McKenzie.”
    Those words doused me in cold water.  He’s my boss!  Shit.
    I hadn’ t even arrived at the office yet, and I’d already flirted with my boss, or rather, one of them.
    “Michael McKenzie , as in the McKenzie Brothers?  I mean as in McKenzie Holdings…. my boss,” tumbled out of my mouth almost incoherently.  Why me?
    “Yeah, t hat’s me.”  He looked about as happy as I did.
    “Oh.”  The elevator pinged and the doors slowly opened on the floor of the McKenzie Brothers Executive offices, where Mr Roberts had told me to meet him.
    I couldn ’t help but feel a huge disappointment that he was one of my bosses.  I really would have liked to get to know him better, and I didn’t mean with sex.  He was a really handsome man, tall with broad shoulders, slim torso, and the most amazing blue eyes.  When he looked into mine, I sensed a yearning, for what, I wasn’t sure, but something was there, other than attraction.  A connection.
    I heard a throat being cleared and pulled myself together enough to step out of the elevator in front of Michael McKenzie to greet Mr Roberts.  He looked from me to his boss with curiosity in his eyes.
    “Ah , Lily. You’ve met Michael McKenzie, I take it?” he asked with his eyes focused on me.
    “Yes, we’ ve met.  Let’s go to my office,” Michael replied to a startled Mr Roberts.  He didn’t sound too impressed either.  After a brief look in my direction, Michael started to walk toward the glass door, which I presumed led to the inner sanctum.
    I followed both Michael and Mr Roberts along the corridor and tried not to wobble over in my heels. The carpet was so thick, like sponge.  I would have loved to walk along there without my shoes, it would probably feel amazing.
    The offices were plush with no money having been spared on the executive floor.  I couldn’t help but wonder what the other floors looked like.  The art on the walls looked like originals, at least I thought they did.  In all honesty, I wouldn’t know a Picasso from a Rembrandt.  I wasn’t sure where all the paperwork was stored, as the furniture was minimum, but expensive by the look of things.
    I didn ’t know if I was ready to work for McKenzie.  Within a week my work space would probably be a complete and utter mess.  I wasn’t the tidiest of people.
    Following Michael into his office felt like I was walking straight into the lions den.
    Michael had set his briefcase on the table and pulled a handful of documents out, before moving it to the floor.
    “Dale, here are the papers yo u left last night.  I’ve signed them, so you’re good to go.  Thank you for seeing to Lily, but I can take it from here,” he told Mr. Roberts who looked flustered.
    Not sure what that was about.
    “Okay , Michael.” He turned to me.  “I’ll talk to you later, Lily.”  He quickly walked out of the office and once again I was left alone with the very hot Michael McKenzie.

Chapter 4
    ~~ MICHAEL ~~
    While I le d Lily and Dale to my office, I’d hoped to get my libido and disappointment under control.  I was an idiot for not realizing in the lobby who she was.  I’d only this morning been thinking about having a new assistant and the assurance from Dale that she was perfect and the ideal choice.  After seeing the look on Dale’s face when he’d realized we’d already met,  it made me wonder whether or not Dale had an ulterior motive as to employing Lily.
    I walked across my office to my desk, quickly retrieved the papers for Dale, then placed my briefcase near the coat rack and took a seat, hoping to hide the evidence of my arousal.  My brothers, especially Sebastian, would have a field day if they knew I’d reacted like I had to my new bloody assistant.  I never reacted to a woman, unless I wanted to – so this was damn annoying.
    On ce Dale left, I just watched her fidget.  She was nervous and I wasn’t surprised after the heat that pulsated between us in the
