stood up to Chandler like that, drunk or
sober. This woman was fearless. “Damn, that’s even sexier,” he
said.
    Gavin was becoming extremely
aroused by how Faith had carried herself at the party. He knew he
couldn’t have her, so he would have to find someone else to help
relieve his tension. A young lady was standing on the steps out
front. ‘ Perfect,’ he thought.
    “Hi, I’m Gavin.” He stood on one of the steps
to talk to her.
    “Hi,” she said shyly. “I’m Tiffany. I know
who you are.” She smiled and looked around.
    “Did you have fun tonight? Do you need a ride
home?” he asked with deception in his voice. She was too naïve to
catch on.
    “No, I came with a friend. I’m just wai-
”
    “You said you know who I am,” Gavin
interrupted, “so you know what I want. Do you need a ride
home?”
    “Okay.”
    Gavin directed her to his car. When they got
to her apartment, she invited him in. Gavin had his way with her
and was relieved of the tension caused by his arousal from Faith,
but he wouldn’t be satisfied until he had her.
     
     
     

CHAPTER THREE
     
    First thing Monday morning, Gavin, disgusted
with Chandler, called her into his office to discuss what had
happened at the party.
    “What’s up, baby?” she asked as she walked in
without knocking.
    Sternly he said, “I want you to apologize to
Faith for the way you acted on Saturday. Today.”
    “I will do no such thing. That little hussy
deserved it.” She crossed her arms and shook her head.
    “You will, and I don’t want to hear another
thing about it. You won’t call, you won’t email. You will march
right down to her office, right now, and tell her that you’re
sorry.” He looked directly at her, without smiling.
    “She should be apologizing to you! That bi-
”
    “I would watch my words, if I were you,”
Gavin said, interrupting before she could get herself into more
trouble.
    “I’m not afraid of her,” Chandler
snapped.
    “You should be. One wrong move, and you’re
out of here. If you weren’t one of the best marketers that we have,
you’d be packing your things right now. Consider yourself
warned.”
    “She’s not my boss.”
    “Maybe not directly. She only has to say the
word, and you’re gone. Don’t cross her again. Now, do as I told
you.”
    Chandler rolled her eyes, swung around and
stormed out his office. She walked down to Faith’s office and
knocked on the door.
    Faith looked up. ‘Oh, lucky me,’ she
thought.
    “Can I come in?” Chandler asked, as nicely as
she could. It was killing her.
    Faith didn’t speak, she only nodded.
    “I just wanted to come by and apologize for
the things that I said to you on Saturday. I was drunk and I was
wrong.” Chandler waited for a response.
    “You don’t have to apologize, Chandler. You
didn’t hurt my feelings. I think you know where I stand. As long
you understand that, we won’t have any problems,” Faith said
without smiling.
    “Okay, well, thank you for your time.”
Chandler left the office. As soon as she got around the corner, she
clinched her teeth and made fists with her hands. She huffed, and
went to her desk to start working.
     
    A little later, Gavin went to talk to Faith
about the upcoming weeks, and to follow up on Chandler.
    “Knock, knock.” He stood in Faith’s
doorway.
    “Good morning,” she said, wondering what to
expect.
    “Did Chandler come apologize? I told her not
to do anything else until she did.” Gavin was hoping this would
soften her attitude a little.
    “You didn’t have to do that. You really
should get control over your girlfriend,” Faith chimed.
    Gavin was both irritated and
aroused. ‘Damn, it’s too early in the
morning for this,’ he thought. “She’s not
my girlfriend.” He walked in and sat down.
    “Oh, that’s right. She’s just a prize, or
notch, or whatever you call them.”
    “Look, I just thought it was necessary. I
hope it didn’t ruin your evening at the party. I really hope
