Chicago tonight?”
Jennifer eyed him. “I don’t know. Depends. Why are you asking?”
James smiled. “Well, this is my home. I’d love to show you some places while we’re here. You probably don’t know any of this stuff about me.” Jennifer pursed her lips together in consideration. After a while, she spoke softly.
“I always thought you didn’t want me to know much about you.”
James held her gaze. He shruggled after a moment and glanced down, but didn’t return his eyes to Jennifer’s. Instead, he turned in his seat and drew a seat belt over his chest.
“There might have been a time where I thought that was a better choice.” It was an honest answer, through and through.
Jennifer ran a hand through her hair and drew her seat belt in the same fashion. The driver situated themselves in the front seat. He made eye contact with James and nodded, not even needing a word as to their first destination. In the back seat, James noticed Jennifer’s interest with the passing world as the driver stepped on the gas.
“It’s so green here,” she commented, a bit in awe.
“You’ve never been to New Jersey?” Jennifer shook her head. “What about New York?”
“Just for the auction,” she admitted, turning back to James. “I’ve never been this far on the East Coast.”
“Beaches?”
“Just the lake,” Jennifer grinned. “That counts, doesn’t it?”
James laughed. “Wow, woman. You need to get out more.”
“I can’t. I was too busy busting my ass working for you.”
James knew she meant it as a joke, but it struck him somewhere deep inside. Jennifer’s face changed, growing serious.
“I didn’t mean that,” she said quickly.
“Yes you did,” James replied just as curtly. His voice was a little more edged than he meant it to be. He wanted to tell her that he never asked her to work so hard, then again, after all those years, he never told her to stop, did he? Not until recently when he finally decided to incur more costs and get someone to supplement the trivial nature of the mential tasks her position covered.
“I guess I’ve been a bit of a jerk to work for, huh?” James asked, watching Jennifer studiously. A genuine smile played across her full, beautiful lips.
“You never made me work so hard.”
“But I never stopped you either.”
“How could you know I worked at night and on my days off?”
“You work on your days off?” James shook his head. “Please don’t tell me you do that.”
Sheepishly, Jennifer shrugged. The smile was falling, but still lingered. She closed her mouth and said nothing more. Within seconds, the gril grew again to another tempting smile. What he wouldn’t give to lean towards her and take those lips into his own.
The car felt significantly more cramped than the cabin they had flown into New Jersey on. His leg rested comfortable against Jennifer’s leg and he wanted to slide a hand along the top of her thigh.
James grinned back at her, unsure of what signals she was sending to him. The conversation could go one of several ways from where they were, but judging by her smile, James’s figured he was on a good path. He just didn’t understand why.
“What’s going on behind that beautiful smile?” James asked with the most sultry voice he could muster. Jennifer wet her lips and bit the bottom one before answering.
“I could ask you the same thing.”
“Hmm.”
Tit for tat.
Jennifer raised her eyebrows at him, but said nothing more. She turned towards the window and crossed her bare legs again. James ran his eyes down the length of her body. He tried to discreetly let out the breath he had been holding in. He swore that each and every second he spent in her presence was exponentially growing her level of sexiness.
Maybe he would need to book her a ticket commerically to return home. He didn’t like that idea though and he was pretty certain that it would only be taken as an insult.
