Page 47 of His Secret Virgin

“I’ve just gotta say this really quick. My parents are making me go to Canada this weekend for their anniversary trip. I don’t know what to do.” I wanted to reach out and touch him but didn’t dare.

The way his eyes drooped told me he’d had a bad day already and that this wasn’t helping. “Damn.”

“Are you okay?” I asked, and then I looked at the numbers as they flashed with each floor we passed. Our time was running out.

“I’ll be fine. The Chinese merchants want a different deal than we’d planned. And my ex-wife is trying to weasel her way into my home. And now this.” He stepped toward me and pulled me into his arms. “God, I need you, baby.”

My heart hurt so much as he held onto me. The ding of the elevator had us jumping apart. We’d reached the top floor. “Maybe we can meet at our place after work?”

“I’ll be too busy trying to close this deal with them.” He looked at the doors as they opened. “Fuck it. Meet me there around ten. Tell your parents you’re going to Concord to pick up some things our guests left behind, and that we’ve set you up to stay the night there.” Then he walked out, leaving me there as the doors closed on me once more.

I felt as if I were in the middle of a whirlwind. My head was a little out of it, wondering what had just happened, but I was also elated that I would get to spend the night with my sexy man again.

But what about the weekend?
