Alexander had the ability to truly break me if I let him into my heart. I didn’t think I would ever recover if things ended badly between us.
That was why spending the night in the same apartment as him was like playing with fire.

After I was finished in the bathroom, I stepped out, planning to head right to my bedroom and stay there. Then, I wouldn’t tempt fate.
That plan went downhill as soon as I opened the bathroom door.
Because standing right outside my door in a sexy black robe was Alexander. The robe was slightly open, exposing his tan, strong chest. The sight of his muscled pecs made my knees weak. His manly scent reminded me of campfires and freshly chopped wood.

Finally, Alexander nodded his head.
My heart stopped beating. Did that mean he agreed? Did he want to be irresponsible tonight? Could we give ourselves a pass from the world and be in our own little bubble just for one night? Would that be completely crazy? It felt like I was always overthinking everything. I was starting to become exhausted by my racing thoughts that wouldn’t stop. For once, I just wanted to not think. Just for one night, I wanted to pretend like Alexander wasn’t my boss and things between us weren’t complicated.
He reached up and trailed his finger down my cheek, leaving a sizzling trail in his wake. A shiver ran down my spine.
