Chapter Six

Coming into work Friday morning to pack up her things was one of the hardest things Jill ever had to do. Especially since it meant facing Eric and the cowardly way she’d snuck out on him the night before. But staying beyond the fantasy meant confronting her greatest fears and insecurities, of getting involved with a man and letting her emotions interfere with the goals she’d set for herself and her agency. Eric presented a conflict to both, and she’d accepted the rules of their fantasy world for a reason, so it would make walking away easier, without any expectations or promises to complicate the issue.

She just wished she was one of those sophisticated women who could have an affair, enjoy the physical aspect of the relationship and carnal, erotic pleasures, and leave her heart out of the matter.

Obviously, she was not.

“No regrets,” she muttered to herself as she placed her coffee mug into her small packing box. She’d chanted those words a hundred times since she’d crawled into her own bed last night, battling an onslaught of emotions and tears. Regrets were good for nothing, and she’d never been one to wallow in self-pity. She wouldn’t do so now.

A brisk knock sounded at her office door—or what had temporarily been her office at Massey and Associates—and she glanced up, locking gazes with the man who’d consumed her thoughts for the past twelve hours. He strolled into her office, looking sexy and gorgeous in a neatly pressed button-down shirt and creased khakis, and his hair tousled around his head. She was grateful to see that there wasn’t so much as a glimmer of accusation in his eyes for the way she’d left him last night.

“I have something for you,” he said, stopping on the other side of her desk.

Her heart picked up its beat, much too hopeful for her liking, until she realized he was holding a window envelope out to her and she could see her name imprinted on a company check. Her bonus money. Of course.

“Thank you.” Reaching out, she retrieved her check, which represented financial breathing room for her own agency, along with the end of her freelance job with Massey, and her relationship with Eric.

Pushing his hands into the front pockets of his pants, he tipped his head, his grin charming and boyish. “Are you sure I can’t change your mind about staying?”

His double meaning was shrewd and unmistakable, combining the offer from Massey to remain with the firm, and his own desires to extend their affair. While she recognized his dual question for what it was, he didn’t cross any of those boundaries they’d agreed upon about not bringing their affair up at work. To keep business and pleasure separate. Not unless she chose to do so.

She glanced away from his compelling eyes that could weaken her resolve if she let them, and tucked the envelope into her purse. “I’m sure,” she said, her answer encompassing both requests. She wasn’t changing her mind about either.
