All Night Long



Chapter One: Page One

Zell Dincht rode the elevator up to the thirty-sixth

floor of the Chicago high-rise where as of five o'clock

that Friday evening he used to work. While today had

been his last day on the job for Corgan Architectural

Group, he still had unfinished business to resolve. If

Seifer Almasy was game for the provocative seduction he

had in mind, tonight they'd take a foray into the

forbidden.

Biting his lower lip, he absently slid a black silk

scarf through his slender fingers, the texture cool,

sleek, and highly seductive to his senses. Especially

when he thought about what he planned to do with the

scrap of material. Would Seifer find his erotic request

equally as stimulating and agree to be his for one

night only? Or would he refuse and send him on his way,

leaving this deep, consuming craving he'd developed for

him unfulfilled?

There was no denying the chemistry and attraction

between them that had grown stronger and hotter over the

past few months. They'd indulged in a sexy but harmless

office flirtation, but he'd been the one to turn down

two separate invitations to join him for dinner in order

to keep their relationship from developing into anything

more serious.

His career came first. Always had, always would. Which

was why he'd accepted a very generous offer to head up

the restoration division at another architectural firm.

The new firm provided a better position, more money, and

plenty of opportunity to advance within the company. At

28 years of age, security and total independence were

within his grasp.

But before he immersed himself in his new job, he

wanted an unforgettable night with the one man who

attracted him like no other.

The elevator came to a gliding stop, and with a soft

"ping" the doors slid open into a luxurious reception

area, quiet and empty now except for the soft glow of

light illuminating the corridors leading to two separate

wings of the firm. Taking off his shoes and leaving them

by the bank of elevators to slip back on later, he

headed left and silently made his way down the hall

toward Seifer's office.

At a quarter to eight, all the rooms were dark and

empty, except for the one at the very end of the

corridor. He'd been counting on his late-night work

habits to act in his favor, and he'd been giddy with

relief when he'd seen his Lexus in the parking

structure below. One obstacle had been cleared, but

another still remained.

He stood in the doorway to his office, his heart

beating hard and fast in his chest, the scarf clenched

tight in his fist. He sat across the room on a stool in

front of his drafting table, his concentration focused

on the set of blueprints opened on the surface. Soft

rock music played from the stereo he'd had installed,

which would help to drown out any noise he might make

as he approached him from behind.
