lets her lips slip into a smile.
    It is all a game and I never lose. Her persistence only makes it seem more like a challenge that I can't ignore, and I know all I want is to kiss that wonderful mouth.
    She's smiling as I get closer. "Jeremy, please."
    With her hand languidly resting on my chest, our lips finally touch. I can feel her wonderfully rewarding grin against my mouth. I don't want to stop, and she doesn't resist. If anything, she eggs me on as she lets her hand drag over my chest , sending delicious goose bumps all over my body. The kiss is gentle and passionate as her lips command mine.
    Her hand climbs up my neck , and she tangles her fingers into my hair, anchoring me to her. Carnal hunger takes over as she lets me part her lips, tasting her sinful flavor, and our tongues twist around each other. My skin burns as if it's on fire.
    I bring my hand up to cup her face as I back her up against the wall, pinning her with my hips, and she lets out a quiet moan. My pants strain at the sound. I have never felt such an explosion of need for another human being.
    There is no sign of us wanting to stop as my free hand hungrily glides down her waist to her thigh, forcing her to wrap her legs around me as I press harder against her.
    Ping. The elevator doors open.
    For the first time in my life, I think I might have actually met my match, because we don't bother to look, stop, or even fidget. Not in the slightest.
    " Excuse me! I said, 'Excuse me,'" someone shouts from the hallway.
    P ing. The doors shut.
    Who was it? I don't know and don't care. All I know is they didn't bother stepping inside, and I finally get to take that wonderful lip between my teeth and tug.
    She roughly pulls me into another passionate kiss , and all I can think is I want more, so much more.
    P ing. The elevator doors open again . This must be my floor now.
    Before I can form some plan of action , she pushes me away with an amount of strength that surprises me.
    We are out of breath. The rush from whatever just happened has me feeling as if I ran a marathon. I can't wipe the stupid grin off my face. She shakes her head, as if trying to shake the situation from her mind, and continues to push me off her as she reclaims her body and its limbs.
    She takes in one final fill of oxygen , and says with force, "You get one free pass, Jeremy, one , and that was it."
    This time , she is the one grabbing my hand as she pulls me out of the elevator. As if this is my fault.
    I don't know much, but I do know it takes two to tango.

CHAPTER SEVEN
    Breaking All the Rules
     
     
     
     
    ALEX TURNER
    We make it into his apartment in one horny piece, and I know I should be angry with myself for what I allowed to happen.
    You wonder why the boys at the office won't give you respect when you can barely keep your pants on!
    Shut up, subconscious. I have the best damn aim in our department, and can hack a security system in record time. I deserve the respect. I am just human, susceptible to human emotions ... unfortunately.
    I can tell Jeremy is as frustrated as I am, and he is visibly peeved. Before we entered his apartment, I explained to him that this is all wrong, but the stubborn man that he is, he completely disagrees. Always defiant. The thought makes me smile, and it shouldn't.
    I watch him walk around the kitchen. Is he pouting? Is he throwing a tantrum? I wish I could tell him the truth. He doesn't understand this is all so much harder for me than it is for him, but I can't mention why. At least not yet. Not until I confer with Derek.
    The thought makes my heart sink. He won't want to hear this. What a mess I have gotten myself into! For a moment, I get mad at Derek because I know the real reason he won't want to hear this, and I know he will be territorial. But he has no right to be. As my boss? Maybe . As my ex-boyfriend? He had better think again.
    I don't want to sit here and watch Jeremy be upset with me. I may not be able to say anything, but I can't have
