Siren

Four

I text my assistant and told him to reschedule my 10:00 AM for tomorrow at noon. If the other party doesn't want to reschedule, then I'll just let their business drown.

I finally finished getting dressed and see that it's 3:30, this is the longest it's ever taken for a supposed one night stand to leave. It's not exactly like I've been pushing him out though.

I'm buying plan B as soon as I leave here, I am on birth control but the amount of times I let him come in me was definitely more than one.

"So can I get your number?" Alex is standing in the doorway of the bedroom, I'm standing in the small kitchen, wondering what to get from room service while I work on my laptop.

I look up from the file I was skimming to see he walked from the room to the kitchen and is now in front of me.

"I don't know if that's a good idea."

He looks confused by my answer so I decide to give him an explanation.

"If things continue how they've been, I'm definitely going to end up pregnant." I give a small shrug at my explanation and hope he takes it.

If the sex was just good, I'd give him my number. I wouldn't respond but he'd have it. If this man calls me I'll most likely answer, just the thought of an hour ago makes me want more already. He said I was addictive, for him I must already be a junkie.

I can't afford to have too many distractions right now, he'd be the biggest one. The connection and attraction I feel to him after less than a day wouldn't compare to how I'd feel if this was an ongoing fling.

"I was thinking I could take you on a date some time, we could get to know each other more than physically."

I give a small smile, that might have looked like a grimace.

"I'm not looking for a relationship right now."

I was afraid this would happen. I'm focused on my career, making sure my company is the biggest and stays on top. Competitors are looking for one weakness, they'd do anything to destroy me. I didn't get to where I am today by focusing on feelings or relationships.

I let out a sigh and looked up at him. He doesn't look pleased with his new discovery. I'll just have to be blunt.

"Look, last night and this morning were great-"

He abruptly came closer and turned the stool I was sitting on to face him, he positioned himself between my legs and held my waist.

"Exactly, it was great I don't see why we shouldn't explore what we have here. I've never had a night like that with any one else."

I look away from his hazel eyes. Why is he making this so difficult?

"Like I said, it was great, but I don't have time for anything other than meaningless flings right now. I was going to offer lunch but I don't think that's a good idea right now. I'm really busy and I've already missed a meeting, I think it's time for you to go."

"Bu-"

"If we see each other again and you still want it I'll give you my number, if not, well it was more than nice meeting you."

He gets the message I'm not budging and steps away, his hand falling from my waist and he nods his head.

"Alright then, I uh, really had fun."

"Yeah, me too, bye Alex." I tried to soften my tone, I'm not mad at him or anything I just really can't afford to lose focus.

He steps forward once more pushing his lips to mine giving me a slow sensual kiss that almost has me telling him I didn't mean everything I just said. He finally pulls away after giving one last peck.
