“No, I’ll stay for some dinner and then leave by nine.”
“You’re no fun.”
The door opened, and one of the legal assistants came in to retrieve a law book. Xander separated himself from Ava before she saw them together. When the assistant left, he quickly kissed her and left the room.
Ava was excited about seeing Xander tonight. Maybe she could seduce him into making love to her. She wanted him and had for many months. Though David and Luca were good in bed, they were not Xander. She needed him.
She finished her work by 4:00 PM and went to Jacob’s office. When she entered, Xander was standing at Jacob’s desk looking at an electronic file. He had his sleeves rolled up, and his sexy tanned forearms were exposed. She loved it when he was casual. He thanked Jacob and left the office letting his fingers brush Ava’s arm as he did. She felt shocks go through her at his touch.
“Close the door; I need to speak to you.”
She put the folders she had been carrying down on his desk and closed the door. Before she sat down, he blurted out what he wanted to tell you.
“My father and Peter feel that Xander should also work on this case with me. I know you have issues with him, but you will have to deal with them because you’ll be working for both of us. Can you handle it or should I have them assign another assistant?”
“I’ll be fine. I think I can put my differences aside to work with him as long as he can.”
Inside she was bursting with joy. She would be able to work with him and see him daily without anyone knowing they truly were back together. This would need to be the best acting she ever did. She nearly buzzed out of the building to get ready for Xander to come for dinner. He had told her he wanted to order from Soul Burger. He had been craving their food and hadn’t eaten it in over two years. She had placed the order to arrive at around the same time he did. The front desk called her, and as she paid for the meal, Xander walked through the building door.
He took the bags from her, and they got in the elevator. He held her to him and kissed the top of her head. He was dressed in jeans, a sweater, and his dark blue pea coat. She loved feeling him against her.
Xander ate of the majority of the food. Ava was still trying to eat healthily; burgers, fries, and onion rings were not on her menu. They cleaned up after they were finished and sat on the couch.
Riley and Boomer had jumped up to sit near him, and he petted them telling her he couldn’t believe how big Boomer had gotten. The last time he saw the red ball of fur, he was a kitten. He played with them until Ava removed them from his lap and placed herself there. She began kissing his face and neck as her hands slipped under his sweater.
“Ava, what are you doing?”
“Loving you.”
“I think you are trying to seduce me.”
She looked at him with a smile on her face.
“I think it’s time for me to go.”
“It’s only 7:30. You can’t leave yet. You said you would leave at nine.”
“I will if you stop pawing me. We can kiss, but that’s it.”
Ava groaned. “You’re serious about not having sex?”
“Yes, I am. So it’s kissing or nothing.”
She pressed her lips to his and began sucking on his bottom lip. Her tongue probed his mouth and flicked against his until they were rubbing them together. He sucked on her tongue, and then his lips trailed against her cheek and down to her neck. The effect of his kissing was making her wet, and she could feel how hard he was against her.
Her hand slipped in between them, and he grabbed it.
“No, Ava.”
She pulled away from him out of breath. “I’m going to be doing a lot of masturbating if this is the way we are going to be each night. What happens when we start sleeping at each other’s place.”
“Nothing. We can sleep in bed together without having sex.”
“This is worse than being apart. I’m with you, but I can’t have you.”
He shut her up by pressing his lips against hers. This was the way it went each night for the rest of the week. He would get her heated and then go home for the night leaving her to use her vibrator night after night.
It was no better for him. He walked out the door hiding his erection with his coat. Each night, he would jerk off in the guest bathroom before he went to sleep. He wanted her, but he was determined to restart their relationship right.
