Good morning, a mhuirnín. I hope you had a good, restful sleep.
Then, before putting my phone down, I remind my assistant to set up a meeting when everyone arrives for the day.
Connor:
Jordan, make sure that meeting is set for 8:30 a.m. this morning so everyone can get started in the new capacity immediately.
Lastly, I send a quick message to my nephew.
Connor:
I’m not saying you were right. I’m also not saying you were wrong.
Stepping into the warm shower, I stand there for several moments, enjoying the hot water cascading down my body. My cock still hard, I wrap my hand around it, pumping myself. Images run through my mind of that gorgeous woman bent over in front of me as I plunge my cock inside her, my hand cracking against her ass as I thrust deep while gently teasing her clit. The thought of her coming around my hard dick has me ready to explode, the tingling sensation making its way up my spine just before I find my release.
Fuck, the way this woman has me wound up so tight…and I haven’t even met her.
I stand in front of the engineering team, going over the projects we have now. With a number of new contracts signed and an increase in projects, I need to find a suitable project manager to take some of the workload, someone already established with the company.
“That being said, I would like to congratulate Mr. James on his promotion. He will be a project manager, overseeing the latest contract he has brought in for Quellin and Associates. I expect the team will have a lot of late nights in the near future, so if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.”
With that, I stand to leave while people meander over to congratulate Mr. James.
My day has been relatively productive, going in and out of meetings. I’ve messaged back and forth with Hadley a few times when I had a moment. I need to meet her, and soon.
I walk into my office to see my nephew, Sean, standing there.
“Howya, boyo!” I pull him into a hug. “What are you doing here? Don’t you have classes until four?”
“Uncle, it’s five o’clock.”
He smiles at me like it should be obvious; I guess it should. This kid is too invested in his education to bail on classes.
“I had to see who had you texting me at four in the morning. Plus, you acknowledging that I’m right makes it so much better.” His grin grows even wider.
I chuckle to myself as I hand my phone over. There is no point in denying the kid. Even at thirteen, I will forever see him as the eight-year-old boy I moved here to help my baby sister raise.
“Whoa, Uncle. She’s beautiful,” he says hesitantly.
I raise my eyebrow at him, waiting for him to continue.
“But…” He pauses. “She’s married? That’s a lot.” He furrows his brow, showing his confusion.
“Usually, I’d agree with you, but something about her has drawn me in. I can’t shake the need to know her,” I respond.
My stomach is in knots. I know this could end in heartache, but damn. I have to try.
Chapter Four
HADLEY
I wake feeling so refreshed for the first time in a while. It has been a few days since I’ve seen Andy. Since he started dating Naomi, one of his coworkers, he has spent most nights with her. We have had maybe one Friday date night since our anniversary four months ago. It makes me nauseous thinking about it.
Today, though, I woke up with a new determination. I may have left my job to decrease stress so we could have a baby, but obviously that is low on Andy’s priority list now. I miss teaching, and with our current relationship—or lack thereof—I decide to call a friend that just so happens to be a principal at Central Falls Elementary…and voilà! I am now Hadley James, substitute teacher extraordinaire. It won’t be daily, but it’s a start to return to my passion.
With Andy being less invested in our marriage at this point, I make the decision to get back on birth control too. My appointment is for later in the afternoon, so I spend my morning straightening up while listening to Avril Lavigne.
I’m belting out the words to “Complicated” when I get a notification on my phone. Checking it, I feel a smile spread across my face.
