I brought a shaky hand to my forehead to wipe the droplets of perspiration that had begun to fall with his incoming approach.
“You can’t be in here. The lesson is over. Please leave.” My voice was unconvincing, even to me.
“What’s the matter, sweetheart? I can see your heart battering against your chest under that flimsy blouse. Do I frighten you?” He was in my space. Too close.
Frighten wasn’t necessarily the verb I would have used. Unravel was more accurate.
“What did you say to the guard to get him to leave? Did you bribe him?”
My ass was backed into the edge of the desk. He towered over me, sheet of paper in hand.
“Bribe? Me? Why sweetness, what do you take me for?” His mouth was slightly parted, tongue loitering just inside. I wasn’t sure where to look. His eyes would kill me so I remained focused on his ridiculously sensual mouth, trying to mentally warn my hormones to back the hell off.
“You’re a criminal. I know your game. Bribes are rife everywhere.”
“Would you believe me if I told you I just wanted to hand you this without watchful eyes because it’s…kind of private?”
“Why should I believe anything you have to say?” Did I even verbalize that or was it in my head?
I couldn’t tell if I was up, down, sideways, or even still breathing. I must have been respiring because my nose caught a whiff of something decadent. I was a sucker for the just-showered smell and Jag had that. Hints of soap with subtle deodorant, mixed in with a fragrant shampoo. My senses were on overdrive, turning me into a disastrous puddle of desire.
Lowering his head to my ear, he inhaled before grating out, “Maybe not everyone’s guilty.”
His breath whispered over the delicate skin of my lobe, my eyes closing, hoping for some sort of contact. God. What was wrong with me? He was hunched over me, his heat, scent, and dangerous energy curling and swirling, luring me into a delirious vortex. My breath hitched, waiting on edge. And then he turned on his heels and strode out, not looking back, leaving me a puddle of wrongful desire.
I pictured his back and ass flexing and releasing as he left me with nothing but a gentle, lingering scent and lewd thoughts.
Taking a moment to compose myself, my eyes found the sheet of paper he had inconspicuously placed on the table beside me.

Writing has become an extension of that and I hope to pursue a full time writing career. I currently write part-time and work as a remedial massage therapist. I love spending time with family and hope to one day travel to Italy and England.
