bad, he’d slipped out of bed, careful not to awaken her as he went downstairs to make them sandwiches.
    He’d needed space. However, even while he’d moved around his kitchen he could smell her soft musk on him, it made him yearn to crawl back in the bed beside her. It had been exactly what he’d done. Once he carried the tray of water, hoagies and apples to the room, he’d woken her with loving. Slipping between her thighs he’d entered her slowly. She’d awakened with a low sigh calling out his name. He’d rocked gently in and out of her pussy as he whispered things in her ear, some naughty, others endearments he couldn’t hold back.
    The elevator dinged and broke into his thoughts. Moving inside, he reminded himself, that was yesterday and today he had to face the obstacles in his world.

    “Hi, I’m here to meet with Mr. Dare.”
    Gail looked up from her computer, and Jo’el didn’t miss the shocked twice over the woman gave her.
    “Well, good morning, Ms. Gifford. You look amazing. I’ll let the boss know you’re here.” The woman gave her a wide smile as Gail reached for the receiver.
    Jo’el thanked her and moved over to the waiting area where she’d sat the last time she was here a few days ago. She held herself with a different confidence. Over the weekend she hadn’t only finalized her angle of presentation, put together a short PowerPoint, she’d also gone out shopping.
    Well, technically, her sister Marcy had assigned the help of Avery Dare, a successful fashion blogger, as well as Ella, Avery’s best friend, who was an assistant to a designer. Between the two mid-twenty year olds and Marcy they had transformed her into a totally new person from her smooth layered waves to the toes of her three inch pumps. A little on the low side the fashion experts had told Jo’el, however, she’d let them know higher ones would land her on her ass after three steps. As a thick girl falling in front of people was her worst nightmare.
    Marcy knew Avery because the girl volunteered at Miami’s Children’s Hospital where Marcy worked. Avery was also a younger sister of Ian’s. Jo’el had not told the girl, nor did her sister, tell her that she was going to be meeting with Ian, Madison and Avery’s half-brother, Alex today. It wasn’t a secret, but telling the girl would have led to questions, those questions would have led Jo’el into answers about the source of her embarrassment of her dowdy look. Besides her sister, Jo’el was going to take it to the grave.
    “Jo’el, it is great to see you again.”
    She glanced up to see Ian approaching her with an assuring smile. Rising, she offered him a confident smile of her own. “Mr. Dare.” She stepped forward and shook his hand.
    “Ian please. You look ready to enthrall an audience.”
    “Well, good, because I’m more than ready.” She’d never felt so assured of doing anything, besides jumping into the sack with Donovan, in her life. “The first time I was here it was because my boss wanted me to take the lead on it. Now I want this.” That was the truth. All of her changes and hard work had brought about a determination in her blood.
    “Perfect. This way to the conference room, you have a few moments to get set up before Madison and Alex come in.”
    “Thank you.” She kept pace with him as they moved down hall. In her peripheral she saw more player photos but didn’t pay them much attention as she made small talk with Ian about the weather, it was currently a flash downpour, not strange for the area or season. Some tropical depression was always rolling in from the Caribbean.
    When they arrived at the conference room Ian left her with the I.T. staff member that was there to assist her with getting her presentation loaded and offered her the basics of working the small remote.
    Ten minutes later the door opened with the glowing face of Madison and her husband the now retired Tampa Bay Breakers’ quarterback. She’d been shocked to
