Chapter Fourty
"Okay..." Daniel said. "You have said a lot of things to me... But I gotta say...I was not expecting you to say that.... What the hell does that even mean?"
"Nothing" Emma replied, angry with herself for saying something. Angry at herself for letting him know just how much seeing him with Michelle had affected her. "It didn't mean anything. Forget I said that"
"Oh I won't... You can't just say something like that and expect me to forget it... I won't forget you said that... So just answer my question... What made you say that?" he asked
"I said forget it". She repeated. "I don't care anyways"
"I hate to point this out, honey, but it sounds like you do".
He smiled when she didn't reply. He stepped closer.
"All that passion brings out your fabulous color. You are fascinating, Emma. All woman. I'm concerned about you. That is a new one for me". He said with mild surprise.

She pushed down the snooze button, restoring quiet, then rolled away from the clock, groaning."I wish you would ring ten hours later, not just ten minutes" she saidA few moments later, she threw back the covers, heaved herself out of bed, slipped into her bedroom slippers, and padded into the kitchen.She glanced the at the wall clock and saw it was five thirty. A full day of work lay before her. And another encounter with Daniel Rohan. She sighed.She hadn't been able to sleep that night.

She couldn't get to them when she got home yesterday as she had planned. After Daniel left, she just took off her clothes and went s

Daniel did not look happy.He was angry. He looked even angrier than he did last night. Well... She was angry too. Emma thought. And it was all his fault. Good thing he shared some of that anger."I'm sorry I made you come late, Emma" Tom said as he walked beside her. "The boss doesn't look so happy today""It's alright" she replied. "I can handle Mr Rohan""You know it's really good to hear you say that... Because I'm not walking up there with you. You are on your own, sweetheart" he said as he moved away from her.Emma rolled her eyes. Now she was going to face him alone. Daniel looked even more intimidating as she got closer. His upper body thrust back at the lean hips, his legs spread apart. His stare darkened as Emma approached."Good morning, Mr Barrett" she said.Emma glanced at Barrett and stalked past Daniel."Hold it, lady" he ordered in a

Both men stared down at her as though they had just remembered her existence.Daniel was the first to recover. "Tom". He said. "If you don't want your pay docked, you will get to work now"Emma touched Tom's tense forearm lightly. "I'm okay. Go on, now" she urged softly."Fine". Tom said.He walked stiffly from the room. After the door slammed behind him, Daniel faced her."Now, where were we?" he drawled.Emma stared at him. She looked like she was going to hit him. He wouldn't blame her if she did. He thought. He was being a jerk on purpose. He wasn't really going to dock her pay. But he was mad about the previous night... And also worried."I apologize, Emma". He said formally. "I was out of line just now. I should have asked you why you were late."He rubbed the back of his neck. "This is no place to discuss... Will you meet me after work today?

Emma couldn't help her smile. "Oh, are you?" she asked"Hell yeah" he replied. He was smiling tooShe didn’t want him to make her smile. but he did."You know..." she began. "Last night was kinda stressful, I think we would have been better off if we had just decided to spend the day in bed and resume work tomorrow."He stared at her, an eyebrow lifted.She knew what she had been trying to say and he knew what she had been trying to say, but somehow her perfectly innocent statement took on a double meaning as soon as it was delivered. She saw the light in his eyes, his eyes scorching hers as she rued every thoughtless word.And suddenly they were staring at each other and thinking only about one thing."I’d better go…". She attempted a smile and tried to walk rather than run for the door, biting on her bottom lip.

“Exactly. Your problem is, you’re afraid of everything, and I know you. You want to be with someone but the fear won't just let you go”“That’s crazy. What am I afraid of?”“You might think you’re Miss Thing with your rebel-without-a-cause posture, but you’re not fooling me.”Emma's lips parted, but no words came out. She wanted to argue with Karen, tell her how wrong she was, but deep down a little nagging voice said her friend might be right.“You are afraid that if you fall in love, you’ll be the one who gets hurt later. You’re afraid to put yourself out there.” Karen continued.“So what’s wrong with not wanting to get hurt?” Emma asked. "I'm just protecting myself".“You’re not living! You have decided to keep yourself locked up in a prison of your own making. You are my best friend and I hate that”.“No, I mean, it’s not true.” Emma said.She c

I don't know the first thing about fixing cars " he admitted." Now you answer my question.""Well... I didn't need anyone to tell me that you don't"."So you are calling me spoilt.... Again" he said feigning annoyance."Fine... Sorry" Emma said."We should push it out of the way though" he said."Good idea". Emma said. With a flash of her extravagantly gorgeous legs, she got in the driver's side. "You push her back and I will steer".Daniel took off his suit coat and swung it over the passenger side window."Move it over there" he said, gesturing.Emma nodded."Okay, I'm ready" she called out the window.Se

She stopped when she realized she wasn't the only who had that idea...There he was. Almost like she had summoned him by just thinking about him. He turned around and saw her."Sorry I didn't know anyone was out here" she said as she turned to go."it's alright. You don't have to leave Emma" he said."Oh alright... Hi" she said."Hello Emma" he replied."I was kinda tired of being in there so I decided to wander around a bit" she said."Yeah me too". He said. "It's really beautiful here don't you think?" he added."Yeah it is"."So how have you been?" Emma asked because the silence and the intense way he was staring at her made her really uncomfortable."I'm okay" came the reply."I'm sure you're okay. She said." I mean you look okay. Not that I have been watching you or stalking you. I'm just sayin

Daniel held her tighter than he should. Kissed her as if it was his last kiss.Reluctantly, he broke the kiss, looked deeply into her dark, lovely eyes. "Dance with me," he whispered. "One last dance before we head home."Emma nodded, and then she put her head on his shoulder while he circled her with his arms. They moved slowly, weaving together, him rubbing her back, wallowing in the softness of her skin. When she sighed, he let himself relax a bit. Damn, but she felt good.He touched the back of Emma's neck, once again drowning in her warm, soft skin. She looked up at him, smiling, then snuggled back to the crook of his shoulder.Was it possible he deserved her? Dammit, he hoped so. But not because he had money or power. Because he liked her. A lot. More than he'd counted on, that's for sure. She'd done something no other woman had. She had made him open up again. What she didn't know was that she wasn't the only
