“What are you doing?” I wonder, curious.
He sharply exhales, focused. “Searching for a very important document.”
“For what?”
“I have a dinner to attend. A business dinner.”
“What?” My eyes widen in dismay. “I thought you were coming to dinner with your mother and I?”
“I had planned on joining, until something important came up.”
“And this isn’t considered important?” I argue.
“I suppose they’re both important.”
“No way. Absolutely not.”
Finally, he lifts his head, staring blankly at me. “Pardon?”
“You want me to go to dinner with your mother alone?”
“Interesting.” A crooked grin plays at his lips. “I had no idea you were the needy type.”
“That’s not funny.”
“You’ll be fine. She loves you.”
I purse my lips, scowling at him in silence.
His smirk fades, and he looks away. “It’s not the end of the world. I can assure you that you’ll be fine.”
“Oh, wow!” I sarcastically exclaim. “I needed that. Thank you so much for the reassurance.”
Within the blink of an eye, he switches to Dom mode. Standing tall, with his chin lifted, and his shoulders pushed back, his demeanor changes. Even though he’s in business attire, looking as charming as ever, those eyes are beyond threatening.
Jaxon Edwards is not a force to mess with.
Slowly making his way around the kitchen counter, he approaches me. My breathing quickens from the dominance radiating from him. He moves behind me, and his hand lightly rests against my lower back, trailing lower.
Mocking me. Testing me.
A part of me wants to be thrown over his knee.
“What was that?” Jaxon demands. “I believe I may have heard you wrong.”
Releasing a careful breath, I nibble on my bottom lip.
“Do you really want to play this game, Sasha? You know I always win.”
“You can’t. Your mother will be here any minute,” I challenge.
He leans down, his lips beside my ear. “Try me.”
Damn him.
“Thank you, Sir,” I submissively say, after gathering every ounce of strength that it takes. “For the reservations. Dinner will be great.”
His hand lingers over the material of my dress, until he steps in front of me, and lightly strokes my hair.
