Chapter 10
Xander
I watched Jia get ready,looking like she was doing her best to stave off the worry. She always had that uneasy look when she was worried. It would dim her bright blue gaze.
“Does it look good on me?” She asked giving me a little twirl.
She was wearing one of Claire’s summer dresses. She looked amazing.
“You look perfect.”
“Really?”
“Hmmm hmmm.”
We’d come in here to look for some clothes. We both felt awkward doing so but it was stupid to have a room full of women’s wear and have her in my shirts.
I’d sat on the edge of the bed watching her, focusing on her and not thinking about where I was. Claire’s room.
Jack had kept it the same. The exact same.
Same as when we’d gone to college and practically moved out, both our rooms were intact.
I pushed the thought out of my head and gave my undivided to the beautiful woman in front of me. It was better not to think of the past. Less painful.
“You’re just saying that. These clothes are tiny. I barely fit.” She pretended to pout.
The only reason she barely fit was because of those double D’s. It was a reason most women would kill for. There was no complaint needed at all.
“Baby, the only thing that looks better on you is nothing.” That was truth, only her naked body could rival how she looked now.
She widened her eyes and glanced over her shoulder.
“Xander,” she chided and swat my hands away when I tried to touch her breasts. “Jack’s down the hall.”
“He didn’t hear me, and he won’t see me either,” I teased.
She rolled her eyes at me. “What am I going to do with you?”
I reached for her tiny waist and pulled her to me. “Woman you know exactly what to do with me.” I was trying for lighthearted to cheer her up.
“I do.” She leaned closer to my ear and giggled in that sexy way that I loved. “I plan to do a lot with you when you get back. Including that thing you really like.”
Now it was my turn to widen my eyes since I loved everything she did to me. She could do it all.
“I need to hurry back then.”
“Yes I agree, you definitely need to hurry back.”
I drew her down for a kiss.
I was going to see Jack’s contact. His name was Dorian Patterson. He was an ex-military man who worked the cyber terrorism division as an senior intelligence analyst. The minute I heard that I thought he sounded right up my alley. I hadn’t had the privilege of doing much hacking in this gig, so this would be cool. It put my computer science skills to good use.
The worry returned to her eyes when she moved away from me.
“How long will you be gone for?” she asked.
“Not sure baby, I’m not really sure what we’ll be doing.” The only good thing was that Wes would be joining me there.
