Chapter 12

Milo

Sitting in the back of the limo on the way to the office on Monday morning, it felt as if the earth had shifted slightly on its axis. I had no idea how I was going to get through the week, and I was already on edge at the prospect of seeing Seraphina again. I’d already worked out what she would be wearing today. Monday, week one: navy pencil skirt that showed off her cute little ass and the cream silk blouse. Her hair would be up in that elegant, twisted style that always left me wondering how she managed it on her own.

I didn’t normally go straight to the lab, although I knew she would already be there. She was there before eight every morning, despite my insistence that she didn’t need to be in until nine. I’d tried to set limits with her so that she didn’t overwork herself and all-in-all she stuck to my 4 p.m. curfew, but I dreaded to think how early she arrived in the morning. She was certainly in before Melissa or myself, and she was always well into her work by the time I arrived.

I think one of her misgivings about us having a relationship was that she was concerned it would affect her job, which she loved. I promised her we could maintain a professional working relationship, and no one would be any the wiser, although I had no clue how I was going to achieve that. Now I’d tasted those honey lips of hers and had her legs entangled around my waist, I didn’t know how I was going to keep my word on that one. The first sight of her perky ass in that skirt and my mind was going straight to the gutter. I decided I would have to make sure I stuck to my two hours in the lab every day and not let that stretch to three or four, which had been happening in the past few weeks.

I’d spent a restless night thinking about how I wanted things to play out between us and how I should move matters forward. Despite her blindingly raw reaction to me, I could see she still had doubts about the whole thing. It was like she was teetering at the edge of a high diving board, afraid to make that jump. I’d decided that I would have to be patient and allow her to make the first move. It was going to be hell, but it was better for her to think that she was in the driving seat and making all the decisions. That meant not making a grab for her in any shape or form until she was ready.

As I walked into my lab later that day, I saw immediately that although the plan sounded reasonable at two in the morning, in the cold light of day, it was another matter altogether. She startled a little as I flounced into the room, which was unusual because she rarely batted an eyelid.
