Angrily she moved away from him she looked anywhere except at him, his hand came to cup her chin she was forced to look at him.”Doesn’t matter how much you try to deny not knowing me or wanting me but your body does know me, your skin knows and these sensual lips does too. Everything about you does and I will have you in my bed again. Soon.”
“No!”She denied fiercely.”It won’t happen. It can’t. We. This.”She waved her hand back and forth between them.”It’s impossible it can never be. It won’t work I’m not who you think I am. This.”She waved another hand down her length.”Isn’t me.”
“You right you aren’t who you said you were. You’re Sage Palmer, I know and we beautiful will see each other pretty soon. Sooner than you think.”
He knows her real name but how.”No. We won’t.”She said.”I don’t ever want to see you again. Stay away from me.”She took deep breaths to calm herself, his hand came up to stroke her face.”No!”She told him.”You confusing me. Can’t you see that. I want you to stay away from me. Do you hear me? Now go I’d like to go home.”
“I’m afraid I can’t do that.”He drawled smoothly.”If there’s one thing I will not do that is stay away from you. This fire between us is unstoppable, you cannot stop something that is meant to be. Goodnight beautiful. Till we meet again.” Just like that he was gone leaving her even more confused than she already is. Damn the man she thought. The driver came and they left. Sage cannot believe she’d given him free reign like that over her body, he could’ve taken her right there on the back seat of the taxi if he hadn’t stopped when he did she’d be naked now screaming out his name. The fact that he knows her real name complicates things even further it’s only a matter of time before he finds out where she lives after all his company hired the company she was working for to clean his building. She wanted to pay the driver but he said Bruno already did, the man was too much. After her quick shower she made sure the boys were okay, when she’d come she had found Casey on the couch fast asleep with her studying books next to her, Sage had woke her up and told her to go to bed.
If only she can sleep too Sage thought she’d hope the shower would calm her heated body yet it didn’t, she can still feel his hands all over her, his lips on hers and her neck, his hands on her breasts Sage shuddered at the thought. She will not sleep with him again, she can resist him and this passion, can resist the current that’s pulling her towards him. Some worlds aren’t meant to collide and theirs can’t, she’s a cleaner for goodness sake. A cleaner! The help. Kim had been right when she’d said men like him don’t date girls like them, she’s the hired help why on earth would he want her. No it cannot be. It’s impossible. It’s bad enough that she’s cleaning his company, his office she doesn’t want to think about what will happen the day he finds out. Will he still want her then. The big question is can she still work there knowing who is he. Can she move on and pretend all is well when deep down she’s keeping a secret from him, a secret that can change everyone’s life forever including her own. Can she do it?
“How are you feeling?”Kim asked her the following day.”And why did you leave without waiting for me.”
Early this morning Sage had come back to her flat, she wanted to be in her own space.”I forgot the boys insulin shots.”She lied.”I’m sorry I didn’t call.”She has alot going on in her head even yoga this morning didn’t help to calm her mind that’s working over time.
“It’s okay. Your headache.”She reminded Sage.
“Oh that. I feel fine. It’s nothing a good night’s rest couldn’t fix.”Not that she could sleep.”Kim there’s something I’d like to ask you. Can I get you anything.”
“No, Luca is on his way we going out for breakfast. What’s wrong?”
“Would it be okay if I swap floors with Sammy or Cameron.”There’s no way she can clean his space not now that she knows who he truly is. It would be too intimate.
“May I ask why.”Kim said.
She cannot possible tell Kim that their boss is the twin’s father and that she was sexually drawn to him, she couldn’t do it.”No. I was just asking.”
“Sage I told you before there’s no one I trust more to be up there. The other girls are too immature when it comes to hiding their feelings they might end up doing something stupid as leave their phone numbers on his desk or asking for his that’s the last thing we need and if we lose this contract everything will go south.”Sage only nodded.”You’ve seen and heard how they act when it comes to Mr Romero they cannot control their feelings, picture what will happen if they gonna be in his personal space. You saw how eye candy he is last night.”Oh she sure did. Kim touched her hand.”Did something happen last night.”
Sage’s thoughts went back to when he’d kissed her in the cab last night when his hands had been all over her, and how close she’d come to being naked in his arms on the back seat of a cab. Oh yeah something almost happened yesterday.”No.”She smiled.”How was the rest of the party.”She asked instead.
“It went well. Although when it was time to announce his engagement, the man in question was nowhere to be found.”Engagement? She looked at Kim confused.”I’m talking about Bruno or should I say Mr Romero.”
He was getting engaged she felt as if someone had hit her low in the abdomin hitting all the air out of her lungs, that’s how she felt right now. Disappointed. And she shouldn’t feel this way it’s not as if they in a relationship. They don’t even know each other. But your body knows him very well a little voice said at the back of her head, your skin remembers everything about him and last night said it all Sage shut the voice in her head and brought her mind back to the present.”He’s engaged.”She said.”To whom.”But Sage has a feeling it was the beautiful blonde she’d seen him with, the one who barely left his side.
“Not yet.”Kim clarified.”He was suppose to announce it but wasn’t there so they postpone it for another day. He’s going to marry Maya’s sister, Lana.”Kim certainly knows alot but yet again Luca was friends with them.
“Two brothers will be married to two sisters.”Sage stood up when she heard one of the boys were awake.
“Dating in the family.”Kim said.”Anyway I have to go. Enjoy your day.”
“You too.”Sage said and walked her out.”Mommy finally knows who your daddy is my boys.”She told the twins when Kim was gone.”His name is Bruno Romero and he’s just as handsome as you two.”They smiled at her with their gorgeous grey eyes, the same eyes as their father.”Oh what is mommy gonna do? Everything is so confusing. Should I even tell him about you.”Logan put his tiny fist in his mouth, she fetched their teethers ever since they began teething they drooling all over the place and want to put anything that’s anything into their mouths even leaving them on the floor was becoming a problem cause whatever they find is edible for them. They growing so fast and quick, she has to clean the place first before letting them play on the floor, she doesn’t want to risk them getting sick. Kissing them both she prepared their food, halfway through feeding them her cell rang it was a number she didn’t know she let it go straight to voicemail, five minutes later it rang again.”Hello.”She said balancing her mobile between her shoulder and ear.
“Morning beautiful.”Sage froze at hearing his voice, she looked around her to see if he was here.”Did you have a good night.”
No I didn’t and it’s all thanks to you she thought.”How did you get my number I don’t remember giving it to.”
“I’ll take that as a no.”He said ignoring her question.”Did you have breakfast yet.”
No she hasn’t but she wasn’t about to tell him that.”What do you want. Why have you called me. I told you to stay away from me.”She wiped Liam and Logan’s mouths.
“Then you know I’m not gonna listen to you.”
“Does your fiance know you calling me.”The line went quiet.”What? Did you think I wouldn’t find out.”
“She’s not my fiance.”He said.
“Do you really expect me to believe you.”
“No I don’t.”He said surprising her.”Have dinner with me Sage.”
She looked at the twins.”I can’t.”
“I know you not married or seeing anyone so why are you really saying no.”
Sage was shocked what else does he know.”Because we have nothing in common and we don’t even-….”
“Please don’t start with the ‘we don’t know each other nonsense’ again.”He said cutting over her.”Our bodies know each other very well. Do you wanna deny that.”
