"Allie, just wait here for me, okay? I'll be back in a minute," Allison said.
Brooklyn nodded. "Okay."
Joshua didn't waste any the led Allison straight to the executive elevator and pressed the button for the
twenty-eighth floor.
Inside, it was just the two of them. The small space felt even smaller in the quiet, their breathing the only sound.
Joshua stood right next to Allison, so close she could smell his cologne-a cool, woody scent that suited him
perfectly. The space between them was practically nonexistent, their clothes almost touching.
It was a little too close for comfort. Allison edged away, trying to put sspace between them.
Joshua's eyes caught her movement. He raised an eyebrow and leaned down, his lips nearly brushing her ear.
"Afraid | might bite?" he whispered, his voice low and teasing.
Allison's ears turned pink. She pressed her lips together, not answering.
A lazy smile spread across Joshua's face, satisfied.

with a black sofa and coffee table; the other, his workspace.
Allison glanced around. "Should | wait for you over here on the sofa?"
"Cwith me," Joshua said, his voice smooth and quiet.
She trailed after him, past the partition, and noticed a door tucked away in the corner. Joshua opened it.
Inside was a whole other
room-huge, easily the size of an
apartment. It looked more like a

The décor matched the rest of the office-cool, elegant, a little distant.
