Alexis sighed to herself. She was tired, but as happy as she'd ever been. Ethan was simply wonderful! When he was done, he wrapped himself in a huge white towel and went to his room. He found Ethan lying on his stomach, asleep. The towel she'd used to leave the shower, still around her waist. Smiling, she threw herself onto the bed, with half of her body on top of his. “Ethan! No! We didn't come to this paradise for you to spend the day sleeping! He purred, barely able to open his eyes: " Half an hour! It's all I ask! You broke up with me! I need to replenish my energies... Alexis smiled fondly, stroking her unruly hair; " OK! I'll let you get some rest, but it's just time for me to make lunch, okay? He mumbled something back, practically asleep. Alexis placed a kiss on her cheek and stood up. He closed the blinds and adjusted the air conditioning. She went through the bathroom to get the dress he'd given her that morning, and left the room for the kitchen. He remembered to gra
Alexis laughed at the scare:"I thought you were still sleeping!""That gets even weirder!" He opened his beautiful eyes and looked at her. " Do you have the habit of staring at your lovers while they sleep?She then admired his eyes, which that morning were particularly intense gray:"I'm not the type of woman who takes lovers!" – she retorted, amused, finding that sentence strange. – In fact, before I met you, I was practically a virgin!"So I misguided you?" He propped himself up on one elbow to face her. – Look at my sorry face! A lazy, sensual smile played on her lips." Hmm, I don't regret anything either!"" What time is it? He laid a hand on her belly, stroking.“A little after six in the morning."And what time do you need to be at work?"" At nine...Soon he positioned his big body over hers:"Then I guess we have time for one more joke...""Mr. Insatiable!" She smiled, biting her strong, well"defined chin. – We have to get the house in order! " he whimpered.“About that, do
“I can't stop thinking about our Sunday! The memory of your mouth on my body..."Alexis felt her face heat up and didn't dare raise her head, so they wouldn't see. I knew I was as red as a tomato!“I almost go into ecstasy just thinking about it!” the message continued.She quickly replied:"The pleasure was all mine! And we can always repeat, Mr. Marcus!”Seconds later, the cell phone announced a new message:“That's what I like about you, Alexis Morgan! Always resolute!”“For you, always!” he replied.“I think I'm crazy about you, Alexis! I can barely concentrate on work, remembering the delicious feeling of being inside you!”She shivered as she read those words, biting her lip. Yes, that sensation was delicious for her too.“Well, fitting in with you is becoming an obsession for me too. Not that I'm complaining!"“Delicious obsession! I'll try to let you work, Morgan. See you at night! Looking forward to you!”Her smile became less radiant as she remembered what she was up against
“Wow, this place is spectacular, don't you think? " It was Ashley who said, holding her hand on the table." Sorry what? He looked at his companion.Having averted his gaze, he failed to notice Alexis's frown, seeing those hands resting in his." Better disguise a little, my friend! " Norah warned her softly. " That death glare you're giving Ethan's table, it's very obvious!Alexis looked away, reluctantly:" It is difficult...“But take comfort in the fact that you're not the only one. – the friend discreetly pointed to Amanda Shepherd's table, who didn't even disguise her deadly gaze towards Ethan.“At least I understand what she's feeling.That table was reserved for the Charms of Landscaping and Gardening, and soon the company colleagues arrived. It was Emma, George and amusing Matt. This one was a joker, he could make fun of any situation. He should expose his current one, because who knows, maybe he could find a way to amuse her, given that.No, there was no way to cheer up in t
Alexis was very surprised! That tone Shepherd used... Almost begging, she'd never dreamed of hearing that! Another Ethan Marcus effect, she thought, just before running off the runway!Hurriedly, he passed the table where his friends were:“Norah, I'm leaving." Why? Now that we were having fun!The truth was, Alexis was desperate to get out of there before Ethan left Amanda in the middle of the room and went after her."I'm tired, that's all!" She indicated the couple on the runway to her friend, who immediately understood."I'll accompany you!" Matt offered, getting to his feet.“No need, Matt! Stay!" I make a point! – he took the last sip of his champagne and offered her his arm. " We share the taxi.Alexis just hoped that Ethan didn't see the scene... he didn't even risk looking! With no other way out, he accepted the outstretched arm and left the place.It took a lot of flexibility to dissuade his friend from going upstairs for a last drink. She was firm but polite. The boy's in
There was no better place in the world than in the arms of Ethan Marcus! "Looks like we've passed our first trial by fire!" " he said, minutes later, in a breathless way, next to her hair. Alexis couldn't help but laugh in frustration, her head resting on his chest, listening to his heartbeat: "And it looks like we're pretty scorched, don't we?" “But I think we've learned a lesson from all this. Ethan muttered. He rocked her body gently. "And what was it?" "That we can't go to the same places while we're in this crazy relationship!" Because it's obvious that I get possessive... "And I'm mad with jealousy!" " But you look beautiful, enraged! "You haven't seen me in a rage yet, Mister Marcus!" And one other thing I realized today: I didn't know you preferred blondes! " teased. Ethan chuckled, relieved by the tone in her voice that indicated the argument was over. He grabbed her pajama collar: "My kind of woman, Miss Morgan," he pulled her so that her mouth was millimeters fro
Just over half an hour later, already outside the building, he took the cell phone and did what he most wanted at that moment:“Ethan? – I needed to hear the voice!" Hello, my angel! – she could feel his smile on the other side." Where are you? He tried hard not to let his mood show."Still in my office." Why?"Can you meet me at your apartment?""I thought you were having lunch with Amanda." – he looked intrigued.Before receiving a big client, the boss, and she worked every second possible to guarantee a good presentation. She had told him that she would have lunch with the other one, as it was customary. But that day she had been dismissed."Ah... We had a change of plans." You can go?" Clear! Alexis, is everything okay? – he sounded worried.She had to clear her throat to speak."I'd rather speak in person..." OK! I am on my way.Alexis took a taxi and in less than five minutes was in front of his apartment. He opened the big gate and went upstairs, waiting by the apartment do
The rest of the afternoon was torture! She had sworn to herself not to cry, but that lump was stuck in her throat.She didn't even have to say anything to Norah, because as soon as they were reunited after lunch, her friend just ran her eyes over her downcast face and realized what had happened!Grimacing in displeasure, he hugged Alexis tightly. It was very difficult for tears not to run down her face! It cost her a superhuman effort, but she would never shed a tear, even more so there, running the risk of being seen by the Cobra"Mor!"I'm sorry, honey, but we knew this could happen, didn't we?" At last"” She walked away to gesture to the other's room. – we are talking about that repressed one!" Yes, and I was very naive to keep hopes!“No, that's not it! You must have been completely sure of yourself, because your project is the most perfect I've seen in recent times, in this company! It must have cost a lot for the figure over there to admit that you can be better than she!" I do
