"You h So him away from the Caraicans His plan is still to return"

Randall's smile fades a little "I understand I won't pressure him"

"That would be good He can be a very stubborn man," I say with a smile

"Tonight will be very casual I'e, and I figured it would be nice for him to have some friends he can pal around with"

"Sounds lovely," I tell hi to take a shower, if you don't mind, and then we'll just see you for dinner at seven"

"Thank you, Dr Reed," Randall says, his voice thick with e my boy home"

"You're welco to think that Zach has come home

Chapter 13

Zach

A knock sounds softly on a side door in my room that I had noticed earlier but didn't pay anythere We're due to go down to dinner in about fifteen minutes I'm not surprised to see her, but I a where she came from

"Looks like our rooms connect," Moira says by way of explanation and points back into the bedroom I can now see over her shoulder

"Interesting," I say out loud, even asinto her rooht

Fuck, I' this woman, and not exactly even sure if I'd be welcory over her denial ofto do with her

That lasted all of about five minutes

Then it was back to this insane, unue with myself for another three days that it was foolish to even pursue anything further We are too different I can't afford to lose control She wants things of ive

I still have no more clarity on the issue

Moira walks past s her hips and stops just above her knees She paired it with a light blue, sleeveless top so I can see the hint of freckles on her shoulders As is nor and loose and I'h it

Preferably with her bent over beforeher from behind

But no, that's not quite true Not preferably The minute Moira told me the other day she wanted to takeabout that I immediately shut that notion down because I didn't think I would be able to handle it and not lose control with her But the prospect of sinkingher face still while I pu an erection and need to think of so else

"How old are you, Moira?" I ask her, as it's so I've been curious about

She walks over to htly, she says, "Cultural lesson nue"

I can't help the smile that pops back at her "Oh, yeah Why is that?"

"BecauseA direct question is apparently interpreted to ard Maybe you should consider Botox'"

"What's Botox?" I ask in confusion

Moira giggles and shakes her head with laughing eyes "It's so and pretty But to answer your question, I'ht"

"Older than me by three years," I muse out loud

"You missed a prime opportunity," she teases as she stands from the bed "You should have said, 'Moira, you don't look a day over twenty-one You are so youthful and beautiful, you'll never need Botox'"

I can't help but smirk at her "You don't need me to tell you that You know that already"

Co to stand before me, Moira pats my forearm "See, that's just it, Zach Women are insecure creatures at times We absolutely need to hear that"

"Not you," I scoff "You are the most confident woman I've ever known"
