Once inside our apartment, I feel the overwhelming tiredness from a full day of work. I haven’t worked that hard since the end of last year, and my overall health has declined since then. We walk to our bedroom, and I throw myself on the bed, kicking off my shoes. “This working for a living is no fun.”

Aiden chuckles. “Tell me about it. It’s hard trying not to call you into my office to take advantage of you every five minutes.”

“Oh, really?”

He grins mischievously. “Uh-huh.” He raises his eyebrows up and down.

“Maybe we’ll have to stay back one night after everyone’s gone home, and you can take full advantage of me on your desk, on your sofa, on the floor, on the—”

“How about I takefull advantage of you now?”

I raise my eyebrow at him. “Seriously?”

“No, I’m too tired.”

“Thank God.” My body slumps in relief.

He chuckles. “Thank God, you said, was it?”

“Yes.” I smirk.

“Oh really?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“I’ll have to do something about that, then,” he mocks with a large grin. Suddenly, he pounces on top of me, his weight holding me to the bed. “You’re in trouble, miss,” he whispers in my ear.

I giggle as Aiden moves his hands down my sides, gently stroking my skin. My body tingles in response. He slowly kisses my ear moving his way down my neck and collarbone, and I exhale at his touch. His strong hands take hold of my hips.

Abruptly, he starts to tickle my sides, holding me down with his weight.

Laughing uncontrollably, my legs squirm underneath him in an attempt to get away. “Aiden!” I yell.

He chuckles with amusement. “I told you, you were in trouble.”

“Aiden, stop!” I say, laughing.

He stops, gently moving in to kiss me.

“Thank God,” I say again cheekily.

He tuts and shakes his head. “You never learn, do you?” A smile beams across his face as he tickles me again, this time, taking his weight off me and rolling me on top of him. He stops tickling and holds me tightly. My arms rest on either side of his head while he moves in for yet another kiss, then he sets me down on the bed next to him.

Eventually, we both get up and change into something more comfortable—me into a little flowing black negligee and him into running shorts.

“Hmm… I like you in that, but I’ll enjoy you out of it later,” he teases with his eyebrows raised.

“I like you in or out of anything.” I giggle as I walk into the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, he follows and takes the television remote and turns it on. Sitting next to him, propping my back up on some cushions, I place my legs on his lap. He immediately takes my feet and begins massaging them.

“Mmm, I could get used to this.”

The evening news starts, though I’m not watching. I’m enjoying my foot rub and feel myself beginning to relax when the news reporter catches my attention.

The financial corporation, O’Connell Finance, has finally caught the embezzler of the ten million dollars stolen from their company. Mr. Matthew Jones and his accomplice, Miss Rachelle Sanderson, were arrested today and are currently in custody awaiting a trial date.

Their lawyer is claiming Mr. Jones will plead insanity while the depth of Miss Sanderson’s role in the scheme has not yet been determined.
