“Hey babe, sorry I didn’t tell you I’d be here today. After you told me
you were working here, I knew you’d put an end to our date.”
“You were right on that assumption.” I continued walking.
“So how about a drink after work to apologize, my treat?”
“Thanks for the offer but that’s not a good idea.”
“And why not?” he ran his hand over my backside causing a flutter of
excitement and apprehension to run through me.
“Well for starters, you’re a client. That’s a huge conflict of interest
Grant. I really wish you would’ve told me last night.”
“I said I was sorry Emily.” He gave me a sad face.
“Well like I said, this isn’t a good idea. We can’t continue to see each
other. I know it was only one date but if you could please not say anything I’d
appreciate it. I could lose my job over this.” I pleaded with him.
“I understand your point, but I still see the way you look at me. And
the way you were squirming in your seat in there. Tell me you don’t want me.
Tell me that you wouldn’t like to have my hands all over you right now.”
Oh my god. He was turning me on even more with his low seductive voice. I
shouldn’t have been aroused by his forwardness. I should have been appalled and
ran away. Why wasn’t I running away from him? I sped away from Jake and Jake
didn’t even talk like Grant was. He was slow and sensual not crude and crass.
“Grant it’s just not the best idea…”
He suddenly grabbed my arm and yanked me into a vacant office, then shut
and locked the door.
“What are you do…?”
I felt his lips crash onto mine in a bone melting kiss. The tango of our
tongues felt so wrong but also so damn right. I mentally compared the kiss to
Jakes. It wasn’t the same at all, no, Grant took
what he wanted and didn’t apologize for it. He reached around me and grabbed my ass with
is large hands, and squeezed hard. He pulled me into his front and I could feel
the hard press of his hardness against me. I closed my eyes and let the
sensations overwhelm me. I shouldn’t have been there, doing that. I knew
better. But for some ignorant reason, I didn’t care. I wanted to get lost in
the arms of someone. I didn’t want to
be the good girl right then, I wanted to do something reckless and irresponsible,
and not give a damn about the consequences. I had to prove to myself that I
wasn’t that scared little canary in a cage anymore, no, I was a bird of prey,
going after what I wanted. And dammit, I would
have it.

Emily Mills lives a life of opulence and luxury in Los Angeles but can’t shake the feeling that there is something more out there for her.

AUTHOR BIO:
C.D. Taylor began
writing as an item to check off her bucket list. She resides in the
southernmost part of Illinois, right on the mighty Mississippi
river. She enjoys the quiet country life with her husband, son and
the many farm animals that make up the rest of the family. C.D. decided
that farm life was just a little too mundane, so she started writing
erotica to spice things up, so far so good. C.D. entered cosmetology
school right out of High School and practiced the art of hair styling for
12 years. When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found sitting around
a table making people laugh. She has always wanted to be a standup
comic. She loves pulling practical jokes, dresses up in a costume
every Halloween and believes that dancing is the key to a happy life
(even if you aren’t a good dancer).
She believes that life shouldn’t be
taken too seriously, we will never get out alive anyway. More than
anything, C.D. is a kid at heart, she doesn’t believe in bedtimes, eating
everything on her plate, or having ice cream only for dessert.
Her favorite quote is by Dr. Seuss…”Why fit in, when you were born to
stand out.”
