headed for the door.
    On our way out a man at the bar stopped us. “Hey, Old Man. It’s been a long time.”
    “Yes it has been. I would like to chat but I must get the lady home.”
    “Some other time I guess, when you’re not escorting such a lovely lady.” He looked at me as if he were undressing me with his eyes. He suddenly reached for my hand, “Steven McMillan, lovely to meet you.”
    “Nice to meet you too, Steven.”
    “I didn’t get your name.”
    “That’s because I didn’t say it.”
    “Oh, she’s a crafty one. It’s just like you, Ashton, to have a woman with beauty and brains.”
    “I will talk to you later, Steven. I’ll call you tomorrow.” Ashton was walking fast to get out of there.
    “What’s the hurry?”
    “I just want to get you home.”
    Sitting in the car, Ashton seemed thousands of miles away. “Penny for your thoughts.”
    “I was just wondering how I could convince you to have a night cap at my place.”
    I knew this was a lie, but if that’s how he wanted to play it, OK with me. “I wish, but it’s getting late.”
    “Candice,” as he moved closer to me, “let me kiss you” and I felt his lips caress mine. I moved away slightly, as if to push him away. “Candice, I’ve wanted to kiss you all night.”
    His kisses became deeper and I began to feel the heat of him. I wanted him to kiss me. He ran his hands up my thighs, kissing me with such passion. His hands felt warm and soft, as he went further and further up my skirt, pulling at my lace panties. This couldn’t be happening. This man is my boss. I became dizzy as he stroked the wetness between my legs and kept kissing my lips.
    He was taking me to the point of no return. He started kissing me deeper, muffling my moans. I was in a car for God sakes, with two strangers, the driver and Ashton. He was taking me there, and I loved it and hated it at the same time.
    He slid his tongue down my neck and I could feel the hardness that had formed between his legs. “Candice, I want you, I want you.” I wanted him too, but was I seriously going to let him do this right here?
    I managed to push him away. “Ashton, let’s wait until we get to the apartment, ok?” I managed to pull myself up and pull my skirt down. I could smell the sex and Ashton could smell it too. He had that lustful look in his eyes all men get when they want to unleash the beast.
    “Candice, please, will you stay with me tonight?” He sounded almost childlike.
    I wanted to say no. “Yes, but I must leave early.” Was I honestly agreeing to stay with a man I hardly knew?
    “Anything, I just want you for the rest of the night.” The driver pulled up in front of Ashton’s building and the doorman opened the door.
    “Good evening, Mr. Williams, and how are you this lovely evening?”
    “I’m ok and you, Jackson?”
    I slid to the right side of the car to get out as Jackson reached his hand out to assist me.
    “Good evening Miss and how are you?”
    “I’m ok, thank you, Jackson.” I wrapped my coat tighter to cover my disheveled clothing. We walked to the elevator doors, Ashton pushing me along as the doors closed behind us.
    “Candice, this will be a night you will remember. I promise.” The elevator doors opened as we reached the top floor of his penthouse suite. Ashton took my hand and led me to the sofa. “Would you like a drink?”
    “Yes, a vodka cranberry.”
    “Vodka cranberry for the lady. I think I’ll have something a little stronger,” and he downed a shot of scotch. “If you would like to freshen up, the bathroom is right through there. Help yourself to whatever you want.”
    I walked down the hall, sipping my drink. I turned on the light and saw the most beautiful bathroom, marble from floor to ceiling, black and white tile floors, and a red basin with silver fixtures. White towels monogramed with the red letters, AW. The shower you could have lived in, with jets that would touch every part of the body. I turned on the
