open the door.
    “Do you want me to fire you?” I asked, getting serious.
    She lost her flirty mood in a moment.
    “I don’t.”
    “Then kiss me now,” I ordered, and instead of waiting for her reaction, I drew closer, took her by her waist, and gave her a long, deep kiss.
    She moved back.
    “That’s not what I really wanted,” Elle said with a concerned look.
    “You know what I think about playboys like you.”
    I didn’t care. All I knew was that I almost won my prize, and I didn’t want to lose it now.
    “I’m sorry, Simon, but the game is over for tonight. Thank you for not firing me and goodnight,” she said abruptly, opened the door and slipped out of my arms quicker than I could seize her.

 
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 4
     
     
    Next morning, she was calm and professional―as usual. She looked as if nothing happened the day before, and . . . well, I hated it. Elle tricked me!
    Instead of following my rules, she made her own and escaped. I couldn’t let it be.
    “Elle, come into my office,” I requested, and she called in.
    “I want you to do a lot for me today,” I started.
    My goal was to make her beg for my mercy.
    “This, this, and that,” I handed her a few stacks of papers.
    “Sort them out, make the reports, and don’t lose a figure, please.”
    She was just nodding and making her notes.
    I’d never paid attention to her diligence, but she was an amazing secretary, to be honest. She finished all the tasks before lunch and came to me with a look of inquiry.
    “Anything else?” Elle asked, and I thought I saw a hint of a smile on her lips.
    I stood up, grabbed her, and started to kiss almost violently. I wanted her to be mine—now!
    But she didn’t let me. She broke loose from my grip and adjusted her dress.
    “If that’s all, I’ll have my lunch,” she said, turning her back upon me.
    Oh, I hated her so much! So I started to think over my last plan…

 
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 5
     
     
    A few days of decent behavior and polite remarks, and I caught Elle’s wondering look. We were the last ones to leave the office—as always―and it was quite late.
    I asked her to come into my office.
    “Just a few more things,” I said seriously.
    “I want you to look through these files.”
    “If you are trying to exhaust me, it’s not going to work,” she said casually.
    She was being cheeky again!
    That meant that she was in a play mood, but I wanted to show that I wasn’t. Being serious, even severe, I wanted to seem buried in work. I wanted Elle to think I didn’t care about her.
    And it worked the way I expected.
    Elle placed her notebook on my table, stepped closer, and kissed me. I didn’t grab her, and I didn’t kiss her back: I just stayed calm.
    “What’s wrong? Isn’t it what you wanted?” she asked with a puzzled look.
    I realized that the reason of my hesitation was weird.
    My goal was to drive Elle mad by my composure, and then score with her. But there was something odd deep down: I actually felt something…
    I looked in Elle’s eyes and noticed they were as blue as the sea. Then I touched her hair and saw it was as soft as the silk.
    I brushed against her skin and smiled: it was more delicate than any girl’s skin I ever touched.
    “Simon?” she asked as if worried.
    I took both her hands, drew her closer to me and kissed her—in a tender, gentle way.
    “May I ask you to come with me?”
    “Are you in a gentleman mood again?” she asked, still nervous.
    I shrugged my shoulders. It wasn’t about the mood. It wasn’t something that could come and go. I just knew I fell in love with this girl.
    “Is it your house?” Elle asked, entering my living room.
    “Wow. I thought you have a bigger one.”
    I wanted to smile and mock, but I took her hand instead and led her upstairs, to the bedroom. Then I kissed her again and started to unbutton her dress. She didn’t mind.
    Her body was amazing. Fit and curvy, she was ideal. She had amazing full
