“They have to allow you back in to get your stuff, even if it’s with an escort. And you need to get your final check.”

He rolled over so that he was lying half on top of me. His hand went around my waist and pulled me closer to him. He nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck and kissed my ear. I sighed and leaned into him. He felt so good, it was so nice to be lying with him in bed with no real clear need to go anywhere. I could have stayed there all day; seen what fun we could have. But if I didn’t get up and go to my office, I never would.

“There’s only one way to find out,” I said.

I rolled away from JD or at least I tried to. He only tightened his hold around my waist and pulled me back to him. I groaned as I rolled back towards him. He moved so that his mouth was right in line with me and his mouth claimed mine. His leg went up and around my stomach, pinning me to the bed. I moaned as we kissed and I could feel my body responding to him.

It would be so easy to stay, to run my hands up his back, and not leave the bed, but I couldn’t do that. I rolled with JD so that I was lying on top of him. He let out a moan of approval as his hands moved down to my ass and cupped it. I thought about rubbing my body over his, of lifting myself up so that I could ride him, but it would have to wait for another time. I needed answers and I wouldn’t get them staying in bed with JD.

Reluctantly, I gave JD one more lingering kiss and then quickly moved off of him.

He was so into what we were doing it took him a few moments to realize I had moved off the bed. By the time he did, I was already in the bathroom and had closed the door. The sound of his frustrated groan could be heard as I turned on the shower.

I thought he might sneak in and join me in the shower but when I came out a little while later, it was to find him still lying in bed. He hadn’t moved the sheet to cover himself and he looked gloriously and beautifully naked without a care in the world. He lifted his head from his phone when I opened up the bathroom door. My eyes immediately took in the wonderful sight in front of me and I seriously contemplated jumping right back in bed with him.

By the look he was giving me, I was sure that was exactly why he was still there.

“That isn’t fair and you know it,” I said as I walked past him and into the living room.

“What?” he asked as if he had no clue what he was doing.

I heard him get up off the bed and follow me into the living room. I didn’t turn to look at him but went to put on my shoes and find my purse. I was sure he hadn’t put on any clothes and I didn’t want to be distracted any more than I had been by him.

“You looking all sexy and desirable lying on the bed like that,” I said as I put on my left shoe.

“Desirable, huh? I like that,” he said.

I could feel him moving towards me and I was sure if he got his hands on me and his mouth on my neck, I would never leave the apartment. As enjoyable as that might be, it wouldn’t get me to officially close the door on my employment with Paps.

“Yes, and you know it. If you like, you can stay like that until I come home and then we can pick back up where we left off,” I said.

“You think I would wait around like this until you came home?”

“It’s just a suggestion.” I pulled my purse over my shoulder and turned to look at him. He was just as naked as when I walked by him in the bedroom. He was wearing a smug smile on his face, which only made him look sexier.

“One I might consider, especially since you called this home,” he said.

I hadn’t even realized I had. It was a slip of the tongue but as I thought about it, I realized he and his place did feel like home. The thought didn’t scare me as much as I thought it would.

“Are you okay with that?” I asked.

His response was to reach down and take his hands in mine and squeeze them. “Very,” he replied.

“Me too,” I said.

“Good. I’ll be here when you get back home,” he said emphasizing “home” and squeezed my hands one more time before letting them drop.

I smiled at him and resisted the urge to run into his arms and ask him what that meant, what we were doing, and where we were going. The look on his face told me that he knew I needed to go and that he would wait for me to come back, that he thought I was worth waiting for.

The smile stayed on my face as I walked into the lobby of my old office. It quickly disappeared as soon as I saw Georgia standing at the security desk. I hadn’t thought I would see her. I had honestly thought I wouldn’t see her ever again. Her presence only reminded me of everything that she had done and tried to take away from me, JD, and his family.

“Look who came crawling back,” she spat at me when I approached her.

“Me? I’m not the one who had to resign in disgrace. I’ll get another job, your career, however, is over,” I said.

Georgia waved her hand in front of her face as if she didn’t care. “Whatever. I’ll get another job. Daddy got me this job only because he wanted me to try it. I hated it. All the responsibility, the deadlines, the having to get up in the morning. It wasn’t for me. Daddy has seen I’m not cut out to work so now I don’t have to,” she said smugly.

“You’re a spoiled bitch, you know that?” I asked.
