Chapter Seven

Jason woke first. They were still wrapped around one another as they had been last night and he found that he could get very used to waking up with Maggie in his arms. Her hand was resting right over his heart; the hand that bore the ring of another man.

“Dammit,” he whispered and then gently tried to disentangle himself from her. Maggie let out a small sound of protest and when Jason was standing and looking down at her, her eyes fluttered open.

“What time is it?” she whispered.

“It’s almost six,” he said, trying hard to not let the anger that he felt at himself show. When Maggie made to rise he held up a hand to stop her. “Go back to sleep, Maggie. It’s early yet.”

“I have to pack and we’ve got the meeting at nine and…”

“I’m going alone. I told you that last night. You can stay here and pack and I’ll send the car for you around eleven and we’ll head to the airport.”

Maggie knew that Jason thought he was being considerate but she didn’t want his pity. “I can be packed in fifteen minutes, Jason,” she countered. “There’s no reason for me to not go with you.” She rose from the bed and stood before him.

With a huff of frustration, Jason took a step back. “This isn’t up for discussion, okay? I’m telling you, as your boss, that I am going to this meeting alone. I want you to stay here and make sure that everything is packed up and ready to go when the car arrives.”

As if the ‘boss’ line wasn’t enough, his tone of voice said it all. It was clipped and sharp and was almost enough to make Maggie burst into tears. Again. “Fine,” she said softly. “I’ll make sure that everything is taken care of.” Before Jason could say another word, Maggie stepped around him and went into the bathroom and closed the door.

He took the hint.

Silently leaving the room, Jason walked across the hall to his own room. Once the door was closed behind him he slumped against in and cursed himself. What the hell had he been thinking spending the night with Maggie? It was all innocent and he knew that but did it really make a difference? She was another man’s wife and he had no right to spend the night in her bed. And the fact that she was his employee only made it worse.

Jason always considered himself a reasonable, level-headed man and yet right now he was feeling anything but. He could go to this meeting this morning without Maggie and it wouldn’t be a hardship but what was he supposed to do once they were in the car together riding to the airport? Or flying home? Hell, what was going to happen once they got back to the office? How could he possibly look at her, spend time with her knowing that he had crossed so many lines with her?

If her husband came and kicked his ass, he would take it.
