job!”
    “ Thanks” Lily was happy to connect with Alec
    “ You know, in business things are never stable. So don’t worry about it. I am sure you will figure this out with time”. The chips were down and Lily welcomed the encouragement.
    “And, if that’s the motive, then I’m sure you will work hard” He smiled at her, a smile that sent chills down her spine.
    “Yes, I will.”
    “Also, I know you can write, and I need a ton of proposals written, so we could use your skills. Remember that English paper?” He smiled and winked at her.
    A wave of accomplishment washed over her. She had in fact remembered that paper. It was their freshmen year in school and Alec had come to her with a very large English paper on a book that he had failed to read. It was always like Alec to put away the important things until they came back to bite him. They had spent the entire night going over the book, one of Lily’s favorites, and writing the paper. He had gotten an A on it, and neither of them could have been happier.
    Lily stared at the man across from her. She wished that she knew what was going through his mind, but she could only guess. Alec had a few more questions that he needed to ask to officially complete the interview.
    Between interview questions, Lily would catch Alec's strong gaze. She would meet his stare back, but it would be broken soon enough as the tension set in. Both tried to remain professional and cool, but each had their own failing moments as they took in each other’s view.
    Lily had to fight the desire to ask him all of the questions that came to her mind, none of them involving any work as a secretary. Suddenly, she had craved to know the man that she had left so long ago. She wanted to learn about the person that he had become after she said her goodbyes.
    "Do you think our past will affect your job performance?" Alec asked, the question stunning her. She had to stagger her answer as she spoke.
    "Of course not." She said, not willing to flutter around the question.

She focused her eyes onto his lapel, and the way that it kissed his muscular neck. She wished that she could be the one stealing kisses, and coaxing goose bumps from him. She found little encouragement to subdue her desires, yet she still managed to as she brushed her hand against her milky thigh.
    "I would be happy to give you the job." He said, forcing her to crash from her mental caress into reality.
    "Excuse me?" Lily asked, feeling her own eyes sweep his face for a hint of humor, but found none.
    "I know how you work Lilly. As far as I'm concerned, I think that you'd be a great asset for team. What do you say?" Alec asked.

"Of course!" Lilly said as she stood.
    Now, the only thing that she could possibly give way to was the fact that her bookshop would be saved. Sure, she and Holly would have to make it work, but they would. She knew her sister would do whatever it took, and so would Lily.
    As she pulled away from Alec, she looked deep into the eyes of a man that had both enchanted and fascinated her. She felt the sly smile that crossed her lips, but bit it back and she thanked him.

    Lilly bit her lip as she sunk down into the office chair. Working for Alec had not been what she had anticipated. In fact, she had never worked so hard, or so desperately, in all of her life.

After she would get finished working about nine hours at the office, she would make her way to her book shop where Holly would begin to explain to her all that happened, and it would inevitably give her a long list of things that needed to be done that were out of her hands. Lily would then deal with the issues that the bookshop posed.
    Lily had yet to even stimulate her senses with Alec since being hired. He kept her busy, which had made her wither in exhaustion. Every moment of her day was taken up with work; and she had yet to reap the benefits. The debtors would bother her everyday but there was no sign of customers. She could see her dream slowly
