God, I want to bite that lip, amongst other things. I take a deep breath. I need not to be distracted around this woman. My body is so distracted by her, though, but my mind is distracted by her the most.
“That sounds good coming out of your mouth.”
“It’s not the only good thing about my mouth.”
Chloe and I sat in the diner until two in the morning, and it was nice, comfortable even. But the awkward kiss as she got in herUberwas unfortunate. I’m on the phone with a client when my assistant brings a small box wrapped in black ribbon and a card on the top with my name scrawled across it.
Jaxson
I had fun last night. Here’s to us having more fun.
Hope you like your surprise, Sir.

I grab my phone off the charging dock behind me. I like this playful side of Chloe. I’m almost certain no other man on the planet has been on the receiving end of it, though. That pleases me more than it should.
Jaxson: What do we have here?
Chloe: Open it and find out.
I unwrap the black paper and laugh when I see what she’s sent. I see my assistant opening the door just in time to cover the package with the paper it was wrapped in. I don’t need my assistant to see a cock-ring on my desk, even if it is in a discreet box.

CHLOE
When Kate messaged me to say she could send my package to Jaxson at work before she left to return to L.A. I was giddy with excitement. I’m pacing in my office, trying to get my steps in, when I hear my phone ping on my desk.
Right on cue.
I sit back in my chair, the wheels moving backward as I sit. I’m wearing a tight black knee-length skirt today and my red silk blouse, dressing with the hope that I’d be seeing Jaxson later. I’m hoping this little gift may have just cemented the deal.
Jaxson: What do we have here?
Chloe: Open it and find out.
I bite my bottom lip while keeping an eye on my office door. I don’t need anyone interrupting me while I’m having a back-and-forth with Jax.
Jaxson: Stop biting your lip. That’s for me to do.
Chloe: How did you know I was biting my lip?
Jaxson: You always do it when you’re nervous and horny, it seems.
Chloe: Definitely horny!
Jaxson: Wow!
Jaxson: My assistant nearly saw this.
I burst out laughing. My assistant looks through my office window and looks at me, confused. What? Have I never looked happy before?
Chloe: I thought we could try it out tonight if you’re not busy.
Jaxson: I had a restaurant reservation with a smart, hot lawyer. I’m sure she won't mind me canceling the reservation.
I love the fact he went with smart before hot. Not that I think I'm more. I’m just glad he went with something that isn’t superficial.
