PLAYBOY'S PERSONAL ASSISTANT

Chapter Seven

ALEX.

I went back up to my room. It connected to Tera's room, but i doubted that she knew that. Once inside i stripped and headed straight to the bathroom and turned the shower on. I raked my hand through my hair as i waited for the water to get hot. I didn't understand myself around this woman and it was driving me insane.

I Stepped into the shower, the water so hot it scalded me. I closed my eyes. I couldn't get the womanly curves of her body out of my mind. My c**k was already hard, so I turned the water down in hopes it will calm me down and kill my erection. There was no way i was going to be able to sleep like this. I grabbed a towel, as i stepped out my eyes were locked to the door separating my room from Tera's. I thought about going in there again, but i decided not to and got into bed. I laid there and tossed the sheet aside, i closed my eyes and gripped my c**k, the image of her standing there naked in front of me, her hard n*****s, her shaved p***y. I wanted to see all of her, to take my time with her, taste her, lay her open and smell her and then sink my c**k into her until she screamed my name.

Her eyes flashed into my mind, accusing and hard, i pumped faster imagining her here, watching me, sucking me, squatting over my face while she took my c**k into her mouth and fed me her p***y.

I bit my lip when i came, ropes of c*m landing on my chest, my c**k throbbing against my palm as i squeezed out the last of it with a groan, knowing it wouldn't be enough, knowing this would not satisfy me.

*****

I woke up a few minutes past five. It was a long deep sleep considering my usual three hour sleeping pattern. I lay there for a few minutes, hoping if i kept my eyes closed enough, i could go back to sleep again. But that wasn't happening.

My phone buzzed on the nightstand, i picked up it was Jeremy. I tossed the covers back, got out of bed and pulled the curtain aside to look outside. Dawn. The sun would rise soon. Finding clean clothes i put them on and glanced at the connecting door before heading down the stairs. I had to meet up with Jeremy about another upcoming deal, and i rather Tera my distraction stay at home for that. I didn't need her confusing me with those sexy eyes of hers.

"So what's the deal with you and Tera?" Jeremy asked sitting opposite from me with a coffee in his hand from starbucks. His grin was alarming because i rarely saw Jeremy smile.

"What do you mean?" i asked trying to play dumb.

"You have to admit things are different with her." Jeremy was right but i couldn't possibly just agree with him.

"We have no deal, she is just my assistant that's all."

"Yeah f*****g right Alex," He snorted around in his cup of coffee. "I don't recall you bringing your other assistants to business meetings especially the out of towns ones and having them spend the night in your condo."

"I figured it would be easier with all of us staying in one place, especially since we are going to be moving around alot." It was a lie i didn't want Jeremy to see that I had a soft spot for Tera.

"Oooh really, so why is she not here with us?" He had a huge smirk on his face and for a moment i felt like telling him to kick rocks.

"I didn't see the need to wake her up for this, but she will be present in all the other meetings we have today."

He peered down at me still grinning, "She's just like the other ones huh!" shaking his head, he turned to the contract we were here to discuss.

I pulled out my phone and flipped through the contacts, i was in need of some female attention, i needed to show that Tera had nothing on me she was just an assistant. I picked one of my regular girls when am in Chicago and texted her to meet me afterwards. Tera was not changing me and i was going to prove it. I then went ahead and told my driver Ethan to drive Tera to the mansion and let her know she wasn't needed for any meetings today. I needed to have some time to myself without her in my rear view.

We went back to my Chicago office in preparation for the incoming investors. Jeremy had to step out for a while so i am now sitted in the conference room by myself making sure everything is perfect. I glanced around, satisfied with the result. My private conference room provided a business atmosphere, and the fresh bouquet of flowers that Jeremy brought in this morning that were placed in the middle of the table offered a personal touch among the plush wine carpeting, the rich gleam of cherry wood and buttery leather chairs. The contracts were laid neatly along with a coffe tray filed with a variety of pastries. Formal yet friendly.

After a few minutes of waiting, i was starting to grow Impatient when the door opened.

Deep blue eyes cut straight to mine, with little hesitation, i was expecting a Daniel, atleast i thought it was a He i was going to be dealing with. What i didn't expect was my ex girlfriend, the woman that broke my heart, Jean Cole, who i guess was now Jean Daniels. I recognized her gaze well enough, but age had changed the colors to a disturbing mix of aquamarine and sapphire. Certain images came to my mind, plumbing the depths of the Caribbean Sea in searchbof its mysteries. A canvas of Sinatra’s umbrella skies stretched so far and wide a man couldn’t find the beginning or end.

Her eyes were startling against the inky black of her hair, which consistedbof corkscrew curls that tumbled past her shoulders and framed her face with a natural wildness she seemed unable to tame. High cheekbones set off a

lush mouth. I used to ask her if she’d been stung by a bee, then c***k up laughing. The joke was on me. Hot male fantasies were built around a mouth like hers and it had nothing to do with bees. Just honey. Preferably warm, sticky honey poured over those plump lips and slowly licked off.

Ah, hell.

I reigned myself in and finished my inspection. I remembered what it used to be like, before she dumped me. I always thought she was too good for me, i was a poor boy back then and she was the daughter of one of the richest men in Manhattan. Six years later, here she was right in front of me. She was tall, almost as tall as i am,

and this package of female temptation came all wrapped up in a fiery red tank dress that emphasized her cleavage, skimmed over her hips, and fell to the floor. Scarlet toenails peeked through shiny red sandals. She remainedstill in the doorway, as if allowing me to drink my fill before she decided to speak.

Feeling somewhat staggered, i fought past my discomposure andrelied on professionalism to hide my reaction. Jean cole Daniels had grown up well. A little too well for my taste. But there was no need to let her know.

I offered her the same neutral smile i would have offered any business associate.

“Hello, Jean. It’s been a long time.”

She smiled back but it didn’t reach her eyes. She shifted her feet and fisted her hands. “Hello, Alex. How are you?”

“Fine. Please sit down. Can I pour you coffee? Tea?”

“Coffee, please.”

“Cream? Sugar?”

“Cream. Thank you.” She slid gracefully into the cushioned chair, swiveled away from the desk, and crossed her legs. The slinky red material

crept up and gave me a glimpse of olive skin, smooth and athletic.

I concentrated on the coffee. “Napoleon? Apple fritter? They’re from the bakery across the street.”

“No, thank you.”

“Sure?”

“Yes. I’d never be able to stop at one. I’ve learned not to tempt myself. “

The word tempt fell from her lips in a low, smoky voice that stroked my ears. My pants tightened a notch and i realized her voice stroked other places as well. Completely disconcerted by my reaction to this woman who had broken my heart, i wanted no physical contact with her, i focused on preparing her coffee and sat across from her.

We studied each other for a few moments and the silence lengthened. She plucked at the delicate gold bracelet encircling her wrist.

“I’m sorry.” she said still playing with her bracelet.

I considered answering her, but i had nothing to say. So instead i chose to focus on getting the contracts signed.

"I wasn't expecting you, i must admit." i said with a grin.

She parted her lips, then lapsed into silence for a while before continuing.

“Roberts is my husband's name, i took his last name."

" Ooh woow, i had no idea you got married." i said matter of factly, but a little irritated.

“ I am, ” she said, and shifted in her seat then re-crossed her legs. “ Shall we?" she said picking up the contracts. “We have no time. The plans have to continue as previously discussed with my team. It doesn’t matter if we get along. This is strictly a business arrangement. After i sign the papers, we don't have to see each other again." She said without looking up.
