as I ran my hands through his sexy, messed up blonde hair.
    “True,” he smirked as he shot me a quick wink. “Part of the reason I’m so in love with you. Do you know how refreshing it is to be with a woman who knows her own mind and isn’t afraid to speak it?” He locked me in his hypnotic gaze before continuing, “Even though sometimes your stubbornness infuriates me, I wouldn’t change any part of you.”
    I moaned as his lips brushed mine, giving me a soft and gentle kiss. There was nowhere in the world I wanted to be other than where I was. With Alex. Like this. It was the first time in my life where I felt no hesitation or doubt. This is where I belonged, with him.
    “Ughhhhhh” I groaned as I looked at the clock, it’s stark, digital numbers alerting me to the fact that it was five thirty a.m. and I had so much to do today. I wanted to get started as soon as possible. After our little “display” yesterday, I’m sure my workload had probably doubled, if not tripled and it certainly wasn’t going to do itself.
    “That didn’t sound like a pleasurable moan,” Alex mused. “Perhaps if I touched you here...” his fingers traced a line down the valley of my chest and continued towards my stomach.
    “As much as I would love THAT, I can’t.” I pouted as I tried not to focus on his hand continuing on its journey further south.
    “Really? It kind of “feels” like you can.” Alex’s low, sexy voice awakened me even more as my body betrayed me. As his fingers reached the slickness between my thighs, I sighed.
    “You are not helping.” I tried to mentally calculate whether or not I had time to give in.
    “I disagree, I think I’m very helpful.” Alex smiled, clearly enjoying toying with me as he slowly slid a finger inside.
    “Ahhhhhh” I moaned involuntarily as I closed my eyes.
    “See... very helpful,” he crooned into my ear as his other hand travelled up my thigh.
    My mind snapped back into reality and I hesitantly removed his hand from between my legs, “It is so easy to forget the crazy world outside, for it to be just the two of us but as hard as it is, no pun indeed, we need to get this day started.” I tried to sound convincing, but I sure as hell wasn’t buying it.
    He groaned as he rolled away from me. “Fine, have it your way. I just want you to be aware that a perfectly good erection is going to waste.” I could tell he was more frustrated than angry.
    “Alex, trust me, you aren’t the only one who is disappointed.” I tried to reason with him. “I need to work. It’s not like when I worked at Kate’s, if I had a down day, there was someone to cover for me. Here it’s just me. It ’s a lot to do for one person”
    Alex turned to face me, his brows creased into a scowl. “Whatever, Lexi. I’m going to get a shower. A cold shower.”
    “You’re mad cause I won’t have sex?” I fired back.
    “No, my irritation with you has nothing to do with your refusal to have sex with me.” He responded, his eyes darkened.
    “Then what?” I hissed.
    “Lexi, do you know how many people we had working for us in a public relations capacity before you came onboard?” Alex questioned, his face hardened a little as he spoke.
    “What are you saying? I’m not doing my job?” I spat out, feeling my anger rising as the line of conversation continued.
    “No baby, I am merely illustrating that if you weren’t such a control freak and maybe hired some staff you wouldn’t have to work such ridiculous hours. I don’t know maybe we could have a life?” He argued as he flicked off the sheets and moved his body off the bed.
    “Wait!” I grabbed his arm, I knew he hadn’t meant to be cruel but he wanted me to ease off the accelerator. Days of waking early and late nights, constant phone calls, weekends that were never ours, were all taking their toll and I knew I would eventually burn out. I hated admitting that he was right but one of Power Station’s previous PR liaisons,
