Racing Desires

10. Secret

Dean's POV:

Waking up I can't stop the stupid grin on my face, looking down to the beautiful girl who is currently half sprawled out on my body. While my arms are wrapped around her, her head is on my chest including half her upper body, one arm wrapped around my middle and one leg hooked around my leg.

This is possibly the nicest way I have ever woken up. No denying anymore, I can't keep my distance to this girl. I mean there are other bosses who have some sort of relationships with their employees too, right? It's not like one of us is taking advantage of the other, we are both old enough to understand this. And yet this worries me.

A look across to the clock tells me it's already 11am. Even if we haven't slept much, we need to get up, our flight back goes in four hours.

Gently I place a soft kiss on Kiara's head. "Good morning sleeping Beauty", I whisper softly. "We need to get up and have some breakfast and get ready." She grumbles a little and only snuggles up a little tighter to me. "As much as I enjoy this and would stay here in bed with you, we really need to move Kiara."

"Then move", she grumbles, turns around, giving me free while snuggeling herself on to the other side of the bed.

"Oh, no Honey. We aren't doing this. You are getting up too", I say while tugging the pillow away she started hugging instead of me.

"Has anyone told you, you are damn annoying in the morning", something in her voice tells me she would like to throw that cushion at me right now.

"Has anyone told you, you have terrible moods in the morning?", I retort with a slight chuckle. She really isn't the type of person to get up happily in the morning.

"Fuck you!", now I can't help but burst out into laughter with those words leaving her mouth. This is her.

"Hey, is this the way to speak to your boss?", I keep on teasing her.

"Right now, you're not my boss."

"What am I then?", I ask and notice my heartbeat increasing. What the hell is this between us?

Turning around her wonderful huge hazelnut eyes look up at me and she looks shy and vulnerable all of a sudden. "I don't know, you tell me. What is this we are doing? We shouldn't be doing this, right?"

"We are two grown ups, there's no reason we aren't allowed to do this."

This somehow seems to be stirring inside her now, she sits up, pulls her legs against her chest, before she starts talking again. "Everyone will be thinking I only have my job because I'm sleeping with you", she sighs and stares at the wall in front of us.

"Kar, look at me", she does. "No other opinion than yours or mine count. And if you don't want them to know, we don't have to tell them. Perhaps it would keep it easier for both of us, for the moment. That's if you want to keep this up." My heart aches suddenly at the thought it might have only been this one night to her.

"Do you? I mean, I can't blame you if you didn't, we were both quite loaded last night."

Ruffling my hair, I sigh. "We were. And you know what? I'm quite glad about it."

Confused she looks up at me again. "Why?"

"Because I've been fighting this for days. You've got me going insane Kiara, but in more ways than you might think. For days I've been fighting this, fighting the urge to kiss you, feel you, fighting the pull I feel towards you. I thought keeping my distance would help, but I was fooling myself. And last night I snapped and right now I am glad I did, because I don't want the distance, I don't want to stay away from you." My breathing is coming heavier again and fuck am I scared of her reply right now.
