Paradise Bound

Chapter 20

I'm laying in Isaac's bed still in a little shock at his words.

"Em Isaac....what about the rules? You know the part about this being casual and just sex?"

"Fuck the rules Tessa. It's one night. It's no big deal."

Isaac slides off the bed and walks into the adjoining bathroom.

(No big deal? He's delusional if he thinks this is no big deal. It's starting to thread dangerously close into relationship territory.)

When Isaac returns I make my way into the bathroom to have a quick wash.

(I don't know what's going to happen between us after tonight but right now I'm going to enjoy sleeping next to that incredible man.)

I make my way back to the bed and slip under the covers. I'm not sure what to do, whether to stay over my side of the bed or go over and try to cuddle with Isaac. I'm afraid that if I do.... He will reject me.

(Fuck it! It's a bit late for the shy and innocent act now.)

Isaac lays on his back, I slowly shimmy over and turn over on my side to face him. I gently wrap my arm over his firm stomach, I feel him lightly flinch under my touch and I'm almost about to retract my arm when I feel his arm nudge at my head, I lift my head up and his arm slips down around my neck drawing my head in closer to his warm chest.

I smile a little as I rest my head on his chest and drink in his manly fresh scent.

It didn't take long for me to fall asleep last night. A mixture of our late night activities and the warm blanket of Isaac's soft skin around me lulled me off with ease.

Isaac's alarm clock starts ringing and we both shuffle out of our sleeping position. I don't think either of us budged an inch away from each other.... Until now.

Isaac hops out of the bed.

"I'm going to have a quick shower and I'll make us some breakfast after."

"Oh, okay."

He disappears into the bathroom as I sit up in his oversized bed.

When I hear the sound of the water running in the shower I slide out of bed and gather up my clothes off the ground. I slip my underwear and my dress on before grabbing my shoes and making my way down the hall and into the kitchen.

After searching through several presses I finally manage to find some coffee and two mugs.

I am just in the middle of pouring the coffee when Isaac enters the kitchen dressed in another fancy work suit and looking as fresh as a daisy.

As he comes closer to me I can smell his sweet, fresh cologne.

"I was going to do that."

"Well it's done now so you don't have to."

I hand him the mug of coffee with a small smirk upon my face.

"We really should be leaving before it gets any later. There will be too many people around who might see."

"Ouch.... Are you that embarrassed to be seen with me?"

"You know that's not the reason..... I am your boss, it would look suspicious!"

"Oh I know..... I don't need reminding of that thank you very much."

Isaac takes a sip of his coffee before grabbing his keys off the counter.

"Right.....let's go."

"Jeeze.... I can't even finish my coffee..... Is this how you treat all of your guests that stay overnight?"
