Page 43 of Alex

She sucks her lower lip between her teeth before glancing back at her computer. “If I can have total concentration, I should be able to finish in ten minutes.”

I stare at her determined face. “Fine, but I’m staying here to make sure you come to bed in ten minutes.”

She nods her head and gets back to work as I plop down in the chair across from her desk.

When she strains her eyes to read something offa piece of paper, I get up to help her. “How about you tell me what information you need, and I’ll read it to you?”

“That would be helpful, thank you.” She turns her gaze back to the computer screen and says, “I need the bank name, address, and phone number.”

I find the information Elise needs and recite it for her.

After a few moments of typing, she asks, “What’s the bank routing and account numbers?”

Once again, I find the information she needs and recite it for her.

It takes thirteen minutes, but she finishes the contract and saves the document before emailing it over to Dad’s lawyer.

She stretches her arms above her head as she sits up straighter. “There, all done.”

The sigh that comes from her mouth is sexy and makes my dick hard, but she needs sleep.

I wait for her to shut down her computer before grabbing her hand and leading her downstairs to my room.

Dimming the room lights, I take off my shirt and lay down on the couch while Elise heads into my bathroom to change into her pajamas. The bathroom door clicks open and I sit up to see her climb in between my sheets.

I have to fight the urge to go over to her as her long blonde hair spreads across my pillow. I’ve never seen a more beautiful and sexy sight in all my years.

Taking one last long glance at her, I reach over and turn off the light.

I fluff my pillow and scoot down on the couch to get comfortable before pulling the cover over the lower half of my body.

Elise calls out. “Alex.”

Her voice is quiet, barely above a whisper. “I don’t want to keep putting you out. I appreciate you sharing your room and your bed, but you deserve a good night’s sleep as well.”

It could be the lack of sleep talking for her, or her genuinely caring personality, but I don’t want her feeling guilty. Especially on my account.

“I don’t mind sleeping on my couch. There’s plenty of room, so don’t worry. You need the rest and a solid night of sleep since you are working too many hours.”

“You can come sleep in your bed. I won’t bite. Plus, I’ll probably be back up in a few hours, anyway.”

I feel torn, like my heart and mind are being pulled in two separate directions. I miss my bed, but the thought of sleeping so close to her with our bodies pushed against each other makes my dick harder than steel.

“Alex?” she asks with uncertainty laced in her tone.

I clear my throat and sit up to look at her. It might be dark, but I know exactly where she is. “Okay, if you insist, but only if you’re sure me being in bed with you won’t hinder your sleep.”

It might hinder my own sleep, but I’m not going to complain or pass up the opportunity to have her in my arms all night.

“I’m sure. Now come to bed.”

She sounds way too happy, but my dick doesn’t care. It jumps with excitement, eager to be close to her again.

Not tonight.

I scold myself before climbing under the covers.

Even in the dark, with the glow of the clock, I can see her looking at me with her crystal blue eyes. The cover is tucked under her breasts, pushing them up, like they are being served on a silver platter just for me.
