penthouse.
    As the doors parted, I could tell someone was home. I put my purse down on the table in the foyer and wandered through the apartment.
    I finally found David in his office. He was sitting at his huge desk, deeply entranced by whatever it was on his screen. He had several file folders out on the desk next to him, and a serious look on his face. However engaging the material was, though, it only took him a split second to notice me.
    “Baby,” he sat back in his chair and smiled as he closed the laptop, “come here.” He motioned to his lap.
    I deliberately stayed in the doorway, teasing him.
    “How was your day?” I asked, flirting at him with my eyes.
    His eyes glimmered back with the stimulus. He knew what I was doing. “Good, baby. I didn’t have any meetings this afternoon, so I decided to work from home.”
    “Oh, that’s a shame. You should have told me. I was off early today, too.” I ran my hand along the door frame.
    “Oh really? And what have you been up to, may I ask?” David got up slowly, his gaze never leaving mine.
    “Oh, I just ran by my place and had coffee with a neighbor.”
    That got him. I knew it would. “And which neighbor is this? You better say Leslie,” he said, as he rounded the desk towards me. I loved it when I was able to tap into his jealous side. He became all possessive and super alpha male.
    “Oh, no. Greg, the guy who moved in a few weeks ago across the street. I think I mentioned him before?”
    “You did not, Ms. Sharp,” he said sternly as he positioned himself a few inches from me.
    Ooh. We had skipped right from Baby to Ms. Sharp. The air crackled between us. My eyes dipped down and observed him. He was still dressed in a suit, his tie just barely loosened.
    “Don’t worry. He’s harmless.”
    A deep sound emanated from somewhere in his throat. Was that a growl? Whatever it was, it was incredibly erotic.
    “Was Elliot with you?”
    “Yes,” I breathed as he moved in even closer.
    “I don’t like you cavorting around town with strange men, Samantha.” His voice started to reveal a Louisiana accent, and I knew he was worked up, even as he gently kissed my neck.
    “He’s not strange. He’s my neighbor.” I tilted my neck to the side, opening myself to him. I could feel the place between my thighs moistening.
    “How do you know?” he murmured “I haven’t run a background check on him. He could be a serial killer for all you know.” He paused and gently bit my earlobe. “Besides… you’re mine. He can’t have you.” His territorial comments really turned me on, but I needed him to calm down. It was still early, and I knew I needed to get a run in before it was too late, otherwise the late afternoon caffeine would keep me up all night.
    “Relax. It was just coffee. Really. He’s harmless I promise.” I pushed back against David’s chest as he tried to grab me around my waist. “I was thinking about going for a run. Do you want to come with? You can keep an eye on me and make sure no one tries to take me to coffee.”
    David smirked and mulled over the options in his head for a split second before he came to his decision. He didn’t say anything, and instead picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. He took me to the bedroom, and I was surprised when he put me down on the bed and started to take out his running clothes. Well, I guess we are going running, I thought, slightly disappointed.
    We were both pulling on our running shoes when David glanced over at me.
    “You’re not going out like that, are you?”
    “What?” I looked down. I was wearing a hot pink sports bra and black running tights. My hair was in a high ponytail. I thought I looked pretty sporty.
    “You can’t be serious. Is that what you normally wear running?” David didn’t usually exercise with me. He tended to get up early to work out with a trainer.
    “No, it depends on how I’m feeling. Why what’s wrong with it?” I said innocently, looking down at
