“Ugh, never mind I wouldn’t want to bore you with the details.”

He bends and pulls me up by the hands. He places his big hands on my shoulders and rubs them affectionately. “Come on, tell me.”

“It’s just this place, it’s not doing very well. We haven’t made a profit in months, not one that makes a difference anyway.” He lifts my head and to look him in the eyes.

“Can I do anything to help?”

I shake my head slightly. I don’t want Adam to worry this is my problem. I’ll have to fix it.

“Let me help to make it better.” Adam says as he places his lips on mine, my worries suddenly begin to fade. I’m just me; twenty-one -year-old, Darcy Ambrose. Who’s probably had two boyfriends in her life, having her worries kissed away by the gorgeous, self-assured man that is Adam Willows.

He lifts me to sit on the desk so that we’re nose to nose, I take advantage of being the same height for a few minutes. His lips touch mine as my hands go to his hard chest while he kisses me.

My hands trail up his chest to his neck, feeling his stubble under my palms; it’s a bit shorter today than it was on Saturday so he must have trimmed it to stay like this.

I open my mouth letting my tongue enters his mouth and dominate the kiss, he moans through the kiss but after a few moments he begins to pull away, after all we are in my office.

He sighs heavily as he pulls from me and looks at his watch. “Ugh, I have to go and I’ll have you know, I have to go meeting with a stonker.”

I burst out laughing at his choice of words.

“It’s not funny.”

“I think it is, I’m sorry.”

“Want to go out later, my treat?”

“Yes, to going out, but no to the treat. You paid Saturday.”

He kisses my forehead then my lips quickly, winks at me then turns toward the door. He smiles as he walks out the door. “Enjoy your coffee.” He adds as he struts confidently past the office window and out of the garage.

I shuffle off the desk and sit back in my chair, take the lid from my coffee and take my cookie from the bag. I break a piece off and let the chocolate goodness ease away my worries for a few minutes, then I get back to work.

Considering I thought this was the worst day of the week; Adam has just completely turned it around.
