enough to make Fiona melt. Her throat felt dry despite the drink.
“Not long. I’m just here waiting for my friend, Jasmine.”
Jax was quiet a moment as he looked Fiona up and down. His eyes roamed her body from her long legs to her tiny waist then resting upon her big firm breasts clearly visible through the skimpy dress.
“I’m Jax Becker. What’s your name, beautiful?”
Fiona blushed slightly. She was used to men ogling her and calling her beautiful, but Jax was different.
“Fiona Wright. Look, I don’t want to waste your time. I’m not here for a hook up. I just came with my girlfriend, Jasmine and now I want to leave.”
Jax gave her a slow sexy smile that made her panties instantly wet.
“I’m sorry, did I say anything about a hook up, Fiona? I just saw a beautiful girl sitting here alone getting harassed by that asshole bartender, Marc and I wanted to save you. Just trying to be nice.” Jax stood up from the barstool.
“Hey, I’m sorry, Jax. I just had a long day and all these lights are giving me the worst headache. You just caught me at a bad time.” Fiona smiled weakly.
Jax nodded. He slid back down onto the barstool next to her.
“I understand. No harm done. So what is it you do, Fiona?” His hand moved closer to brush her arm sending chills throughout her body.
“I’m the executive assistant to Skylar Manning.”
“The hedge fund manager? Manning Capital? Wow, he’s worth billions! Must be an exciting job!” Jax’s eyes widened.
Fiona flipped her long hair back so that fell past her shoulders. Subconsciously, she wet her lips. Jax was so incredibly sexy she could hardly breathe. Her bra tightened as her breasts swelled in anticipation of his touch.
“So what do you do, Jax?”
Motioning to Marc, the bartender for another drink, he moved even closer to Fiona.
“I’m an IT consultant. I work independently; do a lot of different things for a lot of different companies.”
“Funny you don’t look like an IT geek.”
“We’re not all geeks.” Jax grinned.
“I can see that.”
“In fact, some of us do nothing but work out and fuck when we’re not working.” Jax boldly ran his strong hand up Fiona’s firm thigh.
Shocked, she leaned back. His touch was electrifying sending shock waves through her body and he’d only touched her thigh. She could only imagine how good it would feel to have his hands all over her….
Still, it was a bold move one that she wasn’t comfortable with. Fiona slid off the barstool to leave. Jax grabbed her arm.
“Hey, I’m sorry, Fiona. Must be those drinks. I don’t normally come on so strong.”
“I don’t fuck random guys from bars. Go find someone else if that’s what you’re looking for.” Angrily, Fiona snatched her purse from the bar and spun on her heel. The floor was slick from spilled beer her tall heels slid and down she fell.
“Oh my God, are you okay?” Jax bent to help her up. Her face burning from embarrassment and heavy alcohol consumption Fiona allowed Jax to help her stand.
“I’m fine. I’m just tired and ready to leave. Jasmine’s over there by the door. I need to tell her I’m leaving. It was great to meet you, Jax.” Fiona stumbled to the door. Jax followed her.
“Hey, girl, I’ve had enough for tonight. I’ll bring the dress back tomorrow.”
Jasmine gave her a confused look.
“Thought you were partying, Fiona. Looks like you’ve found yourself quite a catch there.” Jasmine nodded towards Jax.
“No, we just met, Jasmine. I’m going home. Long day tomorrow.” She leaned in for a hug. The two women embraced briefly.
“You sure, Fiona? He’s hot. If you don’t take him home, I might.” Her voice low so Jax couldn’t hear.
Fiona rolled her eyes at Jasmine. As she walked out of the club, she motioned for a cab.
“Hey, let me take you home, Fiona. I feel badly for coming on so strong. No strings. I just want to make sure you get home all right.” Jax grinned at her with a
