“Good morning,” I said to her with a smile on my face .
Tabitha glared at me, the black silk robe barely falling below her buttocks. “What the hell happened last night? Why did I wake up naked ?”
I chuckled. “Whatever less than honorable thing you think I did to you, I assure you that you are wrong .”
“I remember you told Selina you were going to take me home. This is not my home. Do you have any idea how drunk I was? Don’t you think that you took advantage of me ?”
My cheeks flushed. “Easy now. I didn’t do a damn thing to you. I didn’t want your puke covered clothing in my bed though. So yeah, I stripped you, but I promise it’s nothing I haven’t seen before a dozen times .”
“You mean we didn’t…” Her voice trailed off .
“Of course not. I’m not that kind of guy. Plus, we are related, remember ?”
“Oh Jesus,” she groaned as she sat down. “I was hoping at least that part was made up .”
“Sorry, no such luck. It looks like we are going to be stuck with each other for some time now .”
“I’m sorry,” she muttered. “I didn’t mean for it to come out that way .”
“It’s okay.” I grinned. “I know you didn’t. How is your head feeling? You were, well very drunk last night .”
“I know,” whispered Tabitha. “I can remember most of what happened .”
“So, then you knew that I was your stepbrother, even in the car?” I asked her .
She bit her lip and nodded .
I almost leapt over the island that separated us to get to that seductive lip. I wanted to taste it for myself and see what was so enticing. Her tongue ran across the lip where her teeth had just been and instantly the desire inside of me was overpowering. The way she used her tongue made me wonder how fast it could dart in and out of my mouth in a teasing manner. It would be a pleasure to show her just how much I could do with my tongue. My eyes ran over her body, past the exposed cleavage of the robe and down her body to where I could see her thighs .
Thinking about the night before in the car I wondered if she would do the same move for me now. I knew that she wasn’t wearing panties this time. I’d painstakingly removed them the night before. It was easy then, she needed me as a professional and not a lover. Now that she was awake and so freaking hot, it was a different story all together. I knew that she felt the same passion, but there was so much standing in our way .
“I made you some coffee,” I croaked as my phone rang. “I will see if your clothes are clean then we can get you home .”
The look of disappointment was almost more than I could take. I had to turn away from her as I answered my phone. It was Mary .
“Hi Doctor, I just got your messages that you were going to be in late today and I wanted to make sure that everything was okay. You haven’t been late a single day since I started here .”
“Yes Mary,” I said to her. I knew that she wasn’t really concerned. She and the rest of the office staff were all wondering who I’d gone home with the night before, but it was none of their business. “Everything is fine. Please just reschedule everything I had planned today. We can pick up again on Monday .”
“Sir? Are you saying you want to close down the office for the entire day?” she stammered .
“That’s what I said,” I replied quickly. I turned back around to Tabitha. She was watching me intently. “I have other plans for the day. It’s one of the perks of being boss. I can call off whenever I want. You and the rest of the staff can stay or go home. I’ll leave that up to you .”
“Are you feeling well?” she asked before adding, “If there is anything that you need I would be happy to bring it to you .”
; “I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. I just have something more important to take care of today. That will be all, Mary, I would appreciate a little bit of peace and quiet if you don’t mind .”
Without another word, I hung up the phone and turned my full attention back to Tabitha. She started to blush and looked down at her coffee cup .
“So why didn’t you bring me back to my place last night? That was the plan, wasn’t it ?”
I shrugged. There was no good way to answer that question without upsetting her. I couldn’t very well tell her that she lived in a terrible place. I had no idea what her situation was. It wasn’t my place to react the way I did .
“I don’t know, my place was closer,” I murmured .
“Really?” she said with a frown. “I could have sworn we went to my place at one point .”
“Alcohol messes with your mind like that,” I said .
She leaned forward on the counter. “Does this mean that you are going to give me the family discount on my breasts ?”
I sighed and rolled my eyes. “I don’t know why you want to change yourself. You are perfect the way that you are .”
She laughed. “That’s easy for you to say. You have everything !”
Tabitha looked around my penthouse in awe. I knew that it was a lot to take in. My lavish lifestyle often impressed the woman who came over here. For the first time I was a little ashamed of the intense level of wealth that I had laying around. I was proud of the money I’d earned, but it did seem a little bit overkill now that she was there .
“Listen,” I said carefully. “I will do it for a discounted price if you will do something for me first .”
Once again, she bit her lip and my mind started to wander. Her cheeks flushed a deep red as she leaned forward, showing off the perfect breasts that she wanted to change. I shook my head, trying to stay focused .
“I will do them for you, but only if you take a few days to think about it first. Let me help you to get back on your feet and do a few interviews without the new breasts first .”
