or something.”
    “So what made you do so last night?”
    Capturing her bottom lip between her teeth, Melissa sighed for a moment and said, “I wish I knew.” She leaned forward and whispered, “The minute I opened my door to find him there, I was practically wetting my panties.”
    “Oh man! Sounds interesting. Tell me more.”
    Her gaze shifted around them to make sure no one listened. “He came to the door and when I told him everyone had left for the day and that I knew he wasn’t looking for me, he said he was. He knew all about you setting up the bath, the wine and the flowers. It’s weird, Mandy. There has to be a connection somewhere. He drove straight to my house and for some ungodly reason I let him take me home.” She shivered. “I never trust men like that.” Leaning toward her cousin, she said, “And after we went inside, I let him make love to me.”
    The napkin came up in front of Mandy’s face and she swished it back and forth, fanning herself. “Damn.”
    “I guess it had been too damned long since I’d been with a man or something. Hell, I don’t know.” A frown pulled down the corners of her mouth. “I’m not usually so careless.”
    “We all need to cut loose every once in a while, Lissa. Nothing wrong with that.”
    Their lunch arrived and topics turned to other things. Once they were finished, Melissa paid the tab and they walked to their cars.
    “Why don’t you come over this weekend? We are having a barbeque with some of the guys who work with Brad at the site.”
“Just guys?”
    “Hell no. The ones who are married are bringing their wives and kids. It’s going to be a family affair, but if I know Brad, he invited all the single guys too. He already told me to invite every single female I know.”
    Melissa shook her head. Her cousin-in-law thought every single female in town needed to be paired up with a hunky construction worker, including her. Brad and Mandy had to be about the cutest couple she knew. Even after five years of marriage, the two of them were so in love, it set the bar very high for what she wanted. If she ever met a guy she wanted to share her life with, they needed to have the kind of relationship she saw when she looked at her cousin. Except for one thing, he had to be strong enough and confident enough to bend her to his will in the bedroom.
    Her thoughts turned to Drew and how he had dominated her the night before. She didn’t even know him, but he’d taken her to the peak of ecstasy, held her there until he let her have her pleasure at his command. Her face flushed when she remembered his words, ‘Come for me, Liss.’ No one ever called her Liss. Everyone she knew either called her Melissa or Lissa. The way he’d shortened her name and let it roll from his mouth had her pussy clenching even now.
    “Hello? Lissa?”
    “Uh? Sorry. I was off somewhere else for a minute.”
    “That’s obvious. The flush on your cheeks makes me wonder.”
    Shaking her head, she said, “It’s nothing. Anyway, what time this weekend?”
    “About three. We’ll be barbequing and having a bonfire as well. It should be fun.”
    “All right. I’ll be there.”
    Mandy hugged her and then stepped back. “Great. I’ll see you then.”
    She opened her car door and slipped inside. The thought of spending the afternoon with Mandy and Brad made her smile.
    I just need to get through the next two days before that can happen.
    When she made it back to her office building, she stood near the elevator and tapped her foot impatiently while she waited. The security system on the elevator for her floor was only kept secure once the last person left for the day within the management team. Only she, the manager of the IT department and the top four executives of the company held the security key. One of them always had to be the last one out of the building in the evenings and now, that job usually fell to her.
    The elevator opened to the big, silver letters of Marshall Enterprises
