That made me uneasy. Someone was after Luke's Company. They somehow got to his second in command, and where able to give him loads of money for it. God only knows how much and it also had the man so afraid to tell the Police anything. Whoever was behind it probably threatened his life. It was the only logical explanation.

Reality sunk in and I realized we were holding hands and walking up the Kitchen stairs. I quickly removed my hand from his. He turned around, looked down at my missing hand and up at me confused.
"What's wrong?" He said alarmed. We both continue up.
For the first time in my life I was trying to form an answer before my mouth could just blurt it out.
We make it to the landing.
"What are we doing, Luke?"
"We're going to pick out a pair of Jeans and T-shirt, for me. Like you wanted." He points to the door at the end of the hall smiling.
"No, I mean this-" I point to him and then myself. "The weekend sleep over, the wine, the exchanges of life stories. Are you trying to get me in bed or something?" I was starting to get annoyed. I really liked Luke a lot. More than a lot, but this man was so reserved. To make a complete 180. It wasn't normal. Right? He must want something from me.

He looked down at his feet and I saw the anger in his face when he looked back up.
"Is that how low you think of me?" He put his hands in his pocket and walked close to me. I could tell I offended him.
"No. I just don't...your my Boss and now I'm heading to your room. Just explain this to me."
He got even closer. I could smell the Wine in his breath, with a hint of mint.
"If I wanted to try and fuck you, I would've done that back at your place. It's like you purposely try to mess the mood up. Why the fuck must you do that? You're always insinuating shit!"
At this point he started walking forward which pushed me against the hallway wall. He started getting louder, "It's like you want to piss me the fuck off and keep me at arms length!"

His face softened up. With the look on my face, he probably thought he scared me. Truth was, he was telling the truth. I purposely pushed everyone away who attempted to get close to me. I didn't want any one to get the chance to hurt me like Robbie did. I wouldn't go down that road anymore. I put my head down and tried so hard not to let the tears fall from my eyes. He grabbed my chin and made me look up at him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"No," I cut him off. "You didn't scare me. I'm hurting myself I guess." I blinked and the water works came out. I looked towards the ceiling. "I can't let anyone hurt me the way my ex did. Not even through friendship. The hurt I felt, I wouldn't wish on anyone." I began to sob.
"Shh, it's okay." He went to grab and hug me but I stopped him.
"No, it's not. Luke I'm afraid that I'll," I was choking back the sobs and just wanted to leave this place. I didn't want to be near him.
"That you will what?"
I went to walk away but he grabbed my arm and put me back against the wall.
"That you will what Jas?" He repeated.
"That I'll fall for you. Harder than Robbie and that you'll leave me. Or, that friendship won't be enough and I'll have to leave the Tower, and you." He wiped away my tears.

"Please, do so.." he whispered. He stepped back and began massaging the back to his neck.
"What?" He wanted me to leave? I wiped the remaining tears away and looked directly into his eyes.
"Please fall in love with me Jas."

I don't know where I got the courage but I did. I got on my toes and kissed him. We both stood there shocked for a second. He replied by kissing me back, this time with tongue and force. I placed my hands on his chest and felt how big his chest was. I slowly put my hands around his neck, trying not to break the connection between our lips. He lifted me up, cupping my ass, and began walking. I guess he was leading me to his bedroom. I didn't care. I just didn't want this passion to end.

He stopped kissing me momentarily and looked in my eyes. He smiled and started kissing me down my neck. It ignited something fierce between my legs. If he kept kissing my neck that way, then I would definitely be sleeping with him tonight.
God no!
I couldn't let him have me this soon. Not like that. Was I really contemplating this while I had him between my legs? I should just enjoy the moment. I close my eyes tilt my back again. Feeling every kids and lick, I moan.

He walked into a room and Luke put me down slowly not separating his lips from my neck. I opened my eyes. I was kind of disappointed. We were in his closet. He then kissed my forehead, then my hand, and bent down to take his shoes off. He stands back up.
"So," he says while unbuttoning his shirt, "pick out Jeans and a T-shirt."

Disappointment swept over me. That was all? I wanted more kissing and touching, and I really didn't want to turn around. This would be the first time I got to see his chest and didn't want to miss it. I hesitated and gruffed, but turned around. He had to have about 100 pairs of jeans. They were folded perfectly on white shelving. The ceiling was vaulted so there was a ladder. If I had to guess, I'd say there were about 15 shelves. Stacked on one another. Nothing but jeans, shorts. On the other side were Business suits, hung up of course.
I turn to him. "Have you even wore-" I almost passed out. He was leaning against the wall, behind me, in a white wife beater and his pants were unbuttoned. My mouth went dry when I began to imagine-
"Yeah, probably a dozen or so."
I rolled my eyes. I didn't believe him. He was always in a suit. I wouldn't be surprised if he wore them to sleep.
"And where are your t-shirts?" I looked around the massive closet and didn't see any shirts.
"Check in the closet behind you."
"Oh great. A closet in a closet."
He laughed.
I walked over to the door and it slid open itself. Turning towards him, he saw how impressed I was. The light cut on once I stepped in. To the left where all his dress shirts, and to the right was every kind of shirt known to man. On the second bottom shelf I found a plain white tee. I pulled it out and walked out the Shirt closet. He already had changed into a pair of Jeans. Shit!

We were back in the Kitchen and decided we were hungry. I wanted to order in but he wanted to go out.
"You dressed me, we might as well show me off. Let's go out."
I laughed at him. "I'm wearing the same thing. A white shirt and blue jeans doesn't constitute as dressing up."
I gave in.  No way would I miss him walking around in those snug jeans. He had a nice, tight ass too. I slapped his ass as I walked by him.
"Hey!" He jumped.
"What? Nice ass! I have to go get my bag. My sweater is in it."
"Alright." He smiled and pointed. "Main Foyer."

I still couldn't believe how massive this place was. Did I just slap my Bosses ass AND make out with him? I think I just walked by two different living rooms. For sure, I would wake up early tomorrow and give myself the Grand Tour. Might take me an hour. But I'm going to check every closet in this house myself. I find my duffle bag and pull out my sweater and makeup bag. There was a massive mirror behind me and I used it to powder my forehead, nose, and chin. I grabbed my purse and went looking for a pretty, pinky nude color I had in it.

"Found you! Hiding all the way in bottom of the bag." I said out loud. When I look back into the mirror I jumped and turned around. There was a woman standing behind me near the Front Door. She was scanning me from head to toe.

"I'm sorry," I said out of breath laughing. "You scared me."
She couldn't have been the maid. With a palace like this, there should be at least 20 of them. She was to beautiful and was dressed like she was going to an event. Little black dress with jewels that I'm sure costed more than the $50,000 inheritance Uncle Rob left me. She half smirked half scowled at me. "I'm Jasmen and you-"
"Where's Luke?" She said pulling out her compact and checking her makeup.
"Hey, did you get lost finding the entrance!" Lucas laughed as he walked in on the Blonde and myself.
He looked up and his smile faded.
"Susan?" He looked at me surprised and then at her. "What are you doing here?"
"Aren't you going to introduce me to the help? And oh, I think you need to tell her about fixing herself up near this door. Could you even imagine?" She laughed.
"I'm not the-"
"Susan." Luke walked over to her. "You need to leave. Now."
Wait, Susan? The same Susan that called him a million times a day?
"Why? Because I went on vacation for a month? Because I didn't tell you I was leaving? Baby, I needed some me time. And I'm refreshed!" She walked towards Luke and wrapped her red claws around his neck. She then looked at me.
"She's still standing there? Tell her to get me a glass-"
"She isn't a servant." While he spoke he removed her arms from his neck. "I don't fault you from taking a vacation from me. Hell, I need a vacation from me. You should do what ultimately makes you happy. Now if you'll excuse me. I have plans. And I'm going to need you to stop harassing me. And don't show up at my Office or Home anymore. And please stop calling me."
"Ugh!" She choked out.
He turned and walked to me.
"You ready?" He whispered into my hair before kissing it. I shook my head yes.
He picked me up bridal style. I was shocked and wrapped my arms around his neck giggling. He turned to her.
"I'm actually on my vacation now. From you. Permanently." He gestured to me and flung me to his face where he raspberried my stomach. I laughed. Oh my God. I know it's killing her to see him with another Woman, but I don't mind. Being the 'help' and all. He brought me down to bridal style again and we walked past her. He somehow managed to open the door and he walked towards the car. Behind his Porsche was a White Cadillac SUV, which I'm assuming was hers. He put me down and was about to open the door for me.

"So you're leaving me for that?!" We both spun around. She was walking down the steps and was pointing at me.
"Susan don't make a scene please. You're embarrassing yourself!" He spoke a little loudly as he grabbed my arm, so that I could get in.
She grabbed him by the arm and spun him before he could shut my door. She was becoming as annoying as her never ending Office calls.
"You said we would be together forever!"
What?
"Yes at first there was something. Until I saw how money hungry you were. My love for you turned into a transaction. You knew what our arrangement was." He growled. "I got plenty of dick sucks while you spent my money. There's was no love or anything from your end. Stop being so fucking dramatic! You agreed to this."
At this point I was sitting straight in my seat, looking forward. Had my eyes opened like a Deer looking at headlights. This was so awkward. She felt her eyes on me, embarrassed. I didn't bother looking up at her. He shut my door and told her to leave or he would call security. He walked back up the stairs and closed the Door she left ajar.

He slammed his door shut, and pull out his iPhone.
"Maria, please lock everything up tight. Call Charles in the morning. I want all door locks changed and put the alarm on. Let Front Gate know Miss Heigl is no longer welcome on property. I'll be home later. And please make up the Guest Bedroom. Good nite."
