upon
her face because he quickly added. ‘It is really nice to talk
to a like minded person about these things. I would really like to
have coffee with you again and just bounce some ideas off of you
about my books. I think talking to you will actually really help my
writing.’
Scarlett
thought for a moment.
Was
it okay to go out for coffee with a gorgeous guy?
She
gave her head a quick shake. They are just friends.
‘I
would really like that.’

Scarlett
pulled into the next lane and slowly applied pressure to the
accelerator. The city started to disappear by her side windows in a
blur of motion. The radio was off, but she hummed a happy tune into
the silence of the car. She hadn’t stopped smiling since she
left the café. How long had it been since she had last sat
down and actually had such an open and free flowing conversation
about her favourite subjects?
It
felt like a lifetime.
She
glanced down at the phone number written on the piece of paper on the
passenger seat. An eye consuming smile spread across her face. She
felt like a teenager again. She felt giddy about the idea of
exchanging phone numbers with him. In truth she couldn’t wait
for his call. It would be so nice to get out of the house and meet
someone with all the same interests as her. It didn’t hurt that
Brandon was easy on the eye either.
She
giggled.
‘No,’
she said in a cheeky voice. ‘I have to be good.’

Lucas
slipped on his coat and headed out of the office. Emma was sitting
directly outside. The smile was now a permanent resident upon her
face. It was still fairly early in the day, which was why the
corridor was a mass with activity. Smartly dressed men and women were
rushing back and forth, disappearing and reappearing, from different
rooms all along the corridor.
‘Emma,
something has come up and I am heading home,’ he lied.
‘Is
everything okay?’ she replied.
‘Yes,
yes.’ He nodded his head in reply. ‘Just my fiancée
is feeling a little bit under the weather. Cancel the rest of my
appointments for today.’
‘Yes,
Lucas.’ He could see her smile fade slightly.
‘I
will see you tomorrow.’ And with that he stepped by her and
quickly rushed away down the corridor. He thought she probably knew
he was lying, but he had to disappear out early, or face another
tempting car journey with her back home. It was also the fact he
could no longer concentrate on work and sitting in that office
watching her for the next few hours was not going to lead anywhere
good.
Lucas
marched into Craig’s open door.
‘I
tried to phone Scarlett, but she is not at home,’ he announced.
‘Ah…’
Craig grimaced. ‘I really need that file.’
‘Well,
I have to head home now. I could bring it in tomorrow.’
‘I
sort of need it for my meeting with Mr Mills later today. Can I
follow you and pick it up now?’ he asked.
‘I
don’t see why not,’ Lucas shrugged.
‘Great.’
Craig picked up his coat off the back of his chair and followed Lucas
out the office. ‘I will be back within the hour,’ he told
his secretary, as the two of them headed quick pace towards the
elevators. ‘So, tell me.’ Craig grinned like a crazy
person. ‘How are things working out with the new secretary?’
Lucas
groaned.

The
contents of the shopping bag were emptied out onto her double bed.
Excitement and naughtiness danced around the fire of lust within her
soul, as she looked at all the naughty bits and pieces she had picked
up from the sex shop. Two different types of very revealing lingerie
were among them. Scarlett gave it all a satisfied nod of her head.
‘Let’s try this one on.’

he was surprised to find none of the house lights on.
