"Go easy on the lipstick, you're about to get kissed"***
I sighed and sat down in front of the two kids, holding a half asleep Maria in my arms. I grabbed ahold of her shirt and raised it to her lips, wiping the small bit of drool that escaped from her mouth. The little girl woke up in a confused daze as soon as the door shut and I spent the past few minutes attempting to calm her down and lull her back to sleep. Were four year olds supposed to sleep this much?
Not that I had room to judge, at twenty-two, I couldn't go a day without an afternoon nap.
Sarah and Alexander left the house around ten minutes ago, leaving me to babysit for a couple of hours. My mind drifted back to when I had just met Alexander-Alex, as he told me to call him. I was breathless. Never had I laid eyes on such a handsomely crafted male. The feeling of his eyes running down me was exquisite, not in the way I wanted to be- but I didn't necessarily expect anything less from a married man with three kids.
I had to stop my thoughts from wandering to places they shouldn't have. I was already disgusted by my reaction to seeing him for the first time. As if I was a teenager new to lust and went after any man within reach. It was crude and unlike me and I cursed myself for it.
He stared at me as if I was just a kid-and he, an older man taking in my appearance for the first time. Which was disappointing to say the least. Most men drank up my figure as if I was the only woman on earth—which was understandable. My long, tan legs and curvy waist went unnoticed even by me. I'd shamelessly stare at myself in the mirror daily and after years of attempting to build up my confidence, I was finally where I wanted to be.
Besides, my rush of excitement was a spur of the moment thing, I didn't actually want to jump my boss on the first day. Or on any day. I had more respect for him, his wife and their three beautiful kids. It wasn't my place—nor anyone's to disrupt that kind of bond.
The primal side of me wanted me to say fuck it—throw caution to the wind. But my rational side knew that this time was different, he wasn't a random man I had the luck to meet at a bar downtown, he was forbidden, sinful and risky.
I haven't been sexually active with a man in over a month—I blamed my intrusive thoughts on my lack of dick and although a little sex deprived- I'd say it was going well.
Until now that is.
That's it. I just needed to get laid and this would all be over.
"Can you go make us dinosaur nuggets Gigi?"
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt a tug on my hand. Looking down, I smiled at Elena.
"Didn't you eat before your parents left honey?" I asked her, brushing my hand over her frizzy hair. Her big brown eyes stared up at me hopefully and I knew I couldn't say no.
