A/N: Thank my friend Caitlyn for saying I should post even though I posted twice yesterday so MURRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!


SHTL- Almost Back to Normal: Part 2

I slowly get up smelling Dolce & Gabbana in the air. I flip over seeing the steam leave the bathroom as Ian walks out completely naked. I couldn't help but smile, as he was completely oblivious to me while walking into the closet. I sat up right when he reached the doorway.

"You have a very nice ass."

Ian smiled, "Good morning to you too. Why are you staring at my behind?"

"I couldn't help it it's quite the sight."

"When did you become an ass girl?"

"Since I realized I was bisexual."

His eyes widened, "For how long?"

"Maybe since I was fourteen never told you because it didn't matter anymore because I plan on spending my life with you."

He smiled again, "Oh. That's why you're so aggressive."

"You think you've seen the aggressive side of me?"

"Would you like to prove me wrong?" He asked finally putting on underwear.

"Maybe after my first day of work which I should get ready for," I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

I came out the closet fully dressed as Ian put on his cufflinks, "Wh- No… no… you can't wear that."

"What? Why not you're wearing a purple shirt so I wanted to match."

"No I won't let you wear that you look too sexy."

"I'm wearing this dress and you can't stop me."

"Tiara I'm your boss don't push me."

"Too late cause I'm wearing it."

"Then you're locked in your office all day."

"I can't because we have a meeting… Janice already caught me up," I finished with a sweet smile walking out.

Cheynne was downstairs eating cereal, "Good morning."

"Good morning," Ian and I said at the same time.

"You two look snazzy."

"Thanks," We said at the same time again.

"Are you sure you will be okay alone today?" I asked.

"Yeah I promise."

I gave her a smile then walked out the front door, "My car or yours?" Ian asked.

"Uh yours cause I got to go get Cheynne's stuff including her car."

"Want me to driving you over there?"

"Yeah I will need some man power," I said sitting down in the passenger's seat. As we turned left onto North Causeway Boulevard, I began staring down at my new ring.

"I bought a new one because too many bad memories were attached to the old one," Ian said answering my mental question.

"What did you do with it?"

"I kept it, the ring you have now I incorporated my own ideas with Tyler's ring since I knew it hurt you saying goodbye to him."

"It hurt me more to think about losing you."

Ian smiled, "When did we trade places and you started making me blush?"

"Hmm I don't know maybe the day that I realized it's impossible for me to live without you."

"Gosh you're on a roll."

We pulled up into the C.E.O. spot then Ian walked around to my side to open my door. I hadn't even held my bag for two seconds before he pulled it out of my hands.

"I can't believe you're wearing that."

'Why not?"

"I should've just tore the damn thing off you I don't even know why I bought that."

"Because you knew I, your fiancée, would look good in it." I stepped into the elevator leaning back on the wall looking at my gorgeous pack mule. "I could've told you that I don't want you wearing that because you look very sexy quite… dominating if you will."

"Do I remind you of someone?"

"You could say-"

"Oh my goodness Tiara you look great never ever leave again!" Janice said hugging me tight.

"Uh thanks and I don't plan on it." She finally let me go so I could follow Ian into my office. He hadn't lied everything was exactly where I left it I knew custodians had been in there since there wasn't any dust.

"Everything up to par?"

"Mhm I'm ready to work." I walked around the desk and sat down in my chair.

"You look very sexy sitting behind a desk… taking charge."

I could tell he was hinting around to what I said might happen tonight. "Get out of my office I need do my work."

"You're kicking me out? I do own the place so this is my room."

"What's yours is mine babe."

Ian smirked, "Oh yes everything. I guess I'll leave you alone now." He walked over then kissed me slowly taking his sweet time pulling away.

God he is such a tease! I powered up my computer and the first thing I saw was that I had a meeting. I tried to organize everything that I possible could with only five minutes. Just as I finished the door opened a dark brown haired, slightly scruffy, tall, athletic, man walked in with black rimmed glasses possibly in his early to mid-twenties.

"I'm Dylan Beckford," He said holding out his hand.

"Hello I'm Tiara Green," I replied shaking his hand. "Wow you're attractive," I mumbled a little too loudly making him blush.

"Thank you you're really pretty."

"Thanks… oh uh please have a seat."

The room got awkwardly silent, "Well I'm the new IT guy here and apparently I will be working closely with you."

"Ah, yeah I set up the site and junk but I guess you will be doing that from now on"

"Yeah the big boss wanted to take some stuff off your plate since he will be adding on different stuff. I still have to come to you for all the stories to actually put up there."

"Oh makes sense. Do you have to have the first day meeting with him?"

"Yup right when we are done I go in there. I've heard that he can be a complete asshole."

"Oh yes he can be a very big asshole."

"Sounds like a douche."

"Mhm but he's my asshole I'll claim him any day."

Dylan glanced down at my left hand, "Oh my god I'm so sorry! Wow I… just... I'm so sorry I didn't know he was your husband!"

I couldn't contain my laughter, "No need to be sorry I- Mr. Somerhalder is my fiancé actually but it hasn't always been that way. When I first came here he gave me the speech too and let's just say he was in a rotten mood."

"I'm sorry again and do you think he is in a better mood maybe?"

"He hasn't yelled at anyone lately so I would say that is a good sign. C'mon I'll take you in there to make sure he isn't mean." I got up from my chair and so did Dylan. He followed behind me as I walked through the side door. Ian looked up and smiled at me but it dimmed when he saw Dylan.

"This is Mr. Dylan Beckford our new IT guy and he's here for the ritual first day meeting with you."

"Thank you Ms. Green, please have a seat Mr. Beckford."

As Dylan walked past me I whispered, "Good luck." I walked over to Ian and said, "Be nice to him you know what will happen if you aren't."

A slight smirk kissed Ian's lips, "I'll be on my best behavior."

I turned on my heel and walked back into my office. Occasionally I would glance over and see Ian and Dylan smiling and laughing. I huess not being in work for so long, everything seemed to go by faster. I knew exact when Dylan left without even looking because I could feel Ian's gaze. I kept working as if nothing were happening even though a movie was going through his head. My phone vibrated but I didn't bother to pick it up I already knew who it was.

I got up and walked into Ian's office. "Why do insist on bothering me?"

"You keep throwing me off track with your attire."

"Is that your way of beating around the bush saying that you can barely control yourself?"

He got up and moved so close to me I had to back up against the wall. He placed his hands on the glass wall trapping me. His lips hovered over mine, "I think I control myself very well."

I could feel the heat and tension building up between us so close to maximum capacity. All I wanted was for him to touch me that's I all I needed to help me survive the rest of the day. Right when I thought he was going to kiss me, he said,

"Ready to go?"

"Uh where?"

"The meeting? I thought Janice caught you up." He said smirking.

"Oh right well do I need to bring anything with me Mr. Somerhalder."

"Just your very exposed behind Ms. Green… but not for long."

I could feel the color rising to my cheeks as we walked to the meeting room. Every executive in the building was there including Cody who sat on Ian's left as I sat on his right.

"Good afternoon everyone I hope you enjoyed the break without me because I won't be leaving anytime soon. Mr. Caldwell told me about the progress on the everlasting Texas negotiation. As I'm sure you all have heard I'm trying to incorporate a medium with Horizon Publications and the Ian Somerhalder Foundation…."

Gosh, he is so sexy when he is in dominating boss mode.

"Later on today I will have a meeting with a very important person that can help us reach the goal of building an empire that focuses on the importance of a healthy environment. With all the revenue we make every minute, it shouldn't be too hard to turn the idea into a result. As we get closer to success, we will talk more about bringing in a new team of people, moving current employees around, and adding on to some people's workload. I do want to stress that no one… no one will lose his or her job as a result of this expansion. In other news, Ms. Tiara Green, my fiancée, is back permanently, picking up where she left off as my right hand woman. An email will be sent out to all the employees that were moved around to other executives. If you don't mind Ms. Green there will be more people reporting to you."

He slowly looked down at me exposing his eyes that gave away his highly inappropriate thoughts. "Bring it on."

A smirk blossomed on his lips, "Great. Any questions?"

"The new tech guy, Dylan Beckford, will he have our laptop updates done before the day is over?" Joe asked.

"He should if not then I will talk to him about it. Anything else?"

"This isn't a question but Mr. Somerhalder we have another meeting to get to and you're overlapping on time." I said.

He smiled down at me, "Thank you for reminding me Ms. Green, meeting adjourned." I got up and began to walk out but the door closed in front of me as hands slid down to my hips and pulled me back, "If you keep giving me that provocative look and biting that lip we will have an audience at the door when I fuck the shit out of you," Ian whispered in my ear.

Everything in me clenched tight, "I'm so sorry boss won't happen again."

He turned me around planting a soft kiss on my lips, "We have a meeting to get to." I took his hand and followed him to his office with shaky legs.

I cannot handle any more sexiness I will burst at the seams. I pulled out some papers I had to look over as we waited for the mystery person. The door opened and closed but I didn't care to look up since I was expecting another less attractive older man.

"Sorry for being late the airport was mad."

When I heard a quite masculine British accent, my leg started bouncing needing to centralize all my sexual feelings.

"Nice to see you again Ian and I don't think we've had the pleasure of meeting you are?"

I looked up and instantly blushed as a pair of olive green eyes looked down at me. "Uh… I'm… I… Tiara Green," I finally replied holding out my hand. I was expecting a shake but got a slow kiss right above my knuckles. The blonde bristles of his beard tickled my skin.

"I must say you look quite gorgeous, a picture of perfection."

I giggled involuntarily, "Thanks." Jeez, my own fiancé doesn't make me act like this.

"I'm sorry where are my manners? I'm Alex Pettyfer."

I couldn't help but smile, "Yeah… I know."

Ian cleared his throat, "So let's start."

After about thirty minutes of in detail conversing about energy and a better planet, I was ready for a distraction. I could tell Ian had been a little agitated since my fan-girl greeting.

We all stood and Ian shook Alex's hand, "See you this evening."

"Can't wait…" He turned towards me, "Can't wait to see you again either. Until this evening." Alex walked out with grace, hands in his pockets.

When the door closed I slowly turned around to Ian I could feel his impenetrable gaze. His hands were on his hips, "What was that?"

"I'm sorry I just wow he's… good lord. I'm sorry! I'll just shut up."

"No please explain."

"Well just all this… sexual frustration and Alex being so… Alex then Magic Mike flashbacks I just lord my panties are nonexistent."

Ian raised an eyebrow running his index finger across his bottom lip. I hated when he did that. "Fine."

"Fine what?"

"I understand I can't blame you."

"Oh."

"You'll be okay at dinner tonight?"

"Mhm."

"Then I guess we should head out."
