Chapter 15

Jackson

I hum to myself as I rinse the foam from my face, it feels kind of funny shaving in front of Ashley’s bathroom mirror. I’m surrounded by all her girlie shit, honestly, she has more lotions and lip balms than she could use in her lifetime. My eyes catch hers in the mirror as she steps out of the shower.

She gives me a flirty grin and despite the fact that I was buried in her lush body not ten minutes ago, I feel myself harden. She is like Kryptonite! Every time I’m around her I want to be touching her, kissing her, or inside her.

When I leave the bathroom, she’s sitting at her vanity combing through her wet rainbow hair. I take the time to study the tattoos that cover her towel covered body. They are beautiful works of art on skin that is the perfect canvas. I walk forward, our eyes meet in the mirror.

Being with Tinkerbell is making feel things I haven’t felt in years, if ever. It feels like something momentous is happening and we both feel it. I think back to last night and how I told Maisy I loved Ashley. I hadn’t meant for it to come out, but when the words had I realised that my feelings for Ashley may not be love but they were certainly headed that way.

Part of me feels terrified and part of me wants to dance in the rain and shout it to the world. Tinkerbell smiles at me as I lean in dropping a kiss on the curve of her neck.

“You free tonight, Tink?” I ask and love how she turns towards me giving me her full attention. Her hands come out and hitch through my belt loops. I have got as far as getting my trousers and shirt on, but the shirt is unbuttoned.

Looking up at me, she looks so fucking beautiful, I can hardly catch a breath.

“I sure am handsome,” she answers. I feel my dick twitch at her closeness. He seems to have a weakness for beautiful rainbow-haired sirens too.

“How about I cook at my place?” I offer.

Her face brightens as she grins. “Yes, I would love to see your place.”

“Cool, want me to pick you up? I can swing by on my way home from work and then drop you back in the morning.”

“Ooh are we having a sleepover?” She laughs, and I pull her up and into my arms, the move causes her towel to slip a little and her nipples are nearly visible. I suck in a breath and my dick strains against my zip. How does she do this to me? But then I notice the pulse in her neck thrumming wildly and know she is feeling the same. Moving my head a fraction, I run my nose along her neck just under her ear. Her breath catches as she moans.

“I don’t know about sleeping, Tinkerbell, but I am going to fuck you for a very long time in my bed and anywhere else I can think of.” My voice is low, my hands move to gently hold her neck and I run my thumb over the pulse there.

Her hands move to my abs and her little fingernails rake over my sensitive nipples. It takes every ounce of control I have to step away from her, but I know that the anticipation will make it so much sweeter. That is if I don’t die first.

I head to the office and am running late. Alex is already there when I arrive. He has a tiny frown on his face. He is probably pissed at being kept waiting.

“Sorry I’m late,” I say as I hustle through the door. Lindy smiles sweetly, and I falter. What the fuck is wrong with her? Somehow the smile scares me more than the glares.

“Morning, Lindy,” I venture.

“Good morning, boss,” she answers and now I am really worried. I look at her with a frown and her smile grows even bigger.

I shake my head as I push open the door to my office.

I sit and gesture to Alex to sit. Before I can start Lindy comes in with two cups of coffee.

“Here you go, Jackson, just how you like it and one for you, Alex.” She is freaking me way the fuck out now.

“Thanks,” I say and hesitantly take a sip. It’s good and just how I like it. I think that might be the first cup I’ve ever tasted that Lindy has made.

She nods and leaves the office with a sweet smile. Lindy and I need to talk.

I focus on Alex and he is studying me. I smile and sit back in my chair.

“Well, Lindy is in a good mood, but don’t get used to that.”

“Good to know,” he says and smiles but it doesn’t reach his eyes. I wonder if he is pissed about me being late. Probably shouldn’t have showered with Ashley but she is just too fucking irresistible. I feel my mind wander back to waking up with her. I try to pull myself back as a smile twitches at my mouth. I look back to Alex who’s looking pissed.

Back to business. I spent the next two hours going over all the procedures I had set up to keep the company and client safe and anonymous. I give Alex the rundown on how to meet clients and the best practice for executing the relationship termination for the client. Alex listened well and made notes. Around eleven Lindy comes in with biscuits and coffee. I leave Alex to do some research and followed her back out to reception.

“What’s going on?” I ask.
