Aiden's pov :

"This is the final version." Rebecca handed me our version of the contract, which was based on Bishop's amendments. Of course, it wasn't what they wanted at all, it just seemed that way. So that I have a reason to see her at least a few more times. We had taken into account several of their suggestions and that's it. Why can't I stop thinking about getting in her panties? After thinking about it and talking to Dylan, I still wanted her in my bed. I needed to know if there was a relationship, if she had a boyfriend, I didn't care, but if she was really married, as Dylan suggested, that was another matter.

Kathleen's pov :

I had no engagements in the office today. Why? Because I lied that I had a headache and stayed home until noon. Why? Because I had decided to talk to Nick, or rather, to tame my body. At least once!And Nick was usually home by noon. So, guess what I'm doing right now. Yes, I'm standing in front of his door, in a satin dressing gown and lace lingerie, no bra, that's what it's for. It's good that it's only downstairs and it's hard for anyone to see me like that. I knocked and waited, to be honest, I'm not ashamed, I have needs, I'm not dead, for God's sake.

Author's pov :

Nick opened it and stared. Kathleen Bishop, seriously? And so dressed? The young man's saliva flowed. Kathleen stepped forward, pushing him back with her hand on his chest, and closed the door to his apartment behind her. "I have three rules: only I will look for you, you don't end up inside and no one, under any circumstances, should ever know about it?" she looked at him with raised eyebrows, and he nodded.
"Good boy!" Kathleen smiled and threw herself on his neck, her lips working against his, his hands sliding and untying the satin ties of her dressing gown, removing it. She jumped up and he grabbed her ass, carrying her to the nearest comfortable piece of furniture, the kitchen counter. Kathleen lay on her back and spread her legs wide after Nick wasted no time in taking off his underwear. He pushed her underwear aside and slid straight inside. Soft, sticky, warm and moist and fuck it, very tight! Nick knew that having sex with her would be good, he had hinted to her, but he didn't really expect her to agree.
"Faster!" Kathleen moaned and grabbed on either side of the counter as she rose against his thrusts. Her body accepted his, but her mind imagined a very different man and him between her legs. Kathleen felt like he wanted to tear her apart, his cock cut her vagina, and the wet slaps sounded clear along with her panting moans and his growl.
"More!" she pulled toward the end of the counter, and he lifted her legs onto his shoulders, pulling her by the waist. She tightened her belly and the walls of her vagina and sucked hard as the sensation of hardening and trembling caressed her entrance. Kathleen herself was ready to finish, and she couldn't wait to do it. Nick fucked her almost mercilessly, Kathleen screamed and ended in trembling, Nick pushed a few more times, pulled away, and finished with his hand, cumming on her belly.

Kathleen's pov :

Damn, why didn't I do it earlier? Because I'm an idiot, that's why. Nick had something to offer, and I would take advantage of it.
"To what do I owe the honor?" "Does it really matter?" he smiled and shook his head. Really good boy, I didn't need the questions, I needed his body.
I looked at him, he didn't look bad, not like Aiden, but he was getting up. "Who's Aiden?" he asked, and I almost choked. "Please?" "While we were fucking, you called me Aiden," ah, of course. "Does it matter?" I asked and stood up, looking for my robe. "Not particularly, I just found it interesting." What can I say, I fucked him so I wouldn't fuck the one I actually wanted. "It is not your business." It really wasn't. "So I'm just going to be a substitute?" Aww, sweetie, he asked me if there would be more. "Does it bother you?" "Not me" I liked that answer, so I just left.
It was relaxing. My body was still burning, but I was definitely better. Yes, sex is not like in books or movies, no one pays as much attention if it was just fucking. See, when you want something more, when the person opposite you is on your heart, then it's different. Then you want to play, to touch it, to taste it, to feel it with every pore and fold of your body. Nick was like a vibrator, fucking until the next time. But to call him by Aiden's name was interesting to me.

Aiden's pov :

"Miss Bishop is absent, Mr. Jackson. She won't be here until two hours. Do I have to give her anything?" Tell her I want to fuck her. It's good that I just thought about it, otherwise they would have chased me with a restraining order.
"Thank you, Mr. Williams, maybe I should make an appointment?" I suggested, not that I wanted to, but I had no choice, obviously my spontaneous appearance in her office didn't work. "You know, Miss Bishop really cares about this contract, why don't you wait until I call her. I'm sure she'll be here soon when she finds out you're expecting her?" her assistant was a smart man, I nodded and he put me in her office until he came out to call her.
I took the opportunity to inspect her office. Too strictly arranged for my taste, but I guess the woman factor had its say. There were several pictures of Kathleen with a little boy. Nephew? I didn't see other family photos, several with her parents and this child. Honestly, when I think about it, I didn't notice him wearing a wedding ring. Aiden, congratulations darling, you're dealing with a single mother. How clever I am, ah, Sherlock Holmes of our time!
In fact, the kid was very sweet, with these two tingles and slightly tousled hair. Although his resemblance to Kathleen was barely noticeable. Are they still together with the father? In a sense, nowadays many couples live without marriage, if this is the case with Kathleen, then my chances of having her fall sharply to almost zero.

Kathleen's pov :

"What ?????" If I hadn't been struck by thunder before, now he was hitting me with full force and I was ready to faint. Aiden, he's waiting for me in my office. My office, full of pictures of me and Brian! My son, who is almost an identical copy of his father! Believe it or not, I launched like a surface-to-air missile. No one has ever crossed New York faster than me.
And guess what I was afraid of! The moment I saw him, standing next to my desk, staring at my family photos ... I've never been so cold in my life! Apparently this is what a person feels when he experiences real unadulterated horror, absolute cold.
"Mr. Jackson?" Damn it, my mind worked so fast that if I was spotted, it was probably moving at the speed of light!"Oh, Kathleen, I'm sorry if I interrupted something important" Don't smile at me, you idiot, but disappear! "No, no, how can I help you?" I pushed him and, oh my God, the Virgin Mary, the Archangel Michael, Jesus Christ, and I don't care who else, I hope you didn't allow him to pay attention to the resemblance!
"By the way, cool kid, your son?" I nodded, so I didn't have to lie. "I see, but Dad, I didn't see him in the pictures?" Damn, don't you have another job? "We ... Well ... We're not together, we've never been." That's why I said that at all? God, I'm betraying myself!
Now all I have to do is inform him that he is the father and cut my throat! Why is he looking at me like that? What the hell?
"To what do I owe your visit, Mr. Jackson?" That's right, I have to distract him, but damn it, that look, he didn't come for work! Why is my stomach shrinking? Because I hope I am a sheep and that is, there is no salvation.

Aiden's pov :

Why does Kathleen look so worried? She looks at me the same way she looked at me for the first few minutes in the restaurant. This is not admiration, but fear. Am I scaring her? With what? This had never happened to me before. Never, ever has a woman been so intimidated by me. Okay, what do I do now? Basically, I came to invite her to dinner, but with that reaction, should I offer her a sedative pill?
"Kathleen, I have a suggestion?" exhale and breathe that you will faint. "I want to invite you to dinner, we didn't start well and I want to smooth things over by showing you I'm not that scary" I asked and waited. Three colors, so much changed her face, green, gray and death white.
"Mr. Jackson ..." "Aiden!" "Aiden ..." breathe, darling "I don't want to be rude ..." "Then don't turn down my offer!" I interrupted her before she cut me off again. "I ..." "Come on, Kathleen, I'm hardly such a bad company that you can't stand a simple dinner with me. Besides, I want to talk about the contract?" well, that was a lie, i want to know why i scare her so much. "Mr. Jackson ..." "Aiden!" she took a breath, well, if I gave her time to think about it, it would be a waste of me. "I'll be waiting for you tonight in Saint Clemens, at seven!" It is! I grinned and literally ran out of her office. You have nowhere to run, sweetie. Of course, you may not show up, but someday you'll have to give up.
