Just another day, thought Bella as she swiped her access card the red light turning green giving her entry into the building. Her eyes averted to the floor making her way to the elevator, the sounds of fellow co-workers making their way in behind her and easily passing her; all eager to get the day over with. Bella took a step into the elevator as the doors opened gradually getting shoved to the back unnoticed. She stood watching the doors about to close only to be stopped by a hand slipping between them. For no particular reason Bella focused on the hand and the doors automatically opening out of curiosity of whom it belonged to.

-o-

Edward was running late, nothing new with this picture. No matter what he tried to do, he was always late. He could set his alarm to go off earlier, but that didn't seem to help. Now here he was starting a new job and was going to be late. Edward fumbled in his coat pocket for the access card he was given a few days ago after he completed filling out his paperwork. To no avail he couldn't seem to find the bloody card. "For fuck sakes" he mumbled under his breath, already feeling defeated.

A soft chuckle behind Edward startled him. He quickly turned around, eyes wandering at the woman standing in front of him. She smiled, her eyes looking him over.

"You must have misplaced your card," she asked, reaching in her bag for hers swiping it through the machine. Edward nodded putting on his best boyish grin that brightened his emerald eyes which bound to make any girl weak in the knees. "Seems I have," Edward exclaimed, running his fingers through his unruly hair.

Edward Masen knew he was good looking, a 20 on any list. Tall, athletic built and smooth British accent, Edward could have any girl eating out of the palm of his hand. He wasn't vain, like most would expect, he was well balanced. He liked to indulge, treat himself to new tastes. His sexual drive had women always crawling back for more, but he was easily bored. Finding someone who could keep his interest and challenge him seemed to be his downfall.

The young woman, who Edward found attractive but lacking curves, held the door open for him with a glint in her eye, he suspected she was hoping he would ask for her number. She tilted her head batting her lashes, "Are you coming? We wouldn't want you late for your first day." Shaking his head, Edward walked past the woman about to make small talk until taking a glimpse at the time realizing he was already five minutes late. "Thank you. You are a life saver." He took one last look at the woman- who, if he wished, could have her sprawled out on the concierge desk that was not being used- before walking hastily to the elevator door watching it close. Fuck, hurry your ass up Masen. He couldn't chance waiting for the next one, his strides longer, reaching his arm out catching the door with his hand.

Bella was in awe, staring at the man stepping into the elevator. He had to be new, she thought. She hadn't seen him before. He glanced in her direction, their eyes locking on each other for a brief moment. That was enough to melt her into a puddle of 'I'll do whatever you want me to do', she was lost in his jaded orbs unable to look away.

Edward noticed the young lady who seemed to be dazed by him flashing his charming smile with a wink. A rose hue tinted the apples of the woman's cheeks; embarrassed by this, she looked away from Edward cursing herself for being so obvious. He chuckled quietly to himself as she turned away giving him the chance to look her over. He liked what he saw, curves in the right places but her shyness was hindering any chances.

Bella sighed as he turned away. Gutted with her lack of confidence enabling her from ever meeting anyone, she watched him from behind. Imaging what his hair would feel like between her fingers. His lips, Bella leaned back against the wall chewing on her bottom lip thinking about those luscious lips. The places she would like to have them explore sending a tingling sensation through her body ending between her legs. Bella let out a soft sigh thinking about how his mouth would feel buried between her legs, his tongue devouring her, tasting her. She gripped back onto the railings lined around the elevator walls engrossed in her daydream.

Bella opened dazed eyes only to find herself stark naked and the mysterious stranger removed of his jacket and shirt. Sucking in a breath of air Bella let her eyes wandered down his chest, the contour of his abdomen muscles outlining a six pack. The hunger etching in his eyes sent another shiver through her, feeling her heart begin to pound against her chest. He looked at her like he wanted to ravage her and ravage away she would let him. Bella wasn't gorgeous in no means - she had curves when wearing the right clothes, but always found herself plain and boring. Average in appearance and who wanted someone that was average? But the way his eyes were leering at her, he did.

He took two strides over crushing his mouth hard against hers, locking her into a heated kiss. Using his body to pin her against the wall, Bella felt his fingers curl around her waist digging into her flesh. Her lungs screaming for air, denying their request to relish in the taste of him; gladly parting her lips at his tongue's request engaging in a dance for dominance. Her dainty fingers taking the opportunity to touch this mysterious delight, slowly gliding over his chest only added to her fire burning in need. The greed and desire coursing through her body and his savor now lingering in her mouth set her body ablaze in ecstasy.

Hot, wet kisses began to trail down her jaw which allowed Bella to gasp for that needed breath of air. She angled her head to give him a more desirable avenue to her silky neck. Her chest rising and falling to the pounding of her hear and glided her hands along his shoulders twisting to trail up the back of his neck as his lips descend down her rampant chest.

"Oh my," Bella's voice staggered softly, tightening her grip around the railing, eyes fluttered shut oblivious to curious eyes staring at her, catching Edward's attention as well. He glanced over his shoulder watching the young lady absorbed in her castle in the air. The heaving of her chest and flexing of her fingers along with what he thought for sure was a soft moan arousing him. Maybe there was more underneath that shy exterior, he thought.

The teasing tip of his tongue slithering down in waved patterns lull between her breasts. Bella glimpsed down to meet with dark green oculars glistening in covetousness. Long tender fingers crept over her stomach to capture her perky breasts using the pad of his thumb to rub in a circular motion over her nipples wanting them hard. His eyes fixated on hers, Bella's body shuddering at his touch, moisture pooling between her legs aching to feel that delectable tongue between them. Tangling her fingers into his hair, Bella pressed her chest out, arching her back, into his hands. The stranger's tongue drawing lazy circles between her breasts as his hands knead firmly, driving her crazy into a quiet whimper.

Bella mumbled under her breath, lost in her fantasy forgetting she was in an elevator full of people. "So good," arching her back off the wall her head fell back. Edward grew more intrigued with her, noting that others were not paying attention like he was. He started to fall back, eyes focusing on her tongue darting across her bottom lip, wishing he could see into what illusion that had captivated her.

The ache between her legs too strong to ignore, Bella gently started to push his head further south. A low chuckle erupted from deep in his throat taking the hint. One hand gradually drifting over her stomach slipping between her legs encouraging them open nudging her knee with his elbow. Bella held in her stomach as his tongue swirled around her navel, flicking as it followed the invisible line down letting out a low growl discovering her hairless sex, nipping at her flesh. A breath of air catching in her throat as his tongue stroked between her slit.

Bella gasped, enthralled in her world. Edward fixated on the little actions her body mimicked. The elevator came to a jolt causing a distracted Edward to fall over into a daydreaming Bella.

The crashing of a body into Bella yanked her back to reality, startled eyes widening in horror apprehending her whereabouts, and to make matters worse the body itself belonging to the person she was fantasizing about. Edward watched a flustered Bella straighten up releasing her grip upon the railing dropping her bag in the process. The blood in Bella rushed all at once to her cheeks, a dark red hue gracing the apples. The doors opened and the crowd starting to clear leaving Edward and Bella alone.

Her eyes dropped to the ground, embarrassed and shock settling in. She kneeled down to pick up her bag the same time as Edward did, electricity streaming through her as his elbow brushed against her knee. An instant flash of her daydream caused her to gasp peering up cautiously to find his eyes casting to hers.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," Edward exclaimed, flashing a dashing smile, his British accent evident. He liked how he could affect women, but the way she was reacting pleased him and at the same time drew him in more. Bella started to chew on her lip, a nasty habit she's had her whole life only appearing when she is nervous.

Shaking her head, Bella mustered up the courage to say something back. "No, No. It's fine. Honest." She cursed herself, wishing she had the confidence to be more eccentric. Edward chuckled reaching down to scoop up her bag.

"I think you dropped this," he said holding it out by the strap looped around his finger. Bella couldn't help but smile back, his smile contagious. "Thank you," she replied as she took her bag back from him. Bella rose at the same time he had, her heart racing. Edward found her adorable and intriguing. He was about to ask her name when a figure peered into the elevator. "Are you Edward?" The person asked, glancing between the guy and girl.

Edward nodded, slightly disappointed that he was interrupted. "Yeah, that's me," he noticed the clock right outside of the doors now showing he was fifteen minutes late. "Cac."

"Yeah, Mr. Banner is waiting for you," gesturing with his hand, the man wanted Edward to follow him. He looked at her giving an apologetic smile following behind the man, disappearing as he rounded the corner.

Bella stood there, dumbfounded with how this 'Edward' could affect her like this. Everything about him was drawing her in and was awakening something deep inside of her that she had never felt before. Collecting herself, Bella stepped out of the elevator making her way to her department.
