Daniel was a distraction.With his beautiful hair and his perfect ass, he looked like the stuff heroes on the covers of romance novels were made of. Put him in a billowing white shirt unbuttoned to reveal his chest, with a beautiful damsel draped on one arm, and he would look right at home.But right here in the office, he was a terrible distraction. In fact, she realized, as she glanced at her laptop and the files on her table, that she wasn't making any reasonable progress.Her attraction to him was slightly bizarre. Once she had thought she was completely immune to the charms of calendar hunks with too-perfect hair. Yet here she was, her girl parts getting all tingly every time he strolled by. And obviously that one time with him wasn't even enough. It had to be the lack of available attractive men in her life. That had to be it... She had been alone to long.He disappeared into the break room, and Emma tried to

Daniel led Michelle into his office.It had been a while since he had seen her and they had been a thing before. She had filled a need, but that was a while ago. That was before he met Emma and somehow she had obliterated every thought of another woman right out of his mind. He had never wanted to be with just any woman the way he wanted to be with her. Which surprised and sometimes scared the hell out of him.The past three weeks had been hell for him. He had wanted so badly to drive to her apartment and demand to know why she had pushed him away after they had spent such an amazing night together. What ever it was between them, he knew she felt it too. He just didn't understand why she did every thing in her power to push him away.It was funny. He thought. Funny how the tables had turned. With the other women he had been with, he always the one who ended things. He was the one who was in a hurry to get out of the bed the next mor

Everything was going the way she wanted. Monica thought.Now, on her way home from a perfectly wonderful dinner with Tom, she hoped he felt the same way. She realized she liked him a lot.Decked out in her new green sweater, black leather skirt and matching boots, she had dressed to get laid tonight, and, judging by the way Tom had stared at her throughout dinner, she was well on her way to achieving her goal.But… But what?She tried to dismiss any negative thoughts. There were no buts. Everything was fine.There was a time when she wanted to be single. But she was done with that now. She knew what she wanted now. Back then she had thought she would be a fool to let fascination with a guy spoil her happy life. She figured that she didn't really want or need a man in her life.But now she knew she was done with all that. She wanted to share her life with someone. She wanted to be ha

"I think we should leave now. I had a great time but it's really getting late" Emma saidBen Sanders stood up next to Emma and stretched to his full height. "Alright. Let's get you home. I wish we could stay longer though" he said"I know" Emma replied. "But you know we didn't bring a car, so we have to walk""And who brought up such an amazing suggestion?" he asked"Stop" Emma said laughing. "I wanted to walk. Kinda helps clear my head""Clear your head?" he asked. "Anything bothering you, Emma?""No, not really... I guess it's just work stress" she repliedShe remembered her phone conversation with Daniel the previous night. It did not go well... At least for Daniel. She had agreed to go out with him but after seeing him with Monica, she had changed her mind. There were this nagging feeling that told her Monica wasn't just a business associate of his and she didn'

"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.
