Lee
hadn’t knocked on the door. They were both super aroused. No doubt about it.
    “Anyway, his name was Eric,” Alexa continued about her ex.
“And there was one thing that he taught me.”
    “What’s that?” Jess seemed genuinely interested.
    “That life is to be lived not feared.”
    Jess nodded thoughtfully, his eyes seemed to admire what he
saw before him. This made Alexa even more nervous.
    “Eric was a smart man.”
    “Yes, he was. I wished I followed his advice sometimes. You
gotta sometimes go for what you want in life. You only live once. When you look
at how anyone can be here one minute and gone the next…it’s just not worth not
getting the most out of life when you can.”
    “Is that what you do? Get the most out of life every day?”
    “Sometimes.”
    “Like that email you sent to me,” he said casually as he
held up his glass of wine to his lips taking another sip. A grin touched the
corner of his lips.
    “Hey, that wasn’t meant for you. I told you at the office
after Lee left. The email was for—“
    “I know. I know. A romance writing class. But you just
happened to use my name.”
    “So? I had to come up with someone that…I…um sort of admired
for the part of my male lead.”
    “So you just fantasized about making love to me.” His voice
was deep, silky and low and sent waves of desire sliding down her spine.
God,  he was gorgeous! He was so charming in every way.
    “I think you wanted me to see that piece of erotic
literature.”
    “Did not.”
    “Did too.” He teased back.
    “How would you know?”
    “Because sometimes we do things subconsciously. You were
somehow hoping that I would see it and well, your subconscious mind created
that opportunity. You were careless in sending it to your friend Jessica Macy.
You know that depending on which email program you use, once you type the first
letter and so on of the person’s name in the ‘to’ box, other similar names pop
up. You just have to make sure you send to the right recipient.”
    “So are you sorry I sent you…”
    “I’m glad you did, Alexa.”
    “You are?” Alexa flushed. Her heart went pitter patter
inside her chest.
    “Why does that surprise you?”
    She wanted to say because she thought he was so out of her
league. A fantasy that could never become reality. But she dared not say it.
     
    Later they discussed work and strategies to win the Hot Spot
Resort account’s latest venture. Jess admired her creative ideas and her
enthusiasm. He rarely saw that genuineness in an employee. She was dedicated
and passionate to all of her projects.
    “You know, it would be great if you could take a vacation,
too.”
    “Who me?” Jess almost laughed out loud. “Now what makes you
think that I need one?”
    “Well, you work very hard, long hours at the office and you
rarely take a vacation. You know there is more to life than work.”
    “Not much though.”
    “You know the average full-time worker in America works
2,080 hours a year! That’s a lot of hours working.”
    “And…?”
    “Well, I did a tally on all the overtime you do, and well,
you probably clock double that!”
    “Oh, really? So you’ve been watching up on me.”
    “Not really. Just saying that…well…work is great but…”
    “And what if work were your passion and your sense of
joy…then what?”
    “Well, nothing wrong with that I suppose but,” she said
waving her fork in her hand. “Life should be about balance. Too much of
anything isn’t good.”
    “Oh, is that so?” he said leaning in closer. His eyes
sliding down her figure.
    Alexa’s pulse pounded in her throat.
    Damn this heat between them!
    If she could get away with it, she’d take him right there
and then. But that wouldn’t be very ladylike or like Alexa. What was with her
when she was around him? Maybe being celibate for the last year wasn’t such a
good idea after all. Her hormones were racing.
    She could just tell that his hormones were spiralling, too.
    The
