I wait in Daniel's office pacing back and forth, is this punishment for yesterday? I can't seem to wrap my head around this little shit show the boss is starring me in. I never meet with people from my jobs after it is done. I glance at the brown envelope, that fucking bastard probably knows who I am now, the boss did me dirty. I wipe the sweat dripping from my forehead. I grab the envelope and pull out the picture of the green-eyed goblin. Carefully I rip it into pieces.

What am I going to do?

The door opens, Daniel and Jason walk in and I'm relieved. Jason looks at me and immediately turns away, he places his hands in his pocket and rests his back on the wall. Daniel moves into his seat, and we all stay quiet until I decide to break the silence,

"Are you guys going to ask me what is wrong ?"

Jason rolls his eyes, he is not going to help, and I turn to my only hope ....Daniel. I place both hands on his table, "Daniel C'mon" I say trying to convince him. He chuckles pulling off his coat, "What did he ask you to do?" He asks. I take a deep breath, trying to find the right words to use.

"Your father wants me to go on a date with the psychopath that shot at me last night!"

His eyes widen, and he springs up from his chair. He comes around the desk and rests his hands on my shoulders, he folds his lips and nods " You will be fine, I'll ask my men to follow you".

I look back at Jason who had launched himself into the couch. I bring my attention back to Daniel, " Thank you " I say giving him a wide smile. I leave him and I make sure to give Jason the most terrible look known to mankind on my way out.

" I'll call Dante to bring something for you to wear" Daniel yells

I blow him a kiss, closing the door behind me.

••••••••

It's close to the time I normally get off work and I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in "

Sasha walks in, "Mister Dante is here," she tells me while adjusting her handbag. I push back the chair and I get out of my seat. She follows behind me, I stop and I look back at her " Aren't you going home it's nearly five " I say bringing my eyes from my watch to her face. She laughs awkwardly and proceeds to peep around me. I swing my body to see who she is looking at. Down the hall is the love of her life. Believe it or not, it's Jason, .I leave her and I walk down the hall, Jason looks like he is on a call and, I run my shoulder into him. "Hey" he cries out in pain. I reach for the door knob but he grabs my arm and drags me to the side. He pulls his phone from his ear and shoots me a look. I raise my eyebrows "You should watch where you are going " he says . I force my arm out of his hand and I slap him across the chest . He widens his eyes and gives me a confused look , I tilt my head towards Sasha's direction

" Looks like someone is waiting for you" I whisper in his ear , he glares at me in response. "Have fun on your date " he says trying to get on my nerves . I brush my hands off his shoulders and I grin at him "I will " .

I open the door and walk in to the office .I see Dante with his New assistant , he gets one each week ,just like Daniel . Don't get it wrong he doesn't date them ,he is fabulously gay. "Eliza baby" he yells swinging his arms around me and pulling me away almost immediately . I force on a smile ,He is a drama queen . The poor girl next to the couch keeps her head down ," Is that your new assistant " I ask

He coils his body swinging back his pink hair , he batters his lashes and continues chewing gum. "Yeah" he responds. I dip my body into the sofa and I greet her . She smiles awkwardly and doesn't make eye contact . I cough and I turn my eyes to Daniel who was in his seat , he smiles and briefly brings his phone from his ear

"Get anything you want " he whispers and continues with his call . Dante forcefully drags me up and I jump , he scares me he really does . A smile appears across his lips and disappears at the same rate .

He glares at the assistant and she pulls over two dresses. One is red like that little dipshit asked for,it is actually gorgeous ,short, off the shoulder ,the other is black with some lace action going on with a V- neck showing off cleavage . My eyes flicker over the two dresses , I could either wear red like he asked for or walk over his demand with the black one .

" I think you would look great in both" Dante says with the sound appraisal in his voice . He pulls the red one over to me and then the black one , switching it and telling me to keep my eyes on him . "Babe wear the red one " he says .

I puff " I don't think I can run in these" . He brings his eyes from his nails to my face at lightning speed .

" Excuse me " he yells in confusion . He gasps , and here comes the rant . He throws both dresses to his assistant and leans closer to me and I fall into the couch. I should know better by now ,I swear I see a spark in his eyes .

"Eliza , why would you need to run ? " he asks . I look in Daniel's direction for help but he is busy with his call , I take a deep breath and I push him back a little "I was just joking" I say smiling.

"You'd better be " he says tossing his hair in the hair and filling his nails. Daniel gets off his call and joins us , he takes both dresses and I see the assistant admire him out of the corner of her eyes . She blushes a little and steals glances at him , I look back at Daniel whose crystal blue eyes were on me .

He hands me the black dress "I like this one"

I giggle, "Sorry but I'm not taking requests"

. He lowers his eyes and looks back at me greedily. Did Daniel just ? No I'm just being paranoid. This whole fiasco with my date is giving me anxiety . He walks out of the office and Dante follows behind "Daniel have you been working out ?" he says grabbing and locking his arm with Daniel's .

I shrug of my clothes and they descend to the ground , the poor girl still wasn't looking up . "Hi I'm Eliza" I say tossing of my heels . She smiles and moves to the door ,she locks the door and hands me the dress. Her hands grab tightly on her red sweat shirt . I put on the black dress ,Not because Daniel asked but because I want to make my date mad.

How dare he shoot at me and ask me on a date ?

She brings over black tie up heels and sets it before me . I wear them and I adjust my self , "How do I look ?" I ask her.

"Elegant " she blurts out , I give her a bright smile "thank you". I put on a little make up and she offers to do my hair . A little princess braid and we are done . She hands me silver earrings ,I suddenly remember I will need my glasses . I tell her I'd be back and I leave the room .I see Dante alone leaning on the wall, he walks up to me

" Woah Eliza , Absolutely stunning" he declares . I smile and I walk over to my office . I finally find it in my bac and I return to Daniel's office . "I found it" I say swinging open the door . The office is empty ,I move over to the glass table but the earrings are no where to be found . Dante must've left with it ,I walk out and I turn off the lights .

I stride down the hall , I notice that the conference room lights are still on . Everyone left already ,who is still here?. I glance at my watch and I swing open the door . It's just Daniel , his blue eyes connect with my brown ones.

"Hey"

He walks around the long table and finally makes it to where I'm standing.

" I thought you left" I say ,reaching for the lights.

"Don't turn them off"he says ,I turn to look at him . He sits at the edge of the table ,I didn't notice before but I do now . He looks kinda sad , I sit next to him and I wait . "Are you ok? I ask him .

"Mhmm"

And that's when I realize he is probably waiting for one of his girls,"Daniel are you waiting for Candy? "

He shakes his head .

I look at my watch,I have twenty minutes to spare . I wonder if this is one of Daniel's little interests. I clear my throat "Is this one of your little kinks ? " . He laughs loudly and stands in front of me .

"Do you think I'd have sex with a woman in my office"

He leans into me, placing both hands on the table , his amused look suddenly becomes dead serious. His warm breath falls on me ,my heart starts racing.

"I'm not judging you" I say reassuring him , because I really don't care . I look at my watch , " Look at the time " I say trying to dismiss this tense situation.

He lowers his forehead to mine and our lips are inches apart , he cups my cheek and slowly brings his hand to my neck .His warmth radiates through my body, he gently strokes the skin sending my heart on a marathon.

"You forgot these" he says showing me the earrings and putting them on for me . His touch lingers . He swoops my hair to the side , making it easier to access my neck , I feel the desire growing .My head is telling me this is a bad idea , but I can't listen right now .

A smirk appears on his lips , his blue eyes resemble a beacon , a very tempting beacon . His hair falls to his face giving him his signature look , I resist and I place my hand on his chest . He smiles and holds it , I swear his touch is really something, Daniel could look at anyone and make them feel wanted. My eyes fall to his lips .

"Are you drunk Daniel"

"Let me show you"

Our lips collide , his soft lips lock with mine and his hand traces my back . He is gentle and not demanding, I dig my fingers into his white shirt and the other on his shoulder. I hunger for his taste and touch , his tongue finds its way into my mouth and I let out a moan, his taste is divine . I feel his lips pull away ,he plants kisses at the corner of my mouth and he pulls away . He smiles ,his eyes don't leave mine .

" See " he says

He pulls me closer to him and I move off the table. In a quick motion he buries his head into my neck and he starts to devour me , my hand travels through his hair and I gasp for breath, my need for him to touch every part of my body grows deeper , he pulls away again. His hand wraps around my waist and he glues our bodies together . His hand cups the back of my neck , he leans in . His phone suddenly rings , I pull away from him and I grab my purse . I run out as the room as fast as I can . I make it to the elevator and I keep pushing the button, praying in my mind for it to open .

It finally opens ,I get in . What the fuck did I just do ? . I walk into the streets and I see Dante and his assistant.

"Eliza I forgot something"

I look at the assistant behind him . My eyes flicker over her red sweat shirt. I walk past him and I grab her hands . She looks at me with surprise in her eyes . I smile at her

" I need your help ....can I have your sweat shirt?".
