“We can’t…” I whispered between moans and kisses.

“Bullshit we can’t,” he replied. With one quick motion of one hand, my bra was hanging loosely about to fall off completely.

At that moment, I didn’t care about anything. Everything I wanted to do this past weekend was happening. He pulled me down onto the couch on top of him, I could feel him through his basketball shorts pressing into me.

A moan escaped so loudly I thought the neighbors would be able to hear.

I satup hearing Max clear his throat and Jason curse under his breath.

“Morning,” he beamed staring at us. Thank goodness I had tossed on Jason’s shirt after our third-round last night.

I put my head in my hands, I could feel my face burning.

“I’ll just be outside. Mr. Baxter, you have that appointment this morning,” he explained turning on his heels and walking through the living room.

I waited until I heard the back door shut before I got up.

Jason laughed.

“This is not funny.”

“It’s a little funny. It’s just Max, he’s not going to go tell the media or anything. Besides aren’tyouthe one that said he was the most trustworthy?”

“Don’t throw shit back at me like that. We never finished what we started last night.”

“I beg to differ. I think we finished several times,” he winked getting up and walking down the hall.

“That’s not what I meant, and you know it!” I shouted after him.

I made my way upstairs. I listened for when Jason and Max left. I couldn’t even begin to think about what that car ride would be like.

Maybe I didn’t need to quit. Maybe Icouldmake this work. Jason was still a dick sometimes, but one I was beginning to really fall for.

Damn it Sage. This was not a part of the plan!I thought to myself as I got myself ready for the day.

I spent the morning catching up on emails, searching for apartments and waiting impatiently for Jason and Max to get back from wherever they went. Jason made a point to block out his schedule but not actually put a destination in there.

I heard the car come through the gate and as much as I wanted to jump up, I stayed put.

They laughed as they walked through the door.

“Thank again Max,” Jason said as he rounded the corner into the study.

“Hey,” I noted barely looking up from my laptop.

“Hey yourself. Lunch is on the dining room table, come eat with me.”

I shut the laptop and followed him.

Max was already sitting at the table.

“Is this an ambush or something?” I questioned.

“Nope. Well, kinda not,” Jason said, “sit.”

I sat down across from where he was standing.

Max and I were just out looking at places for you to live, and I must say, even with your bump in salary, I dislike many of them. Max agrees.”
