after work?"
    That one sentence changed my entire life. Sabrina went from being just an assistant to truly having meaning in my life.  I finagled ways to spend time with her and made it seem casual.  Concert tickets, movie outings and dinners, I pulled her into my life.  Five weeks after she started as my assistant, I introduced her to my family. 
    While I knew that I wasn't the type of guy that she should wind up with, I selfishly monopolized her time so that dating wasn't really an option for her.  I tried to tell myself that we were just friends and that was all that we would ever be.  I knew better than to cross the line, and I didn't intend to, but I couldn't stop myself from spending time with her.
     

Chapter Three
     
    Every day it got harder to be around Sabrina, and every day I found another excuse to spend more time with her instead of less.  Our lives were woven together seamlessly, and interestingly enough, it was almost all of my doing.
    I'd even stopped looking for those meaningless exchanges that passed as relationships in my life.  I'd always thought that the girls I spent time with were vapid and ridiculous, and frankl y, that's why I'd chosen them.
    I realized how pathetic of an excuse for real women the people I'd spent a lifetime choosing were the day the last one I'd been with turned up in my office.  I'm not sure what Tammy was thinking when she'd showed up at my office, but as soon as I saw her and Sabrina in the same room, I was done.  The difference between the two of them was like night and day, and I saw things in a completely new way. 
    I knew that I was rude when I told Tammy to get out, but I hadn't cared.  I didn't want her anywhere near Sabrina, didn't want Rina tainted by women like Tammy.  I decided then and there that I needed a break from the type of girls that I'd been having sex with for years, but somehow instead of just taking a break, I'd stopped having sex altogether. 
    Damien and Spencer hardly knew what to do with me.  My lack of sexual activity stunned them.  If I'm honest, it stunned me too.   I had a very high sex drive and I enjoyed fucking.  Always had, always would.  But for months I'd not found anyone attractive enough to bother expending the effort.  The only woman I saw, the only one I was attracted to, was Sabrina Tyler.  For her, I got hard instantly and often.  If she knew that I went home every night and jerked off thinking about her, she'd be stunned.
    Sabrina had been acting differently for a few weeks and it was really getting to me. She wasn't turning up for our morning workouts, she was busy a lot of the time and she was losing weight to beat the band.  I was worried, even though she hadn't done or said anything that made me think that she was on drugs or ill or anything like that.  Still, whatever she was doing, she wasn't talking to me about it, and it bothered me. The final straw had come Sunday night when she didn't turn up to family dinner at my house.  She'd told me at the end of last week that she might not be able to make the dinner, but I'd hoped she would be there anyway.  When Brooke told me she was out with some guy, I almost stroked out.  No one had ever gotten under my skin before, but suddenly, I was jealous.  Really jealous, something huge that took over my whole body. 
    I'd decided that I was going to talk to her about what was going on with her.  I needed to know what the hell was going on.  I'd gone to work that morning ready to talk to her about what was going on, but she was late, and that was unusual.  It was also cause for alarm, because for over a year she'd never been late, but now she was late for the second time in as many weeks.  It was very unusual behavior for Sabrina, and it worried me. I wasn't sure why I felt threatened, even a bit scared, but I did.
    The minutes ticked by with no signs of her.  I waited, and then waited some more, but still she hadn't arrived.  The first time she'd been late had
