Chapter Ten:

Aaron

I had just walked into Bill’s firm when my phone dinged, indicating a text message. Pulling it out of my pocket I saw that it was from Mel. I hadn’t talked to her since the morning that she had mounted me in front of Jenny.

It wasn’t that I was mad at her, necessarily. But I wasn’t happy about the display. It felt like she was marking her territory in front of Jenny, but I certainly didn’t belong to her. She was a friend — albeit with benefits — but just a friend. I opened the message: I’m free tonight if you wanna meet up

I tried to consider the offer for a few seconds, but I immediately knew that I was going to pass up sex with Mel for the first time. I wasn’t in the mood tonight. I typed back a quick message: Maybe some other time, then put my phone away and walked to the elevator.

It had only been two days since Jenny had spent the night with me. At least, I assumed she had. She was gone by the time I woke up that morning, so I couldn’t be sure if she even stayed all night. But I had to admit that I couldn’t get her out of my head. She had been a sexy, confident lover and I’d love to go another round or two with her between the sheets. Her take-charge attitude in the bedroom had been a welcome surprise.

It had certainly been a disappointment to wake up to an empty bed the next day. It wasn’t the first time that had happened, since I was no stranger to one-night stands, but it was the first time it had bothered me.

I was sure that Jenny was concerned about the Titans and the effect this would have on my efforts to gain her approval. I had to admit that it complicated things because, for the first time since I had set my sights on the team, my resolve was wavering.

Don’t be stupid. Some girl isn’t going to come between you and that team. I had to keep reminding myself of this, which was disconcerting.

I stepped out of the elevator onto the floor where Bill’s office was. His assistant wasn’t at her desk, so I simply stepped up to the door and knocked. “Come in,” Bill’s voice called from the other side.

“Hey, Bill. You have a few moments to spare?” I asked, poking my head in without fully entering the room. I was relieved to see that he was alone.

“Sure. Come on in,” he said, standing from his desk as I strode across the room. We shook hands and he gestured to an empty seat in front of his desk. Instead of resuming his own seat, Bill leaned against the front of his desk.

“What can I do for you, son?”

“Well, I was hoping you’d reconsider leaving the fate of the Titans to Jenny,” I had a hollow feeling in my chest. It felt like I was betraying her.
