Mal

I kissed her. As if I didn’t have enough problems in my life.

I was currently lying in bed, wondering if I could stay here all day. Hidden behind my bedroom door while she did her thing around the house. I’d heard her go out early this morning, but then the Porsche came roaring back not an hour later.

Now, she was downstairs in the kitchen. I was probably missing something amazing for breakfast.

A frittata?

Don’t think about the food.

It was a strange sort of morphing that had happened, where I’d put all my denied sexual energy into her food.

I didn’t want to kiss her, I wanted to eat her cake.

I didn’t want to take a bite out of her, I wanted to taste her curry.

I didn’t want to taste her nipples, I wanted to lick her ice cream.

That sounded too dirty.

It was how I justified having sexual feelings for the first time in two years for someone who was ten years my junior, an employee with absolutely no power in this particular dynamic.

Although that didn’t sound right. Jolie had plenty of power.

In the past few months, she’d been my lifeline back to reality. She’d connected me to the human race once more. She’d been a friend, a confidant. She’d been the first person outside the medical community to see my scars.

All my scars.

I’d told her more than I’d ever confided to my therapist.

And then that kiss? How did we go back from that kiss? How did we go back to employee/employer?

Did I want to?

Were Jolie’s feelings for me even genuine? Or was it part obligation? Part gratitude? Was it the challenge of me being completely off limits?

Or was it because I was the only man in this town full of stupid men who’d given her the attention she so deserved?

Apparently, I’m the only idiot male in this entire town who sees her for who she really is.

Vibrant. Smart. Stunning. And…fun. And kind. Also, a little bossy and a brat.

Jolie was all those things. She was all of life packaged in this short little frame, and I needed her like I’d needed basic physical therapy to walk again.

Stepping away from her last night had been like pulling off my skin. It felt like I’d been hard for twelve fucking hours.

Last night I’d come back to the house alone and horny, but I’d forced myself not to rub one out for the sole reason it felt morally objectionable to continue getting off to memories of my housekeeper.

Sure, maybe it had happened once or twice since that first orgasm. But each time, I felt exceptionally guilty afterward.

Only, I was thinking about her now. About her breasts against my chest. The way she’d sucked so hungrily on my tongue.

Which, of course, led to a series of mental images about how I might corrupt her. I’d never pretended to be the world’s most experienced lover, but what I lacked in number of partners, I made up for with dedicated focus.

Alice hadn’t cheated on me because I didn’t satisfy her in bed.
