baby,” she purred. “That mean old secretary didn’t want to
let me in to see you. Apparently, she doesn’t know who I am.” She threw her
purse on top of Amir’s desk then came around and sat on his lap.
         Amir kept his arms to his side. “Vanessa,
she was following my instructions. I don’t have time for this today.”
     “Well, honey, I know you’re busy, but that doesn’t
mean you don’t have time for me, does it?”
         Before he could answer, Vanessa lowered
her mouth to his. Amir waited for the shock of excitement he usually felt right
about now, even prayed for it. But…nothing. Instead, Alexis’ face flashed
behind his closed lids. When Vanessa moaned, Amir suddenly remembered the soft
mewling of Alexis’s voice when he brought her to an orgasm.
     He pulled his mouth away from Vanessa’s and shook his
head like a wet dog trying to get dry. Where
in the hell did that memory come from?? He hadn’t thought about her in a
fucking decade but after seeing her for a few minutes, he remembered little detail
of one night with her?
     Vanessa’s lips nibbled at his neck, while her hands
went to his belt. Amir knew what was coming next, and her lips were not the
ones he wanted to feel on him. Again, he pictured Alexis, soft, sweet, and
eager to please. He abruptly stood up and almost dumped Vanessa on the floor.
     “Amir!” She grabbed the edge of the desk just in time
to break her fall.
     “I’m sorry. But you gotta go.” When she just stood
there with her mouth hanging open and an expression of utter confusion on her
face, his voice deepened. “Now.”
     “Wha…? But..." Vanessa sputtered as her eyes
darted around the room as if something there would hip her to what was going
on. "I…I thought...”
     “Vanessa, I know what you thought, but we’ve come to
the end of our…relationship. I think it best we don’t see each other anymore.
I'm running late for a meeting so if you don't mind...”
     “I don’t understand,” Vanessa whined. Men didn’t dump
her. She dumped them. “Did I do something wrong?”
     Amir frowned. This is the part he hated. As with all
the other women, he’d been totally open with Vanessa from the beginning and
told her this was only a sexual thing. She was the one who tried to change the
rules by dropping by unexpectedly, trying to make dates like they were a
couple, becoming increasingly possessive...
         Amir shook his head. Nah. She had to go.
     When tears sprang to her eyes, Amir reached for her
purse and placed it in her hand while grasping her arm lightly and leading her
to the door. After giving her a peck on the cheek, he opened the door and
gently nudged her out. “Take care of yourself.”
     By the time he turned around and walked back to the
window to look outside, Vanessa was already forgotten. His thoughts were once
again consumed with Alexis. He wanted her. It wasn’t a question of whether or
not he'd have her again. It was a question of when.

         “You are coming to the 4th of July
company picnic, aren’t you?” Sharon asked Alexis over lunch.
     “I really don’t have a choice, do I?” Alexis grinned.
With them being a part of senior management, it was an unspoken requirement
that they attend. “And I’m sure Michael will enjoy the fun and fireworks. It’s
being held at Jim’s home, isn’t it?” Jim Wagner was the CEO of the company and
threw the event on the grounds of his enormous mansion every year. “What time
do you plan on being there?”
     “Around nine o’clock, I guess. Michael will have a
blast playing with the other kids who will be there. He's ten years old, isn't
he?"
     Alexis hesitated. “Almost.” She quickly changed the
subject. “It’s been so hot lately, hasn’t it?”
     “Yes girl, hotter than usual. It’s definitely an
official heat wave. But don’t worry,
