And here we come full circle and can move on forward...

I was still a little dumbfounded that I'd agreed to let her 'hire' me as her pool boy and gardener.
But, at least it was a step in the direction of spending more time together, without attracting attention.
I'd left with an extra spring in my step, thanks to our parting kiss, and promised to see her at 10:00 a.m. on Monday.
And now I was going to be late for my first day on the job.
But it wasn't my fault, really.
The alarm hadn't gone off due to the power outage from the storm that passed through last night.
Luckily, Sam had woken me when he jumped on the bed.
Whining and licking as he pawed at me.
He needed to go for his morning run.
I could never get mad at my beautiful retriever, the only reason I had for living anymore, well, except for her.
After all, he'd led me to her.
Although, I guess I should claim partial responsibility for my lateness.
I was the one who didn't have the strength to keep my hand off my dick as I showered after our run.
I didn't need this job, but I needed her.
It really was too bad she was married.
