After our shower together, I make my way to my office. I’m still feeling insecure. Things are going on around me, everything is changing rapidly. Sass is moving her stuff to Nick’s today. Danza met him. Given the situation with Tank, he’d rather Sass be with Nick than in this lifestyle.

Settling in for the day, I get organized to train my replacement. Jenna Mariella Castillo de Natera, ‘Vida’ arrives not far behind me to start her first day. She’s Ruby’s ol’ lady. Her dark hair, natural tanned skin, and dark eyes all add to her Latina beauty. She’s twenty-seven, but looks more like twenty-one, and you can’t tell from looking at her that she’s had three kids.

We start going over everything right away. She’s a quick learner and great with the computer. Considering my dad hates the thing, this will be good. With Jenna here, I don’t feel like I’m abandoning him quite so much.

Around lunchtime, Tripp stops in. I stand to meet him. Immediately, he pulls me into one of his all-consuming kisses. Forgetting everything but being in his arms, I moan as I melt into him. He pulls away leaving me breathless. He laughs, breathing on my ear as he whispers to me.

“Doll, you’re at work. As much as I’d love nothing more than to take you right here in your office, on your desk, we have company. No more moaning like that or I won’t give a fuck who watches as I take what I want.”

Smacking his chest playfully, I pull away and purposely sashay my way to my desk. I’m in jeans that hug my every curve, a tight fitting, scoop neck black shirt that shows cleavage, and my black heeled boots give extra swoosh to my swinging hips. I feel him come up behind me, his arm snaking around my waist to pull my back into his chest.

“You’re playin’ with fire, Doll. You feel what you do to me?” He asks pushing his hips into me so I can feel his erection in my back. “Apparently, I didn’t work you over good enough last night because you can still strut those sexy ass hips of yours. Tonight, babe, tonight, I’ll make sure you feel me for days to come.” He whispers against me before sucking hard on my neck.

I want nothing more than for him to bend me over my desk and take me now. He loosens his grip around my waist.

“I came by to tell you that I’ll pick you up after work so we can go for a ride. Gotta go back tomorrow, Rex needs me for a run.”

Turning to face him, I nod my head. The thought of goodbye, even for a few weeks, saddens me. He leaves after a quick kiss.

“You two are caliente.” Jenna says to me, her Spanish accent and words coming out.

Smiling at her, I can’t help myself. “Look at him. It’s because he’s hot.”

“He’s hot for you.” She says to me smiling from ear to ear.
