“Yes, sir. Paul Pierson. I think he’s my best option right now. I know his youngest brother from high school, but since Greg went into the Navy, I’ve lost touch with him. Would you be willing to reach out to him for me?” I ask, sitting and straightening my body in the chair.
Mr. Coble’s index finger slides along his jaw as he studies me.
“I think talking with Paul would be a great start. I’m sure you’ll need more than just one investor, though. Maybe we can talk when it’s closer to graduation and your surer of your plans. How does that sound, Jaden?”
“Thank you, sir. That sounds perfect. Here’s my cell number.” I stand and slide a small piece of paper across the desk to him.
“Thank you for your time, but I need to get to work now.” I extend my hand to him again and smile.
“I’ll take care of reaching out to Paul and be sure to give him your number.” He stands and shakes my hand.
I nod and turn toward the office door. As I leave, I say again, “Thanks again for your help, Mr. Coble. Have a good night.”

BLAIRE
As I sit in the lobby bar of Hotel Imagine in downtown Orlando, I try to calm my rapidly beating heart. I must be crazy sneaking away like this to be with him. I squeeze my hands tight in my lap, crossing my legs as I wait for my secret date to arrive.
No one’s face looks familiar as I glance around at all the families milling about. Some are in line to check in, some are just hanging out. Older siblings chase younger ones. Moms and dads yelling after them to behave. I smile and thank goodness for my perfect Britney. I hope she’s having a good time with Preston. He insisted on taking her on another road trip. This time they went to Tennessee.
The summer has flown by much too fast. I’ve kept in touch with Jaden via text and a few phone calls. I needed to hear his voice to reassure myself that this chance I’m taking with him is worth the risks.
When I made the decision that I couldn’t live without him, we started meeting for coffee last month. Just once a week, nothing more. We’re taking things slowly. Even though every time he touches me, I want him to sweep me off my feet and take me.
Tonight is the riskiest thing I’ve ever done, knowing if we’re caught, I’m fired. Just in case that were to happen, I’ve prepared myself for the fallout. I have my resume updated. I know if I’m fired from my teaching position at the university because of my relationship with Jaden, being hired at another one is slim. I’ve been frugal with my money since divorcing Preston, and my savings can sustain me not working for at least a year. Worst-case scenario, I can sell my house and downsize. The profit from that would keep me afloat for another six months or so. I have a safety net in place if I need it.
I gasp as a hand engulfs my shoulder and a smooth voice asks, “What can I get for you, gorgeous?”
Tilting my head up, I smile and bite my lower lip.
“Hmm. I don’t know. Maybe you should show me what you’ve got. Sir.” I reach up and trail my hand along his forearm.
He walks around and stands in front of me, his hand open for me. Placing my hand in his, a ripple of pleasure courses through me. Wetness pools between my thighs as his warm skin melds with mine.
He tugs on me gently, and I rise. His other hand slides around my waist, pulling me closer to him. Our bodies touch. Being fully clothed has not prevented me from feeling his full and hard desire for me. A soft moan of need escapes me as I tilt my head up and meet his deep blues with mine.
He leans down, his lips graze mine quickly, then he whispers, “Let’s take this somewhere private, kitten.”
I slide my hand into the pocket of my shorts and bring out a keycard. Flashing it between us, I ask shyly, “Will this do?” My eyelids flutter and I reach around him, squeezing his ass. Fuck, how I missed feeling him so close to me. I missed everything damn thing about Jaden Lugo. His steel-blue eyes staring longingly into mine. His soft tongue licking every curve and crevasse of my body. His mouth smashing against mine. His long cock fucking me insane for hours on end.
I shudder as he grabs my hand and ushers me swiftly to the elevators. Inside the empty cabin, he asks, “What floor?”
I reach around him and touch the keycard to the black panel and press twenty. I slide my other arm around his firm body, tugging him to me. Hooking my leg around his thigh, I glide my hand up his back, to his shoulders.
“Kiss me,” I demand.
His open mouth crashes onto mine. Our tongues tangle and twist as we fill each other’s passion. He walks me back a few steps until my back hits the elevator wall. The railing is a thin metal one, so not thick enough to hold me. Luckily, the ding sounds when we reach our floor, and he pulls me with him into the long corridor.
“Room number?” he asks as he looks up and down the hallway.
“Twenty sixteen,” I say, pointing to my right.
I lock my fingers with his as we make our way to the room. Flashing the keycard on the door lock, it turns green and the lock slides open.
Jaden opens the door, then turns to me and sweeps me off my feet. I wrap my arms around his neck and toss my head back, laughing gleefully as he walks with me on him toward the king bed. He opens his arms and I plop onto the bed.
I scamper up onto my knees, then sit on the end of the bed and grab the waistband of his shorts, yanking him to me. He stands between my legs as I peer up and catch his devilish grin, and blue eyes. Slowly tracing my lips with my tongue, I raise his polo and kiss his abs. Each one tastes delicious.
