The Taste of Seduction

Meredith closed the door and leaned against her. She has done a lot of embarrassing things in her life but this was just top notch.

What kind of idiot put the fingers of their boss in their mouth on their first day at work? She tried to calm her heart which was hammering in her chest.

She remembered the lame excuse she gave about her brother and cringe with embarrassment. Gosh she can't face him, this was mortifying.

Her mind went to her brother. She couldn't let him down. She had promised to get him a laptop once she gets paid. Also, Sofia had gotten her the job so she couldn't disgrace her.

Meredith stared at the floor as she thought of a solution. As long as she works hard he would forget about this incident and not fire her.

A flush spread across her face as she remembered how his fingers felt in her mouth.

At first she just wanted to smoothen the burns but the moment she flicked her tongue right to left on his burned fingers she realized that she actually liked it.

Her body hummed with arousal and she felt herself get a rush of moisture below. Gosh, she was turning into a hormonal teenager.

Meredith sighed and went to her desk. She looked through the file Julia had given her and started working.

She had to arrange reservations, answer phone calls and divert clients phone calls to his office.

**************

By the time it was 5pm Meredith was beyond tired. She had been sent then on a mad errand. It's like her boss wanted to punish her for what happened earlier.

She had been sent to grab coffee every two hours. Go through each important client profile , the assignments left by the previous secretary and send emails to the various departments. She didn't even have time for lunch.

Now she had a horrible headache and her stomach was protesting. She had to do some photocopies then she will be done for the day.

The moment Meredith stood up to do the photocopies downstairs the door of Atlas's office opened.

He was talking on the phone and she could guess whatever conservation he was having wasn't pleasant.

"So is there anything we can do?" She heard Atlas murmured. His voice was strained and his fist clenched.

"Alright." Atlas sighed and hung up the call. He had received a call from his brother's doctor. He thought his brother would be waking up soon but that doesn't seem like the case.

Nobody knew why he hadn't woken up. All his tests were fine and his vitals were perfect but Ace wasn't waking up. The doctors couldn't explain why all they told Atlas was to wait.

Now it's been almost a year and he was losing his patience. He needed his brother, his best friend.

God, he really needed to find the person responsible for his brother's accident to release the pent up frustration he has for a year now.

He ran his hands through his hair and blew out air.

"Erm.are you okay sir?"

Atlas tipped his head in her direction and saw his secretary with a worried frown on her face. He didn't even notice she was standing there.

Clearing his throat he raised his brows, "How long have you been standing there?"

"Not long. I was going to do some photocopies but I saw you coming. I thought you needed me to do something for you."

Meredith said as she rubbed the base of her neck where her pulse beat in hard spasms.

"No. I'm going out so you can close for the day after you're done with your photocopies."

The corners of Meredith's curled upwards in a smile. She couldn't wait to go home and sleep on the comfort of her bed.

"Alright. Thank you sir."

Atlas nodded and walked towards the elevator with Meredith following behind him.

She jerked towards a halt as she waited for the elevator door to open. Atlas stepped in. His gaze riveted on her.

Meredith didn't know if she should ride the elevator with her boss or wait for the next one.

The door began to close. Atlas took a step forward and pressed on a button to hold the panel to open.

"Are you afraid to be alone with me, Miss Rossi?"

Atlas said a smug grin took perch on his thin lips like an ugly vulture.

Meredith swallowed, she really didn't want to be alone with her boss in an elevator. The man did things to her and it scared her. But she knew as his assistant she couldn't avoid him forever.

She stepped in the elevator. "Thank you."

Atlas released the button and stepped back. The door closed and the elevator began to descend.

Meredith immediately regretted her decision. She should have waited for him to leave first.

He had a strange kind of animal magnetism that drew her to him. She was disturbed by the raw power of her attraction to him.

Her breathing became ragged. Blood throbbed in her veins with a scarlet web of desire

He was all she could think about at the moment.

Fortunately, he cleared his throat, which pulled her back from the lust ledge just in time, before she swan-dived right into the abyss of really bad ideas.

"So how was your first day?" He asked, breaking the stretching silence between them.

"Erm...good. Yours?"

Meredith felt his gaze on her. Her pulse raced, palms dampening at the effect he had on her.

"Well it wasn't my first day but it was quite interesting."
