CHAPTER 1
I was running late. Great! Just what I needed on a day like this. Rain pouring down, streets crammed and traffic at a virtual stand still. How was I going to get to the office on time? And with the new boss coming today, I was sure to get fired. It wasn't like I had set out to be deliberately late this past month but my alarm clock which I'd been meaning to get fixed was constantly on the Fritz. One day it would work perfectly, the next, well today was a prime example and I was on my last warning.
I'd quickly washed, got dressed and downed a scorching cup of black coffee while slipping my heels on before grabbing the keys to the apartment and bolting out the door. I ran along the corridor and pressed the button inwards, thumbing it repeatedly. Come on! Why is it taking forever? Strange how time seems to warp when you are in a hurry. The elevator for example was taking what seemed like a lifetime to reach my floor, yet I was painfully aware of just how quickly the seconds where ticking away as my time was running out to get to the office.
Finally, the doors pinged open and the woman's voice rang out, "Floor 23."
I rushed in and stabbed the ground button praying it would go straight down and not stop on several floors. It plummeted down and I was beginning to feel optimistic when suddenly it stopped and a tall, dark and mysterious man got in. He didn't bother to turn around, instead he just eyed me and came forwards. I pressed myself up against the rail that ran around the middle of the steel cage trying to get away without seeming intimidated by him but he was imposing. His taut athletic body stood inches away from me, his eyes boring into mine as his hands pinned me at either side. Well technically they didn't touch me, but I couldn't exactly move either. As he moved his lips down towards mine, I froze. He smelled, oh sweet mercy, he smelled delicious. His hair flopped around his face framing his, pulling my eyes to those soft sneering lips and I wanted him. Good grief, the thought of him touching me was sending me into a frenzy that I hoped he couldn't sense. I mean, he was a stranger! I shouldn't feel so drawn to him when he felt so threatening. Yet, I couldn't help myself. PING! The doors opened onto the ground level and I ducked under his arm bolting out as fast I could.
I chanced a look back over my shoulder wondering how far he was behind me when my eyes caught his. He was leaning smugly against the wall of the elevator his finger on the open button watching me go. I could swear I saw his shoulders lift minutely as if he were laughing but it didn't transfer on to his face. I turned my head and just in the nick of time, narrowly missed walking into the glass door.
Dodging from umbrella to umbrella I made my way along the street and up to my office, shook my coat off and grabbed a cup of coffee from the vending machine to drink at my desk. "You made it!" a shrill voice came from behind me.
I turned to see my good friend Bellatrix beaming at me."Yeah, just," I said. "But you are not going to believe what happened this morning! Some arrogant jerk tried it on in my elevator."
"What? Lily, I've told you before you need to get out of that building. Those elevators..." She squirmed.
"Yeah, I know but money is tight and there isn't anything affordable anywhere else in this city. Well, not in the good areas at least."
"Good point, well you should at least report the git. You can't let the jerk get away with it." She held the door open and gestured for me to go through first.
"Thanks," I said walking through, careful not to burn my fingers as the coffee threatened to spill over the top. "I would but what would I say? Some random guy in the building tried it on, can you please have a word with him? Yeah, not exactly much for them to go on."
Bellatrix shrugged. "Well, next time knee him in the groin. He'll think twice before trying anything again." With that she smiled, went to her desk and plonked down behind her computer. I supposed that would be the right thing to do in the circumstance but I couldn't get the smell of him and the look of blackest onyx as he stared longingly at me out of my mind. I sighed and walked off heading to my office when the door behind me opened and a familiar scent wafted through the room.
