love is a friendship that caught fire. it is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. it is loyalty through good and bad times. it settles for less than perfectio and make allowances for human weaknesses. - Anne Landers
inner peace is something i have neve been able to obtain. i'm a mob girl born and raised. with that title i was never destined for a quiet life. and yet here i am on a sunday morning with the rain pouring down outside and a beautfulman beside i finally feel peace. my heart is so full i want to just hide away like this forever. just me and alexander away form the the rest of the world. away from marcus. but that can never be. depsite my state of utter peace, i stll know. there can never be a happy ending for us. my fate has been sealed. i will save him and then be killed for it. that is my only option.
"What has my girl so worried." Alexander mumbles out.
"just thinking don't worry about it." i turn to face him. his hair is a wild mess, he has a light stubble and he looks exhausted."The real question is what has you so worried."
"Work. as always." he replys defeatedly.
"we'll it is sunday morning, and sunday morning is not the time to worry about some silly law firm." i straddle his hips and place my hands flat on his chest. "Sunday morning is the time to kiss you girlfriend." i lean don and give him a long hard kiss. he instantly flips us over so he's on top. "it certianly is Ms.Cordell."

"Now i think we're done here. unless anyone has anything else they'd like to add?" Alexander question. "alright, you're all free to go." myself and two other senior partners began vacating out of Alexadne's office. "Ms.Cordell could you stay beind i have something to discuss with you."
i sat down infornt of hos desk once again and waited for the toher partners to leave. once they had left Alexander walked around and sat on his desk facing me.
"i had the genius brainwave of getting blinds out in here. i told my secretary i didnt really appreicate everyone walking by and staring in while i was haveing meetings with my newest senior partner."
i stand up and position myself between his legs woth my hands flat on his chest.
"Well. Mr.burke i quite like these new blinds." he cups my ass and trails kisses up my neck.
"i definitely agree Ms.cordell." i place my forehead on his shoulder and wrap my arms around his torso. rather than asking me whats wrong he just rubs my back. i love that about him he doesnt dg he just helps me through it until i'm ready to talk.
i lift my head and cup his cheek with one hand. "you're something else you know that. you dont ask questions, you're a rock, a very handsome, muscely , intelligent sexy rock." i beam up at him.
"That is quite a rock you're describing there." he smirks at me."Is that all i am a sexy intelligent rock?" a dark shadow has taken over his face.
"Hey, i cup both his cheeks, you're so much more than that, your self worth is much more than you think." i give him a long lingering kiss. "i have to get back to work but come find me before you go home."
