Chapter 11

Friday morning, the next bouquet of roses arrived, and they were not brought in by Maya or a deliveryman but by Xavier himself.

As he walked into her office, she straightened up in her chair and pushed a fallen lock of hair out of her face. “I hope that’s the last vase of flowers you plan on sending here. I’m beginning to run out of space to house them.” She laughed nervously, hoping he wouldn’t take offense.

He chuckled, running his free hand over his chin. “That depends.”

Taking in his handsome face and the well-cut dark suit clinging to his muscular frame, she sighed. “On?”

“Go out with me again and I’ll stop.”

She studied him. “Seriously? All of this to get me to go out with you again?”

With a sly smile, he shrugged his broad shoulders. “Hey, whatever works.”

“Don’t you have clients you should be working for right now?” Despite her efforts to appear upset, she couldn’t stop the smile that spread across her lips.

“Of course. But those spreadsheets can wait.”

She shook her head ruefully. This man was too much. Looking at him standing there with those flowers in his arms, she made a decision. It was obvious he wasn’t going to leave her alone. And honestly, she didn’t want him to. She’d give this thing a chance, but he could never know her secret. As much as she knew she should tell him, she couldn’t. Not now, anyway. Maybe later, when the time was right. Bracing herself, she announced, “All right. I’ll go out with you. Again.”

His face brightened with a wide grin as he set the flowers down on her desk. “Great.”

She let a small smile lift the corners of her mouth. He moved around the side of her desk, and she could feel a shiver go down her spine.

Leaning down, he whispered, “You won’t regret this, sweets.” Then his lips brushed against the shell of her ear, and the warmth of the contact touched her very core.

A soft sigh escaped her lips as he kissed her earlobe, the crook of her neck, then the underside of her jaw. Finally, his lips met hers, and she let her mouth drop open as their tongues mated and played.

When he drew away a few moments later, she was left breathless, dazed, and wanting more.

He straightened to his full height. With glittering eyes, he said, “Until tonight. I’ll pick you up at eight.”

Her mind hazy with sensation, she nodded at his softly spoken words. By the time she’d come back to her senses, he’d slipped out of her office and was gone.

The rest of the day, she did her best to keep her focus where it was needed—on her patients and paperwork. Thoughts of Xavier and whatever he had planned for her were with her through it all. She left early, around two thirty in the afternoon, to take her mother to a doctor’s appointment. Though she didn’t enjoy hanging around in the waiting room, she would be grateful to have something else to occupy her mind besides Xavier.
