"I thought you would not want to see me again after last night." Robert finds himself saying the words out loud. He doesn't know why he says it. The thought was only in his mind and it just suddenly spills out from his mouth like unstoppable sneeze.

They are sitting face to face in his office. It's a moderately big office as one would have as a president of a company. It has the same industrial style as the lobby downstairs. In fact the entire 4 storey office building is specifically designed in a similar tone of industrial studio concept. Robert's office has three big windows right behind his work desk. The rest of the room is walled with concrete bricks intensifying the industrial feel to the room. Above them on the ceilings the building beams that are made of steel are purposely left apparent. The office door is made of dark solid oak. If it's not because of the many pictures of finished project hanged around the wall, one would assume this room is a café.

"You mean after you pinned me and kissed me in a darkened London Alley and leave me flustered in the middle of the night?" Cora asks him blatantly. She has her hands folded on her lap. She looks at him straight on the eyes with the same coldness as before.

Robert feels himself flushed at her blatant questions. "It's not a darkened alley. There was adequate lighting…" He mutters. "Why are you here… Cora?"

She ignores his use of her first name. "Did you really mean what you said last night Mr. Crawley?" She asks.

"I've never say things that I don't mean." He answers, scowling at her formal demeanor. It just feels odd for him after what occurred last night. It however surprises Robert that he feels slightly hurt about her way of addressing him and the way she talks to him right now. Why is she looking at him so coldly anyway?

Cora reaches inside her Bassano bag and pulls out a folder. "I've asked the board of directors back home to decide whether to fund your company or the French's in 3 days. I've sent my people to go take some pictures in your site today and the French's too. I also have forwarded all essential documents for the board's consideration. I hereby as for the moment no longer have the right to decide where the fund will go." She hands the folder to Robert.

Robert takes it from her and read the document inside the folder. It's a decision letter from the headquarters of Trinity Funding. "That's very wise." Robert says and smiles at her, but Cora's expression remain unchanged.

"So do you still want to spend more time with me now Mr. Crawley?" Cora asks him. Robert closes the folder back and stares at her. A chill runs down Robert's spine. So this is why she is acting so coldly. "I thought so." She assumes without waiting for his answer. She stands up and walks towards the door.

"How dare you." Robert says, instantly feels hot under the collar from her words and action. He resents her tone. It cannot be deny that he needs her funding, but that's not what drove him to hold her hand and that's certainly not why he kissed her last night. She is wrong. Hadn't he told her that last night? He does want to spend more time with her. He does find her extremely alluring but her looking down at him like this is just wrong. "How dare you." Robert says it again.

His words stop her on her track. "After your stunt last night what did you think I'd do? I am not a teenage girl Robert Crawley. You can't just say some nice words, kiss me and think I'll fund your project." She turns to look at him only to be shocked by his close presence already standing in front of her. She gasps at the closeness. His blue eyes are as cold as the one she has a moment ago.

"I've told you I am not that low of a man." Robert says. His voice is low.

"How could I believe you? You need the fund. I could give it to you. That's why you did what you did last night, isn't it? Now I clearly can't do anything. I have no use to you anymore. The board will decide, just wait for the news in 3 days. Goodbye Mr. Crawley." She turns and starts to walk to the door, she pulls the door but unable to open it. Robert is right behind her, his hands are placed between her on the door.

"I've never planned it." He says. He can smell her sensual perfume again. That enthralling florally scent. "It's true that I need funding for the project but you are wrong about everything else Cora."

Cora feels like she needs to get out of this room. His closeness is not something she can resist any longer. The effect this man, a man that she just met yesterday has over her is reason she needs to leave as soon as possible. Handing the decision to the board is necessary. She couldn't have made a fair judgment. "Let me out." She says but her hands remains still on her sides. She is not sure now whether she really wants to go out. If she insists she is sure he'll allow her to open the door and get out of this place but somehow her body does not want to cope.

"I've never planned it." He says it again breathing on her neck. He can feel her shivers. His hands slowly move down onto both sides of her arms. He holds her and turns her around. The coldness in her eyes has vanished. Instead her eyes are now filled with fresh glint of passion and lust. Robert knows she wants him as much as he wants her right now. He can feel it from the way her fingers tugging on his suit. They are not intoxicated at the moment and they are both very much adult on this matter. To add to the matter, they are no longer in an alley.

As his heart beats faster Robert leans down and kisses her as deeply as he kissed her last night. He sucks on her lips and rolls his tongue inside her mouth. Cora finally relents and kisses him back just as hungrily. Their tongues clashed and she feels herself moaning. She moans in his mouth just as she moaned last night. Robert uses his one hand and locks the door behind her. It'd do no good to either of their reputation if they are to be found later in any sort of uncompromising situation.

He lifts her up, her legs wrapped around his hips and she kisses his neck and lips and any part of him that her lips could reach. He brings her on to the sectional sofa at the far end corner of the office. Inwardly he wants to high-five himself for putting a set of sofa on that corner for small meetings. He lays her down on to the sofa. He takes off his suit and vest. He leans down kissing her again this time with even more vigor. He unzips her dress and pulls it down to her belly area. His hand unclasped her bra and he cups one of her breast, stroking the nipple lightly with his thumb. His lips find the other one and he sucks on her nipples evoking another gasp from her lips. Her hands rub his hair. Robert's other hand is lifting her dress along her soft velvety thigh up to her belly area. Her dress is gathering on her middle. His hand finds her laced panties and pulls it down roughly. His finger slowly glides into her vagina. It makes her moans. His finger slides in easily since she is warm and wet and ready for him. He moves his head on to her face. He kisses her again. His tongue enters her mouth just as he slides another finger inside of her. In and out, she moans again in his mouth. Her juice is overflowing. Robert brushes her centre in circular motions with his thumb. It makes her throws her head back exposing her pale slender neck.

Breathing heavily Cora reaches out and pulls on Robert's black tie, taking it off. She pulls his shirt out that was tucked under his pants and unbuttons it as well. All the moment Robert is watching her undressing him. Her hands reach to unfasten his buckle and in a swift moment his pants is down to his knees. His cock is released. It's hard as rock. Cora touches it and strokes his length. She then licks the tip and puts it inside her mouth. Robert put his hand on her hair guiding her. Her action makes Robert starts to pants, his cock is swollen and hardening even more. It feels so good but he would not stand it much longer. He takes a hold of her hand and looks at her in the eyes to find assurance. She leans back on the sofa and spreads her legs for him. He then enters her slowly, savoring every feeling her wet tightness provides him. The whole time he looks into her eyes. Blue eyes meet blue eyes. No words are exchange between them. It's all body language. They both pant and moan and for a moment they seem to forget that they are inside an office in the middle of the day at a busy business district in London.

Their movement becomes faster and faster. He pounds into her harder and she tightens around him until finally he comes inside her. He grunts on her neck and she bites on his shoulder trying to stifle her moaning. If the bite hurts Robert can hardly feel it from all the pleasure he is experiencing at the moment. They are both spent. He lies on top of her on the sofa. Both sweating and breathing heavily trying to get their breathing back to normal.

"This is madness." He hears her says between her breath.

"Beautiful madness…" He says as breathlessly.
