The next morning I woke up with Sierra's foot in my face yet again. Annoyed I grab a pillow and hit her on the head resulting in her kicking my jaw.

"OWW Sierra, what the hell?!?!" I groan rubbing my now throbbing jaw.

"Maybe you shouldn't have been hitting me while I was asleep" she mumbles rubbing her eyes.

"Maybe you shouldn't have your foot in other people's faces" I bite back holding my jaw.

"Anyone who has the pleasure of having my foot near their face should feel blessed" she sasses back sitting up.

Groaning again, I get up and stomp towards the bathroom to get ready. Stripping off my pajamas, I hop into the shower allowing the hot water to relax my muscles. Grabbing the shampoo, I lather it in my hair before rinsing it out and doing the same with conditioner. Washing my body with my strawberry vanilla body wash, I make sure to shave wanting to wear a skirt today.

Getting out of the shower, I wrap a white towel around my body before brushing my teeth and walking back into my room. I glance at my bed to see Sierra no longer there meaning she was somewhere doing god knows what.

I walk into my closet and grab a pair of matching lacy white undergarments before browsing my closet for something to wear. After about five minutes, I finally decide on wearing a black lace top with straps and pairing it with a simple white skirt along with black pumps. I grab a long flowy creme colored cardigan to put on top just to feel a bit more covered.

For my hair I quickly blow dry it before letting it fall in its natural wave and move on to makeup. I go for just mascara and concealer adding  a bold burgundy lip for some color.

Deeming myself ready for the day, I walk downstairs to see Sierra in the kitchen making breakfast. Skipping to the kitchen, I head to the fridge to grab some creamer for my iced coffee that I'm addicted to. Sitting on one of the stools I put some scrambled eggs with some sausage on a plate before beginning to eat.

"What are you so dressed up for Mimi?" She asks with a knowing smirk using her nickname for me.

"This is how I always dress for work" I respond with a blush knowing she didn't believe me. With a nod and a wink she sits down as well piling some food on to her plate. 

After 15 minutes of us just eating and catching up, I stand up knowing I had to start heading to work if I wanted to be on time. Putting my dishes in the sink, I put on my heels and make my way to the door with purse in hand.

"We have to go shopping soon my dearie" Sierra says as she hugs me.

"Definitely, I'm running out of bras anyway" I reply with a giggle squeezing her back missing her warm embrace.

"Hit me up when you're not busy mija" she responds letting her Spanish accent come out as she spoke to me.

"Will do, I got to get going or my boss will have my ass" I respond opening the door.

"I'm sure you wouldn't mind" she winks effectively causing me to rush out of there to save myself the embarrassment. "Don't act like you wouldn't" she shouts at me as I flip her the bird to which she barks out laughing. Shaking my head, I get into the car and begin my journey to work. 

The drive there consists of me going over my plan to stay as far away from Mr. Stone as possible making sure to keep it professional. Pulling into the parking lot, I cut the engine before walking into the large building. Having already eaten, I make my way over to the elevator pressing the button and waiting for the doors to open. Stepping in, I begin to take deep breaths preparing myself to see my hunk of a boss.

When the doors open, I walk into his office to see Mr. Stone glaring at his laptop. He looks up to the sound of my clicking heels. I watch as his golden eyes look me up and down his gaze lingering on my legs.

Clearing my throat, I give him a curt nod before setting my things down on my desk. I take my cardigan off, hanging it on my chair before sitting down. The whole time I could feel a piercing gaze on my back and I had to refrain from turning around to meet his gaze.

"What would you like me to do today Mr. Stone" I ask slightly turning my head to address him.

"Get started on reorganizing my desk for me while I go grab a coffee" he demands as he gets up.

"I'll get right on it" I respond getting up as well and going over to his desk. I sit down in his chair to start organizing feeling his eyes watching my every move. Pretending I couldn't feel it, I continue to organize and I soon hear his retreating footsteps.

When I'm sure he's gone, I lean back in his chair trying to calm my shaky breath. It hasn't even been 20 minutes and avoiding him is becoming harder and harder. I've only been working here for like 2 months and I'm already catching feelings for my boss.

After the mini therapy session I had with myself, I began reorganizing the things on his desk making sure his pens and pencils were all in the small tin. I put his laptop in the center of his desk and put the stapler back by the pencils grabbing the folder with the files. Not realizing I grabbed it from the wrong end until it was too late, all the papers go flying to the ground causing me to groan.

"Shit" I whisper to myself before getting on my knees to start picking up the papers. As I'm crawling around grabbing papers, I hear footsteps coming closer to which I ignore. I continue to pick up the papers until they're all neatly back in their folder. I get up off the floor and turn my head to see Mr. Stone leaning against the door frame watching me.

"Oh Mr. Stone, how long have you been there?" I ask pretending I didn't hear his footsteps moments ago.

"Long enough to know you're clumsy as hell" he replies with a smirk before pushing off the door and closing it before walking towards me. Every step he took made my heart quicken but I kept my gaze on his shoes. I didn't even look up when I could feel his body heat and smell his cologne that assaulted my nostrils. It was getting harder for me to think with him at such a close proximity but I tried to calm myself the best I could.

Seconds past before I felt his soft but firm hand tilt my chin up until our eyes met. He stared intensely at me with his golden orbs as if trying to figure out my deepest darkest secrets and I stared back not forgetting about his hand still on my chin sending surges of heat where our skin met. He let go of my chin and I almost whimpered because of the lack of contact until I felt his hand quickly pull me closer to him until I crashed into his chest.

Not a sliver of space was between us, my hands the only thing keeping our chests from touching. I slowly trailed my eyes up his neck to his plump lips stopping momentarily before continuing my gaze upwards until our eyes met yet again. We continued to stare at each other until his voice disrupted the tense silence.

"To hell with it" he whispers huskily before bringing his lips down to crash against mine. He kisses me fiercely as I bring my hands up to hook around his neck. I felt his hands teasingly trail up and down my upper thigh before he pulls away from our heated kiss.

"Jump" he demands and I quickly jump feeling his firm but gentle grip on my ass to keep me up. Seconds pass before he smashes our lips together but this time running his tongue along my bottom lip asking for entrance. I hesitantly open my mouth and he doesn't waste the time to explore every inch of my mouth with his tongue. I bring my hands up to his hair to run my fingers through enjoying the softness.

I finally pull away leaning my forehead against his, both of us breathing heavily. He lets go of my bum and I slide down until my feet hit the ground before taking a few steps back so I could think.

"Your desk is organized sir" I say breaking the silence to which he snaps out of his little daze.

"Thank you Ms. Winters, you can take a 15 minute break" he replies his voice still husky. I nod with a smile before walking to my desk to grab my cardigan putting it on in the process.

Without another word, I begin walking towards the door before his voice calls me back.

"You will be mine Ms. Winters" he declares with an underlying promise to which I turn around to meet his gaze.

"We'll see Mr. Stone" I reply seductively adding a wink before turning around and strutting out making sure to add a little sway in my hips.

Once I'm fully out the door and hearing distance away from anyone I begin scolding myself out loud.

"Letting him shove his tongue down your throat is a great way to keep it professional Amelia" I whisper angrily to myself hitting the elevator button. Stepping inside, I lean against the bar closing my eyes and taking deep breaths. When I hear the doors open, I open my eyes and walk out deciding on spending my break walking around.

As I walked down a long corridor, my brain immediately went to thinking about Mr. Stone and the heated kiss we just shared. I wondered about why I couldn't keep it together around him and why I always felt the need to touch him.

Too consumed in my thoughts, I don't realize where I was until I could no longer recognize my surrounding. Stomping my heels a bit, I begin retracing my steps in hopes of finding my way back or stumbling across someone.

Ten minutes pass and I'm still unable to find my way back to the lobby and my break is already up. Huffing, I walk towards a wall before crouching down to sit leaning my head against my knees praying someone walked down this hallway and saw me.

"How the hell do you get lost at a place you've worked at for almost 3 months?" I question myself truly impressed at how much of an idiot I can be. Moments later I hear footsteps getting louder and louder until a tall man finally comes into view. Jumping up, I rush towards him to try and ask for directions.

"Excuse me sir, can you direct me on how I can get back to the lobby?" I ask

"Of course just take this hallway down and take a right" he replies warmly and I thank him before speed walking down the hall. Taking a right, I finally make it back to the lobby and I run to the elevator without breaking an ankle in my heels. Stepping inside, I pray to go Mr. Stone doesn't burst a vein for my tardiness. I make it back to his office and I walk in slightly out of breath from running.

"You're late Ms. Winters" he scolds slightly angry.

"I kinda got lost and couldn't find my way back so I sat against the wall hoping someone would come to the rescue until finally someone did and he really deserves a promotion for sensing when his co-workers are in need and coming to save the day" I rant until he cuts me off with a look of amusement.

"Just take these papers and make some copies for me" he replies handing me a folder. Nodding, I grab the folder before turning around until he speaks again.

"Oh and don't get lost this time" he teases with a smile to which I blush and walk out embarrassed. He barks out laughing and I shake my head continuing to make my way down to the copy room this time not getting lost.
