“It seems pretty powerful,” Alexander said as he watched my sex toy roll across the floor. “It should do the job.” He bent to pick it up.


    My blood ran cold, and I had no choice but to lunge for the toy, knocking Alexander’s hands out of the way. Thankfully, I grasped onto the vibrator before he could touch it.


    When I looked up, my mouth became dry. Since Alexander was bent down his face was right beside mine. My hands shook around the sex toy when his gaze lowered to my lips. I couldn’t believe that I had gotten myself into this situation.


    “Everything is okay, Olivia,” Alexander assured me and tucked a lock of my hair behind my ears. “There’s no need to freak out.”


    His touch calmed my racing heart and my eyes fluttered closed. Why was my body begging for him to kiss me? Why did I desire the one man that was off–limits?


    After a moment, I realized that the vibrator was still buzzing in my hands. As a blush spread through my cheeks, I quickly switched off the toy. Hurriedly, I unplugged it from the wall and stuffed it back under my bed, silently scolding myself for being careless and not shutting my door all the way.


    Alexander stood up straight and looked down at me with an unreadable expression. “There’s no need to be embarrassed,” he murmured and put his hands in his pockets. This movement made the muscles in his arms flex, distracting me for a moment. “I know that it was just a massager,”

    But from the way his lips quirked and the subtle way that his expression darkened, I wasn’t so sure about that.


    *Olivia*


    Alexander was still staring at me with a little smirk on his face. A warm blush was spreading across my face, and I kept ncing at the spot under the bed where I’d shoved my vibrator.


    Looking back, since I hid it so quickly, that probably made my ‘massager‘ seem more vulgar. I needed to get Alexander out of my


    room.


    “Come on,” I said. “Let’s go find the kitten. I’m sure my…massager scared her.”


    The smile on his face widened. “Oh, yeah. I think the vibration really frightened her.”


    I bypassed the color red, and I was sure that my face became maroon.


    We left my room, and I made sure to shut my door firmly this time. After a few minutes of looking, we found the kitten hiding under my couch. Alexander coaxed her out, and I couldn’t help the grin that crossed my face when I saw how good he was with her.


    “Let’s eat before the food gets cold,” I said when the cat was calmed down and sleeping on a pillow on the couch.


    As we ate our soup, I studied him. He seemed to be rxed and acting normal. But that made me overthink things. I was sure that Alexander was just trying to make me feel better, and he knew what the ‘massager‘ actually was. It was nice that he was trying not to embarrass me by ying along. But still, the thought that my boss–who I’d shared a couple of passionate kisses with–found out that I had a vibrator made my whole body flush. I couldn’t just sit here and eat

    dinner with him like that didn’t just happen.


    At that moment, Alexander looked up at me, but he thankfully chose not toment on my obvious embarrassment. We had a quiet dinner, and after he helped me clean up, he picked up the sleeping kitten and wished me goodnight.


    “Where will she sleep tonight?” I asked and nodded to the kitten still asleep in his strong arms.


    “I might take her to my parents‘ house to sleep in the garden,” he said.


    My mouth dropped open. After how well he has treated the cat so far, why would he make her sleep outside?


    “Are you kidding me?” I said. “That’s crazy.”


    “Why is that crazy?”


    “For one, she might escape, and a little kitten couldn’t survive on the streets on her own, and she’s not an outdoor cat. My…massager made her so scared. Think about how all the sounds outside will terrify her.” I put my hands on my hips. “Do you want her to be traumatized on her first night with you?”
