All they needed for the moment was to lie in each other’s arms. No words were spoken between them for a while as their breathing slowed back to normal. Now it was Teagan’s turn to break the silence. “You do realize that things just got real complicated?”
“If it’s the tiger, thing I can understand,” he said to her.
“It’s not just that. It’s the fact that technically, you are my boss. You might not be my direct boss, but you’re my boss. Most companies frown on employees having intimate relationships with each other. Also, you’re leaving tomorrow to go back to wherever you live.”
“I’m not sure how to handle the whole sleeping with your boss thing. I can tell you, the tiger in me is very controlled and won’t interfere with our relationship. All I can say, Teagan, is I have never met a woman like you. I want to see where this goes. We’ll figure out how to make this work. That is if you want to make it work. As for my living situation, I can always move. Why not? I am tired of living in the big city. It might be good for me to get a place closer to the office here. My other business is doing great, and I can fly back when I need to. It is in the hands of some of my most trusted employees. I know they’ll keep things running right.” He looked into her bright green eyes. “Say you’ll give this a try.”
How could she resist such a smile? She still thought that it would be dangerous being intimate with the boss, but they had already crossed that line. She couldn’t deny the fact that she was falling for him, and would love the chance to see if it was something that would work or not. “All right, I’ll give it a go. I’ll see where this leads us.”
Max started imagining a life with her. He might just be able to have the relationship that he desired. Teagan said she was going to shower, and walked to the bathroom. Max padded into the living room area and picked up his phone off the end table. He was so glad to have a fairly strong signal this far into the woods. The first thing he did was call Mr. Perry and apologize for his missing in action status. He informed him that everything was great with the company and that he’d be going home the next day, but would be back in the near future. Next, he checked his emails. One in particular caught his eye. It was from Vanessa.
He was just finished reading as Teagan came in wearing just a towel. The need to have her again was stirring in him. “Is everything alright?” she asked him.
“Yeah, sure it is,” he replied as he glanced at the email again before shutting down his laptop. Well, it seemed he had more than one reason to move to this town.
