CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
KAI
This is getting to be hard, literally and figuratively. My cock strains against my slacks every time he’s around, begging for a release that won’t come from anything other than my hand.
Even now, I’m sitting behind my desk, willing it to chill the fuck out so we can go to our meeting.
It’s been tense since that moment after Brazil. I confessed it all to him, and he chose the job over me. I’m sure he knows that, as the CEO, I could cover his salary if he did choose me, but I think he’s trying to prove some sort of point. I have to be smarter than this.
How do I get the man I want when he’s so dedicated to this position?
It’s December now, almost two months since he walked back into my life and turned it upside down in the best way possible.
The pen that should be used to sign contracts and approve spreads is instead spinning between my fingers as I ponder my options.
It’s almost Christmas, for crying out loud, I should have my man curled up in my bed so we can keep each other warm at night.
We should be giddy about the gifts we’ve gotten one another, not this keep-away-bullshit.
Jax has really blossomed in the last couple of months, though. He’s more confident in himself, in his work. If he wasn’t so fucking attractive, he would’ve made an amazing full time personal assistant, but now, we can barely say two words without trying to jump one another’s bones.
His gaze meets mine, and my head snaps down, trying to act cool despite totally not being it at all. I know he caught me staring, and I know we’re both chomping at the bit to let our bodies do the talking.
I just need to figure out the next fucking step.
