"He kissed you, didn't he?" asked Damon once they were out in the parking lot.

Andin blinked before her face reddened. "Did you see?" She knew there was a little chance that Damon had seen it since she and Sebastian had been in his bedroom but still, there was no other reason that she could think of.

"Nope, but I wish I did." Damon wiggled his eyebrows, teasing her. "It's written all over your face, Darling. You look slightly flushed and when you came back from the restroom, you acted all weird." He paused, scrunching his nose then clapped his hands. "Oh, and oddly enough, you can't wait to get home. That is the weirdest one."

"I'm just tired," said Andin which was not entirely a lie. She was emotionally tired having to remain cool and unaffected by Sebastian's every move.

"Because of the kiss?" teased Damon again in which Andin replied with a nudge on his waist. "Ow! No need to harass me. But seriously, girl, was he good?" Hearing Andin's contented sigh and watching the look on her face, he could easily guess. "Oh wow, he's that good, huh."

"Whatever." Andin shook her head in the hope that it would shake the thoughts and feelings of her boss's lips against hers away. "This is bad though."

"How's so?" Damon unlocked the car and they both slid inside. "What is so bad about experiencing a great kiss?" he continued once they were inside.

"Maybe the fact that he is my boss?" Andin asked incredulously. "You know our plan is to show him that I'm not a boring person like how he portrayed me to be. I didn't plan to seduce him."

"Well, he's seduced nonetheless." Damon shrugged, a mischievous smile forming on his face.

"Damon!"

"What?" He laughed, shaking his head at her annoyance. "Aren't you at least a little bit happy that he was paying more attention to you than his girlfriend?"

Andin was going to say no but she thought better. Damon was her friend, she did not need to lie or conceal anything from him. "Maybe a little."

"See, so all is good, Andin Mia Bella."

"Ugh, but he's my boss though."

"Only until Monday, right?" Damon put the seatbelt on and started the engine. "You're still going to hand in your resignation letter, aren't you?"

"Yes." Andin wasn't sure why she was slightly annoyed being reminded about it. "But I still need him to give me a good recommendation letter so I can find my next job."

"You'll be fine, Andin," said Damon as he drove his car away from Sebastian Summers's huge lot and garden and into the road. "By the way, don't forget to unmute your phone. Your mom might've left you a message."

"Oh, right." She opened her small purse and pulled out her phone only to let out an exasperated sigh.

"What is it now?" He spared her one look before focusing his attention back on the road. "Is it your asshole, stalkerish ex again?"

"Yeah." Andin scrolled through fifty messages without truly reading them. Closing her eyes, she rested her head back against the headrest. Leroy and Andin had broken up about eight months ago after a month of dating. Her mother, tired of seeing Andin being single, had introduced her to Leroy Taylor after having met him through acquaintances. The relationship had not worked out at all especially since Leroy had been too clingy and always asked where and with whom Andin was. When she had finally decided that she could no longer be with him, she had broken up their relationship. However, Leroy was still sending her texts and attempting to call her which of course, she declined. He'd been the source of her headache lately.

"How many?" Damon's eyebrows shot inquiringly.

"Fifty."

"Perhaps you should talk to him and straight out telling him that you don't want him in your life. Because apparently saying that you want to be friends with him resulted in these excessive messages," suggested Damon as the car slowly came to a halt at the junction when the yellow light turned red.

"But I don't want to meet him, Dee. I've texted him saying that I don't want him to message me."

"Yeah, and did he change his behavior? Nope. So I think facing him would be the best move." The light turned green so Damon shifted the gear and the car started to move again. "And if he still doesn't leave you alone, then perhaps getting a restraining order might worth a shot."

Andin opened her eyes and stared at the busy street. "Maybe you are right. Okay. I'll text him and ask him to meet me tomorrow at lunch."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Damon offered. There was a note of concern in his voice and Andin knew even though he had joked about Leroy's behavior on multiple occasions, he was genuinely worried about her.

In all honesty, she was annoyed by Leroy's behavior and his denial about the status of their relationship but she was not scared. Thus far he had only called and messaged her, he had not done anything worrisome. A restraining order might be a bit too much.

"No, it is fine, Dee. I can handle him."

Damon finally parked their car and turned to face her. His eyes stared deeply into hers. "Are you absolutely sure?"

"Yeah." She smiled then threw her arms around him. "Thank you for being the best bestie ever. I will be fine. Don't worry about it."

He ran his hand up and down her spine. "Okay. Just give me a call if I need to drop by and give that guy a blackeye, okay?"

Andin laughed. "I will."

Little did she know that she would indeed need someone's help when the time finally came. Only it would not be Damon who would be lending her a hand.

SEBASTIAN

"Do you know what you need right now?"

He looked into her eyes curiously. "What?"

She put her hand on his bare chest and slid them up to the back of his neck. "This," she said as she pulled his head down and slammed her mouth against his. She bit his bottom lip and proceeded to ravish his mouth. He lifted his hands and tangled his fingers in her hair as her tongue slid into his mouth. She tasted so good and he was addicted to that taste.

Ripping her mouth from his, she stepped back and pulled her red dress over her head. She wore nothing but the sexiest black panties he had ever seen. He reached for her once more, running his hands all over her body as his lips returned the favor. Soon her panties and his clothes disappeared as they were both laying down on top of his dark grey mattress.

Sebastian Summers woke up with a loud gasp. His eyes flew open and immediately stared up at the dark ceiling of his unlit bedroom. His heart pounded rapidly in his chest and his groin ached. He put his palm against his boxer, on top of an impressive hard-on, and sucked his breath through gritted teeth because of the pain mixed with pleasure he was experiencing.

"Fuck!" he growled out of frustration and annoyance. "Goddamn it!"

He curled his fingers around the long, hard length and cursed under his breath. He was having a painful hard-on and it was all because of the exotic dream about his little secretary. In his attempt to calm himself, he drew in a deep breath, held it for a while, then breathed it out.

This was crazy. He had not been having wet dreams such as this one since his teenage days. He was a man now, no longer a kid. He groaned at himself and closed his eyes. Perhaps he needed to get laid and since his secretary was clearly out of the question, maybe he could give London a call tomorrow morning. London was always up for an afternoon quickie. Hopefully, once he had gotten laid, he would finally be able to move on.

He laid back onto the bed and let out a deep sigh. Soon, he drifted back to slumber.

* * * * * * *

Unlike Sebastian, who at least had gotten some sleep, Andin hadn't been able to sleep at all. She laid on her bed restless as her mind reeled on what had happened this evening. It was madness to think that her boss had found her attractive let alone kissed her in his bedroom! She'd never gone there, not even once. Sure, she had been in Sebastian's house but mainly only to go to his office to drop or take some files or to have a discussion with him when he was working from home.

She'd been telling the truth when she had said that she had not wanted to seduce him. She truly had not. All she had wanted was to show him that she was not boring and that she had a boyfriend who was not an accountant nor a tax advisor. All she had wanted was to prove him wrong and see the look on his face when she did that.

The deed had been done. Her boss had been acting strange all night and she had no clue how to deal with the new him. Moreover, she was worried about what would happen in the morning at the office. Should she act as if nothing had happened or should she demanded him to apologize for his behavior? Most importantly, how was she supposed to hand in her resignation letter?

Andin suddenly remembered her discussion with Damon. She quickly grabbed her phone and sent Leroy a text, informing him that she wished to see him during lunchtime tomorrow. As if Leroy had been expecting her text, his reply soon came after, confirming that he could meet her at lunch.

Andin put her phone back on the nightstand then closed her eyes. No less than five minutes after she had closed her eyes, her phone blipped again. She had expected that it was a reply from Leroy and soon found out that she was mistaken. It was a text from the one and only Sebastian Summers, the CEO of Summers Entertainment. His text was brief but contained powerful impact.

- I need to see you first thing in the morning. Urgent.

Tomorrow surely would be a challenging day. Just thinking about it alone made her thoroughly exhausted.
