Chapter 8

Two weeks later

Alessandra dropped her Aurora pen atop the feasibility studies for each of the subsidiaries under the ADG umbrella. She sat her chin in her palm as she looked over at the secret doorway behind the bookcase that led to the passageway between her office and Alek’s. She bit her bottom lip, glancing down at the report and then back at the door as she stroked the back of her tight topknot.

The first time she used it had also been the last.

Is it still locked?

She leaned back in her chair and clasped her hands in her lap as she crossed her legs in the acid-green printed crepe de chine Valentino dress she wore, causing the kick pleats at the hem to open and expose black silk. For the last two weeks, it had been business as usual between them. Business meetings. Corporate luncheons. Cordiality. Distance. Pretense.

Like it never happened.

Alessandra lightly stroked her throat with the tips of her black-coated fingernails, turning from the hidden portal. She was an actress. Being around Alek and keeping herself from staring at him, touching him, or pretending her heart was not racing with the speed of one of his sports cars was a Viola Davis–level brilliant performance.

Was he giving a tour de force performance as well, or had that one night been enough?

If so, what were the petits fours about?

She had found them on her desk that morning, immediately recognizing the box from the bakery back home in Passion Grove. Through the day she had devoured the six citrus petits fours. Licking her lips, she opened the top drawer of her desk and withdrew the card that had been attached to the box. “Your fave, huh? Now I know another one of your secrets, Alessandra,” she read. “Enjoy them slowly like I did my sweet treat last night. A.”

She tilted her head back at the hot memory of him tongue-kissing her down below that night two weeks ago. Her climax had been achingly slow and completely mind-wrecking.

“Whooooooo,” Alessandra breathed, as her tiny bud pulsed with new life.

She’d thought she wasn’t going to ever stop climaxing.

“Alessandra,” she admonished herself, picking up her pen and forcing her attention away from memories of Alek stroking deep inside her to the reports on her desk.

And then there was the elephant that stayed posted up in any room both she and Alek were in. The next board meeting was in two weeks and they were expected to make the decision on who would concede on their acquisition plan. They had yet to discuss it since the board meeting during the Jubilee weekend. She pushed aside the report and reached down to pick up the bright red hardcover folder holding Alek’s report, sitting it in her lap and rotating in her chair to face the bright light of the window. She squinted in concentration, lightly biting the tip of her nail, as she read through the entire report for what had to be the third time in the past two weeks.
