The dawn was already breaking on the horizon. Everything that had happened the previous night slammed into her. What had she just done? Yeah sure, she said she would be their surrogate, but she never thought that would mean sleeping with him.

Not that she was complaining. It had to be the best sex she had ever had in her life, but it just didn’t feel right. What happened now? She couldn’t keep sleeping with the man. If she did, there was a high chance that she could grow attached to him. That wouldn’t be so bad except for the part where he was her boss and very married. She went to get up when she felt his arm reach across her and bring her back to the bed.

“Where are you going?”

“I have work to do.”

“Not right now.” His voice was strict and she turned to look at him in disbelief.

“I have stuff that I have to get done. I cannot spend the day in bed.”

“Why not?” He grinned, now showing her his perfect white teeth. Part of her wanted to smack the smile from his face and the other part wanted to kiss him and climb on top of him again. “Give me time,” he continued.

“For what?” She looked at him like he was crazy, not understanding what he was saying.

“For round two. I see the look in your eyes. You look like you’re searching for your next meal. I, my dear, would be glad to be it but give me a couple of minutes.”

“Look. This is not what I was thinking when I said I would be your surrogate. And I know it’s not what Elizabeth was thinking.”

“Elizabeth has her own life. She is seeing her boyfriend and they travel the world. We have an open marriage. It was set up by my parents anyway. What she thinks or says now doesn’t matter, dear Alicia. It’s us and only us here. And I don’t do this only because you accepted to be our surrogate. I love you, I told you that.”

“Me too…” She said and smiled. Then another thought covered the first one. “Oh!” She had forgotten that it was Saturday and Elizabeth came home early. She began to panic and tried to rise from the bed again, but he held her still. She really couldn’t lose her job.

“Elizabeth will be gone all weekend. Don’t worry! She’s with her boyfriend and the good news is we can have lots of practice.” As if he read her thoughts, he answered her silent question, wiggling his eyebrows at her. “Or you don’t want to spend the weekend with me?” He teased her.

Alicia lay her hand on his shoulder. “Of course I do. It’s just that I… I thought that we would go to a hospital for… you know, the baby.” She finally admitted her fears. It couldn’t leave her mind that Steven was consciously using her only to get the desired heir.

“What? Do you mean in a stuffy old clinic somewhere?” He gave her a look of disgust. “No thanks, honey. I’m not jerking off to some magazine and putting my swimmers in a cup. That just sounds wrong. Not to mention this way is a lot more fun. And I love it this way. I want you to be the biological mother of my child, Alicia. Believe me. I’ve always wanted you. Since the day you stepped into this house. Do you know how many times I would have to leave the room with you in there because I thought I wouldn’t be able to contain myself from throwing you on the floor and having my way with you?” She felt a shiver of desire course through her. He looked at her and smiled. “You feel it too. Well, my dear, how about we take a shower and then work on round two?”

 “Round two?” His hands had loosened their grip on her skin and she was able to jump up and away from him. “I have work to do.” She tried to sound tough, but she was grinning and then she turned to make her way over to where her clothes were at.
