me to live each day to the fullest and to have no regrets.
    I saw a subtle change in him.  He’d always been a glass is half full kind of guy, but was ruthless when need be.  Now he seemed to be more carefree.  He wanted to go and enjoy life, not live it behind a desk.  I guess cancer would do that to you.  I’m glad he was cured and healthy, but that didn’t change the fact that he had kept it from me.
    The board meeting was boring as hell.  Luckily, the lunch was good.  I pretended to pay attention, but my thoughts kept drifting to what my dad had told me.  I needed to live my life to the fullest.  We didn’t know what tomorrow would hold.
    I gave him a huge hug and kiss on the cheek before leaving.  He promised me that he would never withhold anything again.  I gave Karen my love and told her that if he so much as stubbed a toe I wanted to know.  To see the two of them together, my dad wrapping an arm around her shoulders, they fit and both deserved to be happy.
    The drive back to the hotel went fast.  I decided to go in the front door.  Given all I’d learned that day, I decided to give the media a little show.
    The Town Car pulled up and the flashbulbs went off.  Two doormen rushed to push the paparazzi aside and make room for me.  Once my door was opened I stepped out and walked toward the building like I was on top of the world.
    Photogs were yelling at me.  “Ms. Markson is it true you’re dating Radek Cole?  Do you know about his past relationship with a married woman?”
    I put my hands up in front of me in an effort to quiet them down.  “Hi everyone.  By the way, I’m fine, thank you for asking.  I will not now or ever tell you about my personal life.  As for Radek, call off the hounds.  His past is just that, the past.  I will not tell you if I am or not dating him.  It’s none of your business.  Now if you’ll excuse me, I have an appointment to keep.  I suggest you all go home.  You won’t be seeing me out here again.”
    The two doormen walked at my sides, not letting anyone get close enough to touch me.  Once in the hotel I thanked them for their assistance and rode the elevator up.  I thought about getting changed, but wanted to see Radek too badly first.
    I was a woman on a mission.  Knocking on his door, it took only seconds for him to open it.  I didn’t give him the chance to say anything.  Pushing my way in, I backed him to the wall and took possession of his mouth.
    At first he didn’t respond and then tried to push me away, but I was relentless in my pursuit.  It didn’t take long before he gave in.  Our kiss was rough and greedy.  Tongues clashing, fingers digging into flesh, and the next thing I knew, he was the one that had me pinned to the wall.
    His hands moved to my breasts and massaged them roughly.  My suit jacket was in the way.  In an effort to get it off, we broke the kiss.  Throwing it to the floor, I stepped into him, but this time he backed up.
    “We talked about this, Kasi.  You caught me off guard just now.”
    “Oh my God!  Get over it man!  This is bullshit and you know it.  I have been through a hell of a day and my only focus after leaving the meeting was you.  You!  You are what I wanted to come back to.”  This man was infuriating!  “Do you know what I found out today?  That my dad had colon cancer.  He didn’t tell me until today, he had already had surgery to remove it and has been given the all clear.  Do you know what he told me?”
    His posture relaxed and he shook his head.
    “To live every day like it were my last.  If you don’t want me, honestly don't want me, then I’m done trying.  I will not waste any more of my time chasing you.  We have known each other exactly one day, but I feel like I’ve known you for years.  I don’t know how to explain any of it.  If you let me walk away now then any relationship from here on out will be strictly professional.  So what’s it going to be?”
