.
He now bowed down for a shot. That’s when he saw her.
Alexis stalled, could not sketch any reaction.
After finishing the play, Ethan quickly spoke to his table mate. He left the bat aside and started walking towards it.
Ethan didn’t believe his eyes. Well, if it wasn’t the beautiful Alexis Morgan standing next to the door. It seemed improper. And I was incredibly sexy in that little black tube. Not that he would denounce anything, apart from the long shapely legs, accentuated by the not very high heels. But it made her more feminine than the outfit the other day.
Now Ethan stopped in front of her, wrapped in a natural aura of sensuality:
" You are back!
She sought the voice to answer:
" Well… yes. But for the same reason. " it was almost an apology.
He laughed, shaking his head:
" What matters is that you’re back!
What did he mean by that? What did he expect to see her again? That was not good, not good. Or was it?
They stared at each other. Ethan didn’t make a point of disguising his gaze. Even though it was nice to look at that pretty, embarrassed face. And there she was biting her lip again. If I had any idea how sexy she looked doing that. He wouldn’t warn her!
Unlike the other day, the atmosphere was very full. Someone more flustered, or who had drunk a little too much, pushed Alexis hard, and she landed on Ethan’s stiff chest. This one spread his hands in his arms to prevent his fall.
Perfect! Ethan rejoiced. A good chance to touch that silky skin. And the soft and delicious smell that detached from her hair? Um, how would you know if the delicate curve of your shoulder smelled that good?
Ok, it was all I needed now, to be nestled in it! How would I erase that from memory afterward? Under his fingers, resting on his chest, he felt his muscles well-defined.
If she wanted to, she could grope her chest, in an excuse she was looking for support. That would be very fascinating.
I could smell his aftershave. Very disturbing. Images of him naked on her body filled his mind. He knew that he blushed intensely and thanked the darkness of the place, which did not allow him to notice his state.
Hell! That’s what I got for not having sex for so long: daydreaming about that sexy god!
His eyes were attached to his neck, where a vein pulsed. Even that was sexy.
Slowly, he lifted his face to gaze at him, finding a faint smile:
" Are you all right?
He answered with a slight shake of his head. At that moment, there was another push to his back. Ethan wrapped her more in his arms and spun, switching places with her, to protect her from another blow.
Could you get better? Her hands rested on her waist, seeking support, her flattened on the female back and generous breasts glued to her chest.
Improve? Only if her mouth was over yours.
" I think we better sit down. " he strangely seemed to have fun. " If we want to talk. " he pondered.
Oh, no! Alexis didn’t want to spend more time with him than necessary. It was too tempting.
But he realized it would be ridiculous to refuse. So he nodded his head again.
Holding her slim waist, Ethan made his way through the small crowd until he reached a table at the far end of the bar. He waited for her to settle down and sat down opposite her. “ So let's get down to what brought you here! “ he asked, wanting to cut the preamble short. That way, they could move on to something more interesting. Alexis took the other envelope from the bag and handed it to him. With a sigh, he began to read. Seconds later, he laughed, shaking his head negatively. He realized that he loved to see him smile. It made her insides churn and the muscles in her much”needed sex contract. Badly, Alexis! Too bad! “ She doesn't give up! Would you like to read it? “ He held out the sheet of paper to her, seeing her look of interest. “ No. I don't think so. “ Why not? “ It's personal and involves my boss. “ Well, as soon as you gave it to me, it was mine. So I can do what I want and I don't mind you reading it. Alexis was still a little afraid. So: “ So… “Darling, why a
Caught surprised, Ethan staggered back, gasping."Alexis..." he called, making a move to hug her again." No! " She almost shouted, with her hand outstretched, preventing her from approaching. " I can't...'Alexis, don't…' he almost begged." I"I ... I've to go!" She tried to straighten her hair in disarray and walked away, almost running away from him.My God! She was at his mercy! How ridiculous! Didn't even know him!He continued walking, even without feeling firm in his legs, without looking back. If he touched her again, she would be lost. He probably wouldn't have the strength to resist.Panting, Ethan ran his fingers through his disheveled hair. I watched a desperate Alexis turn the corner, heading for the subway. How could she leave him in that state?Wow, what was that? What a kiss, what a mouth! A soft, fragrant body!And the way she reacted to him? He wasn't really as aloof as he wanted to appear.He now ran his hands over his flushed face. The kiss ended abruptly, leaving
" Oh my God! he exclaimed, throwing himself under the counter." But what...? Norah was startled, frowning.“Ethan! He is here! she muttered terrified.“Where …?”"Please, Norah!" Don't say I'm here! " begged." OK! – despite agreeing, the other seemed not to understand.He knew he would have to explain later. Many of them!Soon I heard Ethan's voice." Hello, good afternoon!" Good afternoon, sir!" How can I help you?"Oh... I'd like to see Amanda Shepherd."“Oh, I'm sorry, but she isn't there. You're traveling on business!" Same? How unlucky!He came to see his ex"lover! Clear! Not for her, but for Amanda! Despite everything he had said about not being interested, he came looking for you! After the kiss they had exchanged, he came looking for his former lover ."Do you want to leave a message, sir?""No. What I have to say to her needs to be said face to face!"" I understand.“But then… Norah. – he read on his badge. 'Alexis Morgan, she works here, doesn't she?'Oh God! He had com
At the end of that day, when she finally found herself alone in her apartment, Alexis leaned back against the closed door and let out all the agony she had had to hold back all that long day.She wished she could scream, but she just let the tears roll down her cheeks.In a rush of rage, he undressed, throwing the pieces in the distance.When she told Norah what had happened, her friend was outraged. He had said that if he had gone with her, he would have said good words to the Cobra! But then she soothed Alexis by saying that the other's opinion of her shouldn't matter to her. Only she knew about herself and reminded her that Shepherd's plan not to draw Ethan's attention to another woman had failed. It was no mystery to them that the man was head over heels for Alexis, regardless of what kind of clothes he was wearing.This even cheered her up a bit, and she laughed along with her friend.But now, alone, she felt like crap! That damn cow had hurt her deeply. Norah had been willing to
" You're so hot, Alexis... I want you to touch me, feel what you do to me. – he whispered, directing her hand to his sex.She was surprised by a discovery. It seemed so big, thick, powerful.Never had she wanted to hold a male member in her hands. But how I wish I had the courage to take off his pants and caress him!This realization astonished her!When he pushed her panties to the side, dipping his finger into her womanhood, Alexis gasped.Ethan groaned into her breast. She was so receptive, wet, and the way she reacted to him was driving him completely crazy with need.Cosmic waves washed over her every time he moved inside her body.Conflicting emotions ran through her head. It felt like it was about to explode and it scared her. He desperately wanted Ethan to stop, but he wanted just as badly for him to continue.So she almost protested when he withdrew."Don't go without me, darling!" I need to be inside you! " Ethan murmured in agony.Pulling back a little, he reached into his
Alexis stopped. Oh, God!! Would he have hurt him?" I'm sorry! " he whimpered. " I hurt you?Ethan smiled between a sigh, and she felt his warm breath against her face:"Absolutely not, my dear!" I would love to let myself go into those luscious hands of yours, but I need to be inside you, and soon! His tone was possessive."Oh! she exclaimed, embarrassed.Ethan chuckled softly at her. One hour a sensual goddess, the next she looked like a shy girl. He turned off the shower and gave her an almost chaste kiss on the forehead. He held out a towel.“Here. I don't want you to be cold.Alexis finished adjusting the terry cloth over her body and headed for the bedroom. He collapsed onto the big bed, his legs dangling over the floor.Ethan rummaged in the dresser drawer for the blessed condom. She took the opportunity to admire him. The wet body gleamed dimly lit by the light of the small lamp. He was bent over, so his back looked even broader. She wanted to run her fingernails through them.
Curse! Why did he have to fall in love with such a complicated girl?He turned away, deciding to get dressed for the gym. He was tired from the night's activities and little sleep. But I needed to vent all that frustration somehow.He remembered how she'd woken him in the early hours, purring against his neck, her body half on top of his, undulating sensually. He suspected she was still asleep when she sought him out, but it was enough to wake him up, and soon he was kissing her and plunging into her body once more.Then something in the corner of the room caught her eye. Taking the piece of black fabric between his fingers, he recognized her panties.He laughed, the frustration even greater. Ready! Now he would have a souvenir to not let him forget that night of delights."Damn it, Morgan...Alexis leaned against the closed door of her apartment. It was a relief to finally be in the safety of her home! Crossing half a city without lingerie was too disturbing. She had the feeling that
But strangely, that day, he didn't feel the usual excitement at the promise of a hot night with Heather.He realized he'd rather spend the night with the prospect of a surprise visit from a beautiful brunette with beautiful hazel eyes, a sensational mouth and a body... Oh, what a body! She wasn't the voluptuous type like the blonde, more the petite type, but it had driven him crazy, like Heather hadn't even approached him before.He couldn't believe what he was going to do. He had never refused an offer from that girl, who, incidentally, had her attention disputed among the men who frequented the place." Unfortunately, tonight will not be possible!The other looked surprised, arching her well"manicured eyebrows. Surely, she had never been dumped before!"I already have an appointment."Swallowing her wounded pride, the blonde lifted her chin:"Next time, so..."As she walked away, swaying all over her beautiful ass, Ethan hoped he didn't regret his choice.Night came and found a rest
