“You said after Christmas he was the best guy you’ve ever been with.”
Well, fuck, she got me there, didn’t she?
“I did, didn’t I? Well, he walks me out, and I kissed him. I was staring at him so close, and he is so fucking handsome, I just needed to. Probably a dumb thing.”
“Why?” she asks, still not understanding my issue.
I groan loudly. I can forget my head if it wasn’t stuck on. He makes me forget and want to be in the moment.
“Because I was close to sleeping over,” I explain.
“Oh, then why didn’t you?” She sucks in a breath excitedly.
“Aria,” I remind her.
“Ah, yeah. That wouldn’t have been a good thing.” She laughs. And I shiver at the thought. Nope, I couldn’t face her. I don’t know how it works having sex when your stepdaughter is around. Is there like a dummy for being a stepmom book? Because if there is, I need it.
“Exactly. So I had to go home horny, but…um, at least I got one hell of a kiss.” I feel a flush run up my neck and onto my face, and I’m so glad she isn’t here to see me.
She whistles. “Good for you. At least someone is getting action.”
“Why, what’s wrong?” I ask, sitting up a little. Worried there is trouble in paradise and not being in the same state anymore has me fretting.
“Joshua keeps thinking he is going to poke the baby, so he doesn’t want to have sex.”
I laugh so hard and when I recover, I say, “He can’t be serious. Take him to your next appointment and get the doctor to explain it.”
“I will, but that’s a couple of weeks away. What do I do until then?”
I think for a second about what she could do, and an idea pops into my mind.
“Oh, I know. Get a toy out and when he gets home, he can walk in on you using it. If that doesn’t get him wanting to fuck you, I don’t know what will.”
“That’s a really good idea. So clever.”
“Glad I can help you. It seems you’ve been listening to my shit for too long. Giving me advice, so now it’s my turn to help.”
“That’s what friends are for.”
It’s different at the meeting today. As I drink him in, I admire the fit of his navy suit and white shirt. He stares back at me openly, and I can’t help but hold it for a few beats longer. I wonder if he’s thinking about the kiss we shared a few nights ago.
I drop my gaze to his big full lips that taunt me. God, how I’d love a taste of them.
Moving my eyes back up, they collide with his heated gaze, and it sends a shiver through me. I know he’s thinking the exact same thing.
Jason talking pulls me away from Marc’s face and back to work. Exactly where it should have been, and I settle into work mode.
The new concept we have to design is the top floor. It’s an office building, but this floor is the CEO’s, with a bathroom included.
I scribble any bits that Jason says without thought in case it has any value to our design later on.
My phone vibrates in my pocket, and I can’t look at it, but when I drag my eyes to his, there is a twist to his lips, and he lifts his chin to me.
He sent me a text.
The fact I can’t open it kills me with anticipation.
The meeting goes on for another thirty-five minutes and the whole time my phone is burning a hole in my pocket.
