Biting back her own smug smile, Kelsey sat up and yanked her shirt over her head, then unclasped her bra. His eyes flared as they focused on her breasts and his fingers stilled only halfway down his button-fly. Kelsey reached up and pushed his hands away from his pants, then finished unbuttoning them. She slid them carefully down his legs, anticipation and lust swirling in her belly.

His cock pressed against his black boxer briefs. She looked up at him as she ran her hand over his erection and he bit into his bottom lip.

“Iespeciallyloathe this,” she teased.

His nostrils flared and he grabbed her hand, pulling it away from his body and holding it just inches away from his cock. “Then I’ll be sure not to bother you with it.”

Kelsey’s eyes widened and her mouth dropped open.Well, that backfired.

Alexander chuckled, then bent at the waist and picked her up, lifting her to his torso. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, then looked into his dark chocolate eyes.

Her heart was too light, almost like it would float out of her chest if not for the cage of her ribs. The feeling was new, foreign. She thought it might be because of Alexander, but she couldn’t be sure.

The worst part was, shelikedit.

“What am I going to do with you?” she whispered.

Alex paused, his eyes searching hers. “Today?”

She nodded.

“Today you’re going to fuck me.”

She swallowed hard as heat rushed to her core.

“Because we both have the afternoon off, so, obviously, idle hands.”

Kelsey giggled. “And tomorrow?”

He tilted his head, considering. “Tomorrow we’re both going to pull off a rehearsal dinner while pretending we’re not thinking about fucking each other’s brains out.”

Kelsey bit her lip to keep from smiling. “And the day after that?”

“Same, except it will be a badass wedding. You’ll be praised all day long—”

She grinned.

“—but you’ll only be thinking about how badly you want to get back in here so you can praise my cock.”

Kelsey snorted, and her chest flushed with embarrassment, then she sobered at the seriousness in Alexander’s eyes.

“We’ll banter,” he said, “we’ll kiss. I’ll bait you. We’ll fight. You’ll beg me. I’ll give in and give you what you want.”

Kelsey raised one eyebrow. “You mean whatyouwant.”

“What webothwant.” Alexander smirked, then shrugged one shoulder.

He’d just explained their entire relationship.

Whoa. Kelsey’s heart stuttered at the thought. Relationship? Did they even have a friendship? Could it be called that? She searched his dark gaze. Whatever they had, she didn’t want it to end. That much she knew for certain.

He laid her back down on the bed, pointing to her panties. “Those are a problem.”

She laughed. “Do youloathethem?”

He nodded. “I do.” Then he collected his pants from the floor to retrieve a condom from his pocket.

Kelsey stripped out of her panties. After a moment, she whispered, “And after this weekend? When this job is over?” She regretted the words as soon as she said them, but she couldn’t take them back, couldn’t do anything but wait for his response.
