been pushing her to use her vacation days, claiming that it was messing up accounting somehow. But since she hadn't had the money, she'd never found a use for them.
As she began to type, her eyes floated back to the pictures of Sadiq. Perhaps it would be better if she finished the job before she asked for a few days off.

"I am glad you were able to take the time off of work," Sadiq said as they settled into the limo later that day.
"Me too." She smiled. "I had a lot of unused vacation days."
Grateful that she had chosen to spend her valuable vacation days with him, he was tempted to say thank you, but wasn't sure if she would understand. He hadn't been able to stop thinking about her since dropping her off yesterday.
Images of how their night would've ended up if he hadn't called Rishi back tormented him all night. He'd have invited her to his apartment and slipped that black dress off of her as he tasted every inch of her. And those sweet lips of hers would've moaned his name over and over as she clutched his back for support as he moved in and out of her.
Groaning inwardly, he was tempted to pull her into his arms right now, but was worried he wouldn't be able to stop himself by the time they got to the airport.
Besides, as soon as she got on the jet and they were safe in the sky, she was his.
His lips twitched.
It seemed almost too good to be true. He meets the woman of his dreams and through some miraculous way, she'd agreed to accompany him back to Atal, where he could keep her indefinitely.
Chapter Four
A sudden heat enveloped Jenny as she stepped out of the jet almost twelve hours later.
Used to the winter cold, she welcomed the delicious contrast as she walked down the stairs. From the jet, she'd seen several skyscrapers and a beautiful, sparkling ocean and was excited to see them all up close.
Her heart dropped when she spotted two limos waiting. Was Sadiq leaving her so soon?
She'd thought that they would, at least, spend the afternoon settling in together. But considering how busy he'd been on the jet, she should've known that he had more pressing things to do.
But as soon as they reached the end of the stairs, his assistant said his goodbyes and walked into the first limo.
Sadiq directed her towards the other limo. "Rishi will helping my father's aides. Things have been hectic since the heart attack."
"Do you need to be there as well?" Though she wanted to spend time with him, she didn't want to keep him from his duties either.
"No. I have to see my father first."
She winced. Of course he did.
"Did you get any sleep?" she asked as they stepped into the limo.
He'd told her to sleep on jet, because it would be morning when they arrived, but she hadn't seen him sleep. He'd been glued to his laptop the whole time. He smiled softly. "A little."
A few minutes later, she was surprised by all the trucks on the highway. "What do you manufacture in Atal?"
"Not chocolate, if that's what you're thinking."
Heat rose in her cheeks and she groaned inwardly. Somehow, he made her feel as if she was a teenager with her first crush.
"Remind me to bring you to the chocolate factory in Brussels when we get back. We make the best pralines." Her heart fluttered at the thought of them continuing their relationship when they got back, but she knew better than to count on it. Relationships like these never lasted for long. It would end before she knew it, leaving her with only memories and possibly chocolate, if it lasted long enough.
"Atal doesn't really manufacture anything. Most of those trucks contain merchandise of our neighboring countries who use us as a port to Europe."
"I remember reading about your oil rigs in school."
He nodded. "We still have them pumping in small quantities, but our output is nowhere near the levels that they'd been in the early 1900s."
After a pike in the road, they turned, leaving the fleet of trucks behind them. Glad that her view was free again, she looked out of
