extending my hand to her that she grasps in her tiny hand. I’ve never been happier than when I am with Sophie. We crawl into her 500 thread count sheets and I finish making tender love to her tonight. No dirty talk, just soft moans of pleasure and ecstasy as we show each other how much we love each other with our bodies fusing together as one. I hope Sophie senses it too. Afterwards we fall into a deep and luxurious slumber.

    “You were jealous last night,” I tease. I actually enjoyed seeing Sophie jealous, it meant she cared, cared about us.
    “I don’t know what you are talking about,” she denies, denies, denies, as she tries to escape me.
    “Not so fast,” I say, pinning her down as I hold her wrists over her head against the mattress. She squirms beneath me and I like it, I like it very much as evidenced by my growing manhood.
    “Who is she to you anyway?” Sophie asks.
    “Jade Johansson. We dated eons ago, she quit the firm over a year ago,” is all I offer by way of explanation.
    “Why did she leave?”
    “Why does it matter? She left, end of story,” I shrug.
    “Did you break her heart?” Sophie ventures to ask.
    “That’s the word on the street. But she’s a big girl, she can take care of herself and I’m sure she has a line of guys willing to take my place.” A cloud washes over her expression and she won’t meet my gaze. “Sophie, I love you.” She doesn’t say a word for the longest time.
    “I don’t know if I want to give my love to you and then have you throw it away like yesterday’s trash. Is that what happened with Jade? Wait, forget I even asked.” She tries to break free from my grasp.
    “Sophie, you’re special to me. Come with me to my parent’s home for dinner this weekend,” I ask.
    “Let’s not go there, your parents are less than thrilled that we’re dating. You go to your parents and I’ll go to mine,” she says.
    “Suit yourself,” I huff out releasing her hands. Her guard is up again and I know it’s because of Jade. Why did she have to go and show up again?

Chapter 10
    Sophie
    “Hey Sophie, you busy?” Christopher asks before he sits down in a chair in my office.
    “Hi Christopher, have a seat,” I offer, I have a few minutes to spend catching up with him. We’ve become pretty good friends since I’ve been working at Hunter. He’s a good guy, not as much of a player as Marcus.
    “What are you working on?”
    “Earnings reports.”
    “Those are so tedious, the bane of my existence. I got mine finished yesterday. So, how are things going with the Golden Boy?” Christopher asks.
    “Marcus?”
    “Who else would I refer to as the Golden Boy?” he laughs.
    “Things are going as well as can be expected, even though I know better than to have very high expectations. Why do you ask?” I reply.
    “I know it’s none of my business and Marcus would kill me for saying this, so please let’s keep it between us alright?”  Christopher says peaking my curiosity.
    “I promise, what is it?” I ask and I’m on pins and needles.
    “He’s not right for you Sophie. I’ve known Marcus awhile now and I don’t want to see you get hurt,” he says flat out.
    “What happened between Marcus and Jade?” Maybe Christopher can give me the dirt because I got nothing out of Marcus.
    “Did you ask him yourself?”
    “I did and he just shrugged me off and said she quit, end of story,” I say taking a sip of my coffee.
    “There’s a little more to that story,” Christopher admits.
    “I figured as much.”
    “He ended their brief affair when he was through with her and she didn’t take it well.”
    “Heartbroken?”
    “You could say that, I almost felt sorry for her. Anyway, Hunter found another firm to make her an offer she couldn’t refuse so she left.”
    “Really? How interesting…” I say pondering his words.
    “Well anyway, I hope you don’t mind me being so frank in my opinions, but I just don’t see you and Marcus
