Chapter Fifteen

Jessie

I can’t stop thinking about Jaxon for the rest of the day, the pain in his tone when he told me what his business partner did. My mind goes over the passion in his voice when he said innocent people, showing me how fundamentally good his heart is… despite his wealth, despite his success, he still cares about the little guys.

I knew this on some level from all his charitable donations, but the cynic in me cautioned that CEOs often donate to charity to stroke their public image.

But Jaxon wasn’t faking it when he expressed his anger at Tyrone’s actions. I could feel his rage, emanating from him, a near physical force.

And then that small confidence inside of me – the crazy part that tells me we’re going to have a family and a future and a whole wonderful life together – ordered me to go to him, to offer what solace I could. We held each other on the roof for what felt like forever until finally, the buzzing of his cellphone informed him a meeting was about to start.

“Later,” he said, a promise in the gruffly given word.

Later.

The word has bounced around inside my head all day, as I wonder if he’s going to expect more than a date. Or if he’s going to be patient and wait for me to submerge slowly into the idea of us becoming one.

I just can’t freaking imagine what it’s going to be like when it’s time to go all the way, even if my body pulses for it. Every time I even think about it, I feel my body responding, telling me to put aside my silly nervousness and give myself to him at the first chance I get.

How do you expect to have a family, a voice hisses, if you can’t even have sex with him?

I spend the day copying his notes, resisting the urge to stop what I’m doing, and run my fingers over the paper in an effort to be close to him.

When Jaxon was talking about why he trusted Tyrone, some of his words really stuck with me. Kind to his mother.

That right there says so much about Jaxon, about the value he places on family, on being a good person.

I smooth my hands over my belly, sure I can feel a tingling teasing quiver in my womb when I think about him passing on those values to our children.

As the workday draws to an end and I’m gathering my things to leave, I glance at the office door, wondering if Jaxon is going to send someone for me or we’re going to meet later. We didn’t make any specific plans for our date, beyond the fact we both agreed to go on one.

That’s probably why I’m taking so long packing my things into my handbag, delay turning off my computer, doing everything I possibly can to expand the time I’ll be in the office.

Is this needy? Is this pathetic?

I don’t know. All I know is I want to see him again, a primal pressure deep inside of me.
