Chapter One

 

"I want everything on my desk by 4:30, with not a minute to spare Leah!" her boss yelled as he walked out of her office slamming the door hard enough to knock the pictures off the wall. Leah saw the anger in his sea blue eyes, she did not want to upset him more than she already did. She could never forget how blue his eyes wore. Leah did not desire white men. She had to admit Daniel Foreman is one of the sexiest guys she ever laid eyes on. His tailored suits always looked like they never possessed a wrinkle.

 

Leah had endured enough troubles since working at R&H advertising firm. She had lost her father to cancer a year ago. Leah's nervous behavior had to be a down fall as working as a secretary.

 She accidentally deleted her whole report because he was standing in her office a few weeks back. Leah wished her nerves did not get the best of her. The clock already hit 3:00 pm and she was not even close to finish the report he wanted. What was she going to do?

 

"Leah!" Ashley said as the door open widely. Leah did not have time to socialize. Leah had her mind set on finishing her report.

 

"Yes, Ash? I'm really busy.  I want to finish this report," she said typing away at her computer. Ashley was an assistant but never seem to do her job. She liked coming into Leah's office and harassing her.

 

"Girl, I heard him in here yelling. He needs to calm before I do something I’ll regret," Ashley said rolling her neck. Ashley had a tendency to get loud.

 

"You never cease to amaze me girl," Leah said laughing.

 

"I know that is why we're best friends," she said. Ashley had a lot of confidence and high self esteem, things that Leah wished she possessed. Leah could not lie she wanted the attention that Ashley received everywhere she went. Every since the two girls were kids, Leah always was in the shadow of Ashley. Ashley always had all eyes on her. Leah just wished one day someone would care about her.

 

"Alright, I’ll see you later tonight for dinner at Justin's around 6 ish?" Leah asked.

 

"You know it girl, maybe you will find a man," Ashley joked.

 

Leah thought about Ashley's joke. Sure it was harmless but it hurt her feelings. Leah finished her report at 4:20 pm and rushed to her boss's office. She knocked softly on the door and did not get a response. Leah didn't want to knock harder. Please be in here. She thought.

 

"Mr. Foreman, it is Leah I'm fin-" before she could finish the door opened widely.

 

"Come in Leah have a seat," he said pulling a chair out. Mr. Foreman's office was extremely spacious and decorated with a woman's touch.

 

"Yes sir," she said sitting down. She handed him the report,and he briefly looked over it. Leah watched as he toyed with his shoulder length black hair. His skin complexion was tanned just right. Leah assumed he often sun bath to get that olive glow he possessed.

 

"This is impressive, you work well under pressure. Good job Ms. Harris."

 

"Thank you Sir," she said smiling. She hoped her lipstick was not on her teeth because she would die.

 

"Well, I’ll see you tomorrow," he said getting up to open the door. Mr. Foreman was a gentleman to any woman that came in his presence. Leah followed him and accidentally bumped into him. When he turned around he grabbed her and they stared at each other. Leah thought she would melt when she looked into those sea blue eyes of his. He pulled her closer and kissed her.

 

What was she doing in the arm of her boss? Was this man the least bit interested in her? So many questions ran through Leah's mind. She knew that it felt right.

 

"Leah..." he said as she pulled away, she was taken back by his kiss causing her to back into the door. Mr. Foreman leaned over her short 5'4 curvaceous frame.

 

"Sir, you should not do things like thattt..." she stuttered. Leah hands were clammy and wet because he made her nervous.

 

"Leah, I've notice I make you nervous..." he said sucking on her bottom lip. Leah, had almost lost it from a kiss. She wanted him more than her next breath.

 

"You do.. but I have to go," she said getting out of his reach.

 

"You'll be back..." he said with lust in his eyes. At that moment, Leah had fell for her boss by one kiss.
