Chapter 3: Chemistry

"Mr. Shaw, your 10 o'clock is here."

Cassandra announced after knocking on his door and placing some files on his desk. Ethan glanced over the papers before glancing at Cassandra. He took in an inaudible breath as his eyes trailed her curves. She was a petite girl, standing at about 5'3 but her body was nothing short of perfection. She was dressed professionally but with a body like that anything she wore was going to look sexy. He loved how the blue dress tightened around her hips and perfectly round ass.

He realized he was staring too long and quickly went back to looking at the files.

"Do you want me to let them in?" She asked, waiting for his reply. He cleared his throat to straighten his mind.

"Yes, send them in please." She gave him a beautiful smile and then nodded walking out the door. He couldn't help that his eyes fell right back to her ass. He adjusted himself in his seat as he felt himself start to get excited. 'Goodness Ethan! Get it the fuck together!' He scolded himself. He stood when his door started to open.

"Good morning Mr. Hansen. Please have a seat."

Cass glances at her watch as her stomach growls. It was almost 12 and she couldn't be happier. She needed the hour break to eat and breathe. This was her 3rd week working under Ethan and it was not for the faint of heart. It was a lot of work but she was working her hardest to get familiar with everything. She pretty much knew Ethan's routine at this point and was able to get everything he needed for the day ready before he even came into the office.

He seems to be happy with her work and she couldn't deny that they were spoiling her. When she saw they got her a penthouse she didn't know what to do. She was even more surprised when she was told to go to the furniture store and pick out whatever she wanted. She couldn't wait to call her parents and tell them everything that was happening for her.

Her parents weren't rich, she didn't come from a wealthy family. In fact, she was the first in her family to go to college and graduate. She was breaking generational curses and living her best life. She was beyond grateful.

She didn't take this opportunity lightly, it meant a new way of living for her and her family. So she got up early everyday to look over Ethan's schedule, have his coffee made and most urgent files on his desk by 8:15am every morning since he always came in at 8:30am. The clock hit 12 and Cass sighed a breath of relief as she locked her computer and stood up to grab her bag.

At that moment, Ethan's door opened and he walked out with his client. Shaking hands they bid each other farewell and headed in different directions. Making his way to Cassandra, he stood in front of her desk. "Going to lunch?" He asked. Cass looked up at him and quickly looked away grabbing her phone.

"I am." She didn't know why, but Ethan always made her nervous when it was just them two.

His demeanor was so powerful. It commanded attention, commanded obedience. She found it incredibly sexy, but she knew he was off limits. He was her boss and she had to stay professional. This was her dream career, she couldn't mess this up.

"Care if I join you?" He asked. Her stomach did butterflies at the sound of his deep smooth voice. "Of course not Mr. Shaw." She said, finally looking up at him. His jaw ticked slightly as a small smirk hit his lips. "I'll drive." He said and took his keys out of his pocket. Cass nodded and followed him out to the car garage.

*****************

Lunch was nothing of what Cass had expected. Ethan had really wined down and was an open book. They talked about sports and favorite tv shows. Ethan was funny, he made her almost spit out her tea a few times with some of his comments. She enjoyed seeing this side of her boss.
