Chapter 1

CHAPTER ONE

Jojo stood in front of the building complex that was McGrath real estate housing and construction', feeling more nervous than she had the first time she was here.

Somehow she had felt more calm during that interview than she did now on her first day of the job she just landed.

Well she did land it with the help of her father's friend who had promised to put a word in for her a few places.

This happened to be it.

And though her resumée wasn't all that enticing, she had been called for the interview here at the beginning of last week and by Wednesday, her employment later was sitting in her mail in a pristine white envelope.

She fixed her clothe one last time  before stepping into the building through it's large revolving door.

As expected, and as she saw the last time she was here, the floor was busy as everyone went about the business.

If anyone noticed her nervous self standing around awkwardly, they didn't let on.

She walked over to the rather unsmiling brunette whose desk tag read, 'Mandy Shores, receptionist'.

She had to wait until Mandy perfected her lipstick and made a double smack of her lips before she finally got her attention.

"Good morning." She squeezed out from her suddenly too tight throat while trying to sound cheerful.

Deep breath, relax.

"I'm Jocelyne Collen, I was here last week for an interview and "I've got a letter in my bag that says I've been offered the position."

She flashed a nervous smile for effect but it wasn't returned.

"Yeah, Marcy mentioned that you'd be coming in today. You are not exactly what I expected though but I guess you'd do."

Jojo raised a brow at that that went unnoticed.

"You just take that elevator over there to the fifth floor. Third office on your right, you should have yourself someone to assist you."

With that, she turned her attention to something else.

Jojo wondered at that and that earlier statement about not being what she'd expected.

What had she expected by the way?

And why would she have expectations on a mere Personal Assistant.

She gave up thinking about it and focused more on while she was here.

The corner elevator, right!

The elevator was full before she got to it but afraid to piss anybody off by being late on her first day, she stepped into it like that.

She stood pressed between a middle aged man with a round belly who wore a very strong cologne that threatened to choke her and an obnoxious lady who kept pressing her into the mans side.

That aggravated her morning but she wasn't letting anything kill her spirit and ruin her fist day at a job that can finally pay the bills and take good care of mama, Riley and herself.

When the elevator finally dinged and opened on the fifth floor, she  got out and while holding her head high, she followed the direction she was given trying to find the right office.

It wasn't a difficult task thanks to the direction from Mandy the receptionist. 

Unlike the ground floor she'd been on earlier, this floor was less noisy and not messy at all.

No obnoxiously loud people, workers that couldn't care less and the rest that just don't give a fuck.

Everyone stayed put in their offices in contrast to what she saw on the first floor.

No wonder the place was squeaky clean.

She hoped she worked somewhere more like this.

She rapped at the door and the voice that asked her to come in was a gentle as it was soft.

That was a very good sign.

And that gave her a little  confidence boost as she simultaneously puffed out a breath and pushed the door open.

The woman that sat behind the desk in a plush looking chair looked about forty odd years old and very pretty to boot.

She was gazing a little at the temples and even though her rim  wire glasses gave her a mean look, the gentle welcoming smile she wore countered that.

She spoke before Jojo could as she came around her table.

"Oh dear, you must be Jocelyne. Your file came in a few days ago, I was expecting you. You are early and that's a good sign." She rambled on.

"Glad to see that you actually do look better in person than you did in your picture."

She feigned a look that made Jojo relax and offer a smile of her own.

"Now that's it." The woman continued,

"You will need this vibe and spirit if you are going to be assisting big bad but ohh..... so sexy wolf up there."

Jojo raised a confused brow.

The woman made a conspiratory point with her small index finger to indicate the floors above.

"He likes to guzzle up his little Red Riding hoods of PAs."

The woman laughed at her scared expression.

Her laughter was soft too just like everything else about her and Jojo would have noticed too if she wasn't already to worried about this boss whom she was already scare of.

How she wished she worked for Marcy.

"Hey, that wasn't to scare you. Maybe he thinks you can handle it seeing as he personally asked

for you. There wouldn't be anyother reason, right?"

She raised a questioning brow at her. 

"No." She replied almost immediately.

The woman smiled.

"I'm Marcy Williams by the way, personnel manager here and though we won't be seeing much of eachother, I just thought you should know that I think you can handle this. Welcome too the family, Jocie. It's okay if I call you that right?"

"Of course." Jojo rushed to say, an overly sweet  smile stretching her lips. 

Marcy led Jojo out of her office back to the elevator.

"You take this up to the last floor up. He's in his office now and will get you started. I'll ring his office now and let him know you are on your way."

Marcy gave her a reassuring smile and a gentle shove that let her know that someone got her back. Even if it was someone she'd just met a few minutes ago.

She stood in the elevator and kept smiling back at Marcy, in a bid to disguise her nervousness, until the door closed and shut Marcy's face out.

She felt her heart racing.

So many 'what ifs' were running through her mind as the fear of the unknown wrapped around her in a thick cloud.

It was at times like this that she missed him the most.

Her Jordan.

Her bestfriend. Her first crush. Her first love, even if he never knew that.

She wished he was standing here beside her with his reassuring mega watt smile, telling her she can do it.

She missed him.

Probably still feels something for him.

But ten years, she knew, was a long time to miss someone. A long time to wait too.

She sighed and shook that line of thought off.

Not remembering him and those special times they'd had hurts less. If only she could teach her heart and her hard head that.

The elevator dinged open at last.

The first thing she noticed was the eerie silence up here.

If she wasn't told, she wouldn't even suspect any living thing was up here not to mention a full grown human.

It housed only one office, she noticed.

And if she thought that other floor was clean, then this one definitely gave the phrase 'squeaky clean' a whole new meaning

Up here looked very different from everywhere else she'd been in this building.

She couldn't tell if the air was just as freezing or it was her nervous self thinking that.

She rubbed her bare thin arms for a little warmth before she braved it and moved to the wide sliding door.

It must be motion sensitive she thought as the door slid open to grant her passage.

Wait, scratch that, she thought.

The man has a fucking secretary.

Two humans were up here and it was as quiet as a grave yard.

The young lady whom she'd  assumed was the secretary was paying so much attention to the big glass door behind her that she barely registered Jojo's presence.

Her desk tag, fancy with golden engravings Jojo supposed were her names read, Lisa Monroe.

"Hi" Jojo pushed out with an inviting smile.

The girl, startled, turned to look at her like she'd just appeared from no where.

When she recovered from that, she didn't bother to reply Jojo as her face relaxed into an 'I don't care either way' kind of expression.

Jojo didn't think the look was welcoming and she thought it sucked already if the only other living being up here already decided she didn't like her.

Not with a boss like the one she'd heard about.

Since the lady, who was probably around her own age, wasn't taking her already offered olive branch, she resorted to sticking to the formalities and telling Lisa her reason for being here.

"Yeah the boss mentioned that. He's asked for you like what, three times this morning." Lisa dropped in a 'duh' tone.

Jojo's heart skipped beats as she thought, oh my God, not on the first day!!

"Your office is in there," she indicated the big smoky glass door behind her, clearly ignoring Jojo's discomfort from her earlier comment.

Lisa continued.

"since you'll be his little PA, your table is set just at the corner of his office. The closer the better so you can start taking the fires from now on. Good luck with your burns. I'll just ring him now to tell him you are here."

She waited as Lisa placed a call, hesitated like she wasn't getting any response but then eased a bit and spoke for a while into the receiver.

"You know, from the way he was bulldozing about your arrival, you really are just not what I expected." Lisa said after the call.

Her ears perked at that.

This was the second time she was getting that this morning.

She didn't know how to take it, so she said nothing again.

Lisa gave her a look she couldn't decipher.

"He didn't say anything and that's usually a 'no don't do that!" but seeing as he's personally asked for you three times,"

She pushed a pad towards Jojo and asked her to scan her palm print.

A few minutes later, her phone dinged and she told Jojo to press the gold button by the door and then scan her palm print again, on the door this time to make it open.

"I bet he'll just love this interruption." Lisa snickered, and Jojo knew then that the other woman was going to make working here very nightmarish for her.

She thought about bailing, running as far as was possible from here, but the mental image of her mother's long finished prescriptions that needed immediate refill and little Riley waiting up for good news and the promise of better meals wouldn't let her legs move away.

So she put on her big girl panties and moved closer to the big door that separates her from her new boss who every have explained to be as big and scary as they come.

She heard Lisa scoff at her hesitation and that spurred get to place her palm on the glass of the door.

She watched as the green light scared her palm and most of her basic informations popped.

Whatever waited for her being this door, good, bad or ugly, harsh, borderline difficult and unbearable, she Was going to take it standing strong for the two people she loved most.

And for the one person she missed most, who had believed in her

She thought as the doors slid open.

It wasn't the magnificent office that had her attention when she finally went in, it was the super angry man behind the polished table in a lush swivel chair.

No wonder Marcy had said, "big bad and oh..... so sexy wolf."

She wasn't wrong.

When he raised his head and those forest green orbs locked on hers, she felt it.

There was just something about those eyes.

Just how do you add fiery sexual attraction to your supposed very hard, new boss to the list of your problems?

CHAPTER TWO
It was Jojo's ringing phone that disrupted the silence in which they worked.She cringed and speedily put it off. You'd think that working in this mandatory silence for six straight months would teach her to always put her ever ringing phone on silent mode.She stealthily raised her eyes to sneak a glance at scary boss man but those hypnotic deep green orbs were already trained on her.Their gazes locked and she felt that zing of desire run down her spine to her most feminine part.Sometimes she wonders if he feels it too.She shifted uncomfortably, moving her eyes away from his, her face burning red.She tried to focus on the monitor of her system as she mutteted a quick, "I'm sorry sir."If she'd thought that time was all it was going to take to cure her of her insane attraction to her incredibly hot boss, Jordan McGrath, then she was in for a surprise.

CHAPTER THREE
Her mom lay frail on the bed, her opened eyes glazed and unfocused, looking worse than she's seen her yet."Mom, I'm here now." She watched for the barely there twitch of her fingers that usually indicated she was heard but it wasn't there.She took the too thin hand in both of hers."What happened, Maria?" She asked the middle aged nurse who took care of Meghan during her office hours."I found like this on the floor, her skin all pale and eyes glazed up like that."Jojo pinched the bridge of her nose, hard.This wasn't as bad as any of the mental images her mind had conjured up after she'd read that text. Everything was going to be okay, she tried convincing herself.  "One thing I'm sure of is that she's getting worse. And you have a lot on your hands. Don't you think it's time you paid what I've been suggesting a thought?""I

CHAPTER FOUR
His kiss was intoxicating, combined with feel of his sexy, powerful body, he had her wanting more, craving more than was possible.  His soft but firm lips glided against hers almost roughly, his tongue thrusting into the recess of her mouth without waiting for permission. He wrapped her in a cloud of dangerous desire, brought her forbidden pleasure.  But the image of his eyes so like the one she longed to stare into again brought a pang of guilt with it.  She broke the kiss, missing the warmth that came with his fiery kiss and his arousing tongue almost immediately. His hand was like a steel band around her, still pressing her to him as he raised his head to question her action with his eyes.

CHAPTER FIVE
Jojo hated the smell of hospitals more than she hated anything else.That nauseating pungent reek of bleaking hope and long empty hours.She sat uncomfortably on one of the old brown benches with peeling paint in the plain waiting room, waiting for the gray haired Doctor Thomas that practiced and consulted here to call for them.The room was dusted with a few other patients waiting to be called too along side their supportive family or friends.At least they attempted conversations. They say words and even if they hold no much solid meaning to their audience it felt good to her ears.She wished Meghan would try that sometimes. It would feel good to hear her mother's voice again.It's been so long now she wondered if it would sound the same or foreign if she gets to hear it again.Maybe if she'd tried talking to someone about what happened that night,

CHAPTER SIX
Fayre didn't notice the other woman in the room upon her entry.All her attention had been honed on the look she'd imagined would be splashed across Jordan's face when he saw her.It's been months since she last saw him and though they'd broken up on very rough terms this last time, she was sure he wouldn't be able to resist her once he saw her again and gets a taste of what he's been missing.After all, she wore this figure hugging, revealing dress whose red color screamed 'fuck me' for a purpose.No man have been able to resist her and her smoking hot body before, he wouldn't be any different, not after she's made special effort to tempt him back.They've had break ups before, ones almost as messy as the current one, but he always took her back anyways. She shouldn't feel any worry about this time around.She stood glaring at the vacant space staring back at her, her disappoin

CHAPTER SEVEN
"What are you doing in here, Fayre?"  The low resonance of his voice carried his anger with it but Fayre didn't take the hint.  This was her Jordan after all and no matter how angry he got at her, she always managed to calm him and make him come around her way.  She smiled at him, subtly pushing her chest out and making her voluptuous breasts more obvious.  She smirked as she noticed his eyes drop to them momentarily.  This leopard can never change his spots even if he tried. "Baby," she drawled,  "I've been waiting forever for you.

CHAPTER EIGHT
It was just seven pm, give or take a few minutes as Jojo stood outside her house.Whatever function they were attending didn't start until eight but Jordan had insisted she be ready by seven so here she was.She was nervous.Well she was until Jordan's sleek, black Mercedes pulled to a stop in front of her miserable excuse of a home.First, all that nervousness had transformed into a soul ripping pool of embarrassment and then they'd morphed into a sizzling bolt of desire that made her wish she had time to go back in and change her under wear as soon as his door had opened and the man stepped out.He was incredibly hot for lack of better words.He was the perfect blend of gorgeous and sexy. Fuck he gave the words meaning on a whole different level.A Much, much, better level.His whole six feet three body was decked out in a snug fitting,

CHAPTER NINE
A fucking princess!That is what Jojo felt like.The perfect, figure hugging, black dress she had on, God bless whoever picked it out, was nothing short of gorgeous.It did wonderful things to her figure, hugging her in all the right places.Her hair had been released from the boring bun she'd done it in and was now in amazing curly waves that flowed down her back.'Miss touchy', whose name she'd learned was Betty, had performed magic on her and she could hardly believe that the woman that had smiled back at her from the wide, floor length mirror was indeed herself.Albeit the surprise it had been and the snarking voice at the back of her head that keeps asking her,'Why is he doing this? What does he want?'she could really kiss him right now.A high crashing thought flitted through her mind.

CHAPTER TEN
The front door creaked open and there were footsteps.Meghan knew they didn't belong to anyone she wanted to see in the moment.Not even Layla, the new lady that pops in every now and again to check on her since sweet ol' Maria left, didn't walk like that.For one, they were heavy and patterned and definitely belonged to a male.A big one at that, probably with dirty blonde hair, receding hairline, reeking breath and eyes as brown as they were malevolent.Fear clogged her throat, stealing her already shallow breath and a slight tremor shook her thin body.Doors were being thrown open, she could hear it, and there were more footsteps now.He'd brought people with him.She knew who that devil in her house was and what he was looking for but he'd have to literally take her to hell to get it.She prayed to every God listening&
