A low growl resonated from deep in his chest and a scowl rested on the handsome features of his face.
The phone continued to ring and he stayed there with me. It rang out and then started up again much to his annoyance.
“I’ll be back. Please stay.” He moved to the lounge giving me a great view of his firm ass in those boxers.
With him gone I got the chance to think and damn it, reality crept back in.
Who was I kidding? I couldn’t stay.

Last night was amazing, but I had my life to sort out.
I had to fix me. That part of me that was broken and affected by losing my father, and yes Tom and Becca.
I wasn’t ready for a man in my life. Not even to play with.
The mission was to get my life back on track and that had to be focused on the one constant in my life.
My career. So I needed this job.
On that thought I left.
Leaving behind the only man who’d ever blown my mind, rocked my world and made me feel like a goddess.
Alex Sullivan.
Was I crazy?
Maybe.
