Los Angeles traffic was a ticket waiting to happen. To my dismay, Warren was not deterred by a red and blue light bar and we got to the office fairly quick. When he entered the garage at work I said, “My car is on the first floor.” “That’s nice,” Warren said. He drove to the third floor, to his assigned parking spot and cut the engine. He turned in his seat to face me. “You still need to be taught how to take directions.” “Excuse me?” I said. “This morning, I believe I gave you explicit instructions. Instructions you didn’t follow.” “This morning?” What was he talking about? I did take a personal phone call, but I’d done all my work. “I did everything you asked.” Warren folded out of his vehicle, came to my side and opened the passenger door. “Come to my office.” “Now? Seriously, what was wrong with my work?” “I’ll show you when we get to my office.” He took hold of my elbow and didn’t let go. From the parking garage, to the elevator to his office door he kept one hand on me. I racked my brain for any reasonable explanation of what he was talking about. I finished my reports. I filed everything. Did I miss an email? He unlocked the door to his office and led me in. After securing the bolt behind him, he took off his jacket and set it on his chair. His sleek modern desk was empty. No laptop, phone, not even a pencil holder adorned the top space. So how could he show me what I’d done wrong? Standing in front of his opulent desk he said, “Come here.” My knees buckled looking at the man who personified dangerous. I lifted my chin in defiance. “I’ll have you know that I’ve done everything you asked.” But instinctively I knew this wasn’t about work. I couldn’t walk. Being alone with him made it hard to breath. I was caught between his vivid soul-piercing gaze and his fierce command. Crushed by intensified need my silk panties felt heavy from moisture. He narrowed his eyes. “Again, you fail to follow orders.” “Huh?” Orders? What orders? Warren pointed at the floor before his desk. “Come. Here. ” This time I broke free from paralysis and shuffled to his side. My heart beat fast as a race horse before the derby. He grabbed the back of my neck and consumed my lips. Just as in the restaurant my mind went blank, but this time I allowed the caress of his ardent tongue. Without separating from the embrace, he maneuvered me backwards until I sat on his desk in panties that squished upon contact. That would leave a wet mark. Our tongues did battle while his hands flew everywhere. He grabbed my hair, smoothed his fingers over my breasts, wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. The whole scene was so erotic I couldn’t help but get swept away. Warren needed—with a vengeance. The fire in his body hadn’t been properly extinguished. His animalistic side took over and the more it did, the more I wanted him. The whiz of a dress zipper interrupted desperate kisses and erratic breathing. The tight confines of my evening gown melted from my shoulders exposing my black lace bra. Cool air hit my skin but the contact of Warren’s hands smoothed over the goose bumps rising on my arms. He parted from me for a moment and lifted the dress over my head. When he returned, I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. Our kisses became an explorative session and a competition. He moaned at my long strokes and grunted at my short stabs. His tongue glided across in easy caresses. I lead, he chased. My tongue wouldn’t be pinned down by his attempts of capture. His fingers wove into my hair and he clamped my head between his hands. He was trying to get me to stay in one place while I teased and nibbled. We broke apart and his kisses trailed along my neck. His hand slipped behind my back and snapped my bra open. Warren lifted off me enough to strip the black lace off my shoulders and leaned back down. His slim body held me pinned
