Leonel thought she might be upset and was about to comfort her.
After all, upsetting her over those people wasnât worth it, especially since they had just reconciled.
Leonel, now more temperate and attentive, was eager to make amends for past grievances.
At that moment, Alexis turned and embraced him.
Matching his height perfectly, their embrace was striking.
Resting her head against his neck, Alexis murmured, âLeonel, you are lying.
If you truly didnât care, you wouldnât have felt the need to smoke that day, and you wouldnât have pushed me away.
â
He remained silent.
After a pause, Alexis added, âYou still think I could find someone better.
But Leonel, your leg is not what it once was, and I have my own scars.
Arenât we well-suited for each other now?â
He wanted to deny it, to argue that she was different from the others, that she was still perfect Alexis gently pressed her finger against his Lips.
The truth was apparent.
If she could have truly accepted someone else, how could they still be together after all these years?
Facing him squarely, she gave him no room to retreat.
âAt our age, we are neither young nor flawless.
Leonel, letâs give it a chance.
â
Leonel looked deeply into her eyes.
After a reflective pause, he set the glass down on the desk and tenderly ki*sed her.
The ki*s was gentle, a touch dry, reflecting the momentâs cautious tenderness.
Their foreheads pressed together, noses brushed against each other, lips just barely touching.
They were so close, their breaths mingling.
âAlexis, are you turned on right n ow?â he whispered.
âA Little,â she replied, a playful note in her voice.
âToo bad we donât have lube here.
â
Leonel playfully chided her, his voice low and hoarse, âYouâre quite the tease now.
â
In response, she playfully stepped on his foot with her high heel, her boldness mixed with a hint of challenge-the look he adored.
âI also bought some daring new outfits.
Interested?â
He did want to see them; any man would.
Yet, Leonel felt uneasy about such intimacies in the office, his blush spreading from his neck to h is ears.
Alexis was clearly enjoying this.
Seeing his reaction, she leaned in and whispered with a teasing smile, âIâm off on a business trip tomorrow morning.
Sorry, Mr.
Douglas, I wonât be around for a while.
â
Leonel responded with another playful spank, feigning protest at her tease.
Alexis then turned her attention back to her work, settling at her desk.
Glancing at the documents, she casually mentioned, âDid Ross drive you here? Tell him to head back.
You can take my car later.
