Before I could process this, his tablet chimed from the bedside table. I looked over to see the same name flashing on the screen. Katherine was apparently trying every method to reach him.
I picked up the tablet, intending to silence it, when I noticed the notification showed multiple missed calls from the same contact over the past few days. Three yesterday. Two the day before.
My finger accidentally swiped the screen, opening his photos app. I froze.
Staring back at me was Katherine, the mysterious ex–girlfriend I’d been so curious about. She was even more stunning than I’d imagined. Long blonde hair, piercing eyes, and a smile that lit up her entire face. Alexander had his arm around her waist, looking at her with an expression I’d never seen on his face before.
I swiped again, unable to stop myself. More photos. Katherine in a bikini on a yacht. Katherine and Alexander at some gala, her in a red dress that hugged every perfect curve. Katherine asleep in what looked like Alexander’s bed, the sheets barely covering her naked body.
“Fuck,” I whispered, my chest tightening. I quickly set the tablet down, feeling like I’d been punched in the gut.
Why was she calling him now? After all this time? And why did he still have her number saved with those stupid heart emojis?
I heard the shower turn off and quickly grabbed my phone, pretending to be absorbed in it. My mind raced with questions. Should I tell him? Would he be angry that I saw the photos?
Alexander emerged from the bathroom with just a towel wrapped low on his hips, water droplets still clinging to his chest. Any other time, the sight would have had me ready for another round, but now all I could think about was Katherine and those heart emojis.
“See something you like?” he asked, catching me staring.
I forced a smile. “Just admiring the view p>
He walked to his closet, dropping the towel without a hint of modesty. I watched his muscular ass as he bent to retrieve a pair of boxer briefs.
“Your phone was ringing,” I said casually, keeping my voice light. “Several times, actually p>
Alexander paused for a fraction of a second before continuing to dress. “Probably work. I’ll check it later p>
I bit my lip, debating whether to mention Katherine’s name. Something held me back. I glanced at the tablet, wondering if he’d notice I’d seen the photos.
He pulled on a crisp white shirt, buttoning it with practiced efficiency.
I watched him carefully, “Your tablet was ringing too p>
“Was it?” He didn’t even look at it.

He picked up his phone from the nightstand, glanced at it briefly, and set it down without checking the missed
calls.
“Not going to call back?” I asked.
“Later.” He looked at me, his eyes traveling over my naked body with appreciation. “Right now, much better view p>
I’m enjoying a
I pulled the sheet higher, suddenly feeling exposed in a way that had nothing to do with my nudity. “You should get dressed. I need to head home soon to check on Mom p>
Alexander raised an eyebrow. “What’s the rush? It’s still early p>
“I just…” I struggled to find an excuse that wouldn’t reveal my discomfort. “I need to shower and change before work p>
He approached the bed, sitting on the edge next to me. His hand slid under the sheet, finding my thigh. “You could shower here.” His fingers inched higher. “And I could help you get dirty again first p>
Despite my conflicted feelings, my body responded to his touch. His fingers brushed against my still–sensitive core, making me gasp.
“Still wet for me,” he murmured, leaning in to kiss my neck. “Always so ready p>
I closed my eyes, torn between pushing him away and pulling him closer. His fingers worked their magic, circling my clit with just the right pressure. Katherine’s name flashed in my mind, but my body betrayed me, responding to his expert touch.
“Someone’s still eager,” Alexander murmured against my neck.
“I should really go,” I whispered, even as my hips lifted to meet his hand.
“Your body’s saying something different.” He slipped two fingers inside me, making me gasp. “So fucking wet already p>
My mind waged war with my body. The image of Katherine’s face on his tablet screen battled against the pleasure building between my legs.
“Look at me,” he commanded.
I opened my eyes to find his intense gaze locked on mine. Those blue eyes seemed to see right through me.
“What’s going on in that pretty head of yours?” he asked, curling his fingers to hit that spot that made me see
stars.
“Nothing,” I lied, biting my lip to stifle a moan.
Alexander’s thumb pressed against my clit as his fingers continued their assault. “Liar p>
“Fuck, ” I gasped as he increased the pressure.
He leaned down, capturing my nipple between his teeth.

My back arched off the bed. The conflict in my mind faded as pleasure took over. His mouth was hot and demanding on my breast, his tongue swirling around my nipple before sucking hard.
“Alexander,” I moaned, my hands finding their way into his hair.
He released my nipple with a wet pop. “That’s better. Now stop thinking so much and let me make you come p>
He shifted down my body, spreading my legs wider. I should stop him. I should ask about Katherine. I should-
“Holy shit!” I cried out as his mouth replaced his fingers, his tongue delving deep inside me before flattening against my clit.
“Mmm,” he hummed against me, the vibrations adding to the sensation. “Always taste so fucking good p>
My hips bucked against his face, but his strong hands held me in place. All thoughts of Katherine disappeared as he devoured me like a man starved.
“Oh god, right there,” I panted as his tongue circled my clit with just the right pressure.
He pulled back slightly, his breath hot against my sensitive flesh. “You gonna come on my tongue, Ms. Harper p>
“Yes, please,” I begged, beyond shame.
