UNFINISHED BUSINESS (BACK TO YOU) 20
She held her breath as he raised his hand, trailed his finger from her jaw to the lower lip that still tingled with the need to repeat that kiss. His eyes burned hot and heavy into hers for another moment before, gritting his teeth, he turned around and walked out of her office. A moment later, Tessa heard the other door close behind him. A breath shuddered out of her. She didn’t exactly call it relief because that knot of hunger was still lodged in her belly, intent on reminding her how long it’d been since she'd had good sex. Or any kind of sex, for that matter.It was only when she realised she was listening out for the sounds of his car leaving that she sank onto the chair close to her. Head buried in her hands, she tried to breathe through confusion and need. Through all the reasons she'd allowed David back into her life. She wasn’t melodramatic enough to fear that she'd look at her desk again without imagining him there wreaking sweet havoc on her body, but she suspected the ex

“I’m aware, sweetheart.”He pressed his middle finger inside her and her hips jerked, her inner muscles clinging as she whimpered. “The thing is, do I use that time for you or shall I be selfish and use it all for me?”Her eyes widened a touch but she remained still, her hands gripping him tight. He was sure she wasn’t aware of how her nails dug into him, and he bit back another smile. He’d always loved her honest passion, the way she let him know what she was feeling and what she wanted. Who the hell was he bluffing? He was going to use this for her. When he got around to fucking Tessa, he intended to be inside her longer than whatever seconds he had left in this ridiculous game.Mindless, they pulled at each other, the years of separation, the anger, the frustration falling away as they clawed at each other. Bending low, he flicked his tongue over one ripe nipple as he speared her with his fingers. She’d always been slightly embarrassed about the size of her breasts but he loved the

End their association? Watch her retreat and take away every access he'd have to her? Not if he could bloody well help it. Glancing down at her, he drawled, “It turns you on to fight with me, doesn’t it?”Tessa snorted. “Now you’re just being plain ridiculous.” But her words lacked the punch of conviction.“Am I?” David murmured. “Then why are your nipples hard? Why’s your skin flushed? I bet you’d be too proud to admit you’re hot and wet right now.”Her nostrils flared. “Haven’t you learned the futility in attempting reverse psychology with me by now?”He smiled, enjoying himself now. “I don’t hear a denial, sweetheart.”“Don’t call me that,” she admonished. “I’m not your sweet anything.”“You’re right. You’re like a stiff shot of Scotch whisky, raging and burning all the way down. Problem is, one taste just triggers a need for another. And another…” She stiffened. “Stop it. I already told you last time was a mistake. Why are you still here, David? Why?”“Because your nipples are st

And yet he knew every timbre of her voice as well as he knew every inch of her body. It was crazy.When he got to her doorway he paused there, enjoying the view.She was talking on the phone, her bare feet up on the desktop, a sight he suspected not very many clients were privileged to see. Her feet were small, dainty, the toes painted bright pink. Her floral skirt had ridden up revealing a shapely thigh.He rapped on the door frame and she turned, startled. When she saw him, she yanked her feet off the desktop and he watched, enjoying the sight, as her toes did a version of Riverdance under the desk until she located two high-heeled shoes and attempted to jam her feet into them while simultaneously dragging her skirt back into place.She continued her conversation, to a florist he presumed, since the words rose and baby’s breath occurred so often. Once she’d successfully navigated her feet into her shoes, she turned her chair, and thus her back, to him and continued her conversation.

“How about you?” he asked, obviously determined to steer clear of painful subjects.“I’m single… Obviously,” She chuckled lightly, careful not to bring up her past relationship. She didn’t think he wanted to hear the ugly details. Well, who would? So she merely said, “Never been married. I run my own event planning business.”He began asking her precise and intelligent questions about her business and she felt that it was a relief to both of them to discuss something as impersonal as business. At the end of an hour, she knew two things. One, Joe was a genuinely nice man, and two, she felt not the tiniest spark of attraction.They exchanged business cards and agreed to meet for lunch one day soon. She had no idea whether either of them would follow up. They shook hands at the end of their coffee date and he headed one way while she turned in the opposite direction. She was trying to decide whether the coffee date had been a success or a disaster, when a voice hailed her, “Tess.”She g

The bakery smells were so good. There were blocks of cheese bigger than house steps and she wanted to buy one and gobble every succulent morsel. She loved cheese, every fat-saturated ounce. Hard cheese, soft cheese, runny cheese, blue cheese. Oh, stop it. She averted her eyes. She really shouldn’t start stress eating because of him or letting him get in her head, and that was why she didn't cancel her date with Joe. She had to move on now and she had to do it quickly. Joe had suggested the locale for their first coffee date and she’d agreed without quibbling. Now that she was here she wished she’d quibbled big-time. She wanted to turn tail and head home. Aside from being exhausted, cranky and cheese-obsessed, she’d probably dressed all wrong for a first date with a stranger. Her jeans were casual, but she’d pushed her feet into high heels instead of giving them a well-deserved Sunday rest, and she was worried that the green sweater was too low-necked. The last thing she wanted to do
