"Not bad!" Needs some adjustments... " Shepherd commented, a restrained, minutes after examining his work.

"Do you think you could introduce Mr. Nakamura? Alexis twisted her fingers nervously.

Amanda laughed out loud.

"Don't you think you're dreaming too big, Morgan?"

"Well..." She was embarrassed, lowering her head. "You yourself said it's fine..."

" Yes, but I can't just present a project like that, from a stranger! One thing at a time, okay? Can I keep it and study better?

" Clear!

Not even that boss's air of superiority took the smile off her face.

The hardest thing was having to contain your expectations. At the end of four days, not a word from Shepherd, neither for evil nor for good. And Mr. Nakamura would not take long to appear.

Patience! It was what she asked herself. Patience! I had to be prepared for whatever came.

Despite trying to control herself, Friday found Alexis feeling her stress level skyrocketing!

    " Your apartment is very cozy! " he commented." Thanks! " Thank you, squeezing your fingers nervously. – I hope you like lasagna! It's my specialty!" I like lasagna. – he was vague.Now he stopped in front of the big window."I'd like a drink now." He pointed at the wine. "Or something else?"He just shook his head slightly, negatively, without taking his eyes off her for a second.She suddenly let out a nervous laugh. That scene seemed so familiar!" Oh God! Here I am with a six"foot tall man standing in the middle of my living room, and I don't know exactly what to do with him!Ethan smiled, devastatingly, shoving a hand into his pants pocket, scratching his stubble chin. Sexiest impossible." A kiss is always a good start. " suggested.Alexis returned her smile, biting her lip, and began to meander closer. Kissing him was what she'd been dreaming of for days. She had every movement closely monitored by Ethan. Then she stopped in front of him, having to lift her head to look at hi

    “Out of insecurity, perhaps. I was confused. He began to unbutton his shirt, kissing every piece of skin that showed. " I thought it shouldn't be there, " after he released the wrist buttons, the garment also found the floor. – And that the reasons that took me there were not right. – Now he caressed his well"defined abdomen, loving the feel of the muscles under his fingers.Ethan was breathing heavily, skin bristling, waiting for what she would do next."But if you really didn't want me, nothing would have happened." I wouldn't have gone on if I wasn't sure I wanted to too." I know it! Now. She looked at him, biting her lip sensually as she found his belt, unbuckling it and pulling it free of the loops. " But today, that I'm well aware of what I want, I'm going to unwrap you like a present... " He discarded the belt, the jean’s button was already open and when he went down to the zipper, he could feel his pulsating erection.He couldn't resist and caressed him, putting his hand unde

    "Am I feeling a sign of life?" he asked maliciously."Of course, sweetie…" He claimed her mouth again, eager, hallucinating.Alexis reciprocated, insinuating her wet, hot sex over the swollen tip of his sex. He gritted his teeth at the gesture. One more move and he would be inside her."Wait, my angel!" – he panted. "We need a condom..."Before he could reach it on the servant where he had left it, Alexis stepped forward and picked it up."May I do the honors?" – he joked.Ethan smiled shamelessly at her, crossing his arms behind his head, making his chest even bigger:" Be my guest!She couldn't resist and nibbled on his chest, taking one last stinging bite before straightening up. Alexis opened the package and then prepared to... put it on.Before, however, he did not contain himself and took his erect penis in one of his hands. Ethan gasped, rolling his eyes and throwing his head back." Oh, God! " Do you like? she murmured, biting her lip as she manipulated it slowly." Yes, yes!

    “It's okay, honey! Dessert is next. Besides, I'm beyond satisfied. Your lasagna was spectacular!He kissed the tip of her upturned nose and stroked a crease in her brow."Take that expression apart, or I'll have to take it apart myself." He wrapped his waist around her.Alexis tried not to smile, putting her arms around his neck:"And how are you going to do that?"“Well, I only know one way. – he murmured, very close to her mouth, just before taking possession of her.It was a long, languid, delicious kiss! Moments later, he walked away."Let me see if it improves." – he said softly, gently cupping her chin.She forced a pout."Hmm, looks like he's still there, doesn't he?""Yes, I think so, maybe we need more kisses..."" Same? " He smiled, before tightening her more in his arms and returning to explore her lips.Wrapping his leg around hers, he leaned her against the fridge and continued with his delicious punishment.For what seemed like long minutes, Ethan walked away panting."

    "It's Saturday," she continued, her voice sultry, pulling the sheet back slowly, leaving one leg visible for his delight. – you don't have to work, and neither do I! We can stay in that bed all day if we'd like to. She winked at him, her fingers caressing her own lips."I couldn't think of anything better, Ms. Morgan! – he sat down on the bed beside her, buttoning his shirt slowly, admiring her long, well"defined body by the thin sheet, and said in a hoarse voice. 'But Tom, my friend, the bar owner... well, he had to travel, and I promised to take care of the place today!' His tone was rueful when he finished."Um…" she pouted. " What a shame!" If I imagined that I would receive this invitation of yours... " He caressed her face, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. – obviously I wouldn’t have committed myself to him! But we'll see each other tonight, won't we?Alexis was thoughtful for a moment:'What do you think of my asking my friend Norah to accompany me to your bar toni

    " I thought I'd find you with huge bags under your eyes, because of the bad night's sleep. Norah nudged.While touching up her lipstick in the mirror over the sideboard in the living room, Alexis smiled maliciously:" But I slept... a little, but I slept! It's just that makeup works miracles!They laughed and Norah peppered her with questions that she was embarrassed to answer.When she entered the bar and saw him behind the counter, she immediately remembered the photo and blushed. He was grateful for the semi"darkness of the place.He caught sight of her halfway up and his piercing eyes locked on her. A corner"of"lip smile crept in as he left the guy in front of him talking to himself." Hello strange! – he greeted, stopping in front of the counter."Hello, stranger!" – he answered softly, still staring at her.His gaze was so burning, I was sure he was thinking about that photo. Running away from facing him, he left for the introductions:“Ethan, do you remember Norah?" Yes, of co

    "In case you ever had sex with one... or those two?"He parted his lips without uttering a sound, following her gaze but quickly turning away." Why the question? – she noticed that he was trying to gain time." Why do they stare at him, as if he knew him as I do!He smiled at the corner of his lips, teasingly:"Jealousy, Morgan?"Alexis huffed impatiently and repeated his words:" I'm possessive, and I take care of what's mine! This applies to me too! And if you continue to dole out those little smiles of yours to those two..." What can you do? – now it was he who imitated her. "You can't make a fuss here!" Remember the deal! he whispered. – For all intents and purposes, we're not together, and I'm just the bartender.He was deliberately trying to piss her off. And I was getting:" No! I'm not going to make a scandal here! " His tone was measured, not showing how he really felt inside: burning with anger. " Even because I'm not a woman to make scandals! You said I should behave, and

    A moan welled up in the back of Ethan's throat as she pressed her body against his. When her hands went down to his well"shaped and firm ass, pulling him even closer, making his erection rub against her belly, he gasped:"Wait…" He walked away, albeit angrily.Alexis bit her lip, staring at him blankly.'Honey, you smell all smelly and I…' He grimaced. " I smell like a bar! He took her hands and kissed them. " I need to take a shower to deserve to touch you! I promise I'll be quick!" OK! – she smiled at him. – Don't delay!" It's a promise! – like that, he bolted for the stairs, already taking off his shirt.Alexis enjoyed the view. His skin was dark, his back broad with well"defined muscles, a perfect inverted triangle! She bit her lips again, sighing! Ethan was so handsome, sexy!When he was out of sight, she turned and saw a large mural on the wall, filled with pictures of Ethan. As he got closer, he realized they were travel photos. She was surprised to see how many places around

    Seven years later...“Noah! – Alexis called from the kitchen. "Don't try to trick me, young man!" I know you're awake! She smiled and shook her head.Soon her little boy, dark, with beautiful and expressive blue eyes and curly hair, appeared. He was the exact copy of his father. Even the heterochromia in his left eye he had. He came with his arms hanging by his sides, dragging his feet and his head down. It was the picture of defeat. But it didn't move her. Every day was the same. And he looked gorgeous in his Buzz Light"year pajamas ..." Mom, why do I have to go to school today? – he retorted. " It's too early, it's raining, it's cold, and I'm still sleepy...“Noah! She grabbed him by the collar of his blouse, leaning down and showering him with kisses, from his rosy cheeks to his neck, where she knew he tickled. " Stop being lazy, boy!" Stop, mother !" – he scolded, squirming to get rid of her hands, while trying to hide his laughter and keep an angry face.With one last kiss on h

    She nodded in agreement, seeking support in her husband's arms, she braced herself." Now. Come on, it's almost there, Alexis... " encouraged the doctor.Ethan was all agony. He hugged the woman's hard body, holding her tight and praying to heaven that it would all be over soon." Ready! – the doctor exclaimed. – A perfect baby… And with great lungs!And then they heard the little one's desperate cry. And Noah was in the world. Alexis collapsed onto the bed, smiling, her body completely given over to exhaustion now.Ethan, as soon as she was seated, went searching for his little treasure.When his eyes landed on that tiny creature that was now wrapped in a towel by the nurse, he could never put into words what he felt at that moment. It was a feeling that everything in life finally made sense. That everything was complete! And that his love for that tiny piece of people was so immense, so intense, that he would give his life for him, without even blinking.Without realizing it, he had

    Alexis sighed and stroked her enormous, nearly nine"month"old belly. As usual, he couldn't help but smile. She could not even believe that she would soon meet her already very beloved son! And thank heavens for having the smoothest of pregnancies. A little nausea or other, but nothing that bothered her too much. Now that she was heading for the final stretch, she was feeling more uncomfortable, her legs more tired, her back that wouldn't let her sleep, or sit, or walk, but still, nothing could take the smile off her face. I was delighted! And seeing the happiness of her beautiful husband, every time he looked at her or caressed her belly and talked to her little one... She asked herself if she deserved so many blessings!Ethan insisted, as did Godmother Norah, that she stay home and rest, but she just couldn't sit still. Like now, when they finished an arrangement that would be delivered the next day, and they were already closing the office. When she felt that her body was asking for

    But I knew something was missing. Even though her adoring husband didn't push her, it was no secret how much he wanted a baby. Alexis also avoided talking about this subject, as he was still too afraid to go through that situation again. But every time she saw how much love he treated his little godson, son of Eric and Eileen, the more her heart sank.So, a few weeks ago, without telling him, she had stopped taking the contraceptive… And then came the main gift she planned to give him.Grasping the handle, Alexis bit her lip and slowly opened the door.Ethan looked up at her as she walked in and leaned against the closed door, hands deep in his coat pockets. With that so beautiful, sensual and beloved sexy smile in the corner of his lips, he examined her completely and slowly:"Hmm... Especially... And those red shoes..." His pretty white teeth showed as he widened his smile. "Can I take my clothes off now?"Alexis bit her lip again, throwing her head back, in a short sensual laugh, s

    " Excellent! " and headed for the stairs. "Because all I want is to take care of you!" You must be exhausted! " already in the bedroom, he placed it carefully on the sheets. "You've had a surgical procedure, you shouldn't be walking around!" He feigned an angry expression as he freed her from her shoes.Alexis laughed and stretched out her arms, beckoning him with her hands:" It's because I needed to see you today!Ethan also quickly got rid of his shoes and went to her side:" All you had to do was call me, and I'd be back on my own axis, to you!They stared at each other for a long moment, as if memorizing each other's faces. Arms wrapped around each other, bodies very close together. As if they were one." I love you! Alexis whispered, lost in his blue eyes. "And I would give anything to be able to make love to you…" She nibbled lightly on his lip.Ethan closed his eyes, holding a sigh in his chest.“What's a few weeks? " he himself seemed not to feel firmness in his words. "And t

    'It wasn't your fault, Alexis!' Ethan stated, exasperated to see her in that state, reaching for his hand. “It was natural. The doctor told me..."But I rejected him one day!" " she interrupted him, excited, fleeing contact. "And God punished me by taking him away from me!" And I'm sorry if I let you down... " he added in a thin voice, lowering his head."You didn't let me down!" He softened, this time clasping her hands in his."But you wanted this baby so badly!" She looked at him, dejected."Yes, but that wasn't in your hands!"Alexis raised her teary eyes to him. They looked desperate, anxious. And then the words came out:"Ethan, I love you!" So much! His voice was serious. " You have become the reason for my life! But even feeling this way and feeling this way,” she subtly released her hand from his. "I can't impose myself on you...Wow! What was going on there? Alexis Morgan had just confessed that she loved him? Ethan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe his ears!But

    Ethan turned as Norah returned to the living room. But even without the other saying anything, she knew the answer and sighed."You know her, don't you, my friend?" " lamented the brunette."How is she, Norah?"“In a deplorable state, Ethan! Of all the blows she's taken in the last few days, I believe this was by far the biggest blow.Ethan collapsed on the couch:"She was so happy lately!" This is all very unfair! he whispered, anguished. "I need to see her!"“Better not, Ethan!“Damn it, it's my wife, Norah! I have to be by her side now!"I don't think she wants you to see her the way she is, Ethan!" She is really devastated. Give her a break, buddy!He looked at Norah, his blue eyes even more intense. Then he let his shoulders tense and rested his head in his hands."I've never felt so helpless before!" I do not know what to do...The brunette sat next to him, caressing his shoulder:"You'll come out of this situation stronger, Ethan!"" It will be? I don't really believe in it...

    “She… how did she react, Norah?”“You're in shock, Ethan. She just didn't react. It went into automatic mode after I found out what happened. He let them do what they wanted, no questions asked. And I don't know if that's a good thing, Ethan!" Can I see her? He indicated the door."He's asleep, but I am not convinced that's a problem."He put his hand on the doorknob, but stopped himself, taking several deep breaths. Then he straightened up and turned the piece of metal, very slowly."Norah, can you call the doctor, please?" – the brunette asked softly. "I'd like to speak with him."" Yes, of course…Ethan walked in and closed the door, carefully so as not to make any noise. The room was in shadow. Everything very silent. But he could see Alexis's silhouette, huddled in the middle of the white sheets. She looked so small in that bed!What the hell! Your Alexis… your baby! He covered his mouth and nose to stifle an agonized scream. It would have to be strong! He repeated to himself. F

    " The baby? Ethan's question was asked very quietly, as if he already knew and didn't want to hear the answer.The woman shook her head slightly in the negative." Oh God! he gasped, as if he'd taken a powerful blow to the stomach.Then he would bend over, bringing his hands above his knees, as if gasping for air.“I'm so sorry, Ethan! " Norah came to hug him, no longer holding back her tears." My God! " he was too agitated to be able to stay in a hug, so he accepted the touch quickly and pulled away, studying his friend's features. " And Alexis? She is fine?“He's sleeping now. They had to do a curettage, I think that's the name. She's sedated now.“She… how did she react, Norah?”“You're in shock, Ethan. She just didn't react. It went into automatic mode after I found out what happened. He let them do what they wanted, no questions asked. And I don't know if that's a good thing, Ethan!" Can I see her?
