than aggravating him by trying to
handle him, Allie decided to just wait him out.  He would say what he needed to
say when he was ready.
     
After stowing Allie's bag in the back seat, Sean helped her into his car and
made sure that her gown was fully inside before shutting the door gently. 
Moving over to the driver's side, he got in, started the ignition, and backed
skillfully out of his parking space.
     
"You can talk to me, Allie," he said with wry amusement, as he pulled
out onto the dark road.
     
"I have no idea what to say to you," she admitted.  "Apart from
anything related to work, and I know that's off limits tonight."
     
"It is," Sean said in dry amusement.  "But you've never had
trouble talking to me about other things before.  Even politics and religion,
if I remember correctly."
     
Allie smiled slightly.  "You're right.  But I'm having trouble tonight.  I
can't help thinking that you're furious at me, and it's hard to just talk
nonsense with that hanging over me."
     
"I am furious at you, Allie," Sean said quietly.  "And there's
not much you can say right now that would help."
     
"Then I think I'll just stay silent, if it's all right with you."
     
Sean looked over at Allie, who was sitting tensely next to him.  "For
now," he allotted.
     
     
Pulling up in front of Allie's apartment, Sean quickly got out of the driver's
seat and moved around to help Allie from the car.  He pulled her tote bag out
of the back seat, and offered her his arm.
     
Allie tried one time to leave him at the curb.  "I can get that.  Thanks
for the ride."
     
Sean just laughed without humor.  "Nice try, Allie.  Come on, I'll walk
you to the door.  Where are your keys?"
     
Allie sighed, then reached into her bag and pulled out a set of house keys. 
Sean reached over and took them from her, guiding Allie up the walk as he did
so.  After unlocking the door, he handed the keys back to her.
     
"Aren't you inviting me in?" he asked dryly.
     
"Do you really think that's a good idea?" she asked quietly in
return.
     
"I do, and here's why.  I intend to kiss you tonight, Allie.  And it's not
just going to be a peck on the cheek.  So unless you want to give your
neighbors a show..."
     
"Mr. Greyson," Allie tried one more time to protest, but her attempt
to keep things professional between them seemed to shatter Sean's patience. 
Without another word, he reached behind her, opened the door, slipped his arm
around her waist, and pushed her firmly inside.  Closing the door behind them,
he dropped Allie's bag and clamped his hands around her shoulders, pulling her
tightly against him, and then moving forward until she was sandwiched between
him and the wall.  His hands moved up then, framing her face and then pushing
into her hair to hold her firmly in place.
     
"My name is Sean," he growled at her.  "Say it, Allie.  And
don't even think of calling me Mr. Greyson, or I won't be responsible for what
I do to you."
     
"But..." Allie started to object, but Sean just angled her face
closer to his.
     
"Say it, Allie," he demanded, his voice once again gravelly with
need.
     
"Sean," she breathed at last, her gaze falling to his mouth, which
was clamped tight as he fought his own need for her.
     
At the sound of his name on her lips, Sean's control snapped.  His mouth
descended unerringly to hers, and he stole her breath as he fitted his lips to
hers.  It was a full-on assault, Allie knew.  It was a hard kiss, full of
punishment, anger, and need.  But it was the most amazing kiss Allie had ever
had in her life.  As Sean moved his mouth over hers, as he forced her to open for
him so his tongue could seek hers, Allie lost all thought and gave herself over
to feeling.
     
As soon as Sean felt her respond to him, his plundering stopped, and was
replaced by a seductive, sensual kiss.  His mouth moved over her face, nipped
at her ear, kissed her cheekbones and her chin, before again covering her own
mouth with a kiss
