The past month was spent in lots of stolen moments, lots of car sex, and lots of dirty, flirty looks between us whenever we were confined to a room full of other people.
We fuck like bunnies whenever we find an opportunity to do so.
Kate is trying to warn me, but I’m not really listening to her, and I guess I now understand why she didn’t listen to me either when I was trying to tell her to slow down with Julius, but this is different.
What Lan and I have is not a relationship. It’s lots of hot, dirty sex with no strings attached.
At least, that’s what I keep reminding myself it is. Because if I am being frank, the lines are getting more and more blurry. And I’m about to blur it some more.
“Come over for dinner tonight,” I tell Landon after he just went down on me in brought daylight and thousand employees walking around behind our closed door. But that’s just what we do. Or he does. Surprisingly my Dark Angel is a very giving lover and doesn’t demand anything in return.
“Come over? Like to your place?” He asks with eyebrows raised. In all this time we spent together, never once did we go over to each other’s houses or spend any real time together without sex.
“Yep, my place. I’ll cook something.” Lan blinks a few times.
“I’d like that very much,” he says with such warms in his eyes that I all but melt over here on his desk.
Oh my goodness, the lines are not just blurry, they are getting entirely erased.
Two hours later, I am in my kitchen cooking a five-star meal and totally not trying to impress my not-boyfriend.
“Ummm, that smells so good,” Kate says, walking into the kitchen. “Wait, are you a hallucination? That can’t be my best friend!” She looks down at her hand, where she pretends to check her watch, which she doesn't have. “It’s not even midnight yet. Yep, totally a hallucination.”
“Oh, you are so funny, Katierex.”
“Wow, you even talk like my Lexitharus.”
“Shut up, idiot. I’m just making dinner. Landon will be coming over,” I say with a smile of a lovesick teenager.
“Ohhhh, there it is. It’s for Landon,” she specifically exaggerates his name.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing, you just stopped spending time with us, and you wouldn’t be home now if it wasn’t to cook for him,” Kate says, and I hear a note of hurt in her tone.
Crap, I’ve been a sucky friend, haven’t I?
“I’m sorry, Kate. I know I should spend more time with you. It’s just…just…”
“You’re in love?” She interrupts me.
“What?” I shriek. “No, no, that’s not it.”
“Aha.”
“I’m really not, at least not yet, but I am afraid it’s heading that way,” I say with a heavy breath.
“What’s wrong? Why are you afraid, Lex?” Kate comes around and hugs me. “I know I have been giving you a hard time, but if he truly makes you happy, then I am happy.”
“I just don’t want to be that cliché assistant who falls for her hot boss when he is just using her for sex,” I voice out the fear that has been eating me from the inside for a while.
“Is he? Just using you?” Kate asks with concern.
I bite down the inside of my cheek in contemplation. “It doesn’t feel like it, but Landon will never settle down. The word relationship doesn’t exist in his dictionary.”
“You do remember that it was exactly what Julius said as well, right?” She smiles a knowing smile at me. And God, I wish Lan would be like Julius, who changed his views, beliefs, and whole heart after meeting Katerina. But I know better.
He is withholding something from me, and anytime we have a deeper conversation, Landon shuts down immediately. I should press for more, but I don’t.
