“Excellent. Follow me.”

Wordlessly walking side-by-side down the hall, he savored the electricity sparking between them.

There’d been a short cat and mouse game.

He’d won.

Soon he’d be devouring his prey.

Ushering her into his impressive office, he perched on the edge of his desk and watched her as she sat down. Her generous breasts were obvious beneath the thin blouse. She’d do very nicely.

BACK IN MALIBU, STELLAwas deeply troubled.

A couple of hours before, as the sun was sinking into the ocean turning the sky a magnificent mix of purple and orange, John had called to say he’d be home for dinner. He’d been unusually sweet on the phone, and promised her a special evening.

She’d been consumed with guilt, and wondered why she’d slept with Tony. Yes, she’d felt lonely and abandoned, but that was no excuse. Determined to make it up to her husband, she’d made preparations for a delicious meal. But as he had done so many times before, he’d called and said he couldn’t make it.

Her first reaction was disappointment, but it quickly turned to anger.

When she showed the guard her ID, and told him she was there to surprise her husband with a special dinner, he waved her in.

Rolling up to the Golden Tower, she saw John’s car in his assigned parking space. Elated to be there and pulling up next to it, she walked up to the heavy glass doors and pushed them open. But as she entered the lobby she saw the guard leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed. Hastily removing her stilettos, she hurried silently to the elevators.

Getting off at the Executive Suite and still carrying her shoes, she moved down the hall towards his office. It was quiet, almost eerie, but as she neared his suite, she thought she heard voices. Moving into the reception area, she found the door to his inner sanctum cracked open. The voices were clearer, but they were stilted, not conversational. Puzzled, she cautiously approached and peered inside...
