Her phone started ringing as soon as she left the building. Pulling it out of her bag, she saw Roman’s name on the screen. She answered straight away.
“Hey. I’m ok.” She continued to walk towards the bus stop she had arranged for Roman to pick her up from.
“Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you,” Roman said in a demanding tone.
“No, you are not. You will meet me at the bus stop like we arranged.” She would not back down.
“Blair…” She could hear he was upset by her stubbornness. “He followed you out of the building.”
“Knowing you, Roman, you have Peters following him right now to make sure he isn’t following me. So I’m safe. If it makes you feel better, you can stay on the line with me while I walk.”
When he didn’t deny her charge about Peters following Dan, she knew she was right.
“Fine, but I don’t like it,” came his frustrated voice over the phone.
Blair changed the subject of the conversation as she continued to walk, her heels clicking on the sidewalk. “I have to go home on Sunday in the morning. I will be back in the afternoon.”
“Have you told your family about your broken engagement?”
“Yes, but my aunt hasn’t taken it well. I have been ordered home. I’m sure to try to talk me around to their way of thinking. Which is so not going to happen. I think I need to tell you the full story. I think I need an enormous glass of wine in front of me before I start.”
“That sounds like an epic drama.” Came his warm, chocolaty voice. He sounded relaxed now. She would bet the farm that he had just received a message from Peters that Dan wasn’t following her. “Red or White?”
“Red, Oh it’s epic all right. Are you sure you want to know about it? I’m happy to give you the cut–down version, if you prefer.” Not so sure it was a good idea sharing her family details with Roman. it wasn’t like they were a couple.
“I want to know everything,” Roman told her.
“I will remind you that you said that once your ears start bleeding.” Blair said as she reached the bus stop. “I’m at the bus stop.❞
“I’m pulling up now.”
Making her turn to see his car doing just that. The passenger door was right in front of her. She opened it and slid into the car. Quickly doing up her seatbelt so he could go and wouldn’t get a ticket. As soon as she was buckled in, he merged into the traffic.
“I want to kiss you, but if I do, I won’t stop.” Roman confessed. Blair reached over and put her hand on his thigh.
Leaning in, she breathed in his ear. “I have never done it in a car before.” She was shocked at herself. Where the hell had the sex kitten act come from? But when Roman jumped in his seat saying. “Fuck.” she really didn’t care and like the effect she had on him and it was only fair he had the same effect on her. “Yeah, kinda what I was just saying.”
She ran her fingers along the seam of his inside leg, making him groan aloud.
When they pulled up at a red light. Roman turned his laser intense gaze on her. Grabbing her chin in his fingers, holding her head so she couldn’t turn away. “Let’s get one thing straight. What we do isn’t fucking.”
Blair lost her breath. She hadn’t expected the force of his statement. He seemed almost angry. Licking her lips before daring

to ask. “What would you call it, then?”
Roman watched her the way her breath had increased and her flushed cheeks. He leaned in, saying a hair breath away from her mouth. “I’ll tell you when I think you’re ready.”
Blair squeezed her legs together to stop the ache that had started a tempo down there the minute he had moved in closer.
The spell was broken when a horn sounded behind them. Roman looked around to the light, seeing it was green. “Shit.” He set the car back in motion. Blair watched as he adjusted himself a few times in his seat. Realizing he was hard. She couldn’t help but grin. They affected each other the same way. Her pussy was pulsing, so it was only fair he should be hard. He flicked his eyes in her direction, catching her grin.
His eyes darkened. “You think it’s funny, do you?” Looking back to the road.
Blair tried to school her features to hide her smile. But she burst out laughing. Laying her hand back on his thigh again. “I feel the same. But having sex in view of other drivers isn’t on my agenda and I’m sure not yours.” Knowing if anyone snapped a photo of them, it would have ended up in the media. Roman was that well known. Any titbits about him always ended up in some gossip column. It was part of the reason she wanted to keep quiet about their affair.
Roman captured her hand from his lap, bringing it up to his mouth for a kiss before settling it back in place on his thigh, laying his hand over hers in between changing gears. “If only you knew what you do to me.”
She had a pretty good idea if it was anything like what he could do to her with just a look. All the time she had worked for him, she hadn’t realized. It was like she had walked around with blinders on and when they had been lifted, the only person she saw was Roman. It had shown the level of commitment she had given Dan, never looking at another man. Which hadn’t stopped him from looking at other women.
All she could think now was thank god this had come out now. She hadn’t gone through a marriage or had children with him. The way he had brushed it off as nothing showed her he could never be trusted. Maybe she should feel sorry for Laura because she was going to have a hard time of it.
