wasn’t like I begged him for a date. He would ask me to be ready and then ditch me. Men are dogs. No, wait dogs are so much better. Men are swine. On a second note, I think even swine are better than men. Anyone would be,” she said angrily to herself and just then she turned around to find Ashton waiting for her with a beautiful bouquet in hand and smiling at her.
    “How did you get into my room? I mean I am sure I had locked my apartment,” Lisa stuttered as she clearly didn’t expect her boss to hear her long run of slangs and insults.
    “You look so hot. Why didn’t I get the chance to see you like this before? And darling damsel in distress, you need some lesson on security and safety. You kept the key to your door hanging outside. Anyone could break into the house of the sexy lady and do a lot of damage,” Ashton whispered in her ears right before stealing the perfect kiss.
    The kiss was everything both of them wanted. She had put on her strawberry red lipstick and Ashton could feel the essence of ripe strawberries in his mouth.
    He knew that Lisa was definitely sexy, but never before had he seen her so hot and he had to try really hard to keep his hands off her.
    “Oh damn! How am I going to control myself? Lisa, I have been meaning to do this for a very long time now,” he said and Lisa could see how his voice got husky and it turned her on too.
    “Weren’t we supposed to be heading somewhere? I mean as much as I like to kiss you and being kissed, but I really cannot go to an event with tousled hair and the look that says that I definitely got laid,” Lisa giggled as she expressed her concern.
    “We are going to make a quick hit to the NYC ball event for corporate biggies but I have no plans to be social tonight. We will leave from the ball in fifteen minutes sharp and tonight, I am going to take you at my home. Do you agree? I hope you won’t say no,” Ashton said and made a puppy face which as so cute that Lisa literally melted right there.
    They both kissed one more time and were all set to head to the party no one was interested in.
    “Did I tell you, Lisa, that you look breathless in this attire? I mean, you have always been beautiful, I always knew that but today you are making me ache in a way I have never craved for anything before.”
    “Since when did you get so romantic or was it one of your split personality shades you chose to conveniently hide?”
    Ashton smiled as he knew that it was Lisa alone who could talk to him like this. He had always been a strict disciplinarian and he wanted to find that one person who could see through his shield and find the soft hearted guy who wanted to simply unwind and relax. There was something about Lisa Catcher that made him crazy about her.
    She wasn’t the most beautiful woman ever, but she was Lisa and that was enough. Ashton knew that he was not in a position to date anyone and he knew the perils all too well.
    The moment his secret would be out, it would lead him to danger and he also knew that he came with a curse and he was on the run. There were too many troubles in his life already and he didn’t know how to handle them. Love, women and dating were complications he didn’t want to indulge in anymore because his life sucked the way it already was and he would need an eternity to sort to the mess he was stuck in.
    “What are you thinking so hard, Ashton?” Lisa asked after she had relaxed and was comfortable enough to be at ease with him.
    “Just some shit!”
    “Wow! You are taking me on a date and thinking about just some shit! Impressive, different but impressive,” she made a satirical remark and Ashton knew it would be one of the toughest night he ever had. He had always had a thing for Lisa, but he had managed to stay strong and hadn’t succumbed to his temptation. He knew he was perilously close to making that one mistake which may ruin everything.
    “What if I am not who you think me to be? What if I am someone you can’t even
