Kayla rolled her eyes at him as he stepped away and walked into the office.
“I might say you werereallynice if you came clean and told Mrs. Jefferson that we don’t have a legal aid department.” Kayla shot back.
“I’m not saying anything.” Alex shook his head.
“You can’t keep playing St. Alex to people, you’ll never make any money.”
“I don’t need money.”
“I’m over here.” Kayla waved her hand in front of him because he was still looking at me, then she turned and gave me a quick wide eyed glance. “Don’t scare her away again.”
People still thought Alex had scared me away that first day.
Alex looked at her and gave her a big ol’ smile. “Yes Kayla, I can see you.”
“Whatever,” she shook her head. “I invited Summer out for a long lunch, is that okay?”
“This woman is the boss of me. She can do whatever she wants.” He answered and turned back to focus on me.
I seriously felt like I’d taken a turn somewhere and walked into an alternate dimension, where I’d found this gorgeous man who’d placed me so high on some pedestal that I had to look several levels below heaven to see what was happening on earth.
Again Kayla shot me a suspicious look, but was clearly amused by him . “Okay, I will note that for future reference.” She laughed. “See you guys
later.”
She sauntered away, leaving us alone. The minute the door closed that desire filled tension surrounded us.
I got up and walked around to join him.
“You left before me this morning.” He pointed out.
I purposely left super early.
It was going to be a busy day. That was one reason, but not the first. I kind of just wanted to start the day without tension, so I’d have a clearer mind.
“I wanted to get a head start.”
“Oh really?” A muscle quivered at his jaw. His gray eyes beheld me sharp and assessing, but with a sheen of purpose.
“Yes.”
“So you aren’t avoiding me?”
“I don’t think I can.” That was probably the most I’d ever said in line with this thing we seemed to have going between us.
Alex seemed happy with that answer. He stepped closer into the sunlight that spilled through the window. It reflected off his eyes making them so much lighter. I allowed myself the moment to appreciate his beauty.
His large hands took my face, holding it gently and he drew near. Close enough to kiss if I dared and he did.
I moved back out of his reach and smiled. “You can’t kiss me here.”
“Here? Be more specific, angel. If you don’t want your lips to be kissed I can kiss you somewhere else.” His eyes roamed over my body and landed on my crotch.
Jesus the man was impossible.
“Alex.” I chided.
Liquid silver darkened his eyes with desire. “Summer.”
