The first thing she sees is all of her stuff broken and Megan is taking to an officer. She sees Jennifer and there are tears running down her face.
“Jenny!” she runs to Jen and wraps her arms around her.
“Jennifer Cruz?” the same officer that was talking to her walks out to them.
“Yes sir.” She tucks her best friends head to her chest.
“Do you know who would have broken into your apartment?” Jennifer thinks for a second and shakes her head. “If you think of anything call me.” He hands her a business card.
“Oh Jenny, I’m so sorry.” Meg says against her chest.
“Meg you have nothing to be sorry for.” Meg lifts her head and moves away, as she does Phoenix walks in. “You and him?” Her blue eyes narrow on Jennifer.
“Umm, yeah.” Jennifer smiles and looks down. She still can’t believe she did what she did.
“Oh we need to talk later.” Megan turns her attention back to the beautiful Phoenix. His midnight blue eyes meet Jennifer’s and he smiles. Her mind remembers his lips tongue, and teeth exploring her. She can feel her panties getting damp.
Slowly Phoenix walks to Jennifer and Megan. “He is oozing sex.” Megan whispers and they giggle.
“Darling, are you going to be okay?”
“Yeah, thanks.” She doesn’t know what to do now.
Megan clears her throat, “I’m going to go and check my room. Jen if you need me just yell for me and I’m there.” She says and winks at Jennifer.
Jennifer watches her best friend walk out with a cute cop. She glances at Phoenix. “So I really don’t know what to do now.”
“Well, I’m not into relationships.” He says and crosses his arms against his large chest.
She glares at him. “So I’m good enough to fuck, but not to date?” She shocked him with what she said.
“I’m damaged, you wouldn’t want me.” He reaches out to touch her face, but she slaps his hand away.
“Whatever, I think you should leave.” He stares at her for a moment, and she thinks he might take her into his warm arms. But he doesn’t, he turns around and walks to the door.
He pauses at the door and looks over his shoulder at her. “I had another vision how tonight would end. Good bye darling.” He walks out of the door and shuts it.
Jennifer grabs the closest thing to her, a large book. She throws it at the now closed door. “Bastard!” Megan runs out of her room.
“What happened?” Jennifer tells her best friend about everything that happened.
Phoenix needs to get away from Jennifer. There is something new with that women, something that scares him. He picks up his phone there is only one person that will understand what is happening. He just fucking wishes that his father was here to help him through this. What kind of man leaves his child, and a woman that doesn't know what he'll be alone. He hasn't seen his mother since he was fifteen, she kicked him out as soon as he started showing what he was. She told him that he was a monster, and that she wishes he was dead. He moved in with is grandmother, and she is his mother. She doesn’t judge him because of what he is, and she was the one to figure it out.
He was seventeen and he nearly killed his girlfriend. Good thing his grandmother is into witchcraft, and she knew what was happening. He looks back down at his phone and smiles at his grandmother's face, she died three years ago. He misses her like crazy, and he promised himself that he would never fall in love with anyone. For one he would kill them over time, and he doesn't want to watch someone he loves die in front of him, and he can't do anything to help.
He finds the name he wants and presses call, and it only rings twice before he hears, “Hello.”
“Max, I’m in trouble.” Phoenix walks over to his car, and get's into it.
Max has been is best friend since collage. “Phoenix, what's going on? You sound desperate and you never sound desperate. Not even when Grandma Rose passed.” Phoenix slams his head on the steering wheel. He can see smell Jennifer, and he wants to run inside her apartment and take more of her.
Which is why he needs Max, he doesn't want to be the monster his mother claims he is. “I met someone and I don’t know how much longer I can stay away.”
Max doesn't say anything for a minute, and Phoenix knows he doesn’t have to say anything more. He'll know what he is talking about. “Where are you?”
He looks up at her apartment building. “Outside her apartment building.”
“Shit, Phoenix you need to get away from there. You know if you take a complete soul there is no going back. You will belong to him, and he won't let you go.”
There is a pain in his chest knowing that he'll never see Jennifer again. But he knows that this is best for both of them. “I can't go home, her scent is all over my house.”
“You have it that bad?” Max asks, and Phoenix doesn't say anything. “Well come over here.”
He takes a deep breath and regrets it. He can taste her and he groans. “I'm on my way.”
Chapter Two
Ten weeks later:
Jennifer runs to the bathroom, and nearly falls over the stupid rug. She quickly grabs her hair so when she throws up it doesn’t end up in it. She has been feeling like crap for a week now and she can’t get sick. Not now, she has a new job starting today. DuPont Industry where she will be a secretary/ PA for the boss. Mr. DuPont himself. He didn’t interview her; he had his VP do it. Mr. William Roberts and he was a flirt. She did try to look up her boss on the internet, but didn’t find anything. Which she thinks is weird he is rich and young and there isn’t a picture or anything.
Megan is sitting at the table drinking her coffee. “Ready for your first day?” Jennifer walks pass her and gags on the smell of her and the coffee.
“I don’t know, I can’t stop throwing up.” Jennifer sits across from her best friend.
Meg takes a drink of her coffee and smiles. “Maybe you’re nervous.” Jen knows she is, this is her first real job she has had. “You can call your dad and he will give you whatever you want.”
She knows her dad would buy her a company if she wants, but she wants to work her way up. Her mother died when she was a baby, she has the best stepmother. Cameo has been her mom and has been the one there for her. “I know, but I don’t want that.” She looks at the clock on the wall and sighs. She needs to leave now, in order to make it to work on time. “Well, have a good day being lazy.”
“Oh I will! I have a hot date with Netflix.”
Jennifer laughs and walks to her car. She closes her eyes for a few seconds and she images Phoenix. He was her first and only lover. She has been having very detailed dreams about him fucking and making love to her since the first time. When she runs her hands through his silky brown wavy hair it almost feels real. She starts her car and head to her new job.
She walks in the huge building and sees William. He greets her with a smile, and she returns it.
“Ms. Cruz.” His sweet voice says. He is attractive with is sandy blonde hair and hazel blue eyes. He is about four inches taller than her.
“Mr. Roberts.” She gives her sweetest smile.
“Let me bring you to Mr. DuPont office. He wants to meet you and he is running late.” He places his hand on the middle of her back and leads her to the elevator.
“So, is he nice to work for?” she looks at him.
He smiles and laughs. “Yes, but he doesn’t take crap. He will want your work done and on time.” That isn’t a problem for her, she is in taking orders. She just wants to make it for herself without her father’s help. The elevator opens and they walk out with his hand still on her back.
Since Phoenix, she hasn’t been able to look at another man without thing about his hands and mouth on her. William walks her into a large office. The desk and all the furniture are rich cherry wood. The floor is black marble with gold specks that sparkle. She gapes at the wall they are white marble with the same gold specks. Mr. DuPont is a rich man and isn’t afraid to show it.
“What?” her voice is a little higher and that makes him laugh out loud.
“You’ll see, he likes to spend his money.” She can feel the same sickness in her stomach. She can’t throw up at work on the first day. “Ms. Cruz, are you okay?” she nods. Jennifer doesn’t know if talking will make her throw up and she isn’t going to test it.
She hears the door open and she gets a warming feeling in her body. “Wills, is this my new PA?” Jennifer’s heart stops, that is the same voice she has been hearing for the pass ten weeks. It has been haunting her.
“Yes, this is Jennifer Cruz.” Slowly she turns around and meets his midnight blue eyes. They wide with his surprised face. He is that last person she wanted to see and with that look she is his last person.
“Thanks Wills. I’ll see you later.” His eyes never leave hers.
“Okay, see you both later.” She doesn’t want to look away from Phoenix’s gaze.
After the door closes, neither of them move. She doesn’t know what to say to him, he took her virginity.
“Are you stalking me?” he narrows his eyes.
“What! You got to be kidding. What would I want from you?” She puts her hands on her hips and glares at him.
“I am the third richest man in America.” Her mouth falls open. It’s about money.
“I don’t need your money.” Her family is well off.
“So you are just stalking to stalk?” She can feel her stomach turning.
“I don’t need this.” The only way out is pass him, she starts to walk out and he puts his hand on her shoulder.
“Wait, I’m sorry. I’m just shocked to see you here.” She glances at his large fingers that have been haunting her dream. She can feel her throw up in the back of her throat.
“I have to go.” She manages to whisper and her mouth feels with water.
He tightens his fingers. “No, please stay.”
His hand is sending vibrations through her body. “Why?”
She makes the worst mistake, she looks into his eyes. “Because I’m a thoughtless jerk.” He smiles and it transfer his face from devil to an angel.
“You are.” She thought she would never see him again and now she works for him. Jennifer is feeling sicker and she knows that she needs to go to the restroom. “I need to use the restroom.”
“Let me brief you on your new job.” She sighs and nods. He walks over to his desk and sits behind it. She quickly follows and sits across from him. “I run a tight business and I will expect you to do everything I say. I like things to be done on time if not earlier. I don’t want to hear about your personal life and I will expect you to keep it to yourself. And last I keep my personal life personal. I don’t want you to gossip about me with the others. Do you understand?”
Jennifer puts on her fakes smile, and nods. “Yes, Mr. DuPont. I understand fully.” The only one she would ever gossip with is Meg and she already knows everything.
He stares at her for a few seconds and nods his head. “Good, I am looking forward in working with you.” He reaches into his desk drawer and pulls out a folder. “This folder is for you, but before you start I need you to sign a confidentiality agreement.” He takes a paper out and slides it to her.
She looks at it and starts reading. It’s your basic confidentiality agreement, so she signs. She looks up in his beautiful face and he smiles. He hands her the red folder. “Is there anything else Mr. DuPont?”
It feels really weird calling him by his last name when she has screamed his name in the heat of passion. She stands up and prays she makes it to the restroom. “Just have that done before lunch.” She nods and turns to walk to the door. “And after today, please don’t wear skirts. I am too distracted thinking about what’s under it.” She pauses for a second and smiles. It’s nice to know she affects him in this way.
“Yes, Mr. DuPont.” She opens his office door and walks out. A woman is walking by, “Where is the closest restroom?” the pretty strawberry blonde smiles and points behind Jennifer.
“Four doors down on your right.”
“Thank you.” Jennifer says and speed walks to the restroom. She runs to the first stall and grabs her hair and loses her morning coffee.
Phoenix runs his hands through his hear. He can't believe she is his new personal assistant. He knows he isn't strong enough to keep his hands off of her, and she smells sweeter than he remembers. Phoenix also knows that he can't just fire her because he had sex with her.
DuPont Industries make the top of the line technology. From cell phones to things the army uses. He cannot afford a law suite, and he doesn't want to be away from her. He has thought about her these past ten weeks. He has been with other women, but when he closes his eyes it is her face he sees. When he is kissing the other women, it is her sweet mouth he is tasting. There is a knock at his door, and runs to it hoping it is Jennifer. He opens it and is disappointed.
“Mr. DuPont, that new girl you hired. She is throwing up in the restroom.” Rachelle bats her big hazel-blue eyes at him. He always kept business and his personal life separate, until now.
He walks out of his office, he knew something wasn’t right with Jennifer. He walks in, and can hear her. His heart stops with the thought that is running through his head.
Jennifer can't stop throwing up. She wonders if it was seeing Phoenix made her sicker. He has been in her mind, and now she is working for him.
“Darling.” A sexy southern voice says.
Her head shoots up, and her heart races. “Mr. DuPont, I will be out in a minute.” She grabs some toilet paper and wipes off her face. She is so embarrass he is in here and has heard her throwing up. She stands up and turns around to open the door. The beautiful Phoenix DuPont is standing there. He is wearing a black suit with a red bottom-up shirt under it. His hair is slicked back.
She feels weak and is about to fall until his arms come around her. “Shit, I got you.” His voice seems to calm her.
She looks up into his midnight blue eyes and feels a sexual pull to him. She pushes away from him, and makes herself stand on shaky legs. “How do you do that?” She narrows her eyes on her handsome boss.
He cocks an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
“You can turn me on no matter what! I should hate you and before I seen you today I did.” She puts her hands on her hips and glares at him.
Phoenix looks down, “You should hate me.” That is her problem, she wants to hate him but can’t. This man has been the star of her dreams for the pass ten weeks. “If you need to leave early, I understand.” He brings his head up to look at her and she is shock to see concern on his face.
“No, I’m fine now.” He stares at her a few seconds and then nods.
“Okay, well if you change your mind let me know.” He turns around and walks out of the restroom.
She grabs her phone out of her purse and calls her best friend. “I think I need a test.”
“What?” Meg says, “Oh my, you need that test.”
“I think so, can you meet me for lunch?”
Meg starts laughing. “Sure, and it figures the first time you have sex you end up pregnant!”
Jennifer walks out of the restroom and a few of her co-workers are looking at her. “Shut up.” That only makes her best friend laugh harder.
“What time should I meet you?” Jennifer looks at her phone, and notices it’s 9:30.
She glances at her computer and sees it is now 9:10. “I think I should be done at 12:30.”
“See you then. Bye!”
“Thanks, I love you.” She is at her desk and looks up to see Phoenix. Her heart pounds in her chest.
He is glaring at her. “Boyfriend?” he looks down at her phone.
Phoenix DuPont is jealous! She has to hold in her giggles. “No, Mr. DuPont. It was my best friend Meg, we are mee
ting up for lunch.”
Relief floods his face and she smiles. “Fine let me know when you are leaving.” He turns around and walks into his office.
Jennifer sits down and opens the folder. She starts working so she can get done.
Chapter Three
12:15, Jennifer grabs her phone is texts her best friend.
Lunch, 12:45 at Subway.
Which works perfectly since there is one across the street. She gets up and knocks on Phoenix’s door.
“Come in.” his loud voice says that is coming out of a speaker box.
She walks in and shuts the door. He is typing on his keyboard. “I am heading to lunch. Would you like anything from subway?”
He looks up at her and smiles. That smiles makes her heart stop, it was the one he had when he made love to her. “Sure.”
It takes her a second to realize what he said. “What would you like sir?”
He smiles again, “Surprise me.” He says low enough that she almost didn’t hear him. She can feel his warmth from him as if he is standing next to her.
Jennifer’s phone vibrates in her hand and she glances at it.
At SW with the O-shit test.
She giggles, and looks up. “Okay I’ll be back in thirty minutes.”
“Why don’t you take forty-five minutes?”
“Thank you Mr. DuPont.”
He smiles and nods. “You are welcome Ms. Cruz.”
Jennifer walks out of the office and heads to subway. It doesn’t take her long to get there. When she walks in she sees Meg sitting at a table already eating. She sits down without getting anything.
“You're not eating?” Megan says with her mouth full of food.
“I can't, I’m too nervous.” Meg hands Jen a brown paper bag.
“Take it so we both know.” Jennifer nods and takes the brown bag.
She walks into the restroom, and closes the stall door. She takes the test out and reads the directions. She does what it says and waits. She closes her eyes, what is she going to do if it's a yes? She works for the only man she has ever had sex with. She can't hide it from him, not long at least. She looks at her phone and three minutes has passed. Her heart feels like it might pound out of her chest, slowly she looks at the test and there are two lines. Oh shit, that means she is pregnant.
