She pulled Trinity over after a while to show her a building for sale. It looked absolutely perfect for what they wanted but the price tag was pretty extravagant.
"I don't think I can afford that," she said feeling badly about it.
"Let's not worry about the cost right now. I know how that sounds but let's just check it out tomorrow and see what we think," Jasmine pleaded with her.
"Okay, it doesn't hurt to at least look," she agreed. The two women made their plans and Trinity didn't know who she called but the agent was more than happy to show them the place whenever they were ready. She offered to do it right then but Jasmine told her she'd prefer to wait until the next day.
The afternoon flew by too quickly and Trinity was sorry to leave. She was enjoying her time with Jasmine; already a strong friendship was forming. The two women hugged before Drew led her back out to his car. She waved goodbye and sat back sleepily in the car's comfortable seat.
The next few days flew by for Trinity. Drew was there every waking moment and the more she was around him, the harder a time she had with trying to keep her distance. He was there to help her at work. He was constantly bringing her delicious food and he was touching her every chance he got.
With him back in the picture, her body had awakened, more than ever before. He was touching her casually so often, she was close to screaming. She needed so much more from him, than a quick brush of his fingers but she knew she couldn't go there. The more time she was with him, the harder it was to remember the purpose of her boundaries.
The man was so incredibly attractive and what made it worse was she remembered how his hands felt touching her all over. She was frustrated and completely unsatisfied. It was making her incredibly grumpy and he was even being a great sport about her snapping at him. He was far too perfect.
She had went and looked at the building with Jasmine and fell in love with the place. It was so perfect. There was ample space for everything and it wouldn't be too hard to remodel it how they wanted. Jasmine was looking into things and would get back to her soon with some numbers.
Trinity knew Jasmine could afford to foot the entire purchase but she wanted to feel as if she was an equal partner. She'd do whatever she could to make it happen. She was currently renting her building and paying a really high amount, so by taking on a partner and having a mortgage instead of a rent payment, may actually save her money. She'd also be able to make more if she had more merchandise.
She hadn't heard back from Jasmine yet, so she was getting worried she'd possibly changed her mind, deciding it was just too risky. She couldn't believe how bummed that made her feel. She had been the one who was leery to go into such a large investment but after she'd really thought about it, she wanted it more than anything. It would be so nice to have a business partner, someone to share her successes with and someone to have around to talk with. She shook off her mood and got back to work.
"Hello beautiful, how are you feeling today?" Drew asked as he walked in her doors a few minutes after she opened. Her face split in a smile at the sight of him, before she could stop herself.
"Don't you have a business to run?" she asked him, trying to sound stern but failing miserably.
"The nice thing with being the boss is I can take off whenever I want," he responded with a wicked grin. He then came over to her and kissed her on the lips. He was doing that too often as well. She'd given up telling him no. Who was she fooling anyway? She craved his touch.
"I have a doctor appointment today if you'd like to come along?" she asked him shyly.
"I'd love to come," he answered her with real enthusiasm.
"I'll be closing early today so if you want to be back here around two then we can go together," she offered.
"I have nothing going on today, so I'll just hang out here with you," he said instead and sat down on her couch and pulled out his laptop, which was a normal habit for him now.
"If you insist," she replied and got to work on her arrangements. The further along she was getting, the harder it was for her to stand for long periods of time, without her back hurting. After about an hour she was reaching around and rubbing on her lower back, without even thinking about it.
She felt Drew's arms wrap around her and she was being tugged over to the couch. He sat her down and started giving her a back rub. She had to fight not to groan out loud at the pure pleasure he was creating.
"I should be working," she tried to protest but not with much effort behind the words.
"You need to take better care of yourself. It's obvious you're in pain," he countered her and continued with the back rub. She leaned forward, so he could reach lower and stopped protesting. She didn't know how much time passed but when the bell on her door rang, she felt like growling at the person who dared to interrupt.
