A MUTUAL AGREEMENT OR CONTRACT BETWEEN TWO PARTIES WHICH IS VOLUNTARY AND INVOLVES THE EXCHANGE OF CONSIDERATION.
JAMESON
We barely make it to my suite before I’m kissing her again, before her hands are sliding into my pants.
The mirror in my foyer catches me taking her against the wall until she collapses, and she demands another round against my windows before I realize she’s doing that same thing she was doing to me before.
Being a distraction…
She’s now sleeping on my chest, her eyes shut and breathing slow.
I shut my eyes, trying to join her, but it’s no use.
Pressing a kiss against her forehead, I gently position her on the pillow and pull the covers over her.
“Jameson?” She murmurs, her eyes still closed.
“Yes?”
“I really like you…” She rolls over, and her soft snores follow.
Sighing, I stare at her for a few more seconds before leaving the room.
I head into my office, where her father’s cases are arranged on the edge of my desk in binders.
I can’t bring myself to flip through them, though.
Not with Scarlett so close…
Instead, I unlock my bottom left drawer and pull out my personal case instead.
“You’re cheating me…” Scarlett’s voice makes me look up.
“Come again?” I say.
“It’s two a.m., and we have to leave here at seven-thirty, right?”
“Yes.”
“So, you’re cheating me out of the time I have left before our ‘break.’”
The word ‘break’ hangs heavy in the air between us, and the look in her eyes almost makes me regret mentioning it to her.
Almost.
It’s the fucking truth, though…
“The break isn’t intended to hurt you, Scarlett.”
“It hurts already…”
I sigh and stand to my feet. I walk over to her and wrap my arm around her shoulders, walking her back to my bed.
I move under the covers first and pull her against my chest again.
This time, to my surprise, I fall asleep with ease.
