Chapter 328 - Is that a yes? (1/2)

Next morning, JoAnna woke up in a bed full of red rose petals. She was surprised to see that the whole bedroom was covered in them as well. It looked like a red storm swept through the room. At first, JoAnna smiled, but then she saw a note on the pillow next to her, and her mood dropped. The note meant that Jeff already left for work. She sighed thinking how she would replace all the flowers in the world for morning cuddles with Jeff. JoAnna reached for the note and read:

”Good morning, beautiful!

I need to leave early, and don't want to wake you up on your day off.

Rest well and see you for lunch,

With love, Jeff”

The note made her smile. 'He is so thoughtful.' Every time Jeff left early, JoAnna found a note from him, and she would feel as if his love is embracing her in his place. But she would still prefer a real hug.

JoAnna took her time in the bed, stretching lazily and inhaling Jeff's scent from the bedsheets which mixed with rose petals.

…

JoAnna saw the car that Jeff sent for her and paused. It was a black limousine with tinted glass. She was not sure if it's the same one as one they used on Monday, but it looked the same. JoAnna remembered how they said goodbye at the airport, and she felt that her cheeks are heating up. During the drive, she glanced few times at the back seat and every time her heart rate would speed up. JoAnna forced herself to look away, in order to suppress mental images which stirred up her desires.

When they reached White corp. JoAnna dashed into the elevator that took her to the 22nd floor.

When Jeff's secretary spotted JoAnna, she stumbled out of her seat and welcomed her with a wide smile while opening the door for her. ”CEO White is expecting you.”

JoAnna returned the smile and walked into his office while trying to suppress butterflies that spread from her stomach through her body making her breathing unstable. She found Jeff at his desk, looking at some papers. With his glasses on, Jeff looked absolutely enchanting. JoAnna's feet stopped and she held her breath while taking in the scene in front of her.

She is not sure how long she stood there. It was anywhere between a second and a week before he lifted his head and their eyes met.

”Hi, beautiful...” Jeff greeted her with a smile. He stood up and walked to her. ”How was your morning?” His smile captivated her, and she nodded.

Jeff kissed her lightly on the lips.

JoAnna eagerly responded to his kiss, wrapping her arms around him and pulling herself closer. Her tongue found its way inside his mouth and hungrily explored while enjoying the taste. She was slightly aroused from her racy thoughts in the car. Seeing him so handsome with glasses on, and feeling him close, made JoAnna's body heat up. Jeff felt her desire and pulled her close to him. JoAnna was panting for air when he broke the kiss and checked his phone.

Jeff took a deep breath and cleared his throat, ”We need to leave soon.”

She mischievously smiled and glanced at his office desk, ”We can try out the desk first.”

Jeff swallowed hard, obviously controlling himself, ”We have a reservation.”

JoAnna frowned, ”Since when Jeffrey White cares about being late for lunch?” After few seconds of pouting, JoAnna decided to give it another try. She wrapped her hands around his waist and looked at him suggestively, ”We can make it quick.”

Jeff closed his eyes. After another deep breath he took her arms in his and pulled them up releasing his waist from her hold. ”This is important.” He kissed her hands.

Office door opened and Steve peeked in. He showed Jeff a thumbs up and swiftly disappeared before JoAnna had a chance to turn and see who it was.
