"OK Mr. Vice president, tell me something about yourself that no one would ever know, and make it juicy" She said pointing a finger at him. He chuckled and broke her gaze. Shaking his head he looked into her eyes, suddenly very serious. She backed up a little noticing his change of mood. 'Had she said something wrong?' She searched his eyes waiting for him to drop the bomb. He stared at her intently keeping his eyes focused and slowly he reached for her hand across the table. He grasped it tightly and smiled inwardly as he noticed her nervously gulp.
"If I tell you, you have to swear you'll never tell anyone"
His voice was low and steady and his eyes searched hers for an answer. She lightly shook her head fearing whatever it was he was about to say. "I...I don't really know how to say this. I'm.I'm a women." He quickly broke her gaze and let out a long breath. Chloe gasped and leaned back a little bringing one hand to her mouth keeping the other in his. He looked up slightly, trying to read her faze. His cool façade quickly vanished at her priceless look.
"Chloe, Chloe I'm kidding" he said chuckling full out now and giving her hand a gentle squeeze. Still laughing he looked back up to her and her expression hadn't changed. "You actually believed I was a woman?!" he said smiling but a little shot down. The steely gaze and straight line of her mouth was done for. She started laughing as well and hit him in the shoulder lightly
"You Punk"

"Well Mr. Black I had a most enjoyable lunch, surprisingly." Chloe said with a smile.
"Wow, I am almost offended" he laughed as they walked into the office together.
He saw her start towards her office and for some reason her didn't want her to go. He felt like their should be more and before he knew it he was calling her name.
"Hey Chloe" he called to her lightly. He didn't want to attract any of the office staff. Lord knows news would be out in minutes that the V.P's newest catch was none other than his newest secretary, and he didn't want Chloe thinking that.
She stopped and turned a little confused. He walked over toward her, resting a hand on the small of her back as he ushered into his office a little ways down the hall. The pretty strawberry-blonde receptionist had eyes like a hawk as she stalked her prey from behind her desk, watching the interesting scene between her boss and her co-worker.
Chloe felt the warmth of his hand as it rested easily on the small of her back. It was oddly comforting. She wondered what he had to talk to her about, and then something came to her. 'He wants to tell me not to say anything about their lunch.' Her eyes widened at this new thought. It kind of saddened her. Then she let out a bitter smile, 'Duh Chloe, You really think he would want people to know we had lunch together? A high class executive with his frumpy secretary who had a child no less.Not a chance, but then again he did go to a public place. Hmm.something was up' she thought.
Once in the confines of his large office he turned and placed a hand on his hip inside his suit jacket. He looked at her as if he was trying to find the right words. Chloe sighed and held her hands up to stop him. She closed her eyes and said "It's OK. I understand. You don't want people to know we went for lunch together. Don't worry I'm not going to tell anyone" She opened her eyes to look at him dryly.
"What?" he asked completely taken aback. Did she actually think it was like that? He sighed at looked down. This wasn't going to be easy, but for some reason his anger was getting the better of him. "You actually think I would that? You've been working for me now what four months. I thought we were at least friends by now."
Slightly stunned she turned her head to look at him from an angle "Well, What am I supposed to think? I know what this is Brady, I'm not stupid." OK now where had it went wrong. Maybe she had came across a little harsh, but still. She knew what this would soon turn out to be, and she didn't want that. She didn't want to be his little affair to fling around with in the corners, and then dump whenever. She wasn't like that and just thinking about it made her blood boil.
"If you need anything Mr. Black I'll be in my office" she said in a cold tone. She stood tall with her head high as she pranced out the door of his office, but never got there. Her damn high heel shoe that had been giving her trouble all day stuck into the plush crimson carpet, and before she knew it she was being thrown forward. Getting the feeling of déjà vu she tried to get her bearings but only continued to fall.
"Are you hurt?" his soft, concerned tone rang threw her ears. A little dazed she looked at her hands that were pressed firm against his silk shirt. She could smell the scent of him all around her and she could feel the beat of his heart. She traveled up his muscled chest to look into his crystal eyes. Again for the umpteenth time today did she feel embarrassed, but as she attempted to move away his hands grasped hers over his chest. She was so close to him he could feel her erratic breath pant against his lips. Her scent was driving him insane and he knew his reaction to her would be pretty clear to any eye. He looked into her large blue eyes with a new emotion. An emotion that made her stomach burn and her face flush. She read lust in his eyes and her previous statement of being used was quickly being forgotten.
"Chloe." He breathed huskily against her lips. She could feel herself moving closer to him. "Yes." She whispered back eyeing his lips and standing on her tip toes. "I think you're OK"
She shook her head to clear the images of him pushing her up against the desk roughly and ripping at her clothes as her ravaged her mouth and.and well you get the picture. The feelings this man could bring out in her were definitely not healthy especially to someone like her. She stood up and wiped invisible sweat from her forehead. "I'll -be- in -my- office." she replied slowly, starting to make space in between them. As soon as the door was closed he leaned against it and let out a long breath. He looked up "That woman will be the death of me" he replied gruffly pulling at his tie. "And to think all I wanted to do was ask her on a date".
