I lay down a little roughly, hoping my movement will stir him awake. Just as I get myself (noisily) situated, Roger’s eyes flutter open to meet mine. My heart skips to see the way he smiles when he first sees me.
“Well,” he grins and reaches out a hand to finger the buttons on my shirt.Hisshirt. “Nice outfit.”
“Thanks,” I say as I take his wandering hand and kiss his fingertips. “I thought you’d like it. It’s kind of your style.”
“Exactlymy style, as a matter of fact,” Roger raises an eyebrow and lets his hand follow the curve of my frame. He inhales deeply as his hands brush over my hips, realizing I’m not wearing anything underneath.
“So,” he says after he clears his throat, “Are you gonna accept my offer?”
Wow, I was hoping we’d have a bout of morning sex or something before we got to the heavy stuff. At least a cup of coffee, for pity’s sake.
“Ah, that,” I say, playing a bit dumb. I’m still conflicted. But, looking at him, the way the sunlight mingles with the blonde in his hair and his blue eyes fucking sparkling in the morning…
“I’ve decided… I’d like to stay. If you’ll have me,” Roger’s face lights up and he starts to pull me in. “Just until the end of the month.”
Roger frowns and I place a gentle hand on his chest, “just to see how things go.”
Roger grunts, but nods. “I’m glad you’ve accepted my offer.” He takes my hand in his and the fireworks start all over again. “I want to help you.”
“I know that,” I say, but I pull my hand from his. I can’t become dependent on someone like him over something like this. “But we need to set some clear boundaries here. About what this means, for me, for… us.”
I glance up to see how Roger is taking this. To his credit, he seems understanding, though still concerned I’ll run.Maybe I should. What am I doing here, getting all caught up in the guy who cost me my job?
He starts to stroke my hip softly, and I remember at least one of the reasons I’m hanging around. “Independence is important to me, Roger…”
“Hey, say no more,” Roger says as he puts his hands up in surrender. “I get it. And I know you’re good in business, so you’re looking for an angle here, but, I promise you…” he reaches for my hand and kisses my palm. I can feel his teeth against the skin and it’s enough to make me moan.
“This is a gift with strings attached. I wanna help you, Natalie.” He lowers my hand so I can stare deeply into those gorgeous blue eyes. “I mean it.”
Fuck me if I don’t absolutely believe him. How can I not?
I still don’t trust him fully. I’ve been fucked over by ‘the good guy’ one too many times to just waltz into such a proposition unaware, but at least he seems sincere.Genuine.
Maybe this whole thing won’t work out at all, and I’m kidding myself, but it could at least help me get my feet back on the ground while I sort out another job. Roger tousles my hair and slips his fingers down to fondle the top button of my —hisshirt.
God that feels good. Something tells me I’ll be flat on my back before I’m back on my feet, but I’ll get there eventually. I slip his hand inside my shirt and revel in the feel of his palm on my naked breasts.
Might as well enjoy this while it lasts.
