CHAPTER 8

Alexandra

My heart raced for an entirely different reason than the flashes from the paparazzi’s cameras, and despite having gotten somewhat used to their presence whenever I went out with Ethan, I don’t think I’d ever fully become accustomed to it.

Jesus, I hope the cameras didn’t pick up on the lust no doubt blistering my skin or swirling in my eyes. My heat still throbbed with the aftereffects of what Ethan had just done to me in the car.

Oh God, what have I gotten myself into?

I’d agreed to thirty days with him, just like I would have with any other potential date, but everything was different with Ethan. Our professional relationship made this way more complicated than it needed to be. He knew it, I knew it, but for some unknown reason, we both didn’t care.

My heart ached, and I took a deep breath to try and soothe the stress there. I’d made my thirty-day rule as a way to protect myself from ever getting in too deep again, but I couldn’t lie to myself. Ethan wasn’t my ex. He wasn’t like any of the other casual relationships I’d had since. He was warm and kind and perceptive. He was funny and passionate and yes, he had his own trauma he was dealing with—trauma I was assigned to help him deal with. God, I was crossing so many damn lines with this man, personal and professional.

I shoved the thoughts down, focusing on the ballroom he guided me into. It was similar to the events we’d went to before, only this one wasn’t just for professional athletes and their team’s owners—this ballroom was packed with all sorts of other social elites, celebrities, charitable organizations, and more. It was just overwhelming enough to distract me from the internal battle currently raging war inside my heart. And my body. If my body had its way, it would ask Ethan to take me back to his place so we could finish exactly what we’d started in the back of the limousine.

A tendril of desire curled down my spine at the thought, at the promise he’d made me.

Later.

I wanted it to be later so badly, but my mind cautioned me on that eagerness.

He’s flying to New York tomorrow for business. You’ll wake up alone.

A pit opened up in my stomach.

He’d keep you up all night until he had to leave for his flight, though.

That was my body talking, and holy hell, did it take over most of my rational thought. I could still feel the slickness between my thighs, coaxed by his fingers with an expert’s touch. His kissed had burned through me, his touch had melted me completely. I could only imagine what having all of him would do to me.

“So, he made you come.” Crossland’s words punched me right out of my fantasies as he approached us, that signature cocky smile shaping his lips.

I sputtered, my eyes flaring wide for a second.

Could he tell? Was it that obvious?

“I didn’t exactly have to drag her here, Cross.
