Chapter 3

An Introduction: Part One

"We meet again." He said smiling while admiring her with his eyes, she felt a rush of cool air flow over her body and goosebumps began form on her exposed skin.

"Seems as such, you must be here to meet with Mr. Rashad. He's requested I have you meet him in the conference room, if you'll follow me." Mercedes said before standing and showing him the way, she could feel his eyes on her and even though he wasn't close she felt the heat radiating off of his presence. She opened the door allowing him to enter and couldn't help the sharp intake of air she made when he brushed against her body even though she created enough space for him to enter.

"Can I get your coffee order?" She asked after a moment, he turned and looked at her intently giving her a chance to really look at the strange man. He was tall with broad shoulders, his biceps though covered in his suit looked well defined and his stomach looked defined as well. She looked at the fine details of his face admiring his chiseled jaw, piercing green eyes and full pink lips unconsciously biting her own when the thought about how soft they felt on her shoulder reentered her mind.

"Ahem." She heard taking her from her gawking, when her eyes met his she could see a hint of amusement in his along with them now a darker shade than they were moments ago.

"Sorry, umm coffee order?" She asked again feeling herself blushing and when he moved towards her she moved back slightly before being stopped by his arm wrapping around her waist. Instead of pulling her to him, he moved in closer closing the invisible barrier invading her personal space and surrounding her with his scent that immediately made her hot all over.

"I don't want any coffee but there is something I'd like instead." He replied his voice laced with lust that made her want to give him whatever he want in that moment.

"W-we have tea, water and soda I can get you." Mercedes said breathing deeply trying to control her heaving chest as he began lean in moving his head to the side right by her ear.

"I don't want that either, I want something only you can give me.. a special kind of nectar that is uniquely yours." He whispered in her ear pressing his body into hers smirking when her eyes grew slightly when she felt his erection.

"I-i, umm. Umm-"

"You flustered is very sexy, tell me are you willing to quench my thirst?" He asked brushing his lips along her neck before placing a soft kiss and pulling away with a side smirk when she let out a deep groan.

"Jones, why didn't you tell me he was here?" Anthony said giving her an annoyed look but Mercedes didn't even register his annoyance because her whole body was on fire and her mind was complete mush.

"Jones!" Anthony said snapping a finger at her making her jump slightly.

"Huh? Oh… I'm sorry I was getting his drink order and was going to come get you right after." She explained surely knowing that he noticed she was a bit breathless. She composed herself as best she could before leaving to grab his coffee and the snacks he requested, she went to the rest room first to cool off a little and get her senses about herself. That was the second time she allowed the same man who's name she didn't know to touch and kiss her and she couldn't understand why she wasn't able to think let alone act when he was near her.

She wet a paper towel and placed it on the back of her neck taking deep breaths but it was all she could do without shoving her hands in between her thighs and relieve the ache he cause yet again. She the thought of him being the one to relieve it was making her wet, well more than she already was and damnit if his cologne didn't stick to her like a constant reminder of something she was never getting. Though he seemed very interested in making her his… drink of the day but she knew she was far to shy to make a move like that and would have to just deal with the ache just a little while longer.

She washed her hands and straightened her self up before gathering the drinks and snacks, she made herself a promise to just do her job and leave her insane attraction at the door. She walked in avoiding his eye contact placing down the tray of snack and grabbing Anthony's coffee handing it to him before grabbing a bottle of water and started to place it in front of the gentleman. She made the mistake of making eye contact and watched as he rose an eyebrow at her and grabbed the hand that was holding the water bottle sending streams of electricity through out her body.

"Thank you, this should suffice for now." He said winking at her making her shudder and slowly back away.

"Alright Jones, make sure all my calls are held and in about three hours order us some lunch. Close the door on your way out as well." Anthony said looking at the both of them with hardened expression.

Mercedes nodded giving them both a smile before leaving and as she closed the door she saw that he was looking at her again with and shot her sideways smirk that made her take in a deep breath before she closed the door and hurried to her desk, squeezing her thighs together to ease the ache that was back with a vengeance. She suddenly felt hot all over and unbutton her blouse a little fanning herself and taking deep breaths before she starting random tasks to keep her mind occupied.

When she looked up three hours had come and gone by, she got up from her desk putting her shoes that she had taken off and went to the conference room to get their lunch orders. She knocked before entering and stood there noticing that both men were looking at her intensely and she wondered why before realizing she hadn't buttoned her shirt back up and she looked down seeing that her bra was now visible. She quickly turned and buttoned it back up cursing herself for not realizing that before walking in, she turned with an embarrassed smile.

"Umm.. I came to get your lunch orders." She said a bit shaky and she could tell she was blushing from her embarrassment.

"A few subs from the deli, my usual order will do." Anthony said still looking at her intensely and she shifted slightly uncomfortable with the attention so she just smiled turning to leave to place the order.

"Have you eaten?" She heard and stopped knowing it wasn't Anthony that asked because he never cared if she had or hadn't.

"No, but I'll be-"

"Come here please." Mercedes hesitated for a moment before walking closer stopping beside him watching him as he wrote something down before looking up at her with a warm smile.

"Go here, give this to the host and enjoy the rest of your day. There's no reason for you to be holed up with us waiting for Anthony to make you do some asinine task." Sam said handing her the piece of paper. Mercedes looked at him for a moment before looking at Anthony who looked pissed and she started to say something when Sam stood and placed his hand on the small of her back walking her to the door.

"Don't worry darlin', he'll get over it." He said giving her a smile and winking at her before going back into the room. She stood there for a moment before Anthony walked out and told her to enjoy the rest of her weekend off.

…

Mercedes arrived at the restaurant and felt immediately under dressed, she smoothed down her pencil skirt and adjusted her blouse so she looked more presentable than she felt, when she walked inside she was greeted by an older woman who gave her a warm smile.

"Hello welcome to Elizabeth's! Do you have a reservation?" She asked and Mercedes froze unaware that she would need one and quickly grabbed the piece of paper and looking at it only seeing an address before turning it over seeing more was written but instead of reading it she just handed it to the woman.

"I was told to give you this..." She said nervously but fully prepared to leave if she needed.

"Ah.. Ms. Jones, yes if you will just follow me." The woman said nodding before walking towards the dinning area then out the back to the courtyard and motioned for her to sit.

The entire place was beautiful with old Victorian decorations, the table she was sitting at had a thick white tablecloth and small floral arrangement and a candle as the centerpiece. The courtyard was clean and with many other tables with the same décor, their were places you could just sit and be along with a birdbath in the center.

"I'll be taking care of you personally, my name is Carol and I'll be right back with some wine for you." Carol said after Mercedes sat down.

"Oh, I'm driving and don't really-"

"A ride has been arranged for you so you can have wine." Carol said before walking away leaving Mercedes confused. She wasn't sure how to let Carol know she drove herself and didn't want to leave her car but when she came back with two men with her she waited to tell her privately.

"Here we have an Italian Chianti, a very dry, medium-bodied, moderately tannic wine with lovely tart-cherry flavor, mainly from Sangiovese grapes grown in the Chianti area of Tuscany." Carol said before pouring her some into her glass and stepping back while one of them presented a plate of food in front of her and she shot him a confused look.

"Oh I haven't ordered anything yet… or seen a menu at that." Mercedes said worried they'd accidentally given her someone else's food.

"This is for you, we have creamy sage grits cake with local shiitake and oyster mushrooms with country ham and oven reduced tomatoes. Please enjoy your appetizer and wine Ms. Jones and I'll be back to check on you along with you entree." Carol said walking away as the second man placed silverware and a glass a water for smiling then walking away.

Mercedes looked down at the food and inhaled all the rich smells shrugging before taking a bite and groaning at fusion of different flavors that exploded in her mouth. She decided to at least try the wine since she wasn't a big drinker but she enjoyed how the wine tasted and once she finished her appetizer, Carol came out with her entree as promised and other wine for her to have along with it.

She was given double cut Berkshire pork chop with five cheese macaroni and apple-radicchio slaw and the wine was a Moscato d'Asti a sparkling white wine that was sweet and low in alcohol. Much like the appetizer she couldn't help but moan again when she tasted the pork chops and slaw, she enjoyed the wine a lot more because it was lighter and slightly sweeter and again after she finished Carol was there again time with their house made Sorbet that was served on a crisp meringue shell with fresh fruit and fruit sauce.

"Enjoy!" Carol said smiling and walking away, Mercedes had to admit this meal she had was absolutely amazing and she really enjoyed getting to sit outside in peace, she would've brought a book to read to keep her company but this was just as relaxing. She ate a little of the sorbet groaning and closing her eyes making a mental note to comeback here again with her friends just for it alone.

"Mhm.. I was just wondering how you sounded when you moaned." Mercedes eyes opened and she felt herself blushing, she moved so quickly that she knocked over her water spilling it over her blouse.

"Oh, I didn't know you were here." She said biting her lip and dabbing her shirt with the cloth napkin.

"I just arrived, I wanted to see how you enjoyed your meal and based off that moan I say you very much enjoyed it." Sam said with a small smile that made shift slightly.

"I did, thank you again for suggesting this place…" Mercedes replied as he held her in an intense gaze.

"Ah, Mr. Evans. Good to see you again, would you like anything while you're here?" Carol asked smiling at them both.

Soooo... Sam has no chill and I love it. Their next encounter is... yeah until next time! XOXO
