I couldn’t help but wonder what he’d been through — what else was this man hiding about his past? While I didn’t want to push, I knew soon enough I would be poking around for answers. The only way we would ever last is if we finally shared all our demons. I would have to put mine out there as well and I wasn’t ready to do it yet, so I let him keep his secrets for a while longer.

Epilogue

John

Since I was without a secretary, I didn’t want to have to work, but I also had a lot of appointments to reschedule from taking the day off unexpectedly to fuck Alix senseless. That night while we lay in bed, she played on her phone while I glanced through résumés.

We had to figure out what to do with her house and get her moved in, but knowing she wanted to live with me was enough for now. The rest could come later.

She slapped her hand on the mattress and turned toward me with a huge smile on her face. “That’s it! I know who will be your secretary!” she exclaimed excitedly.

“Who?” She hadn’t mentioned anything about it before then so I really had no idea who she was talking about.

“Jennifer! She works downstairs and I think she’d be perfect. She’s a freak and super energetic. We were just talking and she said something about being tired of her job. I bet she’d fit in perfectly at your practice.” I’d never seen Alix so eager and excited about something outside of the bedroom or playroom.

“I don’t know,” I sighed, scratching my cheek while thinking about the perky woman I’d met many times. “She’s a little too energetic. I would have to deal with her every day and that might drive me crazy.”

“Oh, baby, I would help calm you down whenever you needed some release,” she soothed, running a hand over my bare chest.

“Let me think about it.”

“Okay.” She pouted and sat back defeatedly.

The next day I found myself welcoming Jennifer into the office so I could show her around. Turned out Alix was pretty good at convincing me to see things her way when she really wanted to. I couldn’t complain too much, as getting a replacement for Mariah so quickly would save me quite a few headaches. It didn’t matter to me she hadn’t given a two-week notice. The hotel would easily be able to replace her while it was much harder to get someone competent to work for me.

Before I knew it, the day was over. Between training Jennifer and calling my appointments to reschedule, the hours had flown by. Not to mention Alix stopped by at lunch time for a quickie on my desk. Yet again it turned out she made me forget where I was and what I normally did when she put her mind to it.

As I walked out of the building to collect Alix from the hotel, I spotted a blonde I would happily never see again. Mariah.

“This isn’t over, John. You are mine and I am not giving up on you so easily,” she said before walking away from me.

I had a stalker of my own it appeared. One who was hell-bent on destroying my relationship with Alix.

No, things with Mariah weren’t over. I would have to warn Alix and figure out a way to make Mariah see we were over no matter what she thought.
