Prince Charming but you can’t drop your knickers for every guy who tosses a glance in your direction. All you’re gonna end up is pregnant and alone.”
“You’re being way overdramatic, Kimmy,” I say unconvincingly as I adjust the waist of my flannel pajama pants and sit on the edge of my bed.
“I’m looking out for you, Hailey,” she says softly. “I love little Billy, but being a young single mom isn’t easy. I don’t want that for you.”
I sigh. “That’s not gonna happen, Kimmy. Trust me.”
“If you say so, Love.” I hear her baby start to fuss in the background. She tries to shush him but that doesn’t work. Instead, his cries become louder. “Honey, I’ve gotta go. Looks like somebody needs a diaper change.”
“Yeah, yeah,” I say. “Go. Give Billy a kiss for me. I love you, Kimmy.”
“I love you, too, Hailey Bear. Call me on Christmas Day, okay? After your friend, Amber’s wedding. I’m excited to hear how it goes.” And then, she hangs up the phone.
Chapter 19
The tension has been building up in my body.
It’s that tension that rears its ugly head when a woman craves to be touched by a man. It’s starting to feel like a damn long time since I’ve had a man’s hands on me and I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.
“Hailey,” I’m snapped out of my thoughts by a rough, masculine voice. I look up and find Matt standing near my desk.
He casually slips one hand into his pocket and leans against the edge of my cubicle. He dips his mouth close to my ear and says in a low suggestive voice, “I need you to work late tonight.”
I feel vitriol bubbling in the pit of my stomach as he leans back with a smirk on his lips and a mischievous glint in his eyes.
He thinks I’ll have sex with him.
After everything. After he fucked me and discarded me. After I walked in on him banging his secretary. He still thinks I’d have sex with him.
What an asshole !
I give him an incredulous look before saying loudly, “Matt, I’m really sorry, but I don’t think that real estate law is my strong suit. Maybe I should give the opportunity to someone else. Someone who’s interested in practicing real estate law.”
“Hailey, what are you doing?” Matt asks angrily as he leans close to me again.
I ignore him. “How about Luke?” I motion to my coworker who is working at his desk a few feet away.
Luke’s head shoots up upon hearing his name. He looks excited at the idea of being involved in one of Matt’s multi-million dollar real estate deals. “Yes, I’m very interested in working with you, Mr. Moretti,” Luke says politely trying to downplay his excitement. Luke is an excellent worker and he’d be a tremendous asset to Matt working on this file.
But Matt isn’t looking for help on his file.
He’s looking for some ass.
But it damn sure won’t be mine.
Matt gives Luke a searing gaze before settling his venomous stare on me. “Never mind,” he says under his breath as he turns and strolls towards his office.
I fight hard to suppress my laugh. That dirty dog thought he could play me and I’d come running at his beck and call. No – that’s not how it works. I may be fat but I have some dignity.
Asshole .
Dissing Matt felt good, but it still didn’t resolve my biggest problem.
I’m horny.
And seeing Matt show himself for the gigantic douchebag that he is only makes me want to Jackson even more. Although I can’t fully gage his intentions, Jackson’s always been respectful of me.
Maybe that’s enough.
I think back to how delicious he looked when I walked into the building this morning. He’d just started his shift. We had both looked at each other without saying a word as I had walked by. The expression on his face had been one of resignation – he’s accepting my decision not to give my body to him…but he still wants me with a
