I Disclaim UA Chapter 8 Thank you for reviewing
Gazing out at the overcast sky through her windshield, her mind started to wander over the past three weeks working at Basic Black. The whirlwind of events that happened so fast had engulfed her in an endless sea of work. She had spent countless nights staying up memorizing every file, every document, and every client Belle had assigned to her. She made herself familiar with everything that happened day in and day out of Basic Black. She had acquired so much information over the past three weeks she didn't think there was room for even the little things such as a grocery list. The work was hard, yes, but the thing that bothered her the most wasn't the workload, oh no, it was that sexy machine she worked for.
Everyday she came to work his car, as usual, was already in the lot. She would go to her office, and every now and then he would satisfy his caffeine craving and order a coffee or two. However, sometimes while she was working, she saw him out of the corner of her eye, peeking into her office. His eyes just stared curiously at her for a moment, and then he was gone. His gaze made her so nervous sometimes, and one time she almost jumped, but now when she saw those two glowing blue dots out of the corner of her eye she just smiled to herself and made like she was busy. He made her feel self-conscious when his stare burned into her like he was seeing something she didn't want him to see. It was a little creepy but very erotic at the same time.
Christmas came and left and today something arrived that gave Chloe an extra pep in her step. She just about ran into Brady's office and gave him a giant kiss right smack on the lips, but unfortunately she just smiled all goofy-like to herself and placed the check in her pocket. Today she would definitely reconsider buying that cute little two bedroom apartment her and Mimi had scouted out a few weeks ago. As she picked Natalie up from school that day she almost squealed in delight and the young girl noticed her mother's overly joyous mood. Chloe decided that her and Natalie needed to do a little shopping, and so they did. Every store in the mall they could find, they were going for broke. Chloe felt like she was dancing in the clouds, and she was happy to hear Natalie's excitement as well. She bought Natalie all those cute little outfits she had been fawning over every time Mimi brought over her magazines. She had even picked out a few attractive pieces for herself. As she kissed her daughter's cheek that night and pulled the covers up and over her small sleeping form she smiled to herself. She kept the smile on her face as she began remembering Natalie's face when she saw their new place of residence.
When Chloe had gone to purchase the apartment earlier that day she had been a little sad to find it already sold, but Mimi had shown her the cutest little two story, two bedroom cottage not far away, and so she made the purchase. Chloe went to her bedroom and got into bed. Today she really felt accomplished, like she had given Natalie something, and that she was truly a good mother. Over the past two years she had always felt guilty that Natalie wouldn't grow up like she should, and it made her sad to think her daughter would have to suffer for the hardships she created for herself. As she turned her light out and fell back into her pillows a strange, overwhelming since of loneliness plagued her. Even though she had felt good about making Natalie smile and giving her those few extra luxuries, she still had not given her something even she, herself, wanted more than anything in the world. She had not found that someone to fill the void in her heart. To be there for the holidays her and Natalie spent together alone or the father daughter days Natalie would have at school, or even a family trip to the zoo. Finally as the night grew darker her mind shutdown and her eyes closed.
The next morning she pulled up to her usual spot and knew today that Belle had finally left. From now on she would be completely alone and in charge. Arriving to her desk she immediately went to work arranging some files Brady had left there the night before. About an hour into her usual tasks, she found it odd that Brady hadn't ordered his usual early morning cup of coffee. She wondered if he was simply waiting on it, like she should already know he wanted coffee. She quickly prepared a tray and proceeded toward Brady's office. After a knock she went in, but the sight before her was definitely something she wasn't prepared for.
He had never left the office. His face was planted right smack on a file in front of his desk. "Mr. Black?" Chloe asked hesitantly, not sure if she should wake him up or not. The light snore abruptly ended as he lifted his head groggily and his blurred eyes opened up to focus on the pretty image in front of him. Chloe's eyes had grown large and her mouth went dry as his state of restlessness finally overwhelmed her and she took notice of his discarded suit jacket lying haphazardly on the floor. His tie was thrown to the ground as well, and the first couple buttons of his shirt had simply came undone and the deliciously, tanned, severely muscled chest peaked through. This man was definitely trying to kill her. As if it wasn't enough she had to see him all decked out in his suit looking perfectly 'GQ' and sexy enough to ravage right there in the office, oh no, he just got sexier.
This overwhelming sense of desire that had started to eat at her ever since she had seen him was starting to make her think awful, dirty things she hated herself for thinking. His disheveled appearance made her bite her lip thinking he would look similar after a night with her sexually unsatisfied self. As time slowed and the image burned into her mind she went back to her time talking with a friendly red head, Melody, in accounting. "Oh you'll see, that fast car goes equally fast with glamorous women. He has a love em' leave em' work comes first kind of attitude. But don't be fooled my dear, Brady Black doesn't fancy the dumb blonde type, oh no, he definitely needs an intellectually stimulating kind a girl. I mean take one look at the man and women just find him irresistible" the English woman gushed.
Now she looked at him still staring at her with different eyes. He was caught off guard, his usual wall of ice was not up yet and she could tell. She could actually see him. She was like a greedy child trying to get all the candy before it was taken away. His office persona was not in motion and she actually had the chance to see this new, fresh, utterly raw state of holding nothing back. "Geez.What time is it?" he asked groggily wiping his eyes and blinking a few times at her. His eyes had been faded with a distinct sexy bedroom quality any woman would faint upon. "I..It's eight thirty" was all Chloe managed to get out before her hormones started to make her do things she was trying hard not do. He looked her up and down then stopped at the tray of coffee. "Coffee..You're an angel," he said as he reached for a warm cup off the tray. He took a quick sip then leaned back in his chair. He stretched his arms up and over his head, making a couple of groans while he was at it, before brushing a hand through his unruly hair.
"I've been here most of the weekend. The Clarkson deal fell through and I needed some quality time." "Of course" she said with a nod. She had hoped that was what he wanted from her. Was she supposed to start up conversation or just leave? God this is definitely one of those times she wished Belle were here. As nervous as she was she just set the tray of biscuits and coffee on the desk, hoping her face was it's normal color. "But not to worry, I have everything worked out" he said as he grabbed a couple of biscuits and inhaled them like a vacuum. "If you're really hungry I could get you a BLT" Chloe offered quietly. His eyes flashed up to her face in a split second. They twinkled there and a small smile came to his face.
"Don't tell me you could bring me BLT's in a moments notice Chloe?" Her eyebrow went up and an actual smile graced her lips as she noticed the remnants of biscuit crumbs covering his unshaven mouth. "As a matter a fact, I know a tiny place around the corner that make delicious BLT's" she said with a hint of sultriness. She couldn't believe the way her voice sounded when she said that. "Hmm..Well in that case why don't you run by and get me 6 BLT's" She smiled a second too long before she realized what she was supposed to be doing. "Coming right up Brady," she said as she shut the door to his office.
Fifteen minutes rolled around and again she found herself walking into Brady Black's office. Unfortunately upon her arrival she noticed a completely different Brady Black coming out of his customary extended bathroom. His body had been freshly washed and his hair looked a bit wet still. The smell of his cologne was about to be her undoing so she immediately closed her open mouth and set the tray down on his desk. "Well.6 delicious BLT's with about a pound of bacon each. Eat em' while they're hot" she said with as much enthusiasm she could muster. His mouth twitched in amusement as he reached for a sandwich. "You sound like my mother"
