A Designed Affair Read Online Free PDF

often. Forgetting about the repercussions, he threw caution to the wind and went for it. The end result was he was about to sit across the table from his every day crush. He smiled at the word crush. Who would have thought at his age that he still had crushes. His norm was always about the lust and the sex, but with Loren his feelings were much more than that. Lust and sex was definitely on his mind when he thought of her, but he also knew she was so much more than that.
    He remembered the brief conversation they’d had when they’d made plans to discuss the house over dinner. He could tell that he’d caught her off guard when he mentioned how he had been waiting for her. It’s true he had been waiting for her to call, but the statement had an additional meaning for him. He couldn’t help saying it. When he heard her voice on the phone, the reaction his body had to hearing it had gone straight to his groin. He didn’t want to come on too strong, but at that moment, he couldn’t resist saying what was on his mind, even in the indirect way that he had. At least he was honest. He was waiting for her, not just for her to return his phone call, but he was waiting for HER.
    Mike got up from his chair and walked around. He needed to get his thoughts in check. This was Loren. He wanted her, yes, but he needed to be careful. His desire for her could blow up in his face. He needed to pull things back a bit before he got to dinner. It was time he got out of the office and changed for his meeting with Loren at his favorite supper club, a spot owned by a very good friend, Jason, whom they all called Jase.
    He had just walked out of his office when he spotted Duron heading towards the elevator at the same time.
    “Hey D. You heading out early tonight too huh? Hot date?”
    “Yeah I have plans. I told you about Taija, the woman I met through Loren?”
    Mike remembered who she was.
    “Right, from the bachelor auction?”
    Duron knew Mike was trying to be funny. Both of his friends had ribbed him for days about his participation in a bachelor auction, but he didn’t care. The amount of money raised would benefit a lot of families and charities in the Atlanta area and he was happy he could help his sister with her sorority’s fundraiser.
    “Don’t start Mike. The business side of the auction is over and I happen to like her, a lot. We’re just hanging out tonight. What are you up to?”
    Mike didn’t want to show any excitement about his evening with Loren.
    “Oh, not much. Just planning to grab a bite to eat at Jase’s supper club with Loren to talk about the house.”
    “That’s right I forgot you wanted her to work on your house. I’m glad she finally called you back. I know she’s been tied up with business. She is on her way up these days. Loren told me about all the new clients she’s been taking on. I talked with her earlier and she finally hired some new assistants to help take some of the load off and it’s about time because she really needs the extra help.”
    Mike knew Loren’s business had really been picking up since she worked on the interior designs of their office and on each of their current homes.
    “Yeah. She’s been very busy and tonight was the only free time she had, so I took it. I’m hoping she’ll have time to squeeze my little project in, especially since it would mean several trips to the west coast. She said it wasn’t a problem so that eases my mind of one less thing to worry about. Now I can just focus on getting the office up and running and I’ll turn everything about the house over to her.”
    The elevator came and they both got in.
    “Speaking of the new office, you, Tyrone and I need to talk early next week more about logistics,” Duron said. “I know we had tossed the idea around, but now that we’re making this happen, I want to talk about the projects we’ll do out of that office as opposed to this one. I’d like for all three of us to fly out to do the interviews for
