position I came to after my accident with Scotch. I guessed you could say it was sentimental.
    Ignoring it all, I convinced myself to stop being a drama queen. There would be a reasonable explanation for his lack of communication. I made my way to work, walking to my desk with my breath held. I calmed to a degree when I saw no one in yet. After making a hot cup of tea, I felt able to face the world.
    I was almost halfway through my cup of tea when Paul came in. He breezed into the room, heading straight for his office, and closed the door behind him without so much of a look at me.
    My anger began boiling, filtering through every cell of my body. How dare he treat me like this. Who did he think he was? On the verge of barging into his office full of fury, I jumped when he opened his door, sending a stern look my way.
    “Kyra, have you got a minute?”
    My heart started racing as I edged towards him. His eyes were difficult to read this morning, giving nothing away. I entered his office, grinding my teeth as he closed the door behind me. As I turned to face him, he cupped my face in his hands, gifting me with a tender kiss. I became lost all over again as he made my knees buckle with his invigorating scent and divine touches.
    “Good morning, beautiful. You look rather radiant today.”
    I smiled, letting out a sigh of relief. “Morning.”
    “I’m so sorry I didn’t call you yesterday. I bet you thought the worst of me by this morning, didn’t you?”
    I folded my arms across my chest. “I think it was well deserved.”
    His hands trailed down my arms before settling in the curves of my waist. “I’m sorry…” He nuzzled into my neck, leaving gentle kisses on my skin. “You smell so good…” His teeth nibbled at me, sending shivers down my spine. “You taste so good…” He ran his hands up and down my body. “You feel so good…” He worked his way back to my lips, kissing me with a deep passion. “Is there anything not good about you?”
    Despite floating on cloud nine, my sarcasm couldn’t be helped. “Yes. My temper when I don’t get a call.”
    He grinned, opening his mouth to say something when the outer office door banged shut, making me jump.
    “Where’s Kyra?” I heard Andrews ask.
    Whoever he was with said nothing.
    “Hmmm,” Andrews said. “Is Paul in?”
    We heard footsteps closing in, sending me into panic mode as I smoothed out my clothes, forgetting my flustered cheeks. Paul stayed cool, opening the door before Andrews did.
    “Ahh, Paul,” he said. “Kyra, I wondered where you were, dear. Could I have five minutes when Paul is finished with you, please?”
    I nodded to him, struggling not to smirk as I thought of how long Paul could be before he was finished with me.
    Paul nodded. “I’ll be done in a few minutes, John.”
    Closing the door, he turned back to me, grinning. “Now, shall we finish up here?”
    A broad smile folded across my face as I submitted myself to his blissful kisses once more.

    Just as the clock struck lunchtime, my phone rang from an outside line. I frowned, wondering who it could be.
    “Hello. Kyra speaking.”
    A deep voice laughed down the line. “Well hello, young lady.”
    I squealed in delight. “Ashley! Is that really you?”
    “The one and only, my lovely. What time is your lunch?”
    “Now. Why?”
    “I’m outside.”
    I charged out of the door like a bull in a china shop, taking the stairs two at a time, nearly breaking my ankle several times.
    He stood outside my work’s entrance, opening his arms for a giant hug. I ran straight to him, screaming with joy. He picked me up, swinging me round before kissing my cheek.
    “What are you doing here? You said you wouldn’t be back until the weekend.”
    He put me down with a big grin. “I wanted to surprise you.”
    I grinned, grabbing his hand. “Come on. We have lots to talk about.”
