Chapter 1 Sweet Loving

"Great! Just great! More work has been added to the pile of files I have to review and analyze." Stephanie complained as she viewed mail from her department manager asking her to create a visual representation of the data she had to analyze using Power BI.

It was very late in the evening, and most of the staff had gone home, but Stephanie stayed late in the office most evenings as work was all she had to do.

She didn't have any friends or family members she could go home to or visit. She grew up in the orphanage and learned very early never to get too close or form any bond with any of the other kids because they could be separated in the blink of an eye.

Stephanie sighed, remembering how she had to work hard, work extra time to get an education, and work her way up to the position she was in now as a data analyst. The overtime spent in the office paid off.

She was nowhere near where she wanted to be in her career, but she believed that with time, her ambitious self would achieve a place at the top; for now, she could only dream. Stephanie sighed and settled in her office chair, then stood up quickly when she heard a crashing sound outside her door.

Stephanie's heart started throwing punches at her chest as she realized with another loud crashing sound that she did not mishear and someone else was in the office wrecking things.

She whispered to herself in panic, "Oh! What should I do? I am the only staff member left in this building right now. I don't want to die young."

She stopped lamenting when she heard a sob, then a man crying, and stood confused for a few minutes, trying to think about her next course of action.

She heard the sobbing sound grow closer and looked around quickly for a weapon to defend her, just in case.

She rushed over and carried the fire extinguisher into her office when she heard her doorknob click. She was about to spray the intruder but stopped mid-action when she saw it was her boss, the CEO of the company she worked for, Leon Phenoix.

Stephanie stood stupefied for a few seconds before asking, "Wha..what? What are you doing here, sir? Are you alright?

Leon cried and said, "I want her! I want her back!" Then sat down in a corner of her office, rocking himself back and forth while crying.

Stephanie was confused. She had never seen her boss, who always appeared so strong, powerful, and domineering, look like a weak, sobbing child. She knew he was drunk, as her office smelled of alcohol.

She took tentative steps towards him and said softly, "Who do you want back, sir?"

"My ex-wife, Adriana. I want her back. She was the one, my only true love. I fell in love with her from the moment I laid eyes on her, but she cheated on me with my best friend, Michael, and then left me. I want her back. I don't care if I have to beg." He was sobbing bitterly.

Stephanie felt sorry for the boss-man and wondered what sort of woman Adriana was to have reduced a powerful man like Leon to a sobbing baby, but then she also knew the power of alcohol and how it tends to make one act out of character.

She had to get him to his house, which was in the same upper-class neighborhood as the office, as it would not be a good look if others saw him in this state.

She asked him further questions and managed to get his car keys, then helped him to the elevator, then down to his car, glad that he could still walk and that he was still a little bit coherent.

Stephanie was thankful Leon was not so wasted, as he could still open the gate to his estate with his palm print and showed her a secret passageway that would take them straight to his quarters to avoid his staff.

"Wow! Stephanie said when she entered his room, marveling at how grand his room was.

She pushed Leon onto the bed, took off his shoes and socks, and then climbed back on the bed beside him to unbutton his dress shirt, but he held her hand and started pulling her close to him.

"Wha...what are you doing, Mr. Phenoix?" Stephanie asked as he started caressing her cheeks from his position below her.

"Beautiful, you are so beautiful." He slurred slightly and slid his hand down to her thigh and pulled it so she was sitting astride him. Then he started unzipping the fly of her trousers. Stephanie gasped softly.

Stephanie tried to reason with her boss and tried to come down from her position astride him. "Sir, we shouldn't be doing..." she stopped mid-sentence with a loud moan as Leon squeezed her breasts through her silk office blouse.

When Leon pushed his hand inside her trousers to touch her, he marveled at how wet she already was for him.

Stephanie was so turned on that she didn't know what to do with herself and when her boss took off the rest of her clothes, she allowed him, as all reasoning flew out the window immediately, and he touched her.

They both stood naked, and Leon pushed Stephanie onto the bed, then stood over her, drinking at the sight of her luscious body.

Leon bent over Stephanie, his eyes never leaving hers and burying his head in her neck. He grabbed her thick, wavy locs and positioned himself over her while kissing all over her body, loving the pleasurable sounds she made, Unable to help himself anymore, he caught her mouth with his as he slid into her, swallowing her deep, pleasurable moan.

****

Stephanie woke up with a start and was confused for a few moments before she realized that she was in Leon's house, and alongside that realization came the memory of the previous night.

She squealed happily in her mind like a schoolgirl as she remembered how she had sex with her boss multiple times the previous night. It was as if he could not have enough of her, and after holding her for a while, he wanted to have sex again.

Stephanie pinched herself to make sure it was all real. She couldn't believe she was in her boss' bed.

She had always been in love with her boss, Leon, but he never gave her a second glance. Instead, he was obsessed with his ex-wife, who cheated on him, and his best friend, Stephanie, was almost jealous of Adriana.

Stephanie was hurt by the fact that he had eyes only for his ex-wife but knew she could never have anything going with her boss as she was way below his league, but here she was in his bed, dis-virgin by the one man she had fantasized about numerous times.

She turned on her side of the bed and glanced at Leon, who was still sleeping; she smiled, bit her lower lip, and whispered, "You are one beautiful man, Leon Phoenix, and I enjoyed every single moment spent with you last night. You do know how to make a woman feel good in bed."

She kept smiling as she remembered a particular time during their hot sex last night when Leon wanted to try different sexual positions with her, and the thought turned her on all over again. She couldn't wait for Leon to wake up.

He was the first man she had sex with, and it was an otherworldly experience she was glad she had.

She had made out with a few guys, but none came close enough to make her want to have sex with them, but with Leon, she would do it again and again.

She felt her wake up and turn fully to face him, expecting him to demand another hot round of sex but what she got shocked her instead.

Leon opened his eyes and stared at her as if she were a dirty pig lying on his bed close to him. He frowned and said, "Who the hell are you and what the freaking hell are you doing in bed with me?"

Stephanie was shocked. She couldn't believe what she was hearing and thought that this might be a joke or a prank he was trying to pull on her. She said, "Uhmm... Leon..it's me, it's me, Stephanie..we..we"

"We what? Did a cat get your tongue? What the hell is a filthy low life like you doing in bed with me, naked? Did you drug me or something? How did we get here?" He asked, pulling the covers, then stood up and walked over to his phone naked.

He dialed a number on his phone and said, "James, I need you in my room this minute; I have an intruder here." He looked at Stephanie and said, "A freaking ugly intruder at that."

Stephanie stared at him, her heart breaking at each word, thinking, 'What the hell have I gotten myself into?'
