jealous. One of thos e “You go girl! ” looks. I roll my eyes back at her and her sneaks off, back to her desk. Or at least I hope she goes back to her desk, because I have a feeling this conversation is about to get ugly.
Jackson closes the door , and proceeds to sit down in the chair opposite my desk, while looking around the small room, taking it all in. “So, this is your office huh?” He asks, his eyes locked on a generic piece of artwork on the wall. “You’d think it would be designed better, considering this is a design firm.”
“Yeah, well. I just moved in , and haven’t had time to do anything with it yet. We’ve been interviewing all day and between that and the Perimeter project, I have no time. Once construction begins, I’ll have time to put my own personal touch in here.”
He sits there quietly as he places the key fob to the car on my desk.
“Jackson, I’m not.....”
“Ally, please. After all I’ve put you through, with the investigation and the danger that put you in, please, accept this as my apology and a congratulations. I want to do this, and I’d really like for you to accept the car, no strings attached.”
“Strings? Of course there are strings, there always are. I just.....” And I drift off , because that’s all I’ve got at the moment. I’m tired, stressed and done with this day. But then, the light bulb goes off in my tiny brain.
“I’ll accept the car on one condition.” He looks at me with his brow raised, like he can’t believe I just issued a challenge. “I make payments to you, until it’s paid for.”
And he actually laughed!
“No, no conditions Ally. The car is yours, titled to you, and paid for in full.”
“But....”
“No butts, Ally. Unless it’s your bare butt in my hands.”
Whoa. Where did that come from? “Shhhh, I am at work you know. They just fired a girl yesterday for harassing employees, I don’t need to be next.”
“But you aren’t harassing me, and I’m not an employee,” his emerald green eyes glazed over and dilated. “You ready to get out of here? Cause I need to have you to myself tonight.” Jackson says as he stands from his seat, and my eyes scan his body, from his sexy lips down to his.....hello there.
“ Umm, yeah. I guess we should go,” I smile as I grab my things and shut down my computer, suddenly no longer angry about the car situation. Oh, we’ll discuss it some more, but right now, I’m ready to get the hell out of here and move on to something a little more fun.
He motions his eyes to the key fob on the table, then looks back up at me. “You drive.”
Chapter 6
We head down to the parking garage, the Maxima is still parked where it was before, like he never left the garage. I’m sure he did, but he left the car right where it was. He knew exactly what he was doing. I click the fob, and the lights blink, causing a shiver to run down my spine. This is really mine! I get excited for a second, and then that shiver settles in the pit of my stomach. This is really mine, and Jackson bought it....not me.
I freeze in my tracks, staring at the car. Jackson nudges my back, but I can’t move. My feet are stuck to the concrete. “Ally, are you okay?”
I nod, because my mouth won’t work, again. Damn this thing must be attached to my feet. I need to find the foot and mouth store and exchange mine for ones that works, because they’ve been malfunctioning too much lately, and it’s time for an upgrade.
“Ally, what is it?” Jackson whispers in my ear.
“I can’t accept this Jackson, really I can’t. It’s too much, and you won’t let me repay you. I know you said there isn’t a catch, but really? Why would you buy me a car?”
“Because I love you, and you deserve it. You went through hell because of me , and I want you to have it, please accept it?” He says, as his hot breath caresses the sensitive skin below my ear. How can I refuse this man anything, when he does that? Those shivers
