Paradise Bound

Chapter 13

I'm nervously awaiting Isaac's answer.

He arches his brow at me before he finally speaks.

"A coffee??"

I look back at Isaac as innocently as I can.

"Yes, a coffee."

"I don't know."

"Oh come on, it's an innocent coffee.... I won't bite."

A smirk appears at the corner of Isaac's mouth.

"Hmmm....Well that's a pity."

I step back and let Isaac walk in. As he brushes past me I inhale his masculine fresh cologne.

I close the door and head to the kitchen where Isaac stands a little uncomfortably.

I make two cups of coffee before we settle down beside each other on the sofa.

"So..... I'm sorry about Tim tonight. I guess I never had to worry about that with Jeanatte at previous business meetings."

I look to Isaac, arching my eyebrows at him.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It's just.... Jeanatte is a good bit older than you, married, had her second baby nearly a month ago. Don't get me wrong she is a good looking woman but......"

Isaac hesitates not knowing how to continue what he was going to say.

"But??"

"But you are utterly beautiful and I guess any man would have to be blind not to notice you. You couldn't blend into a crowd no matter how hard you tried."

I feel my cheeks heat up as a result of Isaac's compliment.

I turn to face him and smirk satisfyingly.

"Why Mr Jones are you saying you think I'm beautiful?"

As he looks at me his beautiful deep blue eyes pierce me like a thousand daggers.

"No Tessa, I'm saying I know you're beautiful."

I feel a sudden fluttering in my stomach as we stare at each other.

Then Isaac's eyes suddenly look away and he takes a sip of his coffee.

"Anyway I just mean I'm sorry that jerk was allowed to grope you like that. I wish you would have let me say something to him, I don't want him thinking he can do that again."

"Forget about it Isaac. I know I have. You know what the most dissapointing thing about it all was?"

Isaac looks to me and lightly shrugs his shoulders.

"No, what?"

"I was kind of hoping that someone would grope me under the table.....just not Tim."

Isaac's eyes darken and his jaw clenches as he realises I'm talking about him.

"Is that so?!"

"Hmmmm.....but I guess I wasn't tempting enough?!"

"Are you kidding me? Do you know how hard it was to restrain myself back there while you sat there looking like a god damn goddess!"

I smirk at Isaac as I slowly hoist myself up onto his lap, kneeling at either side of his legs. I wrap my arms around his neck, swirling my fingers through the ends of his soft hair.

"Well surely you don't have to restrain yourself right now, do you?!"

Our eyes are locked onto one anothers in an intense stare. I can feel him harden beneath me reassuring me that he wants me almost as much I want him right now.
