Fire& Gasoline:::

Rosa dragged the brush through her dark hair, If she was to get to work on time and not receive a telling off then she needed to hurry. Hastily she applied her makeup, all thoughts of her earlier play-time in the shower were forgotten, she simply didn’t have time to finish. That seemed to be happening more often, and part of her wondered if she really was too busy to finish, or if she was deliberately stopping herself.

Slipping on a simple black pencil skirt, she zipped it up the side, she wore a white blouse with sleeves that cut off at the elbow, she preferred clothes that covered my arms but didn’t cling to them, Rosa had always been self-conscious about her arms, she would never fully understood why, but she knew to feel comfortable they had to remain covered.

Grabbing her coat and purse she ran out the door, barely remembering to lock it behind her.

The commute to the office was the usual nightmare, men on the train stared at her like she was some type of strange creature that had arrived on earth.

Friends on more than one occasion had tried to persuade her that they were staring because she was so attractive, but of course she had always dismissed that notion as pure nonsense. Men did not find women who were plump attractive, every magazine article, book, advertising, and movie, she had ever come into contact with reassured her of this fact.

Even when she had been with Jax, he had always seemed loathe to admit in public that they were together, the only place he ever held her hand in public was when they went to the cinema and sat in the dark.

Grabbing up her morning coffee, Rosa's heart sank, how could she have been so stupid? Wasting so much time with a man who didn’t even really like her! She shook her head and picked up the second coffee she had prepared for Axel.

Carrying the cups carefully she tried to keep her hands steady as she walked into his office, his chair faced the window and she could tell from the tone of his voice that he was not succeeding in pulling the deal back from the brink, yesterday the deal had been running smoothly, What could possibly have happened over night to send everything to hell?

In her mind she ran through all of the files she had sent out, that moment Mr Axel's angry voice cut across her thoughts.

“What do you mean you didn’t receive it? It was sent yesterday! My staff are perfectly competent, thank you!”

Rosa watched as he slammed the phone back on its receiver, He swung around to face her and pushed his hand back through his hair. Sparkling blue eyes filled with anger raked down over her body, he softened a little as he noticed the coffee on the desk.

“What would I do without you, Rosa?” He sighed and pushed himself back in the chair, His normally clean-shaven jaw had a fine sprinkling of dark stubble, in Rosa's mind it made him even more handsome, it gave him a sort of wild look, she could not help but imagine him clearing the desk with one swipe and laying her across the table.

Are you listening to me?” Axel asked, his eyes watched rosa with a look of curiosity, as she blushed and dropped her gaze to the floor.

“I’m sorry, I was just a little distracted.” Rosa managed to respond.

“Good thoughts, I hope.” axel said.

Rosa looked up and her blush deepened, she could see his eyes were filled with a teasing light, it was as though he knew exactly what she was thinking, but of course that was impossible, the more she fought not to think about his strong hands on her body the more those thoughts invaded her mind.

“Iam going to go and type up the rest of that report.” she said, her gaze kept averted as she moved out of the room, she heard Axel chuckled behind her and it made her move out of his office faster.

Reaching her desk she sat down, what was wrong with me? Where had my professionalism gone? I needed to put my head down and just concentrate on my job" Rosa mentally slapped her forehead.

A small icon in the corner of the screen flashed at her, a private chat message.

Puzzlement made her furrow her brow, who was sending her private messages? Clicking it open, the words within made her suck in a deep breath.

“I want you.” The user name was simply the letter C.

'Was it a joke?' Rosa looked around the office studying the faces of her co-workers, everyone seemed to be intent on their own work, no one looked up or even glanced in her direction. What was going on?

A thought struck her, she immediately tried to dismiss it but it kept on nagging in her brain. Mr Axel first name was Cameron... Could he possibly be the secretive C?

    "How did you know to come here?" Rosa asked Axel."You sent me a message from the phone I gave you telling me to meet you here... I came as soon as I had sorted my business..."Rosa winced as he helped her to her feet and her head spun. The feeling of wanting to vomit had passed and for that she was grateful. Officers burst into the apartment and were quickly directed to Allen who still lay unconscious on the floor. Axel and the ambulance crew insisted that she get checked out and reluctantly Rosa agreed.Sitting on the steps of the ambulance she waited for Axel to join her. He stood a few feet from me filling in the officers on what had happened. They had discovered Mike in the alley unconscious. It seemed Allen had taken no chances with anything.Axel moved back over to her side and sat down next to her."I'm sorry the surprise for tonight is ruined," Rosa told him. "I shouldn't have gone, I was so stupid. But I just wanted to go back to my own home and sort out my own business. I t

    "Hello, sweetness. Miss me?" Allen's words sent ice skittering down Rosa's spine. Images flashed into her mind of his hands around her throat as he tried to choke the life out of her. The way his hand had clamped across her mouth to keep her silent as she had lain helpless in the hospital bed. And what he had promised to do.Rosa turned with a strangled scream of panic and tried to escape in the apartment but there was nowhere to run—She was trapped. She thought of Axel's face. The sincerity in his voice as he had told her he loved her.Pain blossomed across the back of her neck. She turned to see Allen lift the butt of the gun once more and screamed as he brought it down on the side of her cheek. Pain exploded in her head as she collapsed and the last thing she heard was his manic laughter as the darkness swallowed her up.Rosa's head ached and she tried not to vomit with the pain as slowly she opened her eyes. The light seemed far too bright and part of her hoped she was back in the

    Rosa's stomach knotted in excitement. Whatever his surprise was, she couldn't wait to find out more. The words tripped from her tongue before she could stop them even though she had promised herself earlier that she wouldn't ask what he meant."Please, give me a hint?" she begged, looking up at him through lowered lashes.Axel"s chuckle was all male as he let his hands wander down the back to the curve of her ass. Gripping her tightly he pulled her up hard against his body. Rosa whimpered as she felt him press against her stomach. Rosa knew what lay beneath his clothes and the pleasures he could bring. She wanted to feel it, even if it meant him taking her now against the bonnet of his car.He nibbled along her earlobe weakening her knees. "Did you know that patience is a virtue? I said 'later' and I'm the Master." He let her go suddenly but steadied her with his hand. Rosa's knees didn't want to support her and she had to place her hand on the car to hold herself upright. The alarm

    Rosa sucked in an angry breath and waited for Axel to answer. "That's it. I don't have to stand for this. Susan and I are never going to happen. The sooner you understand that the better. I'm with Rosa." With that he jerked her forward as he began to stride across the lawn.Rosa looked back over her shoulder as Axel pulled her after him, only to watch his mother's shocked face follow their progress. They made it down onto the gravel and Axel continued walking as far as the garage. His mother had started to follow them. He released her hand as he entered the garage and a few moments later Rosa heard the sound of an engine purring to life. As the large electric door opened wide, his mother reached the place where rosa stood.She never uttered a word to Rosa, choosing to wait until her son pulled out of the garage in a sleek, black Mercedes. The passenger door popped open as it pulled level with Rosa and she slid into the heated leather seats. His mother leaned in over her, treating her

    "It was my fault... I was the one who dared Lorenzo. If we had just stayed away...""Axel, it wasn't your fault. You need to realise that. Your sister sounds a lot like you. She would have done it anyway probably just to prove to you all that she could..."Axel sucked in another shaky breath and pushed her slowly back so he could look into her ace. Whatever he saw there must have satisfied him because he dipped his face to hers and kissed her softly."I'm taking you back to the city with me today. I have something special planned for you, something I want to ask you. But first I need to go into the office for a little while. One or two things I need to tie up there."Rosa's mind raced at his words. What could he possibly have meant? What did 'something special' mean? she longed to beg him to tell her but she bit her tongue. Rosa knew if she begged he would enjoy holding it over her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and laughed softly."Rosa, your face is a picture. It's one of

    The stairs up through the tower lay off to one side. Stepping over the broken stone floor Rosa picked her way over to the steps and tested their strength. They made horrible groaning sounds but they seemed strong enough to stand on. She took her first tentative step up and then another and another. She edged her way to the banister on the stairs and peeked over. The ground seemed like a long way away but in her head she knew that wasn't really true. It was her imagination playing tricks on her. The sound of splintering wood had her looking up in shock as a chunk of timber broke free of one of the beams and hurtled towards her.Axel's arms wrapped around her and dragged her out of the way before the wood crushed down on her. He pulled Rosa to the wall of the tower and pressed her up against it, his body sheltering hers from any other pieces of debris that might come loose and fall.Fear filled rosa as she stared up into his angry eyes."Who let you in here?" Axel's voice was hoarse w
