  Emma's warning fury returned to full flame. "This so called "matter" better be about something reasonable. Because if you mess with my job, I will yell sex discrimination so loud that these concrete building blocks will crumble" her fingernails raked the wooden arms of the chair. "I'm the right person for this job. Mr Rohan""You sure as hell are right for something" he snapped. " I got a taste of it the other night. You were like hot silk in my arms when we danced, woman. Why the hell did you walk away from me?"Emma felt the blood drain from her cheeks. "Finally you said what you have been wanting to say since. Is this interview over, Mr Rohan?""The interview is over, but you and I are not." he stood up menacingly, then leaned forward to brace his fists on the desk. "Take a note, lady.

  Large hands looped around her waist and urged her to fit closely to the cradle of his lean hips. Long fingers spanned the swell of her hips and dipped low to the base of her spine.Automatically, her hands found his forearms. Hair roughened flesh warmed her fingertips. She tilted her head back to look up at his tanned face. His eyes gleamed down at her as his fingers etched a heated trail up her backbone. One big hand slid beneath her long, tumbled curls to encircle her slender neck. A callused thumb rested momentarily on the throbbing pulse in her throat."Hello beautiful" he said softly. "Here we are.. Again"She smiled. "Here we are" acutely aware of the heat of his body. Somewhere her brain questioned the audacity of her lips and her vanishing inhibitions as her palms sought and found the width of his shoulders.He guided her into an intricate dance routine. When she followed him easily, he said, "I was right. You move

Besides after getting that account for Reddings plc. They should have let her get some days off.She picked up her phone and checked the caller ID. It was her mom."Hi mom. Good morning" she said"Hi honey" her mom said. "You sound grumpy. Did I wake you?."Yes you did mom. But it's okay. How are you? ""I'm fine honey. How's work?. Did you get that account you told me about?." Oh yes mom. I did " Emma replied remembering the annoyingly irresistible guy the account came with. "I knew you would get it.

  The Kay Corp building was tall, skin and coolly modern. It had an expensive view of the other sleek glass office buildings and the other technoconglomerate companies that surrounded a small green on the north side of a sprawling business park.There was an all-natural whole food deli on the first floor plaza, where they served sandwiches on seven grain pita bread layered with sprouts and avocado, along with earn crocks of specialty soups garnished with floating squares of tofu instead of chunks of meat.Trendy coffee carts and frozen yogurt stands flanked a wide bank of elevators with glass doors and electronic eyes that spotted you on the lobby level so you never even had to press the call buttons.On the fourth floor was a mirrored gym with the latest weight equipment and muscular blond trainers who had all-over suntans compliments of the corner tanning booth. You could get a massage or a manicure, even a sha
