CHAPTER 7
     
     
    Later in the afternoon, back at the office, Jess and Alexa
sat in the boardroom looking over some of the Hot Spot account notes. Most of
the other employees were already gone home. It was almost six o’clock in the
evening.
    “Hot Spot: The resort that sizzles,” Alexa said, almost to
herself as she held up an old brochure of the hotel.
    “What did you just say?” Jess queried, as if amazed.
    “Oh, nothing. Just, you know….when I think of Hot Spot, I
think of, well, a sizzling hot resort.”
    “That’s it!”
    “What’s it?”
    “Their new logo.”
    “You’ve got to be kidding me, right? It’s so….simple.”
    “Sometimes, simplicity is best, my dear. Look at this old ad
copy from their other agency. I don’t know why they didn’t give us this
assignment when we first took them on. It’s boring and it only lists features
of the resort.”
    “But advertising is about listing the benefits, too!”
    “Exactly!”
    “So?”
    “So, we go from there. Great work, Alexa!”
    Alexa felt heat rise to her cheeks again. “Really, Jess.
It’s nothing.” She couldn’t bring herself to look at his luscious lips that
just earlier in the day were pressed so hotly against hers. She knew she would
blush a deep red, for sure. Instead she kept her gaze fixed on the folder in
front of her.
    As he got up to gather the material together, he glanced
down at his gold Rolex watch. “I really don’t think you should be sticking
around much longer.”
    “Well, what are you going to do?”
    “I have business to take care of,” he said not looking up at
her.
    “Don’t tell me you’re going to work late again.”
    He stopped what he was doing and shoved his hands in his
pocket, a grin touched the corner of his lips. His dark eyes mellowed. “And
what, my dear, is it to you, if I stay late?”
    The scent of his aftershave wafted past her nostrils. He was
delicious in every sense of the word.
    “Nothing. I just…care. That’s all. I mean, you’re my boss…I
mean you’re a person…” God, why was she all clumsy all of a sudden, fumbling
for coherent words to say.
    Before she could finish, Jess was close to her again. He
leaned his tall frame down and pressed his soft lips to hers again. She thought
she would faint from his sweet flavor. What was wrong with her. He pulled his
lips away and gently guided her up and she sat on the boardroom oak table. How
many meetings have they had in that room where she had to hide her feelings for
him? Pretend he wasn’t the hottest man on earth? Too many times. But not now.
    Jess drank in the sweetness of her lips again. He kissed her
devouringly. His lips were warm and sweet on hers. Like fine red wine. Pulsations
rippled through her body as his tongue circled and danced with hers. She sipped
his lips, suckled them as he moved his hands down to her breasts and circled
his thumb around her taut nipples. She shivered with delight.
    She felt  his hard, firm erection pressed against her
thighs.
    “Oh, God! I want you, Lex.” His voice was so hoarse she
hardly recognized it. Did he just call her Lex? She didn’t know why but this
turned her on. Only those close to her called her Lex.
    “I want you, too,” she moaned in her throat. “Jess…I love
you…” She could not believe she said the words but she really did fall in love
with him, didn’t she? From the first day she’d met him—almost two years
ago. She cared so deeply about him and she wanted him to know. He’d been there
for her when  no one else on the board believed in her. She hearted him
with all her soul.
    “I love you, too,” Jess moaned as he pleasured her.
    Alexa could not believe her ears. Did Jess really feel the
same way about her? Was he just hiding his feelings all this time, until now?
She didn’t care right now. She just wanted to passion to sizzle and never fade.
She was living and enjoying the moment.
