“Yes, Olivia,” he murmured, and his eyes shot down to my lips. “Let's be irresponsible tonight. You already seem
calmer. You're always too tense. Let's just relax tonight.”
For sreason, my guard cup. This almost seemed too easy. Alexander was being too nice to me. Did he
have an ulterior motive? | thought that he would have been sarcastic or shut down like he did when we had our
misunderstanding in the bamboo forest. | figured that if | asked if we could be irresponsible tonight, he would
think that | was just trying to use him even though that wasn’t my intention at all.
Was | just being paranoid and reading too much into things?
There | went again with the overthinking...I let out a long, slow breath to try and calm my racing heart.
“Con,” Alexander said, opening his door and gently pullinginside. “Stop thinking and just be in this
moment with me.”
My stomach flipped at the sexy grin that crossed his face. He was too handsfor his own good. He was
dangerously good-looking.
A quiet gasp escaped my lips when | noticed that he had scattered twenty or so white candles around the room.
The lights were off, and the dancing flames that were silhouetted against that wall made a romantic atmosphere
that madeequal parts scared and excited.
| thought that he was going to leadto his big white bed in the middle of the room. But instead, he sat down
in the white leather chair by the window. When he pulledonto his lap, | had to bite my lips so | wouldn't
moan out loud.

He was hard. | squirmed when | could feel his hard length pressing against my ass. Alexander's hands gripped
my hips possessively, and the feeling of his hot grip just madesquirm even more.
“When you squirm like that on my lap, you're really testing my self- control,” Alexander whispered, his hot breath
on the back of my neck.
“Tll be good,” | promised and tried to keep still.
“Not too good, | hope,” he murmured. Then, he shifteduntil | was looking at him. His expression became
serious. “I know that you're nervous about tonight because of how it could affect our working relationship. | just
wanted you to know that | respect that, and | understand where you're coming from.”
| swallowed thickly and looked down at my lap. Since he had been the one to bring it up, it just made my
concerns swim to the forefront of my mind. Even though | didn’t want to overthink tonight, that was all | was
doing right now.
But when Alexander gently trailed his fingers down my back, all of my rational thoughts jumped out of mind.
There was only him and his concerned expression and warm hands.
“Since | can see where you're coming from, can you see where I'm coming from?” he asked after a moment.
| pulled back to study his expression. He didn’t seem mad, but his words had an undercurrent to them that
confused me.
Was this Alexander's roundabout way of implying that he didn’t think | respected him? Where did that come
from?
But | didn’t know if | could answer the most important question of
