In the corporate messenger he questioned the usefulness of this and she answered that it would help the staff to be healthier and there would be less people on sick-leave. He acquiesced.
The following week, she opened a bidding for a gym chain to use one of the vacant floors in the company building, where staff would have a discount, covered by MBS. Mark inquired about this too, but she questioned how he felt about working out. At his optimistic answer, she said that staff would probably feel the same way. Then gym it was.
The feedback she was getting from employees was very positive and it worked as motivation for her. She kept up to it.
But, two weeks later, when she formulated a project to send the management level staff on a seminar in Mallorca, he came in the corporate messenger and called her to his room.
She walked to his room, apprehension running through her. They hadn’t been seeing much of each other. He had been working late and arrived home when she was in bed already and she left home while he was still at his gym.
His secretary announced her and led her to his room. As she entered, she saw him sitting carelessly on his high-back chair, with the view of London through the ample window behind him. One arm on the chair arm-rest, the other hand toyed with a pen.
“Excuse me.” She said.
His feline eyes observed every detail of her: her silk chemise falling over her full breasts as a caress, her business skirt wrapping her round hips and shapely thighs down to her knees and her elegant stilettos. The shinny cinnamon hair in silky curls around her face. Her skin burned at every spot he focused his panther-like eyes at.
“Have a seat.” He motioned to her.
She looked at him dressed in a top-brand tailored greenish grey suit covering his broad muscled shoulders and heavily worked out chest. The rest was left to her imagination as the table hid his six-packed belly and long trained legs.
“You’re doing a very good job,” he begun in his deep male voice, “and I understand you want to put to practice what’s fresh from college.” His eyes were intent on her huge honey ones.
His direct intent look stirred countless and unspeakable sensations in her and it got stony difficult to concentrate.
“But preparing a seminar requires a little more than a project, as I am sure you know.” He continued.
“Yes, of course.” She stared him in the eyes. “And I’ll do everything that’s necessary if it comes to happen.”
“I do think this is a very timely idea.” Now his upper-body came to lean on the table. “MBS is growing fast and we need to keep up with team building.”
“My concept exactly, as I explained in the project.” She kept a professional voice, even though there were a hundred lines of communication going on between them.
“Therefore, we must travel to Mallorca and check the hotel location and facilities before we book it.”
She heard this with a stunned surprise. She hadn’t expected him to take care of things personally. She felt as if she was walking straight into a trap.
“We? But I have already designated Travis to come with me to check it out.” She made an attempt to evade from the trap.
Mark narrowed his piercing eyes in barely controlled fury. This damn Travis guy again! He stood abruptly from his chair, surrounded the table and came to stand right in front of her chair, muscled arms folded, strong long legs apart.
She glanced up at his six-feet-five of magnetic power, her beautiful look wide. She felt in utter disadvantage, remaining seated, but she wouldn’t give him the pleasure to know it.
“You’re going nowhere with no one if I don’t approve of the trip, do you understand?” His deep male voice acquired a threatening edge.
Mentioning Travis was a stupid mistake, she realized too late. As he stared down at her with his intensely furious eyes and her own anger ignited. “Alright then. One of us is enough to go. And cheaper. If you’re going, so I’ll stay and take care of the details.”
At this he took her by her arm and raised her to meet his stony stare. “As far as I know, I am the boss here and it’s up to me to decide!” Why his body hardened as a rock every time he was near her was a mystery he would never solve.
Her huge eyes looked up at him, her neck needing to bend several degrees back, so near they were to each other. Of course he was the boss, and a very bossy one, by the way.
By now both were breathing with a difficulty they were trying desperately to disguise it. He stared at her with such intensity that her honey eyes dilated shamelessly. His tall body bent slightly towards her making her bend backwards to keep a minimum vital distance.
His implacable hand pulled her arm and they got closer, dangerously closer. He smelled her flowery perfume mixed with her womanly scent; it fogged his mind. He panted as he fought for control, but there was a certain traitorous part of him which only craved relief. And it was going to act on it.

She was breathing hard and her breath caught his musky after-shave and his male scent. They were doing unconfessable things to her body. The sensations running through her were making her body lax and malleable. There were barely a couple of inches between them and the whole thing could end up tragically bad.
She convoked every drop of mind-clearness she had left in her. “Let me go! You’re going to hurt me.” She made every effort to sound cold.
