I lightly beep the horn to get the car ahead of me to move a little quicker. The end of my truck was sticking out on the road.
"Come on, come on, move it." Someone's not paying attention.
My phone buzzes and after three rings, the blue tooth engages inside the truck.
I watch a brunette, pretty from the back, exit a car in the front row. She's wearing a nice tight dress that hugs her ass, an ass that makes me smile as it swings from side to side.
"Hey, Ethan, what's up man?"
"Bro. You coming by?" I bite my bottom lip, to stop myself from moaning into the phone, as I watch the hot brunette walk into the building I am going to be in soon. Score!
"I already told you, I can't. I'm starting a new job." Figures he wouldn't remember.
"Yea, but I was hoping you would swing by before work, you know, to help me... out."
I can hear Ethan sniffling and fidgeting, sure signs he's feening for a fix. No way in hell I am helping him out; aka giving him money.
"No, Ethan. I won't be swinging by today, or any other day. We've discussed this. You know that," I spit out through gritted teeth. I'm so tired of this shit.
"Yea, thanks for nothing... bro." Ethan seethes into the phone and ends the call.
I enjoy the quiet for a moment. My brother stirs up my emotions.
A wave of guilt rolls through me but I push it down.
I sit up straighter and check my tie again. Almost 9. I open the door and slide out of my truck. Stand, turn around and reach into the back of the truck and pull my suit jacket off the hook. I tug it on, straighten my shirt sleeves and adjust my belt.
I take a deep breath and let it out. Reaching into the truck, I pick up my laptop bag off the passenger seat, and shut the truck door. As I'm walking away, I fob the doors locked and hit the alarm.
I smile as I walk into my new adventure.

Emma.Emma Russe. Her name plays on repeat in my head as I stare at her. My eyes hungrily roam her body.
Calm it down, Knox.
"Emma, come meet Knox. He's joining us today." Faye calls out, her excitement contagious. I study her as she comes closer, her hips swaying in her dress. Those curves. They're rocking.
"Knox, meet Emma. Emma, meet Knox. He's taking the empty office down the hall." I barely hear Faye anymore, my eyes locked on Emma's face. Her brown eyes are stunning. I'm transfixed by the long, flowing brown hair. Her complexion is flawless, her lips painted a ruby red. What I wouldn't give for a taste...
Snap out of it. This is a place of business, your business. Besides, you don't need a woman fucking your head up right now. You have enough shit to deal with.
"Hi, nice to meet you, Knox." Emma reaches her hand out for a shake and I gladly accept. I wrap my big hand around her smaller one, swallowing it. Jolts of electricity shock us both and we spring back, confusion sweeping through.
Say something. Anything.
"Nice... nice to meet you, too. Faye was about to give me a tour of the office, but the phone seems to be ringing off the hook." I throw Faye a wink and she all but melts back into her seat. "Do you mind, Faye," I ask, my eyes locked back on Emma's, "If Emma here gives me a tour?"
I hear Emma gasp, which brings me a hint of joy. Good, she's affected, too.
"I don't mind... I am quite busy up here..." Faye trails off and I interrupt, the desire to be alone with Emma taking over, surprising even myself.
My phone vibrates in my pocket, my stomach sinking. I know it's my brother; our phone call wasn't finished when I ended it.
Ignoring the buzz, I grin at Faye. "Thanks," Turning back to Emma, I find her walking away.
"Hey! Wait up!" I call out, jogging to catch up to her. She spins to face me, a small smile tugging at her lips. Fuck, I'm in trouble.
